La mujer que Jesús sanó

La mujer que Jesús sanó

The Women Jesus Healed

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

Referencias de las Escrituras: mateo 27:55-56, mateo 28:1-7, John 19:25, Lucas 8:2, Lucas 8:44-50, y juan 20:14-16

When I think back at how revolutionary Jesus was towards women in that day, I find it so amazing how they were permitted to travel and minister to Him and the disciples. Women during that time were treated like a piece of property with no rights, but Jesus changed that. They all felt valued and respected and were vital to the work He was doing.

In Luke Chapter 8, Mary Magdalene is described as a woman who was healed of evil spirits and infirmities, out of whom went 7 devils. Can you imagine for a moment the torment of a life she had? I wonder how many pregnancies she terminated? And how badly she was used and abused?

Mary was present for the most pivotal parts of Jesus’ life; she was at his crucifixion and burial. She was also at the tomb and saw the angels, and they spoke to her. She also met the Lord Jesus when He was resurrected and thought He was the gardener.

I love her conversation with Him. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?"

She said, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and recognized Him.

How sweet that Jesus appeared to her of all people, the woman with the horrible, troubled, and tormented past. What an incredible honor. When Jesus completely heals our lives and gives us a new purpose and values and loves us, then our natural response would be similar to hers. We belong for the first time in our lives.

Jesus speaks these words about a woman in the city who was a sinner, who washes His feet with her tears and wipes them with her hair and puts expensive ointment on his feet and kisses them. All those who observed this shameful display were horrified because she was a woman, probably a prostitute.

Lucas 8:44-50
Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?"

Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Ve en paz."

 

We love Jesus so much because of the many sins He has forgiven us of. We want to share that same love with other women who are still being tormented by the evil one.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. How has your life been impacted by Jesus?
  2. How do you serve Him because of what He has done for you?
  3. How are you sharing your testimony so others can hear the “Good News”?
  4. How can we encourage you today?

If you too want to be healed by Jesus, the first step is receiving Him as your Lord and Savior. Please listen to the audio story below where I share Bible verses that will help you understand God’s Salvation plan for you. God loves you more than you can imagine. Will you give Him a chance? He is patiently waiting for you to cry out to Him.

Scripture Verses:
Salmo 27:14, Isaías 40:31a and Psalm 103:13-14

Salmo 27:14
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.

Isaías 40:31a
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

Salmo 103:13-14
As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers we are dust.

In my journaling this week, I was struggling with feelings of rejection, which caused me to be emotionally drained and physically weak. After a few days, I finally sat down with the Lord and poured out my heart to Him. I have a big family reunion coming up, and that always, for some reason, still causes me to become anxious. Those old wounds can be easily reopened, and those old tapes start playing over and over again in my mind.

I have witnessed to all of them over the years, even my nieces and nephews. Not a one has responded to the gospel. I know that is not my responsibility; it’s Gods. I know the enemy is trying to gain entrance into my thought life because he wants me to be anxious and ineffective for God. No, that’s not happening. I am aware of his plot, and I am equipping myself with the armor of God and His word to protect my mind and my heart from his lies.

Also, I am saddened by my son’s illness and the fact that he and his wife will be missing from our family reunion. Sometimes I need to take time to feel what I am feeling instead of just brushing it off or stuffing it. It’s OK to be sad, frustrated and disappointed. Entonces, I allowed myself to go there too, and afterwards, I felt refreshed.

The enemy is trying to get me to strive for approval in the area of my tennis. Instead of enjoying the gift of being able to play, I am trying too hard to win matches and the approval of others. I am striving too much, and I am physically tired. Instead, I need to rest in the Lord. He is the one who will renew my strength (Isaías 40:31a). He is the one that will give me favor with others. He is the one who opens hearts to hear the word of God and receive it. I am just a vessel that He uses for His purposes. I need to go back to the basics, enjoy the gift of tennis, and stop trying so hard to be perfect.

