Insights on Healing

Narrator: Welcome to Insights on Healing a weekly podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled: “Healing of a Deaf and Dumb Man.” You will learn that with God all things are possible.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

In today’s Podcast, I will be reading from  St Mark’s Gospel, Chapter 7: verses 31-37 which tells about how Jesus heals a deaf and mute man. I will also be reading from Psalm 103: verses 1-11. My readings will be from the NIV version of the Bible.

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man Mark Chapter 7:31-37

31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.[a] 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Psalm 103: 1-11 A Psalm of David.

Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses,
    his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;

Welcome to Insights on Healing a weekly Podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled Faith and Belief for your healing. You will learn how to exercise faith for your healing.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from the Gospel according to Saint Mark Chapter 5 verses 21-42 which describe the healing of a woman who bled for twelve years and Jairus’ daughter who was raised from the dead. I will be reading those scripture verses from the NIV and will reflect on each situation.

21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands onher so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him.

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleedingfor twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

30 At once Jesus realized that powerhad gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came, and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peaceand be freed from your suffering.”

Reflection: The woman understood the power of faith in Jesus. She said if only I could touch his garment, I would be healed, and she was healed of her disease. The other thing to notice is she pressed her way into the crowd to reach Jesus because she knew He was all that she had. Jesus affirmed her faith when He told her, that it was her faith that healed her. Are you in a similar situation or do you need to press yourself out of your situation to find purpose in your life? Go in prayer and ask God to help you in Jesus’ name.

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

36 Overhearingwhat they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. 38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 But they laughed at him.

After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the handand said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). 42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.  

Reflection: We learned earlier in verse 21 that Jairus, a synagogue leader had asked for Jesus to go to his home, lay hands on his daughter so she may live. Jairus had already utilized his faith and belief that Jesus would heal his daughter, despite the news that his daughter was dead.  Peter, James, and John accompanied Jesus to the house and Jesus allowed the girl’s parents in, took the girl by the hand, and raised her from the dead. In this instance, Jairus’ faith in Jesus was important in the healing of his daughter.

Narrator: Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly Podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled: Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by an Impure Spirit. You will learn that God can heal anyone according to His will.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Insights on healing podcast includes the reading of scripture, praying for my audience, reading from one of my books or interviewing individuals who found purpose through the healing power of God. I pray that God would bless you and give you hope.

Today’s podcast is taken from St Mark’s Gospel chapter 9: 14-29 where Jesus heals a boy possessed by an impure Spirit I will be reading these scripture verses from the NIV and will follow with a prayer of healing.

14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.

16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.

17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”

19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[a]”

Do you have a son or daughter who needs healing?  In verse 23, Jesus himself says that everything is possible to the one who believes. Let us pray: Father in the name of Jesus, I stand with those who believe that all things are possible, and we bring our sons and daughters before you Lord, God, and pray that you will remove anything that prevents them from living a normal life. May you give us peace as we go through our trials knowing that you are continually with us, bearing our pain, giving us endurance, and the peace we need. We can do all things in Christ who gives us strength.

Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled: “Jesus Heals the Man with the Shiveled Hand.” You will learn that Jesus can heal anyone.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from St Mathew’s Gospel chapter 12:1 to 15 which describe the healing of the man with the shriveled hand, on the Sabbath day and how Jesus proclaimed that He is Lord of the sabbath and how He healed the multitude who followed Him.

I will be reading these scripture verses from the NIV and will reflect on the situation.

12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a] you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 

Reflection. God is still in the healing business. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and He is Lord over all things and circumstances. Put your faith to the test and believe God for your healing and for changing your situation.

Father, I pray that you will heal those who are sick, comfort those who have lost loved ones, and provide for those who are going through financial difficulties, and encourage those who feel lonely and are discouraged  in the name of Jesus Amen.

Thank you for listening to this podcast and may God continue to bless you.

Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled: “Jesus’ Death and Resurrection.” You will learn how Jesus died and the purpose of his death and resurrection.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from St Mark’s Gospel chapter 15:33 to Chapter 16:14 which describes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I will be reading these scripture verses from the NIV and will reflect on the situation.

The Death of Jesus

33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b]

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph,[d] and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

The Burial of Jesus

42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. 44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.

Jesus Has Risen

16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 10 She went and told those wh had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it.

12 Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. 13 These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either.

14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” You will learn the way to God is through Jesus Christ, His Son.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from St Mark’s Gospel chapter 2: 1- 12 where Jesus heals a paralytic whose friends used faith by getting the man to Jesus through the roof.

