By Faith we are Healed.


Matthew 8:5-13  Jesus went to the city of Capernaum. When he entered the city, an army officer came to him and begged for help.  (6)  The officer said, "Lord, my servant is very sick at home in bed. He can't move his body and has much pain."  (7)  Jesus said to the officer, "I will go and heal him."  (8)  The officer answered, "Lord, I am not good enough for you to come into my house. You need only to give the order, and my servant will be healed.  (9)  I know this, because I understand authority. There are people who have authority over me, and I have soldiers under my authority. I tell one soldier, 'Go,' and he goes. I tell another soldier, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and my servant obeys me."  (10)  When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. He said to those who were with him, "The truth is, this man has more faith than anyone I have found, even in Israel.  (11)  Many people will come from the east and from the west. These people will sit and eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in God's kingdom.  (12)  And those who should have the kingdom will be thrown out. They will be thrown outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain."  (13)  Then Jesus said to the officer, "Go home. Your servant will be healed the way you believed he would." Right then his servant was healed.

As many of you know I injured my back in January 2012. My back reached a point where none of the drugs they gave me or treatments they tried would help my back. I had to us a cane everywhere I went and the back problems had caused problems with my knee and I was wearing a knee brace. Each doctor I saw had a different ideal of what was causing my pain and how it needed to be treated. I knew there was really only one way to repair the damage to my back. So I went to church and was prayed over I was asking got for relief from the pain. I received what I asked from God. I improved to the point where my pain was under control as long as took the Morphine they were giving. I kind of accepted the fact that this may be as good as it will get. Then the other day I was at Church when the pastor said we had to have faith that God is healing us when we ask it and if we don't we need other that do. When I began to accept that it was not all about me being a man of great faith that through the faith of others I could be healed I really began to feel God's healing touch. As in the story above it was not the sick mans faith that healed him but the faith of another.

I have been off of the morphine for a week now and I feel my back getting stronger and better each day. This is thanks to those around me that have the faith to keep praying for my healing.. Thank you all.

A Christmas Story


This is the story of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ it is taken directly from Bible(ERV)












Matthew 1:18-25  This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened. His mother Mary was engaged to marry Joseph. But before they married, he learned that she was expecting a baby. (She was pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.)  (19)  Mary's husband, Joseph, was a good man. He did not want to cause her public disgrace, so he planned to divorce her secretly.  (20)  But after Joseph thought about this, an angel from the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to accept Mary to be your wife. The baby inside her is from the Holy Spirit.  (21)  She will give birth to a son. You will name him Jesus. Give him that name because he will save his people from their sins."  (22)  All this happened to make clear the full meaning of what the Lord said through the prophet:  (23)  "The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel." (Immanuel means "God with us.")  (24)  When Joseph woke up, he did what the Lord's angel told him to do. He married Mary.  (25)  But Joseph did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And he named him Jesus.

Matthew 2:1-23  Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the time when Herod was king. After Jesus was born, some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem.  (2)  They asked people, "Where is the child who has been born to be the king of the Jews? We saw the star that shows he was born. We saw it rise in the sky in the east and have come to worship him."  (3)  When King Herod heard about this, it upset him as well as everyone else in Jerusalem.  (4)  Herod called a meeting of all the leading Jewish priests and teachers of the law. He asked them where the Messiah would be born.  (5)  They answered, "In the town of Bethlehem in Judea, just as the prophet wrote:  (6)  'Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, you are important among the rulers of Judah. Yes, a ruler will come from you, and that ruler will lead Israel, my people.'"  (7)  Then Herod had a private meeting with the wise men from the east. He learned from them the exact time they first saw the star.  (8)  Then he sent them to Bethlehem. He said, "Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me. Then I can go worship him too."  (9)  After the wise men heard the king, they left. They saw the same star they had seen in the east, and they followed it. The star went before them until it stopped above the place where the child was.  (10)  They were very happy and excited to see the star.  (11)  The wise men came to the house where the child was with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened the boxes of gifts they had brought for him. They gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  (12)  But God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they went home to their own country a different way.  (13)  After the wise men left, an angel from the Lord came to Joseph in a dream. The angel said, "Get up! Take the child with his mother and escape to Egypt. Herod wants to kill the child and will soon start looking for him. Stay in Egypt until I tell you to come back."  (14)  So Joseph got ready and left for Egypt with the child and the mother. They left during the night.  (15)  Joseph stayed in Egypt until Herod died. This gave full meaning to what the Lord said through the prophet: "I called my son to come out of Egypt."  (16)  Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him, and he was very angry. So he gave an order to kill all the baby boys in Bethlehem and the whole area around Bethlehem. Herod had learned from the wise men the time the baby was born. It was now two years from that time. So he said to kill all the boys who were two years old and younger.  (17)  This gave full meaning to what God said through the prophet Jeremiah:  (18)  "A sound was heard in Ramah-- bitter crying and great sadness. Rachel cries for her children, and she cannot be comforted, because her children are gone."  (19)  While Joseph was in Egypt, Herod died. An angel from the Lord came to Joseph in a dream  (20)  and said, "Get up! Take the child with his mother and go to Israel. Those who were trying to kill the child are now dead."  (21)  So Joseph took the child and the mother and went to Israel.  (22)  But he heard that Archelaus was now king in Judea. Archelaus became king when his father Herod died. So Joseph was afraid to go there. Then, after being warned in a dream, he went away to the area of Galilee.  (23)  He went to a town called Nazareth and lived there. This gave full meaning to what God said through the prophets. God said the Messiah would be called a Nazarene.
