Shalom,

I love reading through the Bible every year with our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! You can follow along on our website, or order your own. Today I want to share a few of the verses that stand out to me this time through! Psalm 55:22-23:

22 Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). 23 But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in, lean on, and confidently rely on You.

THIS is a PROMISE to us! Count on it! Count on HIM! Mark 5:24-29:

24 And Jesus went with him; and a great crowd kept following Him and pressed Him from all sides [so as almost to suffocate Him]. 25 And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 And who had endured much suffering under [the hands of] many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was no better but instead grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports concerning Jesus, and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment, 28 For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health. 29 And immediately her flow of blood was dried up at the source, and [suddenly] she felt in her body that she was healed of her [distressing] ailment.

This woman was expected to stay away from people, and when she came near people was expected to yell: "UNCLEAN" so others would stay away from her. Her faith in what JESUS could, and would, do was so strong that she made her way into the middle of this crowd of people who "pressed Him from all sides" until she could touch his clothes! She believed! She SAID! She DID! She RECEIVED! Then this happened:

33 But the woman, knowing what had been done for her, though alarmed and frightened and trembling, fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your [distressing bodily] disease.

HALLELUJAH! NEVER allow fear, which is a spirit, an evil spirit, to keep YOU from acting on God's Word! When we speak HIS WORD, HE will confirm it with signs, wonders and miracles! Mark 16:20:

20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).

AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":

Shalom in Him!
