Pain can awaken a profound sense of meaning and purpose. My brothers and sisters, finding purpose in pain is an essential part of healing. You may never understand “why” such pain accrued; indeed, the randomness of life can be maddening. But deciding how you choose to live despite your painful experience is critically essential to living a life through the spectrum of God’s purpose.
Approximately 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ willingly bore incomprehensible pain for all of us and as believers we have the benefit of forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and eternal salvation, which was God’s purpose behind Christ’s pain. John 9:1-3 and 11:1-4 record Christ’s testimony that suffering can come to us so that God might ultimately be glorified through us!
I whole heartedly believe purpose is always somewhere within the pain of our suffering. That purpose may not be particularly obvious or even a purpose directed at us, although it very well can be. But that purpose can also be a living and learning message from God through us to others.
One point God’s word readily makes — beginning in Genesis and continuing through Revelation — is that ever since the beginning, God has been continuously speaking and acting with purpose toward mankind.
Beloved of God, I am sending each you an invitation to examine yourself this day, confirm any pain or suffering you find, question God if you must, but know He has a purpose planted in you that proclaims His expressed confidence that you can bear the burden He has brought or allowed to be brought to you. Pray for his guidance. Read His glorious word. Watch long and closely: Revelation and confirmation is not always immediate and obvious. If you need help, find a Bible-Christ preaching-and-teaching church where you can learn more about the presence of God’s purpose in your life. Some suffering may include pain, but all suffering comes equipped with God’s purpose!
“This is what the Lord says, He who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it — the Lord is His name: Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:2-3.)
This is a count it all joy kinda day (James 1:2), but I am confident that God is able to cause all things to work together for His glory (Rom 8:28) and through His unyielding grace our good!
Make no mistake, we as true believers are eternally secure in His salvation, but it’s our faith that perseveres in affliction, sickness, persecution, and every other trial of life that befall all believers. If we desire to live godly lives in Christ, we will suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12), but the faithful will persevere, kept by the power of the Holy Spirit who is the guarantee of our salvation and who will keep us “strong to the end,” persevering so we will be “blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:8).
“Der Liebe Gott Steckt” is an approximately 300 year old German proverb which means, “God is in the details.” Unfortunately, in 1990 this German proverb was incorrectly translated into the English vernacular to mean, “The devil is in the details.”
It’s truly unfortunate how culture has the power to adversely change spiritual rhetoric that glorifies God.
Partial truths is one of the most deadliest lies to every tell because it contains enough truth to make it believable. But it’s still a lie! Absolute truth is what Francis Schaeffer used to call “true Truth.” Not just truth for you or truth for me, but absolute truth whether you or I believe it or like it. Now one of the powerful things about our day is that a lot of very influential people, and millions of very influenced people don’t believe there is such a thing.
It’s no secret that the body of Christ aka the church has been fighting a war against culture driven ideology. However, we must never forget that it’s not just about our truth or truth for us, but “THE truth.” True truth. Truth that will be true whether we or anyone else believes it or likes it. Paul precisely strikes the nail on the head in Romans 1:25 when he said, “They exchanged the truth of God [notice the phrase!] for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” He says in verse 18 that men “suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”
The Bible says, that, except for the gracious work of the Holy Spirit, our hearts always tilt one way: we suppress the ultimate objective truth outside ourselves and we choose to create our own. This is ultimately why the God of the Bible is rejected. If He exists, He is absolute Truth and we must yield to Him, and define good and bad, right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, true and false, wise and foolish, and our very selves according to Him and not according to us. God is the measure of all things, not man’s twisted, diluted, and destructive rhetoric.

Prayer 7 (END OF SERIES):
Father God, forasmuch then as my nature is of flesh and blood, You, Jesus, Yourself likewise took part of the same; that through death You destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and delivered me from the bondage of the fear of death.
Neither sin or sickness have dominion over me; for I am not under the law, but under grace.
Your word, Lord, goes forth out of Your mouth and does not return unto You void, but it accomplishes that which You purposed, and it prospers in the thing whereto You sent it. You sent Your word and I believed each letter; every consonant, vowel,and punctuation and they healed me.
I hold fast the confession of my faith without wavering: for You, Lord, are faithful. I know call in to physical manifestation every promise bequeathed to me in the name Of Jesus!
I do not discard my confidence and boldness,which has great reward, for I have patience, having done Your will, my Father, that I receive the promise.
Through the communication of my mouth and meditation of my heart, faith is effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in me in Christ Jesus.
I overcame Satan and his demons by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of my testimony. And I believe that I AM healed, delivered and set free! At this moment, I move from prayer to PRAISE and I give GOD all the glory in CHRIST JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT! HALLEJUAH!! HALLELUJAH!!! HALLEJUAH!! In Jesus magnificent and transformative name, amen and amen!

