Healing Christmas
The Almighty appeared
on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and
taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the
more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this
truth of the Incarnation. - J.I. Packer
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God. - C.S. Lewis
Dear Friends,
God became incarnate among our broken
humanity in the infant in Bethlehem. How incredible! How vulnerable! How
helpless and dependent he was! And yet the whole cosmos found its
source, and its existence sustained in him. “In him all things hold together”
(Col. 1:17), and yet the baby Jesus cannot hold his bladder! He is so
weak, so small. In short, he is truly one of us. The Almighty has found
his dwelling place among the powerless.
And yet ultimately we find in
ourselves a heavenly nature, supernatural power, heroic love, courage
and sacrifice - all in Him. In and through Him, we have become sons and
daughters of God. Behold, we are a new creation in Christ.
The goal of OSL is that a person learns,
grows in the ways of the Spirit and gives themself to the healing works
of Jesus, becoming “as He is in this world” (1 John 4:17).
Those who are beginning with our foundational 26 Miracles of Jesus
course begin to feel within themselves that a real transformation
awaits them. It’s all about learning to be like Jesus and by His Grace,
learning to let him minister in powerful ways through us. It’s that
simple ...and that amazing!
Would you like to retake the class? The
program is rich with additional resources as well as hands-on prayer
practicum in small groups via Zoom Breakout Rooms. Participants
regularly pray for each other and are prayed over. This is a wonderful
opportunity for growth and renewal. Current OSL members need only to
sign up for a class time and make sure that they have the most recent
copy of the 26 Healing Miracles workbook!
I invite you to think and pray about sponsoring a friend to take the OSL online 26 Healing Miracles
class. This is a gift that can be life changing! The cost for
individuals wishing to take the class includes class materials and a one
year membership with OSL.
