God Heals In Spite of Rebellion

Psalms 107:20 KJV "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from THEIR DESTRUCTIONS."  Did you know that God wants to  heal us from our own ignorant behaviors that have caused our sicknesses ?   Many years ago, I was seeking the Lord on how to pray for someone who was 70 years old and bleeding to death from an aneurysm. Was it right for me to pray for them to be healed? They had been an alcoholic their entire life... plus, they were old. Had they lived out their days? Was it their time to die? In my human heart, I even justified their demise because, after-all, they brought their suffering upon them self.   Anyway, as I desperately sought the Lord on this persons behalf, the Lord revealed to me that He wanted to heal them IN SPITE OF THEIR REBELLION.  Why?   Psalm 107:21 KJV "Oh  that men would praise the Lord for his goodness , and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" ...

In the Presence of God

“ Come into My Presence and I will refresh you as you go through the fires of purification. ” [Prophecy] The Presence of God is a place of refreshing when we go through things.

We stay in only long enough to get wet but refuse to stay in to get the full enjoyment out of the situation. “ Remain in My Presence and I will restore the years that the cankerworm has destroyed in your life. I will restore your youth. I will restore unto you the joy of My salvation for your life....

When Every Move Counts

When Every Move Counts I was rushing around our home in Bluffton SC unpacking boxes, directing the movers, organizing closets, and rearranging furniture when I noticed that the movers had forgotten to unwrap shelves for my shoes in one of my closets. They had worked very hard and it had been a busy day for all of us. We were ready to see things come to a close. The movers were on the way out when I raced after the men and reported to them that the shelf still had their blanket wrapped around it. I knew that they would need to put it on the moving van with them. A young man in the group responded quickly, "Oh, I will take care of that for you. "We walked back to the closet together. As he was untying the cords, he began to ask questions. "So, I understand you are an author. "Yes," I replied. I have written several traditionally published books and quite a few self-published books. I am currently working on a new project." ...
