The Power of Your Shadow
Friday, April 23, 2021
In Acts 5:15, it says, "As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by...and all of them were healed." We don't know why they thought to wait for Peter's shadow to pass by and touch them for healing, but they did and it worked. They were healed through a healing shadow. What is a shadow? It's the absence of light, the image of something not there, a kind of emptiness. Yet, God used a shadow to bring healing and life. Our healing often comes through having not. Maybe you've lost something or someone you loved and you feel empty. In God's kingdom, He anoints shadows to bring healing, life, hope, and joy. Most likely, you came to the Lord because of a shadow, an emptiness that led you closer to Him. So whatever you feel is missing in your life, let it lead you closer to the Lord's presence. Let the shadow bring you healing.
From Message #1191 - The Pleasure Principle
Think of something in your life that didn't go as you wanted. Now write down the ways that it brought you healing and brought you closer to God. Thank the Lord.
