Before I start I would like to apologize for the absence in my journal.  I am in my last semester at my community college and am working nonstop to try and finish the semester with my best foot forward.  God is faithful in providing a plentiful amount of help in making it through the semester...but between the time at school, work, and of course church I am afraid that my journal writing has been a bit on the neglected side.  I hope that I will get back to writing regularly again soon!!!

Satan can wiggle his way into the cracks of your life by way of your past.  A past that, once you have been buried and born again in the Holy Spirit, does not even exist in the sight of God.  The enemy will take the past hurts, past troubles and trials, and he will use them as tools to bring you down and try to seperate you from God.  I am so glad to know that (Romans 8:38-39) "...neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to sparate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I am glad that I have finally allowed God to move in and start restoring my life with his healing touches.  Pulling down strongholds is not an easy thing, but with God we can be "more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Rom. 8:37), and we can pull down the strongholds that Satan is trying desperately to keep standing in our lives. 

It has taken me quite a time to accept that there is a difference between a "miracle" and a "healing" and that God works through both of them, and both are equally wonderful blessings.  Healings just take a tid bit longer.  SM spoke on this a few weeks ago.  Explaining that sometimes God touches our lives by way of Miracles.  For instance when he heals the blind man in Luke 18:43 ("And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."). This scripture describes a scene where a blind man received his sight "immediately".  It was a miracle. 

Sometimes God chooses to work a healing "process" rather than a miracle.  It was difficult for me to accept that he was not going to take all of the memories of hurt and torment immediately away from my life; that a process was going to have to take place (and even then there may be that "thorn in the flesh" that remains).  Sometimes it doesn't come immediately, sometimes that second touch is needed (Mark 8:22-25) This time he touched a blind man and he could see, but his sight was not clear, it took the second touch for the healing to become complete...

Sometimes it takes more than even 2 or 3 times; 2 Kings 5: 10-12 "And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and striked his hand over the place, and recover the leper. Are not Abana and Pharapar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage."  Naaman had to dip seven times in the Jordan before he was healed...This just shows that sometimes God sends us through a process, sometimes it isn't immediate, sometimes we have to wait for it, and waiting can be hard...sometimes we fight against having to wait, we want "another way" to do things, a quicker way, an easier way, a cleaner way...come on the "Jordan river" wasn't the cleanest place in the world, and even Naaman himself questioned why he couldn't be cleaned in a nicer river, yet the Jordan is where God said for Naaman to wash, and that is where his "healing" was held in God's word). 

Sometimes we need to open ourselves up and listen to the advice and counsel of our brothers and sisters in Christ. In 2 Kings 5:13 Naaman's servants came to speak with him, and this is what the servant had to say: "My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?" Sometimes what God asks us to do isn't our picture perfect idea of great fun, but God knows best, and he would never turn you in a wrong direction, nor make you "wash" or go through anything that would harm you.  He may put let things come your way that will be a struggle for you, things that you have to actively fight against (in mind and spirit), BUT he will never put more on you than you can handle. 

After Naaman listened to the words of his servant He then went down, "and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again liike unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean." 2 Kings 5:14.  It took him some time, but Naaman finally came to his senses.  He heard the word that God had to deliver by the mouth of Elisha, and he kept those words in his mind...but it took the message being heard a "second" time by someone close to Naaman before it really sank in and he obeyed God and received his healing.

We can be like this sometimes too.  Sitting in church, listening to a sermon being preached from the pulpit and you just "KNOW" that the word being brought that night is being preached "just for you" because it is speaking on just the things you have been seeking God for.  While you keep the message in your mind, you do not act on it though...you do not get up and claim your victory or your healing (I am just as guilty as this).  Later on you find yourself nearing rock bottom, and before long you find that you cannot even "reach up to touch bottom" any longer.  This is a time when you need to surround yourself with the word of God and with your Brothers and Sisters in the family of God.  For myself, I had heard the message that God was giving to me, and like I just mentioned it was in fact preached to me on a church night...I listened, and took the words of God in, but I held them snug in the back of my mind.  Then things progressively got worse, and finally I had come to that place where I couldn't even touch rock bottom by lifting my hand as far up as I could reach it.  Then a Sister in Christ spoke with me, and the same message I had received from Christ through the sermon, was the "same" message and advice that she brought to me.  Like Naaman, it took that "second" time of hearing that message...it took hitting rock bottom before I realized that if I didn't go dip in "my" Jordan river, then that healing wasn't going to come.  Again I say that I am so glad that I have finally allowed God to move in and start restoring my life with his healing touches.

Don't fret if you come up against a stronghold or a trial in your life and you don't see a "miracle" take the struggle away immediately...just praise God for the work that you know he is capable of doing in your life, allow yourself to receive his healing touches, and remember that sometimes God chooses to let it take that "extra" 2, 3, 7, etc.  touches before the process is complete.  He is always faithful to come through for his children though, never Doubt that God is with you because he IS ALWAYS there, and there is nothing in our lives to great or to small for him to care about and take care of!!!

Natalie Grant ~Bring It All Together

I hear you say
That you can't go on
Cause you had it all and watched it fall away
You feel betrayed
Cause everything's gone wrong
Can't find the strength to hope for a better day
You may not understand the reasons
But his promise will never change.

Chorus
He's gonna take your pain
He's gonna take your doubt
He's gonna bring it all together, bring it all together
Gonna make you happy
He's gonna make you laugh out loud
He's gonna bring it all together
Bring it all together for good.

You say you live your life
Doing the best you can
Wondering if the struggle means anything
If you realized that it's in his hands
You'll find the peace that sweet surrender brings
We may not understand the reasons
But his promise will never change

Chorus
He's gonna take your pain
He's gonna take your doubt
He's gonna bring it all together, bring it all together
Gonna make you happy
He's gonna make you laugh out loud
He's gonna bring it all together
Bring it all together for good.

There will come a day of healing
We will see the master plan
We will celebrate his faithfulness
And we'll sing (sing) and we'll shout (shout)
Praise His Name

Chorus
He's gonna take your pain
He's gonna take your doubt
He's gonna bring it all together, bring it all together
Gonna make you happy
He's gonna make you laugh out loud
He's gonna bring it all together
Bring it all together for good.

Chorus
He's gonna take your pain
He's gonna take your doubt
He's gonna bring it all together, bring it all together
Gonna make you happy
He's gonna make you laugh out loud
He's gonna bring it all together
Bring it all together for good.