I will be reading these scripture verses from the NIV and will reflect on the situation.

2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Reflection:

We could imagine the crowd of people in Peter’s house where Jesus was staying in Capernaum. People stood outside and by the door to hear Jesus preached and it was impossible for those carrying the paralyzed man to pass through the door. They thought of a way-removing the tiles on the roof and letting him down on his bed so Jesus can heal him. Jesus was impressed with their faith, and calling the man, “Son” said “Your sins are forgiven.” This is how he regards you and me as his sons and daughters and is willing to forgive us of our sins. He was going to the depth of this man’s problems, his sin, and once he forgave the man’s sin, then the man would be healed. However, some teachers of the law were not convinced that Jesus who could sense the thoughts of people, could forgive their sins, but the fact that Jesus healed the paralyzed man by telling him to get up, take up his mat and go home, was proof that He had the divine power to do so. We learned today how compassionate Jesus is and how he regards you and me as his son and daughter and is willing to forgive us our sins.

Do you have something to tell God about today? Has there been an issue that has been on your mind for a long time, and you want to release it? Find a quiet place wherever you are and tell God all about it. Maybe you want to confess something that you have done, now is the time to confess it, renounce it, and ask God to forgive you.

Tell God that you want to receive Jesus into your heart, as Lord of your life, that you believe that  died and rose again, paying the price for your sin so you can be justified. You see there is nothing that you can do to receive this justification, for God’s action was done by grace, which is God’s unconditional love. God sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross and shed his blood so that you could receive salvation and eternal life. Your sin debt has been paid in full. Without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin. Also in John 14:6, Jesus states that “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. “ I encourage you to take this  step because tomorrow is not guaranteed.

God, I pray for every man, woman, and child listening to this podcast. I pray that you will understand that God loves you and that there is nothing too difficult for God to do in your life. I pray that you will go to God in prayer and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

I want to thank you for listening to this Podcast. May God bless you always.

Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly podcast. This Episode is entitled: God Encourages Us to Pray. You will learn the power of prayer in your life.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from the book of Luke 18:verses 1-8,  where we learned that we should go to God in prayer knowing that He listens and answers our prayers. Prayers are not answered according to our will, but to God’s will.

Let us go into the reading of Luke 18: 1-8 NIV

Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.

And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time, he refused. But finally, he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!'”

 And the LORD said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you; he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Reflect: We see here that God used a parable of the unjust judge to show his  disciples and us His children that we should pray to Him and not give up. He compared himself a just God to the unjust judge who got tired of the woman coming before him for justice against her adversaries and gave her what she wanted. If the unjust judge could do that for the woman, then God who is just would never turn us away.

Father, I pray for those who are sick with various diseases that you will heal them. I pray for those who have lost loved ones that you will comfort them. I pray for those who are in need of food and clothing that you will provide for them and I pray for those who are in prison that you will make a way for them. You have showed your people in Luke 18: 1-8, how to use the tool of prayer by bringing their needs to you Lord, for you will never turn them away. Thank you for listening and answering prayers in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly podcast. Today’s Podcast is entitled: “Healing of Your Heart”. You will learn how to maintain a clean heart.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from the book of Mark 7:verses 14-23,  where we learned that the things that come from our hearts defile us.

                                       Mark 7: 14-23

14 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “All of you listen,” he said, “and try to understand. 15 It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart.”

17 Then Jesus went into a house to get away from the crowd, and his disciples asked him what he meant by the parable he had just used. 18 “Don’t you understand either?” he asked. “Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you? 19 Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)

20 And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”

Let us pray.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.Ps. 42:1

Lord, I praise and adore you, Mighty God!

I confess that I have not surrendered every area of my life to you

I now repent and ask your forgiveness.

I pray now, and surrender my life,

All that I am and all that I could ever be,

To Your care.

Make me, mold me, and fashion me, Lord,

According to Your perfect plan and will

For my life,

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Welcome to Insights on Healing, a weekly podcast. Today’s Episode is entitled: “The Birth ofJesus qnd the Coming of Peace to the World.. You will learn about Jesus’ birth and the purpose of his coming to the world.

I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.

Today’s podcast is taken from the book of Luke 2:verses 1-14  where we learned about the birth of Jesus the coming of great joy and peace to this world.

Luke 2:1-14

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Narrator :

Jesus came to save us, to love us, to heal us, to provide for us, to be our overcomer, to fight our battles, to give us joy, to be our source of strength, to intercede for us, and to be with us always. I pray that you will find peace in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Happy Holidays.
