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...

3 Things I Admire About King David

Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1. King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
