This Month's Devotional

---

Good morning. I’m so sorry for your loss and your pain. This kind of pain goes deeper than words can reach, but God is right here in it with you. 

God’s Promise:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18 (AMP)

There are moments in life that shake us to the core—when someone we love leaves this world, and everything feels heavier. The air feels still. The laughter feels quieter. Life itself seems to stop. And the ache runs deeper than can be expressed.

Grief has a way of showing us just how fragile this life really is. One minute, you’re laughing with a friend or walking through life with someone you love deeply. The next, you're left holding the memories, wondering how to move forward with a heart that doesn’t feel whole anymore.

If that’s where you are today, if you've just lost someone you love or are watching someone close to you grieve the loss of someone they love deeply, you’re not alone. And more importantly, you're not unseen.

God doesn’t run from our pain. He doesn’t ask us to hold it all together. He meets us right in the middle of the mess—the pain. In fact, He draws near to the brokenhearted. That means His presence doesn’t shrink back when sorrow enters the room—His presence leans in.

And in moments like these, when no human words can bring the comfort we long for, only He can give a peace that makes absolutely no sense in the natural. The kind of peace that lets you breathe again. The kind of peace that reminds you there’s more than what we see right now.

Grief may bend us, but God doesn’t let it break us.
And death is never the end for those in Christ.

There’s a promise that changes everything: this life isn’t all there is. Jesus Himself defeated death so we could live—not just one day in heaven, but now, with hope in the middle of the hurt. He gave us His Spirit as a Comforter—not in theory, but in real time. He walks with us through the valley and whispers, “I know. I’m here.”

If you're hurting today, let yourself feel it. Jesus did when Lazarus died. He wept—fully God, fully man—because love does that. But don’t stop there. Let your sorrow turn to Him. Let Him hold it. Release sorrow, regrets, and all that is painful to Him. 

Because in time, He will bring beauty from the ashes.
He will give joy again.
He will restore the places in your heart that feel like they’ll never recover.
And one day, He will wipe every tear from your eyes—with His own hand.

Tell God exactly how you're feeling right now. Let Him comfort you instead of trying to carry the weight alone? He’s a good Father. He will walk through this with you and bring you through it.

A prayer from your heart to your Father:
Father, this hurts in ways I can’t even express. I miss them. I don’t understand why, but I choose to trust You, even here. I invite You into the pain. Be close to me. Be close to my family. Thank You for being the God who doesn’t rush us through sorrow, but sits with us in it. Thank You for the promise of eternity, and for the promise that I will see them again. Until then, carry me. I need You, Lord. Amen.

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:
 

“You must continue to bring healing… Freely you have received the power of the kingdom, so freely release it to others.’” — Matthew 10:8 (TPT)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

There’s a quiet lie that tries to creep into our hearts and whisper, “Healing was for back then.” But that’s simply not what Scripture says. The same Jesus who walked the streets healing the blind, raising the dead, and delivering the oppressed is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And the command He gave His disciples in Matthew 10 wasn’t just for them—it was for all who would follow Him in faith.

Healing isn’t outdated. It didn’t retire with the apostles. It flows from the unchanging nature of God. He doesn’t heal because we deserve it or because the moment is emotionally charged. He heals because that’s who He is—Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer. The Holy Spirit hasn’t left the Church. And because He’s still here, healing is still here.

From Genesis to Revelation, healing is not a side issue—it’s core to God’s nature. When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t just heal a few people to prove a point; He healed all who came to Him in faith. Scripture says over and over that He was moved with compassion and healed their sick. That compassion didn’t die at the cross. It was magnified there.

You don’t have to wonder if healing is part of God’s plan—it is. And it’s not just for others. It’s for you. You don’t have to be a pastor, prophet, or preacher to believe it. You just have to be convinced that God is who He says He is. Healing is His idea. His gift. His flow. And that flow has never stopped.

Maybe you’ve experienced disappointment. Maybe you’ve seen someone you love suffer and felt the ache of unanswered prayer. Those moments are real, but they don’t change the Word of God. His truth is higher than our experience. And the truth is: God still heals. And He wants to. Don’t let the past define what you expect from God today. Let His Word redefine your hope.

You were made to walk in healing. To receive it. To release it. To become a vessel where healing flows freely, just like Jesus intended. So ask again. Believe again. Lay hands again. Expect again. Because healing still flows, and it’s flowing toward you.

Declaration:

God, You are my Healer. I believe that healing is still flowing today, and I receive it as part of my inheritance in Christ. I will not be passive. I will step out in faith, believing Your will is to heal and restore.

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:
 

“He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross... for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed.’”  

— 1 Peter 2:24 (AMP)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

We don’t need to convince God to heal. He already convinced us—on the cross. When Jesus stretched out His arms and bore the weight of our sin, He also carried our sickness, disease, and torment. Healing isn’t something we’re waiting for Him to do. It’s something He already finished.

