Divine Healing
At Word of Life, from the very beginning, we’ve been committed to becoming a safe place where people, real people, can talk about real problems, real hurts, real hang-ups, real habits, and not be blown away by judgment; but that we are a family of fellow strugglers. There’s not one person that has it all together. We’re all weak in different areas. We need each other and we need Jesus Christ.
If you have been hurt, God says “I want to heal you.”
If you’re confused, “I want to lead you.”
If you’ve ever felt you were helpless to change anything, “I want to help you change that.”
If you’ve ever felt no one understands your problem, “I want to comfort you.”
If you feel anxious and worried and afraid, “I want to offer peace to you.”
The Bible says, “All have sinned.” That means none of us are perfect, we’ve all blown it, we’ve all made mistakes. We hurt and we hurt others.
“I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway. I will lead them and comfort those who mourn, bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace both near and far,” says the Lord, who heals them. Isaiah 57:18-19 (NLT)
The good news is this: regardless of the problem you need recovery from, whether it’s emotional, financial, relational, spiritual, sexual or whatever, regardless of what you need recovery from, the steps to recovery are always the same.
They are always the same.
The principles for recovery are found in the Bible. It’s the original recovery manual. In 1935 a couple of guys formulated, based on the Scriptures, what are now known as the classic 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and used by hundreds of other recovery groups. Twenty million Americans are in a recovery group every week and there are 500,000 different recovery groups. The basis is God’s Word.
