 HEALING THROUGH FORGIVENESS OF SINS

Psalm 32

Verse:5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

 
              Have you ever tried to hide something from God? More often, people try to hide their everyday sins from God. Just like Adam and Eve,  we all try to hide something from God , or for that matter,  like children hide  mistakes from  their parents. Even though we know that God is holy, and will not tolerate or stand the sin,we always try a loosing proposition, but He is  always watching you in and out thoroughly, and nothing is hidden from him. The author of this psalm David tried to hide his sins from God, and it  was like a yoke of burden on him until he confessed to God.
              The psalm presents with an intriguing  choice – whether we will hide our sins from God, or will let God cover up the sins for us?
If one is truly sorry for what they have done, you are asking for pardon from God which will end up in healing of the mind and forgiveness. Your sin is not remembered any more. You will not have to tackle with shame and guilt, but receive peace and healing of mind.
                Forgiveness allows your brain to produce more oxytocin, meaning you will end up in having less fear of shame and guilt of the sin, and will have more ability to move on from the hurtful situation. Sense of pardon or forgiveness with positive thoughts and feelings in turn, allow your physical body to heal. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, cleanse us all unrigheusness.
When God forgives our sins, he forgets them.That means he no longer holds our sins agaist us. Amen.

Prayer
Merciful father, Thank you Lord for your grace and mercy, cleansing our multitude of sins, washed away by the blood ,shed on the cross. Lord we repent of our sins, forgive , and heal our physical bodies and minds. Amen.


Thought for the Day Martin Luther said, “Sin has but 2 places it may be, either it may be with you, so that it lies on your neck, or  upon Christ the lamb of God. If it lies upon your neck you are lost, if however it lies on Christ, you are free and will be saved”.

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind who are evil by nature, give good gifts t

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they’ve been a

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things