I also have four events this month where I will be sharing my testimony and our ministry information, and the enemy is not happy about that. Each week, we get one or two new women who come to our ministry. I need to stay close to the Lord and keep my eyes on Him. He is the one that has opened these doors, and I need to trust Him. He is the one who will give me favor and the words to say. I trust Him completely.

God wants us to pour out our hearts to Him. He sees all of us, and He knows our struggles, our heartbreaks, and our frailty. He remembers that we are dust. He is the one who created us in the first place. In Psalm 103:13-14, we read, “As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers we are dust.”

I realized that I need to surrender my will and my heart to God and trust Him with all the outcomes. I cannot control those things, but I can control how I respond to things. I can have victory in all these areas if I let God use me the way He wants to and stop trying so hard.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. What area are you still striving in?
  2. Why are you trying so hard?
  3. Have you been able to surrender all to God? If not, why?
  4. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

Espero que este tema te haya sido útil.. If you need to talk you can email me at: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Llámame Mara (Parte 1 & 2)

Llámame Mara (Parte 1 & 2)

Llámame Mara (Parte 1)

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

Referencias de las Escrituras: Ruth 1:1-2,13b,19-20 y romanos 8:28, y filipenses 4:13

Ruth 1:1-2
In the days when the Judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife was Naomi, and their names of their sons were Mahlon and Chilion.

Ruth 1:13b
No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me!

Ruth 1:19-20
Now the two of them (Naomi and Ruth) went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, ‘Is this Naomi?’ But she said to them, ‘Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly against me. I went out full and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?

What were Naomi’s thoughts about leaving the land and her home? Did she agree with her husband’s decision? They traveled to a pagan country to live and raise their children. It seemed Naomi’s husband had no plan of returning. She did not experience the blessings of the Lord. Instead, her husband died, and her two sons married women from Moab, which was against God as He had commanded that they were not to intermarry with pagan women. Then her sons also died, leaving her alone with her two Moabite daughters-in-law.

It seems that Elimelech did not trust God to provide for him and his family, and he took matters into his own hands. This probably did not sit well with Naomi.

Did she ever discuss it with her husband? Or did she just sit quietly, but in her heart, she was crying out to God for help and guidance?

When Naomi returns home with Ruth, her daughter-in-law, she tells them to call her Mara because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to her. She was bitter because she had lost everything and felt God had abandoned her. She could have never imagined what the Almighty was going to do next. She would be the grandmother of Obed, who begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David, and so on in the line of Christ.

God chose a Moabite woman—Ruth—to be in the line of Christ. Sometimes we don’t understand why God allows certain things, but we know nothing is a surprise to Him. He knew Naomi and Ruth would return to Bethlehem-Judah and God would fulfill His plan. A Messiah would be born of a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of Ruth and Boaz.

We too have taken matters into our own hands, just like Elimelech did, when we aborted our babies. We didn’t trust that God had a good plan for us. We had to do it all on our own because there was no one else, which was a lie from the enemy. We didn’t seek godly wisdom. We hurried and made our decision without even talking it over with our parents, trusted family and friends. It’s interesting to me that we women who talk to our closest family and friends about important matters would keep this a secret.

For those of you who have suffered abuse by the hand of another, perhaps even a family member, it’s hard to not become bitter and feel like God has abandoned you. I want to encourage you, querido, God sees you and it broke His heart every time you were abused. When you cried, He cried. I am so sorry that happened to you.

But GOD also has a beautiful plan for our lives too. He can make all things work together for our good for them that love God and are called according to His purpose (ref. Romanos 8:28).

He didn’t leave Naomi broken and feeling abandoned, and He will do the same thing for us. Will you trust Him today to take the ashes from your life, the abortion and the abuse, so He can use it to heal you in all your broken places so you can help other women heal from their trauma too?

Todo lo podemos en Cristo que nos fortalece. (filipenses 4:13).

