Day twenty eight: the Balm of Gilead

I woke up with a song by Jerry K on my heart. The title of the song is "The Air I Breathe".

There is a part of the Song that mentions the "Balm of Gilead".

I have heard this so many times from Mother Juanita Bynum but I never knew what it was.

So today, I decided to search the Scriptures and I came across Jeremiah 8:22 and the further referral to Our Lord, Jesus Christ and He being Th Balm of Gilead.
"Jesus Christ Is the cure to the malignancy of our souls"
Now, I get to sing this song by revelation of what the Scriptures say about Him.

In school today, I had a terrible headache.
It was the kind of headache that produced pain even at a mere shaking of the head.
Initially I thought I needed water and so I took a lot of it when I returned home. Later, I figured it was hunger and I got something to eat...even worse.

As I laid down on my parents' bed, Holy Spirit brought to mind what I had read in the morning on the Balm of Gilead. Holy Spirit taught me that morning that Jesus not only Is the Balm but He also Is the Physician.

I laid down with my hand on my head and I began to pray.
I spoke Scriptures and I engaged what Holy Spirit had taught me that morning.

Afterwards, I slept.

I woke up not long ago to find my headache completely gone.
I have shaken my head severally and there is no single trace of headache or pain.

To God be the Glory !!!

I look forward to finding Jesus Christ in the Scriptures and even more so, I believe in Holy Spirit's leading to guide me along the various tests to follow.

To God be the Glory !!!

I pray you have a thirst for knowledge of the Scriptures and I so pray that the Spirit of Wisdom becomes your Friend too.

Best regards,
Sharing Life.

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher. It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on. Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me. And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth. After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times. I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs". I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit. Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...
