The New Year 2012 - Faith - Healer in the House

Good Morning,

Hebrews 11:1

Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.

Happy New Year! I know it's already February but better late than never:). It has been busy around here in the last 2-3 months. From work, to church and to seeing a miracle perform before our very eyes in the life of my beautiful wife.

I want to encourage all believers that no matter what life brings and no matter how bad the situation is going on in your home. Whether it is a physical, financial, relational or emotional problem - There is a Healer in your house today.

For those that don't know, my wife was diagnosis in September in the hospital with stage 3 colon/rectal cancer. I will give you the short story of a long but beautiful version of how the Lord was watching over my wife and the family. Doctors had to do emergency surgery on her that day. Even the doctors we stunned in their findings. 1st reason, the previous test didn't indicate anything of "severity" being wrong. 2nd reason, with my wife being young, the doctors were not even thinking about colon/rectal cancer. Doctors recommended radiation and chemo because of where it was located. This was confirmed by the radiation and chemo doctors also. We are very thankful for the doctors, nurses and staff that the Lord had put in our path. My wife (family) and a decision to make. Do we do the radiation and chemo or was there another way. With prayer and fasting, my wife (family) decided that we put our faith in the healing power of the Lord. Let me say this. If you have had cancer or going through it right now, please don't get me wrong about what I just said in regards to faith. I don't believe that Christians who had/having radiation and chemo have less faith then those that choose not to have it. Each person must pray and seek the Lord in regards to their situation. It was mid September 2011 when we found out that my wife had colon/rectal stage 3 cancer. As of today, February 12, 2012 (actually in December 2011) according to the doctors (per PET scan) there is not any trace of cancer in her body. PRAISE THE LORD! Matter of fact, on February 2, 2012 her rimary doctor came in and said the following:. I know that you and your family on praying and believing people. Medically speaking, I can't explain whay you are in such good health. I (the doctor) will make a note of this and put it in your file. The doctor went on to say, whatever you are doing, keep doing. Thank you Jesus!

I will probably explain what we did and continue to do in the process of walking out our healing in my next blog.

Now, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.

If we broke this down in the Greek is would go something like this:

Presently believing in the divine truth equals (calls for) confident expectation, expecting with desire the proof of things not perceived.

May our faith grow tremendously in 2012.

Blessings

The Announcement

Luke 2:8-15

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angels said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitide of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us know go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

c. My family (wife, son) - this includes (other family too)
d. My wife (what she has been through and how the hand of the Lord is on her)
e. The church (people of like minded faith, prayers, support)
f. Life (the ability to think, move, walk, breathe, etc)
g. Trials (that come our way, they are there to make believers strong)
h. Work (the Lord will always provide for His people)
i. Food, clothing and shelter (provision provided by the Lord)

Just Want To Say

The Lord is Good!

No matter what you are going through, be stirred in your spirit that the Lord is Faithful!

If you are going through a test, get ready to tell your testimony.

Also, Happy Rosh Hashannah. Rosh Hashannah started at sunset on 9/28. This is the Jewish New Year. The Jewish Year is now 5772. In short, Rosh Hashannah is a time to look back at the mistakes of the past year and plan the changes to make in the new year. Even though Rosh Hashannah is about life and death, it is also a time filled with hope for the coming New Year. Take some time whether Jew or Gentile and learn about this special occasion. May this New Year find yourself desire the Lord with an intense passion.

Words From The Past

Greetings to All:

Since I did not do a post in July, I will do two for the month of August.

This post will be quotes from servants of the Lord that have gone on to their heavenly reward.

Matthew 5:6

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Enjoy the following quotes:

A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness. - John Edwards

The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity. - Leonard Ravenhill

One hundred religious persons knit into a untiy by careful organization do not constitutue a chruch any more than elven dead men make a football team. - A. W. Tozer

When I try, I fail. When I trust, He succeeds. - Corrie Ten Boom

One who is pleased with his brother's fall and unhappy with his brother's progress is a person full of pride. This is the meanest of all attitudes. For if a person delights in anothers fall, he shares in the attitude of Satan. -Watchman Nee

By perseverance the snail reached the ark. - Charles H. Spurgeon

Nowhere can we get to know the holiness of God, and come under His influence and power, except in the inner chamber. It has been well said: "No man can expect to make progress in holiness who is not often and long alone with God." - Andrew Murray

Rest In Jesus

Good Day to All:

Matthew 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Let's be encouraged by the words of Jesus this day.

We live in a day where the world seems to be in a "New York Minute" pace. On top of that, we have other natural concerns and on top of that, we as believers have our spiritual walk to contend for. With all this in front of us, we at times, can get tired and worn out physically and spiritually. But, thank the Lord that He left us with His instructions to walk in this life.

Jesus says, come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Labor in the Greek means:
a. grow weary
b. work with effort (physically and mentally)
c. hard work
d. to labor until worn out, depleted (exhausted)

Heavy laden in the Greek means:
a. over-load
b. causing someone to be literally weighted-down

Whether it is a job, health issue, financial issue, family issue and/or a spiritual issue and you feel like a ton of bricks have been put on your shoulders (weighted-down) and you can't go any further - the answer that you are looking for is - Come to Jesus!

Jesus is they only one that can provide true salvation, true peace, true love, true answers and true REST!

Rest in the Greek means:
a. ease
b. to give rest (refresh)
c. completing a process
d. to pause

How do I come to Jesus?

For the Sinner:
a. Acknowledge Jesus as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
b. Repent of your sins
c. Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord
d. Believe that Jesus died, was buried, and arose from the grave
e. Tell the Lord you can't do it, He has to be your REST

For the Saint:
a. Just talk with your Savior
b. Let Him know what you are in need of
c. Praise Him and Thank Him with a grateful heart for answering your request
d. Leave your "over-load" with Him and REST a sure that He will take care of you


JESUS IS OUR REST!!!
