How often do we hear about a Christian's ' re-birth ', or personal relationship with Jesus Christ being initiated during life's darkest hours, at a time of deep physical sickness, or at a time we are completely broken that we finally turn to the Love of Jesus Christ as our ultimate remedy,..........(which He surely is)!
Today, it is with a heavy heart that I feel compelled to highlight the request for Prayer for ( a dear and compassionate friend/nurse, whom happens to be a Oncology Nurse of several years at the Oncology Infusion Center where I have personally been treated for the past 4 years ). Well,.....Karen has just been diagnosed with a very difficult cancer of the blood, and will begin Chemotherapy next week.
I tell you true, that having been a recipient of prayer for healing by my Church, congregation, Bible Study Group, and numerous other brothers and sisters in Christ, " The Power of Prayer is Strong ! ". It's effect on me personally has not only improved my overall health status on the 'physical' level, but the effect it had on the curative " Inward Holy Spirit " was so very significant, that it has enabled me to find blessing in even the most difficult moments of my own sickness.
To put it very simply, Prayer has instilled a personal outlook that makes me self-label myself as
' The Healthiest Sick Man, I've EVER met '. .......................PRAISE GOD !
So, I do indeed ask your help. I humbly ask that you pray for our Sister in Christ, Karen. Please pray that she sees that God has many ways to heal our damaged bodies, and that it is all based on the redemptive work of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Worry is one of the major causes of health issues and contribute to the challenges to overcome sickness.
It ages our bodies and minds, it causes ulcers and high blood pressure. Worry causes sleepless nights, it eats away at our minds, and drains us emotionally.
Worry is in fact stress, which has by numerous physicians been labeled as a great obstacle to regaining health, and may contribute to lengthened sickness.
We worry because we don't know if we are honest with ourselves in considering whether we have the Complete Faith needed to receive God's many promises.
This is why not only during times of crisis in sickness, but throughout our lives we must 'immerse ourselves in Holy Scriptures' so that we come to know God's merciful promises to us,...his children !
God's word tells us that He wants us " looking unto Jesus. the author and supplier of faith " (HEB. 12:2)
" Jesus is the source of all Faith " He is far greater and more powerful than any problem or sickness we will ever encounter. " God has dealt to every man, the measure of faith. " ( ROM 12:3)
If we keep our eyes on Jesus Christ, He will grow our faith. This, my friends, is the divine growth of faith.!
Growth to the point that we can realize Him as our complete sufficiency, to enable us to place our problems and sickness at the foot of the cross.
A true faith that lends the complete understanding that " By His Stripes WE are Healed" (ISAIAH 53:5)
In closing today, may I be so humble to ask that we pray in earnest for Nurse, Karen ( A true earthly angel of mercy), as well as all other brothers and sisters in Christ that may be facing a situation of serious disease without the utmost and highest faith in Jesus Christ. Through Him and With Him we surely can achieve anything!..........................................( inclusive of Holy Miracles ! )
Lord, please help her not to ever lose heart or hope in His ultimate ability to heal. For it is written,........
' I am the Lord God Who Heals You '
We ask that you restore full health to Karen and others afflicted. " Restore her health and heal all her wounds " ....(JER. 30:17)
Father, we see you as the one Sovereign Lord who forgives all iniquities, who heals all diseases, who redeems our lives from destruction, and crowns us with loving-kindness and tender mercies.
...........(Psalm 103:2-4)
Finally God,...(and I promise, this is the final,....finally). But God, you have anointed us to have healing virtue in our lives,....if we are only to ask. The Bible says 'we have not,because we ask not',(James 4:2)
So God, we ask you now for this Anointing to be activated in Karen's life as well as all those in need.
We, as Karen's Brothers and Sisters in Christ as you for your apostolic anointing of healing power, miracles, and virtue to be released through our fervent prayers to Karen. May these blessings be bestowed
and result in complete recovery so that she may continue to share her God given blessings of nursing, and become even further pleasing to your watchful eyes.
We Humbly ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus
