Yesterday we visited St. Joseph’s Oratory, the largest church in Canada. The church is stunning. The statutes, the architectural structure, the stained glass windows all are breathtaking. It is believed Brother Bessette had healing power through his dedication to St. Joseph and many people were healed. There is a display of abandoned crutches as people left healed. B But as I walked through the halls of this beautiful church with...

Everyone Gets an A
In the Mornings

OWhat if you were taking a math class and the teacher announced on the first day, “everyone will get an A if you show up and try.” I bet if the fear of failing was removed, you would find that math really isn’t as scary as you thought. I bet you will find you have math skills that have lain dormant for years. Well, Jesus’ finished work on the cross...

It Is Finished!
In the Mornings

I was commenting on the humility of a former student, R. Another student said, “Well M is also humble. Even though she makes an A on most tests, she still worries about her grade and thinks she didn’t do well.” I looked at M (she is a former student and we have a great relationship) and said, “That’s not being humble. That’s being neurotic.” Then I thought about us as...

I Am Healed!
In the Mornings

Is There Some Sin in My Life That Prevents God from Healing Me? Jesus was pierced for our rebellion against God, crushed for our depravity, our perverse ways were laid upon him so that by His wounds we all can receive His healing power. There is no sin in our lives that is greater than Jesus redemptive work on the cross. During the three years Jesus ministered upon this earth,...

Thou Art Loosed
In the Mornings

Yesterday, we prayed for a man who had Chrone’s (not sure about spelling). Apparently he had it for most of his life. We asked him his pain level at the moment. “I’m always in pain. Right now it’s about a six.” We prayed and asked his pain level. “It’s better but I’m always in pain.” As we prayed a few more times, I noticed he kept saying, “There is always...

Got Faith?
In the Mornings

“Faith is 99% obedience.” and “It’s not how much faith you have but how much faith God has in you.” Two truths spoken this Sunday by Ed Silvoso that have me pondering. These statements are a paradigm shift and if we believe it, have the power to break off inactivity and fear. Believing in the God within us prompts us into action. God has faith that he has equipped us...

Heal & Restore
In the Mornings

Yesterday during worship. I heard the Lord say, “My Presence is here to heal and restore.” Healing and restoration are characteristic of God. He loves to heal and restore. In the Old Testament, Israel was forever getting in trouble, wandering away from God by worshipping other gods. When things got bad because of their actions, they would cry out to God. In His mercy, He would heal and restore their...

When God GPS Your Steps
In the Mornings

The Pharisees were indignant. How dare Jesus heal on the Sabbath? How dare he show compassion to the sick and hurting on a day set aside for rest? Jesus’ defense was simple, “I speak to you timeless truth. The Son is not able to do anything from himself or through my own initiative. I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same...

Homework
In the Mornings

Headed home today from a Mexico Missions Trip, thinking about the previous week. God has been so good this week. Here are some of the highlights: Over 130 children loved and taught the gospel. Over 40 adults loved, taught deep truths on their identity and God’s love. Numerous healings – eyesight restored, woman had stomach pain four days and was delivered, man had pain in body and couldn’t move his...