Let’s talk about bitterness. Are you bitter because of what happened to you in your past or something you are dealing with right now? Are you struggling with a prolonged illness, your finances, a broken or dysfunctional relationship? Are you struggling with trials that are lasting years with no end in sight? How do we keep trusting God through these situations and not become bitter and despondent?

It’s OK to go there and to feel what you are feeling and share it in a safe environment and then move on. You are safe here to share.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Are you bitter over the bad things that have happened to you in your past and/or things you are struggling with right now?
  2. Have you felt like God has abandoned you?
  3. What has God done to show His great love for you?
  4. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

The first step is recognizing you are bitter and feel alone. Just by being on this call or reading this blog, you are beginning to heal. God wants to redeem your past. He wants to give you beauty for ashes. Will you trust Him to do that?

Llámame Mara (Parte 2): Hardship and Pain

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

(Click here for Part 1)

Referencias de las Escrituras
Ruth 1:19-20, John 16:33b, Romanos 12:2, y juan 8:31-32

Ruth 1:19-20
Entonces, they both went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women asked, ‘Is this Naomi?’ But she said to them, ‘Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to me. I was full when I left, but the LORD has caused me to return empty. Why should you call me Naomi when the LORD has opposed me? The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me!

We have all felt abandoned by God at some point in our lives because of the trauma we have experienced through abortion and abuse. We were vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks.

When Naomi arrives back to her hometown to her friends and neighbors, she states, “The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.” Naomi’s husband Elimelech made a series of very bad decisions, and Naomi says, “I left full and came back empty.” She states that God is against her. Have you ever felt that way? Have you también felt God has abandoned you?

Sometimes we suffer the consequences of our decisions, and it has nothing to do with God’s judgment. We make decisions based on our doubt or fear. I know I have, and they have never turned out to be good ones. I rushed to have my abortion, and I rushed into marriage so not to be caught living with my boyfriend. these dos things alone are life–altering decisions, and both were made out of fear of man. I wanted to cover up my sin, unfortunately, with more sin. That never turns out well.

I didn’t trust God because I didn’t know Him. My perception of God was distorted due to what I observed as a child. I thought He was an angry God and eso He didn’t care much about me. Going to God with my unplanned pregnancy was not even a consideration. I was fearful of His wrath.

Even though Naomi knew God, she doubted Him. She was overcome by her grief and loss, and she lost sight of the goodness of God and His faithfulness over the years. It’s easy to forget those things when life becomes so hard and the trials last for years. It is easy to become despondent, depressed, and bitter.

Instead, God wants us to focus on who we are in Christ.

In this world, you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33b).

Second, we must renew our hearts and minds daily with the living powerful Word of God (ref. Romanos 12:2).

Third, we must resist isolation and reach out and send a text or call and say, “I need prayer" o “I need to talk.”

Fourth, we must have a safe community to share what we are experiencing so we can slowly unravel the chaos and the pain.

Nuestra curación es un proceso que dura toda la vida.. It is hard but also very beautiful. You are not alone. We are here to help you.

Never compare your story to someone else’s. The traumatic events that happened to you distorted your view about who you are and who God is from that dirty lens. God wants to remove the dirt and replace it with His truth.

John 8:31-32
Jesus said, “Si permanecéis en mi palabra, ustedes son mis discípulos en verdad. And you will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is victory in our Savior’s love. He has come to set the captives free (ref. Isaías 61:1).

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

Sus ojos están en el gorrión

Sus ojos están en el gorrión

Sus ojos están en el gorrión (Parte 1)
por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

 

Referencias de las Escrituras: mateo 10:29-31, Isaías 61:1-3 y 1 John 4:7-8

 

mateo 10:29-31
¿No se venden dos gorriones por una moneda de cobre?? Y ninguno de ellos cae al suelo sin la voluntad de Tu Padre.. Pero hasta los pelos de tu cabeza están todos contados, No temas pues; valéis más que muchos gorriones.

