You know what heals people total mind, body, and soul. You do, you have the power to heal humanity by your outlook on them. This sparked in me as we discussed and commented in another thread. You know what heals the world, when you see them in their creation. You see them as they are "in the image and likeness of God." You see them as God created them with the potential to have Christ live in them and be expressed through their life.
You know what heals believers, you do, when you can look beyond all the differences and see Christ in them they get healed. You won't need an alter call, a prayer meeting, or even fast and pray. People get healed when they can be themselves. Ever wonder about this internet business, what is it that makes us say and handle each other the way we do. We can be ourselves, no facades, the real deal. What you get is me, I can let my hair down and just be me. Sure it may not be pretty at times but point is you can be you without having to do something to be yourself.
That is the way it should be everyday in life, you be you. Don't be me, don't even be Jesus of Nazareth, be you. Now we have another life in us and should be mindful of that.
Some say "well you just don't know me, I need rules and laws to help me." Ok then you still have not seen Christ as your life. That's ok, but until you do your right, you probably will need some guidance for living. This is the way Paul put it "I beat my body into submission," why would you want to do that. Because you need to, one way or another you will come into where your father is leading, in growth and maturity, make it easy on yourself. People believe grace is a play thing, those that believe that are not living by grace. In law you are always repenting, pleading for forgiveness, no growth.
In grace you know what is right and have no excuse and nothing to fall back on, so you either live it or you miserable fail your father. And of coarse we ask for forgiveness but it's different for the on going believers with knowledge. There is no game played, it is based on love, but at times the correction is more severe than an all out backslider. What is a backslider? You will have to answer that.