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle’s flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it… Dad

Prayer 6 (continuation):
Father God, I, being born of You, God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even my faith. Who am I that overcometh the world, but I that believeth that You, Jesus, are the Son of God?
I know that I am the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in me.
I am of God, and am an overcomer because greater are You that is in me, than he that is in the world.
Since the Spirit of You, God, that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in me, You that raised up Christ from the dead also quickens my mortal body by Your Spirit that dwells in me.
For it is You, God, which worketh in me to both will and do Your good pleasure.
I submit myself therefore to You, God. I resist the devil, and he flees from me. For God hath not given me the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Hallelujah, forasmuch then as my nature is of flesh and blood, You, Jesus, Yourself likewise took part of the same; that through death You destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and delivered me from the bondage of the fear of death. Death lost it’s sting, sickness lost it’s grip and sin no long have dominion over me; for I am not under the law, but under grace and it’s by grace that I am able to proclaim this healing victory over ever square inch of my body, mind, soul, and spirit! In Jesus is able to do exceedingly and abundantly name, amen and amen!!

Prayer 5 (continuation):
Father God, I obey my parents in the Lord: for this is right. I honor my father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with me, and I will live long on the earth.
You, Jesus Christ, are the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
You gave me power to heal all manner of sickness, infirmities, and all manner of disease.
Verily, verily, You, Lord, say unto me, because I believeth on You, the works that You do, I do also; and greater works than these I do because You, Lord, went unto Your Father. Whatsoever I ask in Your name, Lord, that You will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Whatsoever I ask in Your name, Jesus, You will do it. Because I love You, Lord, I keep Your commandments and more importantly You followed through and allowed the will of God to be done when you hung, bled, died, and 3 days later you rose from the grave in order to reconcile all of humanity.
Because I reverence (fear) Your name, Jesus, shall You, the Son of righteousness, arise with healing in Your wings; and I go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Whatsoever I ask the Father in Your name, Jesus, You give to me. Anything I ask in Your name, I receive, that my joy is full.
You, Jesus, say unto me, that if two of us agree on earth as touching anything that we ask, it shall be done for us by Your Father which is in heaven.
And Jesus answering saith unto me, “Have faith in God.” For verily You say unto me, “That if I say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and not doubt in my heart, but believe that those things which I saith comes to pass; I have whatsoever I saith.”
You, Jesus, say unto me, “What things soever I desire, when I pray (ask God for), I believe (100%) that I receive them (in the Spiritual realm with praise, gratitude and patience), and I have them (manifested in the physical realm).
When I stand praying, I forgive, if I have ought against any, that my Father also which is in heaven forgives me my trespasses. If I do not forgive, neither will my Father, which is heaven, forgive my trespasses.
My faith comes by hearing and hearing (and hearing and hearing and hearing), by the word of God. Hallelujah!!
I fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life, whereunto I am also called, and have said a good confession before many witnesses.
Without faith it is impossible to please You; for when I cometh to You, God, I believe that You exist, and that You are rewarding me because I earnestly seek You and seek you I will continue to do because every battle belongs to You! Father God, the last time I checked Your recorded is still undefeated! In JESUS name who is the undisputed and undefeated Heavy Weight Champion of the world (known and unknown)….HALLEJUAH AND GLORY TO GOD; amen and amen!