Isaías 61:1
El Espíritu del Señor Dios está sobre mí., porque el Señor me ha ungido para llevar buenas nuevas a los pobres; Me ha enviado a vendar a los quebrantados de corazón., proclamar libertad a los cautivos, y la apertura de la cárcel a los presos;

1 John 4:7-8
Amado, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor es de Dios; y el que ama ha nacido de Dios y conoce a Dios. Quien no ama no conoce a Dios, porque dios es amor.



En la tarde del lunes, Junio 5, 2023, mientras llevo a mi perro a pasear, Me encontré con un pajarito. La pobrecita aún no tenía ni plumas, y sus ojos estaban cerrados. Inmediatamente traje al perro y llamé a mi hija para preguntarle qué debía hacer.. Cuando le envié una foto del pájaro., ella dijo, "Mamá, es un cuervo”. Ella y yo odiamos a los cuervos por la forma en que viajan en un grupo llamado "asesinato" para aprovecharse de todos los pajaritos indefensos..

Llamé a muchas agencias de animales y una sugirió hacer un nido en el árbol donde estaba el nido original y los padres lo alimentarán.. Entonces, Luché tratando de encontrar mi nido improvisado y lo puse en el árbol.. Entonces para mi sorpresa, Un par de sinsontes vinieron varias veces y alimentaron al pajarito.. Le di gracias a Dios por enviarlos..

Odio ver a los débiles, vulnerable, abandonado, aprovechado y abusado o asesinado. Odio la caída cuando toda la naturaleza y la humanidad cayeron en pecado.. Anhelo ese momento en que no habrá más pecado., muerte, dolor, pena o lágrimas. Pensé, “Esta cosita tendrá suerte si logra pasar la noche.,”pero lo hizo para mi asombro..

El martes por la mañana, Miré por la ventana y vi un pájaro carpintero pelirrojo cerca del nido., y salí corriendo por la puerta para ahuyentarlo. Pensé, "Esto es Loco, no puedes hacer esto todo el día; Te volverás loco de pánico cada vez que llegue otro depredador.. Toni, tienes que entregárselo a Dios y rendirte”.

Pasó un rato y noté que el nido se había caído del árbol., Entonces busqué y encontré el pajarito y lo volví a poner en el árbol.. Los sinsontes volaban sobre mí para mantenerme alejado de este pájaro.. Traté de asegurarles, "Está bien."

Lloré y entré a la casa y escribí estos pensamientos.:
"Caballero, No puedo ayudar a todos y a todo.. no puedo salvar a nadie. Puedo proteger y ayudar a aquellos que Tú me traes., lo mejor que puedo, pero ultimamente, Necesito entregarte todo a Ti, ya sea un ave abandonada, los problemas de salud de mi hijo, una mujer que traes al ministerio o la salvación de un miembro de tu familia. Todo está en tus manos Señor; Te entrego el control.

Ver a los sinsontes cuidar de un cuervo, su enemigo, Escuché las palabras de Jesús, "Ama a tus enemigos, bendice a los que te maldicen, haced bien a los que os aborrecen”. (mateo 5:44)

Estos pájaros trabajando juntos para proteger y alimentar a este pequeño me recordaron el cuerpo de Cristo trabajando juntos para ayudar a los vulnerables., el débil, y los heridos en este mundo. en este ministerio, queremos que otros vean el corazón del Padre hacia ellos. Queremos que experimenten Su gran amor y compasión y que los cuidemos como Él lo haría..

Todo el tiempo estuve sosteniendo este pajarito en mis manos., Estaba pensando en el viejo himno., Sus ojos están en el gorrión. Los pasajes bíblicos de los que se tomó este himno están en Mateo. 10:29-31; “¿No se venden dos gorriones por una moneda de cobre?? Y ninguno de ellos cae al suelo sin la voluntad de Tu Padre.. Pero hasta los pelos de tu cabeza están todos contados, No temas pues; valéis más que muchos gorriones”.

