Practical help

The three main aspects of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee were teaching, preaching and healing. He taught the life-transforming truth of God’s grace. He preached to the crowds, challenging the people to have faith in God. He healed the sick and downcast to demonstrate His power to change lives and His compassion for individuals. His miracles of healing served further to authenticate His teaching and preaching, proving that He truly was from God.

No human problem is beyond His healing touch. Even the struggles with porn that seem to defeat us so easily are no match for Jesus’ power working in us. He is at work to heal the damage porn has done in your heart and mind. Remember who He is — the Healer — and that He is at work in you. Look to Him today — He’ll seek to gain your attention — when the temptations to porn bombard you.
