STOP BLEEDING & LIVE

by

Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Ezekiel 16:6; Luke 8:43-44)

It was summer of 1997 and I had just recovered from a miscarriage. My body and my emotions were healing from the trauma of losing a baby. We desperately wanted a child but my body was sending us the message that it was not possible. One afternoon I began to bleed uncontrollably. I felt like I was hemorrhaging and fear gripped my mind like a vice.

I have never seen Kent anxious or worried over anything and this situation was no different. He looked up a scripture he had heard before and spoke it over me. He touched my tummy and spoke the Word of the Living God. He commanded the bleeding to stop and for my body to normalize.

And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood,

I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live!

Yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live!

Hearing the Word, the fear lifted and almost immediately the bleeding stopped.

We were reminded of the woman in scripture who had suffered from a flow of blood. This woman bled for twelve years! She went to more than one physician but no one was able to help her. But she heard that Jesus was in town and she made her way to him.

She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His garment,

and immediately her flow of blood ceased.

Two thousand years ago, this woman had to seek Jesus out and reach out and physically touch Him. I am sure that she didn’t feel like pushing through a crowd toward Jesus. But she knew if she could touch him, he could make her bleeding stop.

That summer afternoon we reached out by faith and touched the fringe of His garment. The woman with the issue of blood touched the Word and was made whole. When we spoke the Word, I was made whole.

Father, thank you for directing us to Your Word that day 19 years ago, to receive help and healing in a time of trouble. It is my desire to take every issue, every challenge, every obstacle to Your throne of grace and speak the Living Word over it and receive whatever I need. Thank you for the power of Your Word.

(Adapted from Ezekiel 16:6; Luke 8:43-44; Romans 5:8)

Verse 1

When I saw you polluted in your own blood 
I said to you “Live!”

I said to you, “Live!” (3X)

But God so rich in mercy 
because of His great love

The love with which he loved us 
while we were yet sinners

While we were still in our sins 
Christ died for us (3X)

JESUS HEALS A SON / LoveSpeaksLife

“Divine Healing”

JESUS HEALS A SON
by
Rebecca Cooley

Adapted from John 4:43-54)

Jesus returns to Cana where He had turned water to wine. The people eagerly greet Him, not because of who He is but because they were impressed with what they had seen. They really do not have a clue about who He really is or what he is up to. A very prominent man, a royal official, approaches needing something from Jesus. “Jesus, Jesus! I beg you, come and heal my son! My son is at the point of death!” “Will you not believe in me unless you see signs and miracles?” “Sir, do come down at once before my child dies!” “Go back home. Your son will live.”

The man trusts Jesus’ words, turns and heads toward home. At the exact same time, his servant starts toward Cana. He has news his master needs to hear. . . “Your son lives!” “What time did his fever break!” “Yesterday about 1:00 in the afternoon!”

The father knew that Love had spoken life over his son. The words of Jesus may have come back to his mind and his thoughts may have been . . .“That man’s very words gave life to my son! I have received a miracle but it feels more profound than a miracle. I feel a depth of love that I have never felt. He healed my son because He is Love! I have been in the presence of the Messiah!”

Signs and miracles will pass away. I could see a miracle today and it fade from my memory tomorrow. I have experienced God moving and changing a situation. I have seen miracles. But I can’t name them. I have forgotten most of them. But I do not forget Love’s life giving words over me! I put my faith and trust in Jesus because of love. Love does not fade away. Faith comes from love. Faith is not dependent on signs. Faith depends on love. Love speaks life everywhere it goes.

Lord, Your Word speaks life over me. I embrace the love that flows from Your life words. My faith is based on my relationship with you, not what you can do for me. I am connected to Life and Love today. I will speak life giving words to everyone I meet today because I am the recipient of Your Love and life giving words!

A BLIND MAN / Expressions Of His Love

This is the 4^th of 6 devotions with the theme of

"Divine Healing"

A BLIND MAN
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from John 9:1-7)

Jesus and his disciples were walking along and they noticed a blind man on the side of the way. The disciples asked him, “Rabbi who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”

“It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but he was born blind in order that the workings of God should be manifested in him.”

Jesus then spat on the ground and made mud with his saliva and spread the mud over the man’s eyes. “Go wash in the Pool of Siloam.”

The man went to the pool and washed and received his sight.

What do you need from God today? Are you facing a sickness that has paralyzed you or blinded you? Do you know someone with challenges in their body that human knowledge and medical wisdom has not been able to touch?

This blind man received his sight as a praise to God. It was an opportunity for God to be glorified. Our physical challenges are opportunities for God to be glorified through His Son.

God doesn’t want to be begged. God wants to extend grace to us. And He wants to express His love to us. Our healing is a praise to God. When we put that into perspective, we are walking in the expression of God’s love. It is the love walk of the Messiah to heal us.

