19800409 ROR - As Helpful To Health - Physically - Healing Explained - Rev. Tommy Jones
Sorry for the late posting, but this one disappeared:
For the next three weeks, Brother Tommy will be speaking abut #healing. Why do Christ followers need healing, why do they even get sick? Should we pray for healing? What does it mean when that healing doesn’t come? Is sickness a result of sin? What did Job and Paul both recognize about sickness? What does the Bible say about the use of medicine? What does it say about rest? Who is the Great Physician? Did Jesus require a certain level of Faith before he healed people? Where does healing come from? Can the Devil heal?
Next week we will start looking at what the Bible says about healing expressed in the Bible.

What does #liberty mean to you? #Freedom? #Rights? #Immunity? As a child of four, I remember my father and my mothers’ three brothers were all in the armed forces fighting for me in WWll. (that’s what mother said) I would hear FDR talking over the radio and feel afraid for my loved ones surrounded with bullets and bombs. So many lives were lost; however, all of my family came home – even Uncle Gerald received a silver star at the age of 23. In 1940’s, I felt our entire country was working together to stop the Nazi takeover. Then a shift came from the rebellious 1960s forward with free love, peaceniks, riots, marches, drugs, and hate speech which were all done under the banner of rights! Confusing? Let’s turn to God’s Word – the Bible for Truth and clarity. “When you turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away . Now the Lord is that Spirit: and WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.” llCor.3:16,17 Now that is the first Truth we need to acknowledge – liberty is with the Spirit of the Lord! “We are troubled on every side yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair. We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us”llCor.4:6,7 “Stand fast in the LIBERTY wherewith CHRIST HAS MADE US FREE. YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED UNTO LIBERTY (FREEDOM); ONLY DO NOT USE FREEDOM (RIGHTS) INTO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FLESH, BUT THROUGH LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Gal.5:1,13 Are you seeing God’s Liberty – we are free to serve and love others! You say, “What’s in it for me?” Let me tell you …James1:25 “One who LOOKS INTENTLY AT THE PERFECT LAW, THE LAW OF LIBERTY and ABIDES BY IT, not having become a forgetful hearer, but an effectual doer this MAN SHALL BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.”
Who? What? Where? #News Flash…#GOD IS HERE! You say, “Take a look around…#violence abounds prompted by hate, rage, and terror!” What do you watch? Where do you go? Who is your friend? Do you think that all the time we spend watching, reading, and listening to worldly opinions are making us more enlightened to follow their philosophy? I believe we all have a choice to make everyday as to how we spend our time… what we do…where we go…who accompany’s us. Have you made time for the Lord? Before I hear the news or talk to others, I start my day reading God’s Word the Bible. You see, I want to go to the true source, My Creator, Sustainer for the Living God is here in my life. I just read Isaiah 58 and 59. May I share with you, 58:2 “they seek me daily and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching God.” 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.” Does that sound familiar? Be informed GOD IS HERE to all who will turn from the evil and call upon Him..58:9 “Then you shall call, and the LORD shall answer; cry out, and He shall say, HERE I AM….14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD” Each of us have daily decisions to make, my prayers is that you will KNOW THE GREAT I AM IS HERE.
19800402 ROR - As Helpful To Health - Mentally - Moving With Maturity - Rev. Tommy Jones
What is mental or #EmotionalMaturity and how does this lesson from 37 years ago still apply today? Is anyone 100% mentally healthy? What are 5 keys to attaining emotional maturity? Is there a way to measure emotional maturity? As I listened to these 9 measures, my mind wandered to the current political discourse on social media and in the news and the phrase ’stunted growth’ seems to describe the current situation. How can we best obtain the marks of maturity?
Next week we will start looking at what the Bible says about healing.

Time to make a #clean sweep of things? I will admit it is hard for me to let things go whether it is people or objects. You see I have painfully been removing stored materials from a top shelf in a closet today. It is not easy for me to #purge/clean/remove things. (might have some Monk tendencies) Maybe you are one of the now generation who seems to think everything is disposable so you have no problem tossing and replacing. Infomercials are continually showing me the latest gadget to clean or remove the dirt and germs that plague all of us. Today healthy supplements are promoted to cleanse/purge our body from toxins that accumulate from bad dietary choices. We know that our physical body has to be washed and cared for properly to sustain our functioning capabilities but what about our spiritual self? Do you need to clean/purge your mouth from some of the things going in & out? Where are you going and staying? With whom are you keeping company? What spot in your life needs to be removed? Heb.9:14″…. the BLOOD OF CHRIST, who through the ETERNAL SPIRIT offered HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT TO GOD, PURGES YOUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD… 28..So CHRIST was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation..10:10 WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST ONCE FOR ALL.”
