“Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than price.”
Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NLT)

SEPTEMBER 1 - How many times have you come up to the final moments of a project and been tempted to take a break? In any endeavor, most people are great starters. They get in the middle of the project and start losing steam. Then, as they are about to round the last corner, the one that would take them to the finish line, they spin out of control! The last 10% of the project takes just as long as the first 90%! Are you guilty of this?

As Jesus’ fame spread, blind eyes were opened and every sickness and every disease was totally healed. Peering down upon the multitude, the Master inwardly shook—scattered abroad without a shepherd (their bodies, spirits, and minds flowing with the wind), people began to faint, their eyes, hearts, and souls growing weary of diligence, excellence, and completion.

Yet, looking on the bright side, if you turn that last corner without losing your focus, there is a great boost of energy that drives you like a racecar, straight to the finish. You can save yourself a lot of pain and lost time if you discipline yourself to take projects all the way through to completion. This, by itself, is able to welcome you into a whole new level of excellence.

Father, I thank You that You began a good work in me and You will carry it through to completion. Likewise, I thank You that I complete every work I begin with excellence and diligence!

You Are Healed - Book

From God’s perspective, health is not something that we lack and must try to attain. Rather, it is a possession that is already ours – but the thief is trying to steal it!

Jesus went to the cross to deliver us, once and for all, from the curse of sickness and disease. So, why does divine healing often seem to be so elusive? It’s because the only proof we have of our healing, until it is manifested, is the written Word of God.

Nevertheless, God’s Word is all the proof we need! Dr. Thompson shows you how to apply the principles of God’s Word to your life, until you experience the divine health in which God intends you to walk. This book equips you with the spiritual prescription needed to attain health, wholeness, and vitality in your body.
