2 Chronicles 16:12

2 Chronicles 16:12.  ".....Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but sought help from the physicians."

Matthew 6:33.  "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

Matthew 6:25.  "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life........Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"

Matthew 7:7.  "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be given to you."

Matthew 8:1-3.  "....And behold a leper came to him and said, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean."  And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will, be clean."

Matthew 8:13. "And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go, let it be done for you as  you have believed."

Matthew 9:28-29. "When he (Jesus) entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?  They said to him, "Yes, Lord."  Then he touched their eyes, saying "According to your faith be it done to you."  And their eyes were opened."

Matthew 9:20-22.  "And behold, a woman who has suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I will be made well."  Jesus turned and seeing her, he said, "Take heart, daughter, your faith has made you well."

Hebrews 11:1 and 6.  "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."

Jeremiah 29:11-14.  "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me, and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.  You will seek me and find me.  When you  seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord...."

God promises that he is with us.  He is willing to answer our prayers but we must do our part.  We must believe and trust that he is able to do what he says.  He has plans for us, for wholeness.  He says, "Let it be done to you as you have believed."  He also has said, "You have not, because you asked not."  He wants us to seek him with all our heart about whatever we need.

As you know, I have been asking for healing and I believe that God heals.  I believe like the Centurion that Jesus only needs to say the word, and I am healed.  I believe that God gives good things to those who ask him.  I believe that he has plans for me.  I believe that he has healed me.

I have a CAT scan on Wednesday and an oncology appointment on Thursday.  I have given all this to him and wait with hope for his answer.

Dear Gwen,
The Lord is at work in you - without a doubt! He is healing and transforming and answering. He promised it and it is evident in you. Keep writing, my friend. What true and powerful words.