Isaiah 53:5 says, 'The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.' That wasn’t poetic language—it was prophetic declaration. Every lash Jesus took on His back was payment in full for the healing of our bodies, minds, and spirits. When He said, 'It is finished,' He didn’t just mean the forgiveness of sin—He meant the total restoration of mankind.

Healing isn’t a bonus feature or side blessing. It’s woven into the very fabric of redemption. Jesus didn’t separate forgiveness and healing. Neither should we. Psalm 103 tells us to bless the Lord who 'forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.' Both flow from the same source—the finished work of the cross.

But here’s where many believers get stuck: we treat healing as a maybe instead of a done deal. We base our expectation on past experiences instead of eternal truth. We hope God will heal us, when we should be standing on the fact that He already has. Faith doesn’t deny pain or diagnosis—it simply refuses to let them be the final word.

If Jesus paid for it, then it’s already yours. You don’t have to earn healing. You don’t have to perform or strive or beg. You just have to receive. Faith takes what grace has provided. The cross was enough. The blood was enough. The stripes were enough. Let the cross settle it in your heart.

Today, stop wrestling with whether or not God wants you well. He already showed you His will on the cross. Rest in that finished work. Speak from it. Pray from it. Worship from it. And when doubt whispers, 'What if He doesn’t?'—answer boldly, 'He already did.' The healing is finished. The receipt is written. The Cross settled it.

Declaration:

Thank You, Jesus, for paying for my healing. I don’t have to earn it or beg for it — I receive it by grace through faith. Your finished work is more than enough.

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:
 

“ I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart [in God’s unlimited power], but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him [in accordance with God’s will].”— Mark 11:23 (AMP)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

 Jesus didn’t tell us to pray about the mountain. He told us to speak to it. That’s a big difference. Too often, we approach healing like a wish list—we’re asking God to do what He’s already given us the authority to do. Mountains don’t move because we beg. They move because we believe and speak.

When Jesus healed people, He didn’t say, “Father, if it’s Your will, heal this man.” No—He commanded healing. He told the sick to rise, the blind to see, the dead to come forth. He spoke, and creation obeyed. Why? Because His words were saturated with authority. And now, as His body on the earth, He has entrusted that same authority to us.

Mark 11:23 is not a metaphor. It’s a kingdom principle. Faith doesn’t just hope. It speaks. It declares the end from the beginning. It sees the unseen and calls it done. It doesn’t describe the mountain—it moves it.

So what’s your mountain today? Is it pain? Chronic sickness? A diagnosis? A spiritual block? Stop rehearsing it and start addressing it. Stop analyzing and start commanding. Your authority isn’t in volume or emotion—it’s in knowing who backs your voice. Heaven responds to bold faith.

This doesn’t mean we speak out of arrogance. It means we speak from alignment. When you declare the will of God with your mouth—when you speak healing, wholeness, and restoration with unwavering faith—you are echoing the heart of heaven.

There’s a time to pray. But there’s also a time to speak. To declare. To command. Jesus said you could speak to the mountain. He didn’t say the pastor had to. He didn’t say only apostles could. He said *anyone*—that includes you.

Faith speaks. Mountains move. And God is faithful to watch over His Word and perform it. So speak with confidence. Don’t back down. Don’t second-guess. Use the authority Jesus gave you.

Your words matter. They’re not powerless—they’re loaded with the authority of the One who sent you. Healing is voice-activated. And your voice was made to command mountains to move.

Declaration:

I will no longer speak fear or doubt. I will speak the Word. I command healing, restoration, and breakthrough in Jesus’ name. This mountain must move.

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:
 

“ Nevertheless, I will heal them, restore them, and give them prosperity and lasting peace.” – Jeremiah 33:6 (TPT) 

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

 God’s titles give us assurances of what we can get from Him. For example, one of His titles is found in Exodus 15:26 where He said, “…I am the Lord that healeth thee.” This gives believers an assurance that no matter how terrible a sickness is, Jehovah Rapha can heal them.

Medical doctors have different areas of specialization, and it is standard practice for a doctor to refer patients to other doctors who are considered more knowledgeable and qualified to handle certain ailments. This was what happened to the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. Doctors kept referring her to other doctors until she had spent all that she had. One day, however, she came in contact with the Great Physician – the One who never refers a case – and that day, she got her healing.

Jesus Christ secured your healing when he was severely beaten and crucified (Isaiah 53:5). He took the stripes from the Roman soldiers so that you can confidently say that sickness and pain have no place in your body. He took your infirmities with Him to the grave; this means that they are gone forever.

Henceforth, I want you to know God as the God that heals you. When you read passages like Matthew 8:16 or Luke 6:19, you will see that Jesus Christ healed ALL that came to Him. There was no sickness that was difficult for Him to heal, and there was no person with too many sicknesses that He couldn’t heal. If you have been dealing with any sickness or disease in your body, approach the Great Physician, He will surely heal you completely.

