This entry is from the PHN Conference this past weekend. PHN is Portuguese for the words Por Hoje Não and actually is part of the whole saying Por Hoje Não Vou Mais Pecar. I Will Not Sin Today. This annual conference for youth attended by tens of thousands from Brazil and surrounding countries and this movement is a major aspect of Canção Nova’s ministry to youth. Another one is Revolução Jesus [Jesus Revolution]–.ed
“He heals the hearts and bandages their wounds”(Psalm 147: 3).
The way of those who follow Jesus is a path of healing and conversion. Conversion is a change of life, conversion is decision. When we turn we decided to change our life. Many of us come here with open wounds, wounds caused by discussions and affective relationships. No matter what your suffering, God would heal it and bandage your wounds.
“Thus says the LORD who made the earth, giving it shape and stability, LORD is his name: Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you great things beyond the reach of your knowledge. Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are being torn down because of the siegeworks and the sword: men come to battle the Chaldeans, and to fill these houses with the corpses of those whom I have struck down in my raging anger, when I hid my face from this city because of all their wickedness. Look! I am bringing the city recovery and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them an abundance of lasting peace. “(Jeremiah 33: 2-6).
God wants to show you wonderful things about yourself. God’s promise to us is of lasting wellness. God brought you here to improve your life.God invites us to encounter something new, what we never imagined experiencing. Calm your heart! In hospitals there are those doctors of joy, we are also the “doctors of joy [from above],” you arrived at the hospital, we want to look after you and have fun with you in this camp “PHN 2015”.
This is the time the wound and scarring. I hurt my knee again, playing soccer, and it took almost a year for it to be fully healed. While there was a wound I had enough pain, but today, healed, I look at the scar and remember only the good times of my life and of my football friends.
The Lord tells us that first, He brought us and then improves healing. So we will improve our relationships, we will improve our experience of chastity, we will improve our education! We will try to improve at all.
Stop living in sin and sex with your girlfriend or boyfriend! Sex should be experienced in[a sacramental] marriage! God brought you to breathe new life and give you the cure! Healing is the retreat of the disease. Healing is kicking the life of sin.
A healed soul rescues a tired flesh. Your soul is good! Begin again!
