                   	  *BY THE SPIRIT*
                        by Carrie Anderson

***********************************************************************
Scripture- Isaiah 6:1 says "In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the 
Lord sitting on a throne

Spiritual healing or spiritual growth cannot be gained by efforts of
the flesh.  Whether its a wounding by a past abuse or sin in your life,
human works will not heal the wounded spirit.  The change needed must
be wrought through the Spirit of God.

That which is born of the Spirit, will produce spirit.  The flesh can
only produce flesh.  Jesus said His Word was Spirit and life.  No 
matter the reason for your condition, God's Spirit-Energized Word has
your answer.

Receive it, meditate on it, and say what the Word says you are.  
Psalms 147:3 says, "God heals the brokenhearted, God binds up the
wounds."  Verse 5 says, "God is great and abundant in strength, 
infinite in understanding."  Verse 6 says, "God supports or lifts up
the humble and downtrodden."

God will work through you by His Spirit.  Turn from human efforts and
trust Him today to meet your needs.
