We Abide In Christ: Healing with God - Part 2

This powerful message invites us to explore what it truly means to experience healing through abiding in Christ, challenging our limited definitions of what healing can be. Drawing from John 15, we're reminded that we are branches connected to the vine, and our wholeness depends entirely on remaining connected to Jesus. The sermon confronts our tendency to want immediate answers—our 'vending machine Jesus' mentality—when God is actually calling us to trust Him in the 'in-between' space between promise and provision. This is where Abraham lived, where Job persevered, and where we often struggle most. We learn that true healing isn't just physical; it encompasses our broken hearts, our mental clarity, and our financial struggles. The testimony shared about financial restoration through obedience reminds us that blessings flow when we're faithful to God's commands. Perhaps most challenging is the concept of 'holy subtraction'—that God must prune away habits, relationships, and ego attachments that drain us rather than define us. We cannot manufacture our own peace; we can only receive it from the Peacemaker Himself. The call is clear: open every area of our lives to Christ, creating an unobstructed path so His peace can flow through us like sap through a branch, bringing the wholeness we desperately seek.