Solo quiero que sepas, querido, que Dios te ve y te conoce tan íntimamente porque Él te creó. Y Él sabe cuántos cabellos hay en tu cabeza..

Ven a Él y trae tus sueños rotos., tu corazón roto, tu vida rota, y Él puede hacer algo hermoso con ello si estás dispuesto a confiar en Él..

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. ¿Has podido amar a tus enemigos??
  2. ¿Has experimentado un momento en el que el cuerpo de Cristo trabajó en conjunto para ministrar a otros?? Puede dar un ejemplo? ¿Cómo se sintió eso??
  3. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

Sus ojos están en el gorrión (Parte 2)
por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

 

Tuve que hacer planes para poner a dormir a mi querido y leal amigo.. Teníamos a Mozzie para 12 años. Él fue mi compañero constante y mi protector.; realmente amaba ese papel, jajaja. Estaba casi ciego y sordo., y no podía caminar muy bien. Sabía en mi corazón que mantenerlo con vida sería egoísta de mi parte.. Había cumplido su propósito en esta tierra.. Ya era hora de que lo dejara ir.. Me di unas semanas para llorar y dejar ir.

En septiembre 1, 2023, Lo llevé al veterinario, y mientras estaba en la sala de espera, el Señor trajo la canción, Sus ojos están en el gorrión, en mi opinión. Con lágrimas en los ojos y la voz entrecortada, Le canté la canción a Mozzie mientras lo sostenía en mis brazos y lo mecía.. Fue un momento dulce y le doy gracias a Dios por ello.. No planeaba estar con él hasta el final., pero supongo que Dios quería que yo estuviera allí con él.. Me quedé con él hasta que sus ojos se cerraron y su corazoncito dejó de latir.. Le agradecí por ser un amigo tan fiel.. Le di gracias a Dios por el regalo de Mozzie..

A la mañana siguiente cuando me levanté, Me senté frente a mi computadora para comenzar mis devocionales matutinos.. El Señor susurró a mi corazón, “Estoy orgulloso de ti por la forma en que mostraste amabilidad y por cómo lo cuidaste tan bien.. Bendice mi corazón cuando amas a mis criaturas”. Sonreí y mi corazón se llenó de su amor.. Quiero complacerte, Caballero, en cada área de mi vida.

Caballero, Quiero ser sanado

Caballero, Quiero ser sanado

Caballero, I Want to Be Healed

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

Referencias de las Escrituras: John 10:10b, Efesios 3:20, Isaías 41:10, Lucas 19:10 y Salmo 40:1–3

 

If we truly want to be healed from our past trauma, we must be willing to surrender all to God. We must step out and trust Him completely in this process even when it gets scary and it’s unpredictable and out of our control.

For those who have experienced abuse and abortion in our past, it is hard to let go of control because it was our protection, so we thought.

We have to come to the point where we don’t want to just survive, we want to live the abundant life Jesus came to give us (Read John 10:10b). We no longer want to just settle; we want to experience true love and acceptance, perhaps for the first time in our lives.

If you are reading this blog, you most likely have decided you want to be healed, too. You are courageous and tired of the life you were living and want more. You want to stop the cycle of dysfunction in your life and for future generations. This is a long and very hard process, but it is worth it.

If you are willing, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than what you can ask or think (Read Efesios 3:20). That’s the God we serve. He is not limited by time and space. He is eternal.

I remember back in 2006, when God called me to the post–abortion ministry, starting a journal called, “Why are the relationships closest to me toxic?” God gave me awareness that there was something going on in my relationships with those closest to me. But what was it? I was the common denominator, so what was I doing to enable these toxic relationships?

I discovered over a ten-year period of relentlessly going to God as a broken surrendered woman, “Lord I want to be healed from all the pain, rejection, abuse and my abortion. I want to be set free from my people–pleasing and fear of man. I want to know your love in the innermost parts of my being. I want to feel loved, cherished, and safe, but how do I get there?"

