There's still time to sign up for your "Lessons" newsletter! The table is set, the food prepared; eat up, and don't forget to share! Newsletter Dated: 4/23/2003 9:56:44 AMSubject: The Glory Greetings and Welcome to the table!
Many of you know that I have been doing research in the "Valley of the Shadow." I was placed in the cleft of a rock, so that I could see God's Glory!! Many times we long for the Glory, pray for the Glory, fast and plead for it. Then God answers and positions us, that we may indeed, see His Glory. LESSON: Be very careful what you pray for, and count the cost, because if you believe in your heart what you have asked for-it shall come to pass!
Moving right along, I prayed for the Glory. On the heels of submitting my first book, "Lessons Learned on My Way Home, God honored my prayer. I was laid flat on my back, the doctors said I had a disc that was so extruded that I required immediate surgery or risk paralysis. My doctors had no patience with my desire to consult the Great Physiscian; Our Father in Heaven. I felt as if I was being bum-rushed into the operating room! I experienced pain that was totally foreign to me, I had never felt so betrayed as my body seemed to make war against its own self! I cried out to God from a bed of affliction, and I asked Him if this was unto death. The answer was NO. It was then that I was comforted to know that God was still in control, and I allowed the battle to be HIS! I stood on the word of God. I spoke healing to my body, and I continue to do so. The word of God is Medicine, if you will take it and believe!
During this time, I received a phone call. Funding for the organization I worked for was discontinued, so now I didn't even have a job to go back to! I was in so much pain though, I couldn't even grasp that tidbit! What I did make note of though, was that Our Father never allowed me to experience any lack! I've even payed my car off during this time! I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor His seed begging bread!!!!!
Each day I go from strength to strength. My pastor prophesied to me that I will walk this out. I am walking out my healing, day by day. I am speaking to the mountain and the mountain is getting up out of Dodge!! My body belongs to God!
I write this to share with you that God's goodness knows no bounds. I know that I am healed, this is but one of the benefits that Jesus got for us by His stripes. And I'm down for my benefits! Yet, even as I embraced my healing, I wanted the doctors to acknowledge it (so I could really testify!) However, with no medical insurance now, and having been denied Medicade (God wanted to do it Himself!) I saw no way to document my healing medically, or to keep scheduled medical appointments.
This is where you need to prepare to shout!! This morning as I sat reading quietly, the phone rang. It seems a doctor, a Chiropractor (one I'm not even familiar with!) is offering a special free consultation to include, the back, spine, and nervous system. I was told that this will only last for two weeks, and there is no obligation for further medical treatment allegiance to this doctor. I laughed out loud as I reached for the pen to jot down the information.
You see, that doctor may have one thing in mind, I don't know--but I see my Father's hand all in this! I hope that Chiropractor will be ready to deal with the Glory!!!! And I hope you found HOPE in this story!
Whatever you might be experiencing right now, know this: Our Father has told us to cast ALL of our cares upon HIM, for HE careth for us! Take Him at His word. I promise you HE will work it out!
