MENDING PARABLE 11/09/07 

Both my husband and I are intercessors and we both have different gifts that we carry according to God’s leading.  However one of the assignments that we carry together is praying that the gift of healing would return on a massive level to His body.  We both are not exactly whole people and deal with misc health issues that change every day and at any hour.  We have learned to use what works that day, fight for what we dont have, and flow with the grace God gives us at the moment. 

 

Yesterday I noticed he needed his pants mended and we gathered together the gifts that I had to use the sewing machine with the gifts he had working to fill in what I could not do!  He doesnt know how to use the sewing machine but he brought me the chair, threaded the needle and then pushed the reverse button since I couldnt do it.  He clipped the seams with the scissors I was unable to squeeze.  I smiled that together, we were able to sew up one simple seam.  That is truly how God meant not only marriage, but His whole body to function as one unit.  Truly marriage is a great mystery of where He is bringing His people into oneness in Christ Jesus.

 

1 Cor 12:14-23 NLT

Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, "I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand," that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, "I am not part of the body because I am only an ear and not an eye," would that make it any less a part of the body? Suppose the whole body were an eye — then how would you hear? Or if your whole body were just one big ear, how could you smell anything?  But God made our bodies with many parts, and he has put each part just where he wants it. What a strange thing a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, "I don't need you." The head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you." In fact, some of the parts that seem weakest and least important are really the most necessary.

 

John 17:11 NKJV

Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

 

MENDING

Mark 1:19

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending {2675}  their nets.

 

1 Peter 5:10 KJV

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect {2675}, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

 

katartizo

NT:2675 katartizo (kat-ar-tid'-zo); from NT:2596 and a derivative of NT:739; to complete thoroughly, i.e. repair (literally or figuratively) or adjust:

KJV - fit, frame, mend, (make) perfect (-ly join together), prepare, restore.

 

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY  8/13/02

Healing is often more a process than a instant miracle. There are all manners of healing and some kinds of healing are like mending fish nets.  One loop is connected, another is untangled.  I fill the gaps in your life and help you to get rid of everything holding you in bondage as I smooth out what is in disarray.  I repair you while you remain pliable in My hands and step by step we complete the project of remodeling your life into healthy abundance. 

 

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5:10-11 NKJV)