God was so gentle with me because He knew how fragile I was after a lifetime of pain, rejection and trauma. He was leading me with His righteous right hand on a path of healing that was so difficult at times, but it was also beautiful (Read Isaías 41:10).

I discovered the heart of God on this journey, and for that, I am most grateful. To know the Father’s heart towards us is life transforming. He is love, gentle, kind, faithful, peaceful, generous, powerful, and eternal. He is close to the abused, neglected, abandoned, and broken. He came to seek and to save the lost (Read Lucas 19:10). We were all that at one point. But God in His infinite wisdom, His abounding grace and love picked us up out of the pit and placed us on the rock, Jesus Christ our Lord, our strong foundation (Read Salmo 40:2).

Hallelujah!!! Gracias, Jesús.

Hago nuevas todas las cosas

Hago nuevas todas las cosas

I Make all Things New
By Toni Weisz/Spiritual Disciplines

 

Referencias de las Escrituras: Revelation 21:1–5, Efesios 2:8–9, Efesios 3:14–21

Revelation 21:1–5
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

God has given me, and those who serve with me in this ministry, a special privilege to walk alongside you courageous brave women on your healing journey. We have watched you come broken and scared to share your secrets of trauma from your past abortions and abuse. You are fearful of condemnation and judgement. Letting go of your secrets is not an easy thing, especially for those who have been carrying them for many decades.

But our merciful kind and loving Father doesn’t want you doing this alone anymore. He wants you healed to become the women He created you to be.

I have watched God in my own life take a broken, depressed, suicidal, tormented woman and lift me off the ground, and show me His great love, by opening my spiritual eyes to see that I was a sinner headed for hell.

My life was transformed when I heard the Gospel for the first time that Jesus was born of a virgin, vivió una vida sin pecado, was crucified, died, buried and rose again on the third day, to defeat death and Satan. He took my place on the cross, He paid my sin debt. I went running to Jesus to rescue me from the torment of a life I had been living for 34 años. I can never repay Him for the gift of salvation that He gave to me.

Efesios 2:8–9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Our healing process is a lifelong journey. I was amazed at how broken and dysfunctional I was when I started my healing back in 2006. All the time the enemy had me deceived that I was fine, no need to look at my past trauma because it was such a long time ago. “I was good.”

That could not be farther from the truth. You see, the evil one wants to keep us isolated sitting in darkness being tormented by him because then he has us exactly where he wants us.

But God does not want His daughters tormented anymore. He wants us to be healed and set free from the enemy and from our own distorted view of the truth. He wants us to have the courage to step out and trust Him to lead us. He wants us to use our voices and our testimonies to help others to step out also. It is a hard process, but it is so beautiful because Jesus gently leads us by His righteous right hand.

Jesus gave me a new life, a new song, and a new purpose. He has made all things new for me, and I know He can do this for you too if you will humble yourself before Him and trust Him. He loves you more than you can comprehend.

My prayer for you:
Efesios 3:14–21

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; que Tú, estar arraigado y cimentado en el amor, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; para que seáis llenos de toda la plenitud de Dios.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amén.

 

If you’re wondering how you too can have this new life in Jesus:

Primero, we must have a relationship with Jesus our Savior. He is our healer. There is no true life change without Him. (Salvation)

Second, we must have courage to step out and trust Him. This is hard to do, but we must trust Him in this process. (Trust)

Third, we must spend time daily reading God’s Word and praying. (Daily Devotions)

Fourth, we must be accountable to others. (Accountability)

Fifth, we must continue to want to be healed in all our broken places. This is a lifelong process. (Perseverance)

Sixth, we then go out and share our testimony so other women will have the courage to step out and be healed. (Sharing Our Testimony)


Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Where are you in your healing process? Salvation, Trust, Daily Devotions, Accountability, Perseverance, or Sharing Your Testimony?
  2. Are you ready to go to the next level in your healing?
  3. How can we encourage you on your healing journey?
