Life is good and a gift from above but going through times of wounding, tribulation, and recovery is part of the human journey. We need to continuously seek God's healing presence and grace.

2. PSALM 103: 1- 5, MSG –
“A GOOD LIFE WITH GOD”
“O my soul, bless GOD.
From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless GOD,
don’t forget a single blessing!
He forgives your sins—every one.
He heals your diseases—every one.
He redeems you from hell—saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal.
He renews your youth—you’re always young in his
presence”.

3. REFLECTIONS OF A WISE ELDER
Bob Whitaker (age 82): “You need to continue to seek healing your
entire life”.
Why? Because life is good, but it is normal for there to be troubles and
wounding along the way.
Therefore since physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual troubles
come throughout our lives, healing is always needed.
It is obvious the body is always healing itself (immune system, recovery
from cuts, bruises, injuries, etc). What about the soul?

4. FROM WHERE DOES HEALING COME?
The presence of the Holy Spirit within –
The blessings of common grace
(medicine, etc)
Grace-based relationships (Christian
community, counseling, friendships, etc)
Direct interventions of specific grace
(God’s sovereign impartations)
ALL are of grace!

5. FIVE ASPECTS OF HEALING
• REMOVAL of that which harms or injures
• REPAIR of the damage we sustain
• RESTORATION of what has been lost or taken
by injury
• REDEMPTION of suffering – turned for good!
• REVELATION of the surpassing value of
knowing God
