My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Anne Cetas … AT THIS LINK …   tells of an outdoorsman, named Carson, who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident; and yet experienced inner healing by some friends who took Carson out hunting again.  From this experienced Carson founded a ministry, called ”Hunt-2-Heal,” which helped paralyzed and wheel-chair bound men to find inner healing again.     

We’re all broken souls in some way, aren’t we?  And that’s why God sent His son, His Messiah, … King Jesus, … to fulfill the prophesies of the OldTestament (see Isaiah 61:1-2 and to be God’s Healer Messiah, … the One Who would heal the broken-hearted and set the captives free.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to offer up thanks and praise for Your healing and sanctifying grace, Lord.   …  Amen               .