Father, I take John 9:3 as a kingdom principal in my life. When I need healing, the first words I will speak upon awakening in the morning, will be,

“My healing is a praise to You!

I praise You by being healed in my body.

Your healing power is working in me now.

By Your stripes I am healed!”

EXPRESSIONS OF HIS LOVE

(Adapted from John 9:1-7)

Verse 1:

Old blind beggar

Go and wash thy eyes

The pool of Siloam

Victory lies

You know I guess

He was glad that day

When Jesus passed his way

The Lord said, go and tell no one

Of the things that I have done

It’s just something I can do

To express my love to you

Chorus:

An expression of His love

He bore a rugged tree

An expression of His love

He died for you and me

Rose again, ascended away

Said I’m coming back someday

And He sends healing from above

An expression of His love

Verse 2:

Five thousand, they were there that day

To learn of Jesus and His ways

You know I guess that they all knew

What this Jesus love can do

Oh just five little loaves of bread

O what a multitude He fed

They said Jesus be our king

That wasn’t the reason why

He did all those things

LOVE WANTS TO HEAL YOU / I Want To; I Will

This is the 3^rd in a series of 6 devotions with the theme of

“Divine Healing”

LOVE WANTS TO HEAL YOU
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Matthew 8:2; Luke 19:41-43)

When Jesus walked on the earth, the lepers and the blind called out to him and he healed them. Jesus still lives and is at the Father’s right hand making intercession for us, talking to our Father about us! How much more will he heal us now as intercessor beside his Father? I encourage you to believe the love that is able and available to heal you. I encourage you to believe that he wants to heal you more than you want to be healed. If you will give him a legal right by believing, he will heal you.

Lord, how can I believe? Help my unbelief! Help me to receive Your love and Your healing power.

Child, what do you want me to do for you? Receive whatever you need from me. Your faith and your trust in me will work effectively in your heart. I want to heal you and as you walk with me, you will develop confidence that this is so. Walk closely with me and receive all that you need and then bless others.

I WANTS TO, I WILL

(Adapted from Matthew 8:2; Luke 19:41-43)

Verse 1

I heard about this man

Who opens blinded eyes and they can see

And here I stand before Him,

I can’t see, but I can speak, so I say

I know that You can heal me, if You will,

And I wait

To hear these words fall upon my ear

Like the sweetest chime

Chorus

I want to, I will,

I know that You can heal me if You will,

He said, “I want to, I will”

I know that You can heal me,

I know that You can heal me, I want to, I will

Bridge 1

As long as I live, through all eternity,

I will never forget the words I spoke to Him,

And the words He spoke to me,

Playing over and over again in my head

Bridge 2

And if you doubt that it’s true,

Remember the stripes

That He bore for me and you

His actions spoke louder than words,

Falling on your ear, like the sweetest chime

THE SELFLESSNESS KEY TO DIVINE HEALING / Love Conquers All

This is the 2^nd in a series of 6 devotions with the theme of

“Divine Healing”

THE SELFLESSNESS KEY TO DIVINE HEALING
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Job 42:10; Ephesians 6:8)

The story of Job is probably the oldest key in the Bible to divine healing. His life seemed to be a disaster until the day he prayed for his friends. That day was a turning point in his life. If Job’s mind had been on himself, he would have missed the opportunity for the greatest blessing of his life. He was healed physically, emotionally and mentally because he concerned himself with the needs of others. The fate of others was more important to him than his own fate. You can read the end of Job to see how his attitude moved the heart of God. Job received double blessings for his troubles. He passed the test.

If it is healing that you need, find someone that needs healing and pray for them. If it is deliverance from a certain bondage that you need, look for someone who needs to be freed from the grips of the enemy and pray for them. If it is money or something tangible that you need, sow a tangible seed into someone’s life and then God will have a legal right to supply all your need.

Every good deed that a man does, the Lord will do the same for him.

Father, thank you for recording this old, old account of Job’s life. I believe that I can pattern my attitude after this ancient man’s attitude who passed every test. I can get the same results that he had – double for my trouble.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

(Adapted from Job 42:10; Ephesians 6:8)

Verse

Satan had some plans 
But when Job prayed for his friends,
God turn it around for Job

And he got the double for his trouble, And he got the double for his trouble

Satan has some plans 
But when you pray for your friends,
God will turn it around for you

And you’ll get the double for your trouble,
And you’ll get the double for your trouble

Chorus

Love conquers all 
So it’s time I get my mind off of myself

Love conquers all 
So I’ll do something for somebody else

I will do something for somebody else

Bridge

I will pray for my friends 
I will pray for my enemies 
I will bless those who despitefully use

And Lord You will turn it around for me 
Lord You will turn it around for me

CHECK LIST FOR HEALING / Like The Morning

This is the 1^st in a series of 6 devotions with the theme of

“Divine Healing”

CHECK  LIST FOR HEALING
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from Isaiah 58)

There is a connection between forgiveness and healing. We know that God is sovereign and his thoughts are superior to any reasoning that we may have about healing. In other words, God can heal whom He pleases, when He pleases. But are there sometimes conditions to healing? We all know people who are healed that do not seem to meet any criteria whatsoever. And we also know those who seem to have the faith to believe and yet fall short of a complete healing.