Prayer 4 (continuation):
Father God, If those, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto their children, how much more You which are in heaven have given good things to me who asks You?
Surely You, Jesus, bore my griefs, and carried my sorrows [literal Hebrew: Surely, He lifted, carried, or bore my sicknesses or diseases and my pain]: yet the world did esteem You stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But You were wounded for my transgressions, You were bruised for my iniquities: the punishment which brought me my healing was upon You; and by Your stripes I am healed.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “Jesus, took my infirmities, and bore my sicknesses.”
I lay hands on the sick including myself, and I will undoubtedly recover.
Who Your own self bore my sins in Your own body on the tree, that I, being dead to sins, now live unto righteousness: and by Your stripes I am completely healed, delivered and set free!!
Jesus Christ, You have redeemed me from the curse of the law, being made a curse for me: for it is written, “Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: And the blessing of Abraham came on me through Jesus Christ; and I received the promise of the Spirit through faith.…”
I am in and belong to You, Christ, Abraham’s seed, and heir according to the promise.
I give thanks unto You, Father, who has made me partaker in the inheritance of the saints in light: You, God, have delivered me from the power of darkness, and have translated me into the kingdom of Your dear Son, in Whom I have redemption through Your blood, Jesus, even the forgiveness of everyone of my past, present and future sins.
I am complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. Having disarmed principalities and powers, You made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Hallelujah!!!
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by Your own blood, Jesus, You entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for me.
For I am a member of Your body, Jesus, of Your flesh, and of Your bones.
And the very God of peace sanctifies me wholly and entirely; and I declare God, my whole spirit, soul, mind, and body is preserved blameless unto Your coming.
You, Lord, ransomed me from the power of the grave. You redeemed me from death: You, Jesus, took the plague of death and disease. You, Jesus, destroyed my grave and washed me white as snow.
I honour my father and my mother that my days are long upon the land which the Lord my God gave me.
I walk in all the ways which You, my Lord and God, commanded me, that I may live, and that it is well with my soul, and that my days are prolonged in the land which I possess.
My days are multiplied, and the days of my children, in the land which You, Lord, swore unto my fathers to give me, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
I, like David, will die in a good old age, full of days, riches, honour and health.
I shall come to my grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in its season.
Because my strength endures with You, Lord, my days are at least 80+years.
No evil shall befall me, neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling. For You, Lord, gave Your angels charge over me, and keeps me in all my ways. Your angels bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone. You tread upon the lion and the cobra; the young lion and the serpent You trample underfoot.
You, Lord, set Your love upon me, and You deliver me: You set me on high, because You know my name and you called me by name. Jehovah Rapha, I now call upon You, Lord, and You answer me. You are with me in trouble; You deliver me and honor me. With long life You satisfy me, and show me my salvation.
I forget not Your law, Father, and my heart keeps Your commandments for length of days, and long life, and peace, Your commandments add to me.
For by You, Lord, my days are multiplied, and the years of my life are increased.
I will not die before my time.
I wait (serve as a waiter in a restaurant) on You, Lord, renew my strength; I mount up with wings as eagles; I run, and am not weary; and I walk, and do not faint. I submit this petition of prayer and praise to O God and I thank You in advance for moving mountains and removing obstacles in order to bring everything I’ve asked for to past!! In Jesus’ life preserving and restoring name, amen and amen!

Prayer 3 (continuation):
O’God there is none like You in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto me Your servant, that walks before You with all my heart.
For Your eyes, Lord, run to and fro throughout the whole earth, and show Yourself strong on behalf of me because my heart is perfect toward You.
Lord, You are gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. Lord, You are good to me: and Your tender mercies are over all Your works.
Touching You Almighty, You are excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: You do not afflict me.
That Your way may be known upon the earth. Your saving health is known to me.
You brought me forth also with silver and gold: and I am not feeble.
Lord, You forgave all my iniquities; and healed all my diseases.
Lord, You healed my broken heart, and bound up my wounds.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
O Lord my God, I cried unto You and You healed me.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but Lord, You delivered me out of them all.
The Lord strengthened me upon my bed of languishing.
I hope in You, God: I praise You, Lord, the health of my countenance, and my God. In Jesus name, amen!

Prayer 2 (continuation):
Behold, You, God, brought me health and cure, and You cured me, and revealed unto me the abundance of peace and truth.
Father God, You called heaven and earth to record this day about me, that You have set before me life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore, I choose life, that both I and my seed may live. I love You, God, and I obey Your voice, and I cleave unto You: for You are my life, and the length of my days: and I dwell in the health and prosperity which You swore unto my fathers….
Father God, I chose to walk in Your statutes, and keep Your commandments, and do them and You have respect unto me, and make me fruitful, and multiply me and establish Your covenant of life, health and abundance with me.
Then Your light breaks forth as the morning, and my health has sprung forth speedily: and my righteousness goes before me; Your glory, favor, grace, mercy, healing, and victory is my reward.
So Abraham prayed unto You: and You healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bore children. You are not a respecter of persons, so You have already healed me too.
And You hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, “I have heard your prayer and have seen your tears: behold, I have already healed You.” I believe it and receive it in the mighty name of Jesus Christ my King, Lord, and Healer, amen and amen!!