Declaration: 

I declare today that the Lord is my Healer—Jehovah Rapha! By the stripes of Jesus, I am healed, restored, and made whole. Sickness, pain, and affliction have no place in my body. I receive divine health, lasting peace, and supernatural restoration. I walk in the healing power of God, and I am a vessel of healing to others. From this day forward, I live in the fullness of health and wholeness, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:
 

    “Listen carefully: I have given you authority… over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will [in any way] harm you.” — Luke 10:19 (AMP)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

You were never meant to live life at the mercy of your circumstances. As a child of God, you have been born into a Kingdom where authority is your inheritance—not something you earn, but something you receive. Healing isn’t just a desperate cry for help; it’s a bold declaration of the authority Jesus has given you.

When Jesus sent out His disciples, He didn’t tell them to beg for healing—He told them to release it. He spoke with power and simplicity: “Be healed,” “Come out,” “Rise and walk.” He gave that same authority to all who believe. If you are in Christ, His victory is now your victory. You are seated with Him—right now—far above every work of the enemy (Ephesians 2:6).

Healing flows through those who understand their position. You’re not trying to gain authority—you already have it. The only weapon the enemy has left is deception: to convince you that you’re powerless when you’re not.

Your words carry weight. Your prayers carry power. Your hands are vessels of healing because Jesus lives in you. Whether it’s sickness, fear, or oppression, you don’t have to tolerate what Jesus already defeated. You’ve been given authority to command it to leave in Jesus’ name.

Healing is not just for the pulpit—it’s for everyday life. When symptoms show up, speak against them. When fear tries to rise, cast it down. When sickness comes near your family, take your stand. Authority isn’t just for ministry moments—it’s for daily victory.

The devil doesn’t flee because you cry louder. He flees because you know who you are and you refuse to back down.

You are not a victim. You are victorious. Healing flows through you. Use your authority—Jesus already gave it.

DECLARATION:

Jesus, thank You for giving me Your authority. I am not powerless. I am not a victim. I am a victorious child of God. I speak boldly. I command sickness to leave. I declare life, healing, and freedom wherever I go. I stand in the victory of Christ, and no weapon formed against me will prosper.

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:
 

    “ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

You obey God. You step out in faith. You pray, you declare, you lay hands—and then, nothing seems to happen. No change. No breakthrough. No visible result. It’s a moment every believer face: when obedience and outcome feel miles apart.

But here’s the truth:

Obedience is never wasted.

Faith is never powerless.

And silence never means absence.

Just because you don’t see movement doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Faith was never meant to rely on sight—it’s rooted in the unseen. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is a conviction of reality, even when your senses say otherwise. When you step out, you’re not gambling—you’re planting. And seeds don’t always sprout overnight.

Jesus taught that the Kingdom operates like a seed—hidden at first, but always alive and working (Mark 4:26–29). Healing works the same way. Sometimes the fruit appears instantly; other times, roots are being established underground. But either way, God’s Word is at work.

When nothing seems to happen, something is happening.

Don’t let discouragement become doctrine. Don’t let delay redefine what you know is true. Galatians 6:9 promises a harvest—if you don’t quit. The enemy wants you to believe, “It didn’t work.” But that’s a lie. You’re not testing God—you’re enforcing His victory. His Word still stands: “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:18).

You are not failing. You are sowing.

You are not overlooked. You are partnered with heaven.

And every act of obedience is a punch in the face of darkness.

Keep going. Keep declaring. Keep standing.

Because healing flows through the faithful—not the flashy.

You’re not just hoping. You’re enforcing the covenant of a victorious God.

And you’re still dangerous to hell.

DECLARATION:

Lord, even when I don’t see immediate results, I trust that Your Word is working. I will not quit. I will not back down. I walk by faith, not by sight. I declare that healing is flowing, seeds are growing, and Your promises will come to pass. I am a faithful warrior—and I’m still a threat to the kingdom of darkness.

I love you all,

Tim

SCRIPTURE:      

“So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].’” — James 2:17 (AMP)

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (KJV)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

There’s a quiet temptation to reduce faith to thoughts and feelings—something private, quiet, and inactive. But true, living faith was never meant to sit still. It speaks. It moves. It acts.

Scripture makes it clear: Faith without action is dead (James 2:17). Dead faith doesn't heal the sick or move mountains—it waits in silence. But living faith gets up, speaks the Word, and steps into the promise, even when nothing looks possible.

Real faith doesn’t just believe quietly—it declares boldly. It doesn’t magnify the problem—it magnifies the promise. And when you speak what God has spoken, you release heaven’s power on earth. In Mark 2, four friends tore open a roof to bring someone to Jesus. That’s what living faith looks like—it breaks through barriers and refuses to stop short of a miracle. Faith moves even when the way looks blocked.

You don’t need to feel powerful to walk in faith. You just need to trust the One who is. Faith isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about moving because Jesus already made the way at the cross.

So don’t settle for silent belief. Let your faith speak. Let it move. Let it act. Because when faith is released, mountains move—and heaven responds.

Declaration:

Father, I believe Your Word. I choose living faith—faith that speaks, faith that moves, faith that acts. I will not be silent or passive. I will speak boldly, move courageously, and trust completely. Because Jesus finished the work, I move forward in victory. Amen.

I love you all,

Tim
