True healing

Let me start out with this:

John 14:12-17 King James Version (KJV)

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

What is more important? Going to church or knowing and obeying the "will of God?"
Though we are not to forsake "the meeting of our fellowship" the reason we do that is so that we can "obey the will of God."
So how do we know the will of God? We know the will of God by 3 things:
1. His Word (the Bible)
2. His Spirit (the baptism in and repetitive "being filled")
3. A personal/intimate relationship with Jesus Christ (not just lip  
    service but becoming one with Him.
By these three "applications" being implored everyday we will cultivate a "Father/Son" relationship that will guide us in "walking in the Spirit and there by not satisfy the lust of the flesh." Vs 16 is a promise that makes all other promises possible. He is the "Spirit of Truth" and will guide us in all truth. God's Truth not our interpretation.
Every Word of God is true and cannot be broken, but for those whose hearts have not been "cleansed by the Word" vs 13-14 might be an attraction to ask wicked things of God which of course He cannot do, "for God cannot be tempted with sin nor temps He anyone."
So what has this to do with anything?
Troublesome times are apon us, and not just political, or national.
The root of all "problems" is spiritual.

Ephesians 6:12-13King James Version (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

What we are experiencing today is brought on by waging a warfare "in the flesh" with carnal weapons, and not proceeding it with spiritual warfare (Prayer and supplication to God) to bolster our "actions" with Divine power from above.

Mark this one thing:
Our ways have failed because we have failed. We, to long have looked to man to "set things right", and to few have exerted the practice of "the prayers of a rightous man availeth much." We have not given "the Comforter" significant "abiding" with us so that He could lead us "in all Truth."
"Like sheep we have gone our own way" and have "reaped what we have sown." Sorry to say that reaping is never 1 for 1 but 1 for 30, 60, or 100 fold, ergo what we have now for acceptance in our present state: adultery (extra marital affairs), fornication (sex outside marriage), sodomy (read Romans 1:18-32), murder, and many other "not so long ago sins" that are accepted as normal now.
These times (both spiritual and physical) warrant a drastic change if the future is going to accomplish any reformation.

So here is the question:
What do you believe?
Have you received the Comforter?
Is the "change" worth the effort for our grandchildren and those afar off?
Just know that NO change is going to come unless this takes place:
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people (God's people), which are called by my name (the name of Jesus Christ, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
AND Will HEAL THEIR LAND!
Notice it didn't say just vote in the change, (we must apply ourselves here) but "humble ourselves", "confess our sins (mentioned above), pray, and seek His face." Before the voting and petitioning that must be done.
Only then will this "land be healed."

There is the layout for future success and change for the better. There in is the hope for our progeny.

What thinkest thou?
Their future is in our hands.
"I put before you life and death, I would that you chose life." Jesus said that.
Will the future hold life or death?
It's up to us to start doing what will change the evil we have to good now.

Love, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit to all who set their hearts on these things above.
Love
