Romans 8:15 For You Did Not Receive A Spirit That Makes You A Slave Again To Fear, But You Received The Spirit Of Sonship. And By Him We Cry, "Abba, Father."

Pain makes us fearful. Pain makes a slave to the fear our pain will destroy us. When pain comes so does fear. Under the power of Christ's love and grace, we are made free from the fear associated with pain. With Christ's power of love and grace, we are made free of our fear. In Heaven, we shall have no fear. In Heaven, we shall be free and free indeed. Even now, we can look up and in humility through love, see Christ reaching out to us. When we look up and see Him, we cry "Abba, Father."

Romans 15:13 May The God Of Hope Fill You With All Joy And Peace As You Trust In Him, So That You May Overflow With Hope By The Power Of The Holy Spirit.

In pain you need joy. In pain you need peace. Although you need joy and peace in your pain, joy and peace can seem far, far, away when you hurt. Pain kills joy. Pain kills peace. The power of Satan or satanic evil brings the pain to kill joy and peace within you. What are you to do? You are to trust in God. Trust in Him so you will overflow with hope brought to you by the power of the Holy Spirit. Do you see the war between the darkness and the Light here? Satan is trying to kill your joy and peace using Satan's weapon of pain while the Lord brings you victory through overflowing hope.

When you hurt look up to Christ Jesus. At some point in the future, your joy and peace will make your hurt go away.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself Testifies With Our Spirit That We Are God's Children.

When we hurt we are reduced down not of our own decision. When we hurt we need to know we are God's child. Pain makes us feel weak and too often helpless. However, we have the all powerful Father who really is our Father. When we hurt, we can look up to Him. When we hurt, we can have no fear because He is with us.

When we hurt and we want to quit…He tells us to keep going...because He is our Father.
When we hurt and we want to stop…He tells us "not this time" because He is our Father.
When we hurt and we fall down He picks us up…because He is our Father.

John 14:16 And I Will Ask The Father, And He Will Give You Another Counselor To Be With You Forever 17 The Spirit Of Truth. The World Cannot Accept Him, Because It Neither Sees Him Nor Knows Him. But You Know Him, For He Lives With You And Will Be In You.

The verse above is one of the most powerful verses in scripture. The verse above is THE most powerful verse in scripture for those of us who hurt. What the Lord is telling us is we will never be alone at any time ever. The power of God is with us forever. The love of God is with us forever. The healing force of God is with us forever now but more so when we cross over from our present life to our life in heaven. We must worship, live, and have our being in the power of His presence. The power of His presence is the reality of our Counselor who is now and who will always be with us forever.

Col. 3:16 Let The Word Of Christ Dwell In You Richly As You Teach And Admonish One Another With All Wisdom, And As You Sing Psalms, Hymns And Spiritual Songs With Gratitude In Your Hearts To God.

Even when you are devastated in pain, you can still have the indwelling love of God in your life. You may not have an overwhelming love of God all the time. You may have only tiny inklings of His love in your pain. However, you must live a determined life to keep going and keep praising Him. If you love Him now, if you have loved Him in the past, you have blessings to count. With your blessings to count, you have gratitude in your heart. Even when Christ pulls you forward through your pain, or even when Christ pushes you forward in your pain, your heart can still be touched or filled with gratitude. Gratitude brings happiness, even whey you hurt. Impossible? Happiness in your pain is not impossible for just a mortal human. Happiness is indeed possible for just a mortal human when you take on the cloak of immortality in Christ's power, love, and grace.

Ephes. 4:2 Be Completely Humble And Gentle; Be Patient, Bearing With One Another In Love.

When you hurt you are not patient. When you hurt you are not gentle because the pain destroys so much of your heart and soul. When you hurt you turn selfish and bearing with one another can seem to be an impossible burden. So what do you do when you hurt? You are to do as the Lord tells you to do. Let the pain make you more humble. Let the pain make you gentler than in the past. Go against your hurting heart, mind, soul, and body to be more patient. When you hurt, even if bearing another's burdens makes you hurt more, help others carry their burdens. Do all these things, even in your pain, and the Lord Jesus will bless you and keep you in greater measure now and in eternity. You will see Him. You will hear Him. In eternity you will live with His joy and peace in real time in a place where time is no more. In His eternity the impossible is the reality…His reality becomes your reality. In you and through you, peace, love, and joy shall abound forever.

John 15:7 If You Remain In Me And My Words Remain In You, Ask Whatever You Wish, And It Will Be Given You.

Question: OK, if these words are true, and I've given my life and soul over to Christ, and I have remained in Him by being faithful, why am I still in pain? Why am I still sick? Why has healing not come to me?

Answer: The game is not over yet. There is more time to put in. There is more work for you to do. I know these are hard words to accept. These are seemingly impossible words to accept. To try and accept these words, do all you can to let His love live within you. His words in you are the same as His love within you. Before you pray today, rest for awhile and let His love pour over you. Let His love sink in and become a part of you. Remember, some day soon, we know not exactly when, you shall live for eternity in Him and your pain will never come back.
