Faith in the Faithful

Good evening everyone,
I was replying to an email today and I kind of got on a roll, so I decided why retype it, so I didn’t. I typed it for me but you make it true for you, ok? Anyway, thanks everybody for keeping me and especially my family in your prayers. Also please remember to pray for my brother in law Brett and his family in Oklahoma. He is battling cancer.
When it comes down to brass tacks, doctors really aren’t that amazing. I mean thank God for them, but they don’t know a whole lot, really. More often than not, they are just managing symptoms. Real medical cures are few and far between with the exception of antibiotics. No, we need something better, something more powerful, more reliable. We need a Healer.
Good news, we have one! Jesus Christ, the faithful and true, is our Healer.
Recently things have not looked good around here. At times my vision for the future has shrunk to just getting the next breath.

I have to admit, my hopes have faded, but the Lord is restoring them, thanks be to God. Even though man’s faith fails, God is still faithful. His grace brings me back, time after time, to the truth. God is real. He is living, from forever to forever. He loves me, really truly loves me !! jesus was really born of a virgin,, really lived on this earth as a man, really died a horrible criminal’s death, for my sins. Really was beaten, not just by the soldiers, but by the hand of God. He bore my sicknesses, He carried my pains. He was sentenced to death, which I deserved. He went to hell. I should have, but He took my place. He defeated the devil stripped him of all power, and paraded him around heaven and hell. He took His blood, the most costly and precious substance in the universe, and cleansed the temple in heaven with it. He put that blood on the altar, forever erasing my sins, even the ones I haven’t done yet. He was actually raised from the dead, walking physically among us for forty days or so, then he ascended into heaven where He sits today at the right hand of God the Father, forever living to make intercession for me. I have access to the Creator, my Father, through the blood of Christ. Now, when God looks at me, He sees me through the blood and I am clean, pure and free. Free from sin, shame, sickness, poverty and every other curse, free to live long and be well , free to be a blessing to others. Jesus loves me! He is real and he loves me!
While things in this earth are not yet perfect, and I may not yet be obtaining everything He bought for me, yet, this I know ; Jesus loves me. He has never and will never leave me. He paid it all for me. When everyone else has spent every last shred of patience and they are way past done, His has just barely begun.
Keeping Him in mind is the challenge.
You would think it would be easy to remember the truth. why does the world get in the way of the truth? I know the truth and the truth makes me free. And so, the world must yield to the truth. Praise God!!

Healed and whole,