When I am in need of the healing power of God to transform the cells in my body and cause them to be aware of the blood of Jesus and respond to the authority of the cross and there seems to be something hindering that process, I can go to Isaiah 58. This Scripture serves as a check list for healing:

• Free those who are wrongly imprisoned
• Don't overwork and underpay those who work for you
• Let the oppressed go free
• Break every enslaving yoke and remove the chains that bind people
• Share your food with the hungry
• Provide shelter for the homeless
• Give clothes to those who need them
• Do not hide yourself from relatives who need your help
• Stop pointing the finger of blame at others
• Help those people who are in trouble

Isaiah said if I meet these criteria, restoration will come. If I can get my mind off of me and concern myself with this list, my light will break forth like the morning. My wounds will heal quickly and I will be led forward with the glory of God as my rear guard. The Lord will quickly answer my call and restore my strength.

It is important to understand that we do not earn healing by checking off these things. Jesus did pay a precious price for our healing. But there is a cycle of grace. We do not have faith because we have works but we have works as a result of faith. It is important that we extend to other the same grace which we have received. The forgiveness we have received is unmerited and we extend unmerited forgiveness to others and the cycle of grace continues. We receive from God and we give to others. Isaiah’s checklist helps us continue the cycle of grace.

Father, I continue in the cycle of Your grace. I make a decision today to pay attention to the checklist in Isaiah. And I thank you for the benefits of making your agenda my own.

LIKE THE MORNING

(Adapted from Isaiah 58)

Verse

Loose the bonds of wickedness

Undo the bands of the yoke

Let the oppressed go free

Break every enslaving yoke

Divide your bread with the hungry

Bring the homeless poor into your house

When you see the naked, cover them,

Hide not yourselves from your needy relatives

Chorus

Then your light break forth like the morning, like the morning

Then your healing, your restoration shall spring forth speedily

Bridge

Your justice and right standing with God 
Shall go before you,

Shall go before you

Conducting you to peace and prosperity

And the glory of the Lord 
Shall be your rear guard

ONE OF THE TEN / Thank Him

This is a special Thanksgiving Theme Devotion And Video Presentation

ONE OF THE TEN
by
Rebecca Cooley

Luke 17:12-19)

Jesus was coming! We called, “Master, have mercy on us!” We were lepers and outcasts so we didn’t get much news on the outskirts of Samaria where we lived. But we had heard that the Messiah was near and we were watching for him. I knew if I could just get close to Him, I would be made whole.

He heard us shouting and called, “Go at once and show yourselves to the priests!” I ran following the others. I could feel my skin changing even as I ran! His very words are healing me! By the time we got to the priests, we all looked at each other and couldn’t stop laughing and hugging each other. Our skin was clean! We stood for the longest time marveling over ourselves. The priests and others had many questions. But we all just wanted to go home. It had been so long since we had seen our families. I pulled back from the others and as much as wanted to go home, I wanted to see Him again, the One who had made me whole. I ran as fast as my feet would carry me.

I fell at his feet and gratitude poured out of me. I cried and thanked him. The Messiah reached down and pulled me up. “Were not there ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Get up and go on your way. Your faith has restored your health.” As I walked away, I couldn’t take my eyes off of my hands and arms. Not only were they clean but they were now whole!

Because this one leper returned with praise and thankfulness, he was given more than the other nine. The

others were healed but this one was made whole. He received back body parts that had been eaten away with the disease. When we are thankful, we get an upgrade.

Lord, I am thankful for healing, for correction, for grace and mercy, for you working powerfully in my life. I come like this leper and fall at your feet with honor and adoration at the wonder of who you are.

THANK HIM

Devotion: One of the Ten

(Luke 17:12-19)

Verse 1:

Ten lepers came to Jesus,

Their bodies racked with pain and decay

Jesus had compassion on them;

He touched them and they were cleansed

Verse 2:

The ten went on their way

And they had not gone very far

Til one of them was overwhelmed

And then looking back he left their company

He said friends, don’t you wait up for me

Chorus:

I’ve just got to go back and thank Him 
For all He’s done for me

He cleansed my body and soul 
And I know that I know

I’ve just got to go back and thank Him

Verse 2:

Jesus asked where are the other nine

Didn’t they come back with you

Then he touched him again
And not only was he cleansed

But the parts that had been missing 
Were there

He was made whole; 
He was the one who had said

Ending:

He cleansed my body and soul

He made me every wit whole

I’ve just got to go back and thank him (repeat 3 times)
