DEPICTION OF JESUS HEALING A LEPER








I have special compassion today for people who 
are experience pain due to chronic illness. This 
pain may be a result of cancer, severe arthritis,
or organ damage due to Hypertension or Diabetes.
You are feeling lonely and  depressed because you 
are starting a NEW YEAR crippled by severe pain.

Jesus has not changed and He said all you need 
is the faith of a mustard seed. My friend please 
remember HIS WORD:


 HEBREWS 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and 
forever.
MATTHEW 17:20



So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; 
for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a 
mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move 
from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing 
will be impossible for you.
LIFE LESSON:

The Bible tells us that Jesus healed people with leprosy.  During Bible days, you were treated like an outcast if 
you had leprosy. You were considered "unclean" and this disease disfigured the body. Here are scriptures about a man He healed from leprosy:


MATTHEW  8:1-4 

1 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 
 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying,
“I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but 
go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
