...Consider this....

Before I start out writing my heart or mind out, here is something that I got out of today, "Accepting God's power is accepting His Change." This thought came to mind because in class we were discussing about repentance. Just wanted to share that you y'all.

Switch of subject. So today was super cold for me at school. I had on a good layer of clothing but it was still cold. I asked one of my Hmong friends from Nebraska is this is cold for him and he said, "its alright." I also asked him how cold does Nebraska get, "Dude, way colder" is what he said.

In the meanwhile I was reading: Luke 9:1-3 Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.

After reading this passage and reflecting upon it, I concluded that Jesus gave healing power and authority to the disciples. We all know that they received His power and authority and went out just like that. Yes...just like that. But it is harder for all of us to this nowadays. I think it is harder for the Hmong Churches and Christians, to see God's healing power. Come guys and gals lets go out and start healing with all that Christ gave to us. Easier said than done. Yes, I know.

I am 23, and positive with Gout. If you don't know what Gout is check out the link provided here: http://www.niams.nih.gov/Health_Info/Gout/gout_ff.asp

Long story short, I am healed from gout just like that. My friend prayed for me and immediately I was healed. How do I know? Well, just to make it short and simple I ate certain food that will trigger the attacks. Its almost like having food allergy. So my friend and I bought some colossal shrimp and made some curry with it. I ate 6 shrimps and waited to see if anything would happen. Two days has gone by and nothing. I waited and waited and still nothing. Praise God!....as I got up one morning. I also went to a Bethel healing service where I was a bit skeptical about. But the day before the service I prayed to God saying that, "The women who touched Jesus' cloak was healed, why do I have such small faith."

I finally realized that God's healing power is sufficient and given at anytime at any moment. Sometimes we might be one more prayer away from getting healed. God's healing power is available for anyone out there. Jesus went to the unwanted, poor, drunkard, and cast out and served them. Are we being Christ like? Are you avoiding His Power ad Authority? Remember this, the Holy Spirit that lived in Paul, the Disciples, and Apostles, is the same one that lives in you today!
