He That Healeth Thee (Preface excerpt)

Christine Brooks Martin — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:37:43 +0000

There are people, events, situations and circumstances that are bound to challenge your existence. Hopefully they will not mirror the Job experience. But they will affect you mentally, physically, emotionally and/or spiritually. When you grieve, mourn, or experience pain and despair there is a corresponding cry of the soul. Even if you try to hide it or pretend it doesn’t exist, it is there. The good news is God hears every cry of the soul. He created us to communicate that cry to Him alone. That’s why it seems as though no one can fully understand what you’re going through. Or you may wonder why nothing or no one can effectively resolve your situation. Turning to God is the solution and remedy for every cry of the soul. He interprets, understands and He heals. Why shouldn’t He? He is the Creator and He knows you very, very well… before you were born… every hair on your head. Some people are nay-sayers because they choose to doubt there is a God or they lack faith in Him. But Abba is the Father on every spiritual birth certificate. His signature is all over existence.

One of the keys to achieving healing, wholeness and well-being is to acknowledge that you don’t like what you’re experiencing. When you acknowledge your feelings it’s easier to receive help. Then the next step is to yield to God’s help. Through faith in God, prayer, praise and the scriptures, you will be able to make necessary transitions from the effects of any crisis, affliction, tragedy or trial. When you study the scriptures you will begin to understand who He can be in your life. You will discover who you are in Christ Jesus. Peace, restoration, healing, wholeness, and well-being becomes accessible to you.

My goal is to simply point you to the truth, which is the eternal word of God, the scriptures. My late pastor, Dr. Robbie Horton told me one day that “some things are caught–beyond seeing, hearing or being in the midst of that something. When you recognize your need for what is presented, and you’re determined to receive or embrace it, then you will allow it to process and change you.”

Whatever state you’re in for whatever reason(s), prayer and the scriptures are a source of comfort, healing, guidance and direction. Through a personal relationship with God and praying the scriptures, you have the keys and access to emotional, physical and spiritual-well being and wholeness.

When I Have Made Mistakes

Christine Brooks Martin — Wed, 08 May 2013 23:38:24 +0000

You are the Lord my God who is merciful and have not forsaken me. Teach me to acknowledge when I have strayed from your pathways. Teach me to acknowledge when I have done iniquity before you so I will do it no more. I do not forget your precious promises and I quickly repent when I have turned away from your truth. You are the Almighty God who restores my soul as I confess and repent of my sin, iniquity and transgressions. Daily I seek you with all my heart and soul. You make me glad because you can be found. Nothing separates me from the love of Christ. As I walk in your love, I am not the cause of tribulation to others. I am not the cause of distress to others. I am not the cause of persecution to others. I am not the cause of lack or barrenness to others. And I am not the cause of danger to others. I apologize quickly and ask for their forgiveness so my offerings to you will be acceptable and blessed.

You enable me to spread the knowledge of Jesus Christ like a sweet life-giving perfume everywhere. With you Lord, there is nothing too impossible for me to do for you. I am born of God and my faith is victorious over the challenges of the world. Thank you for physical, mental, emotional restoration. Thank you for victory through my Lord Jesus Christ. My life is a testimony to yielding to your Holy Spirit and obedience to your truth. I continually seek the knowledge of your truth. In all my getting I receive understanding and exercise wisdom. As I overcome the challenges of life and this world, I inherit all things that are needful for life, peace and godliness. You have made me glad and I rejoice because of all you have done and are doing for me. Lord you are exalted forever. You are my God and I am your son/daughter.

When I am Frustrated

Christine Brooks Martin — Sat, 04 May 2013 01:54:30 +0000

Father God, when I am frustrated I remember that you hold my right hand. I am not anxious because you are my helper. There is nothing greater than your rest to your people. So I abide in your rest when I cease from trying to accomplish the impossible without wisdom, counsel, and faith in you.

You are the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel who says that in your rest I am saved. Through quietness and confidence in you, I find strength. I pursue your word that generates peace to my soul and spirit. Thank you for your peace that rules in my heart because I am your son/daughter. You are the the Lord of my salvation who establishes my thoughts and intentions. I commit every effort and attempt to the counsel of your will. When you move in my behalf it overshadows opposition.

Your Holy Spirit helps me in my weaknesses. Your Spirit enables me to pray as I should and intercedes in my behalf. Thank you for your goodness and I do not faint in the midst of frustration. I am patient and encouraged because you strengthen me to trust you in all things. I am still when necessary and I can do all things by your strength. I retain your scriptures in my heart that says who I am and what I can do through you. So with confidence I overcome confusion, challenges and obstacles that cause frustration.

A flood or avalanche of circumstances may confront me to try my faith. But through faith and confidence in you, I can ask anything according to your will and you hear me. You keep my feet from slipping and being overtaken. I trust in you forever and worship you in spirit and in truth. Guide me continually by your instructions, law, precepts and commandments. The counsel of the word teaches and directs me in making proper choices. You are my Lord God Jehovah, my provision for every necessity and you are my everlasting strength.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!!

Christine Brooks Martin — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:30:34 +0000

I’m not slow, just not as fast as others might want me to be.
Slow and careful is always better than fast and reckless.
I always make mistakes when I allow people to rush me, then I wind up spending more time doing things over again. It’s funny how people will take their time doing what they do, but want you to hurry up for them. (Time: Them–98%, You–2%)
I have a sign I put on my desk once in a while and it says “I will be done as soon as I finish.” When I don’t put it out and someone comes to me to ask how long before they can have this or that, I say with the sweetest and most sincere voice, “Just for you, I will be done as soon as I finish.”
