THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD
THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD
Telling your Doctor, Nurse, Pastor or your spouse where its hurting doesn't mean you are faithless... it only mean that you do have faith in the institutions and gifts God has set in place to provide help and remedies to one another.
The danger is when these institutions upon your request for help asked you to claim it is well without doing anything in helping you to get remedy for your situation. Yes! It is well and that is why God provided means of remedies to situations we can't handle ourselves. The Priest for spiritual remedies, Doctors and nurses for health issues, spouses for mutual help, Governmental leadership for order and more.
Lets approach these institution accordingly with openness and our cemeteries will reduces the numbers of visitors who comes there on daily based.
Negative thoughts come to every one. The key is, don't verbalize them around as songs in your mouth. Be positive or be quiet except when with the right and God's ordained mechanism to handle the case.
I don't know if it is I who didn't read the following scripture well or James who scripted it: "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil (balm) in the name of the Lord."-(James 5:14 NIV).-After the prayers, balm for healing was also provided in the name of the Lord!!!
Jeremiah bemounded the state of our faith today in the following lines: "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?"-(Jeremiah 8:22 NIV).
Read this: "The men designated by name took the prisoners, and from the plunder they clothed all who were naked. They provided them with clothes and sandals, food and drink, and healing balm. All those who were weak they put on donkeys. So they took them back to their fellow countrymen at Jericho, the City of Palms, and returned to Samaria."-(2 Chronicles 28:15 NIV)
DON'T DIE A FOOL or FOOLED.-Come to the cross with me!!! There is help there!!!
