In Your Quiet Time

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and have give to us the ministry of reconciliation.

                                            2 Corinthians 5:18

 

 

Ten steps to healing

 

1.)  Having a right relationship with God.

              

            Romans 5:1 For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

            Deuteronomy 6:1 Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:

 

             2 Corinthians 5:17 So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

 

2.)  Obedience to God's word

           

            Joshua 1:6-7  Take heart and be strong; for you will give to this people for their heritage the land which I gave by an oath to their fathers.

7  Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.

 

                      Deuteronomy 27:10  For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.

 

            John 13:34  I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

 

 

3.)  Listening and speaking the truth in Love

                    

             Ephesians 4:15 But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

 

            Ephesians 4:25- 29  And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

26  Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

27  And do not give way to the Evil One.

28  Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

29  Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

 

            James 1:19  You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

 

4.)  Yield not to temptation

                       

            1 Corinthians 10:13 You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out

                       

             James 1:12-14 There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God’s approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

13 ¶ Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

14  But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

 

            Jude: 24   Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to give you a place in his glory, free from all evil, with great joy,

 

 

5.)  Submission to God and others

                       

            Ephesians 5:21 Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.

        

            James 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

            1 Peter 2:13–16  Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,

14  And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.

15  Because it is God’s pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:

16  As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

 

 

6.)  Patience through Prayer

                       

            Matthew 21:22  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

            Romans 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

 

            Ephesians 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

              

 

7.)  Identifying the Problem

 

             Ephesians 6:12  For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.

 

            Matthew 7:1-2  Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged.

For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to                  you.

 

            Romans 3:23  For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

 

 

8.)  Responding by Faith

 

            2 Corinthians 5:7  For we are walking by faith, not by seeing

           

            Romans 1:17  For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

           

            Ephesians 6:16  And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

 

9.)  Impossibilities to Possibilities

 

            Matthew 17: 20-21  nd Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

21  Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

 

            Matthew 19:26  And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

 

            Luke 18:27   But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.

 

 

10.) Trusting in God

 

            Proverbs 3:5-7  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

 

            Psalms 37:40  And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

 

            Isaiah 40:28-31   Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. {renew: Heb. change}

 

Philippians 4:8-9  For the rest, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things have honour, whatever things are upright, whatever things are holy, whatever things are beautiful, whatever things are of value, if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, give thought to these things.

9  The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.
