Everyday is an opportunity to experience God in a deep and personal way. God doesn’t want us to be nominal Christians. He wants us to be Christ like and to become the Church. The Church is the representation and extension of Christ. In Romans 6:11, Apostle Paul is teaching the Church who are already born again, believes in Jesus and are baptised. And yet he says, you need to now consider yourself dead to sin. This is an active pursuit of a mindset. We need to know and believe certain Biblical principles that set us apart from the crowd; that which help us in discerning right from wrong. Those beliefs should become the governing principle of all our decision making and it should begin to become the foundation for all our actions.
Even though we have been born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. We can consider ourselves alive to sin and that consideration can become an open door for the enemy to encroach into your life. We need to consider our relation to sin as broken. We all have a relation to it, sometimes we say, ‘this is how my father use to do it’, ‘this is how I have been doing it all the way from my childhood or the things have been done to me’. And we say we cannot overcome it. We cannot think or act differently. As we receive this revelation, some of our bondages that have been enslaving us for generations shall be broken. And, this is happening only because, we are changing our mindset and considering ourselves dead to that relationship to sin.

Healing and Bandaging
Psalms 147:2-3 (GNB)
“The LORD is restoring Jerusalem; he is bringing back the exiles. He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.”
Divide the Enemy
Mark 3:24-26 (NKJV)
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
