Just Believe
Mark 9:23 says, Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible for him who believes.” I have been very sick and close to dying, but I still have a great joy and peace in my spirit. I had a bad infection and was allergic to the medicines they gave me for it, so I had to put my trust totally in Jesus. My reaction to the medicine was so severe because I took it on an empty stomach and it caused me to pass out. I had not been able to keep down much food or drink, so my body just collapsed. My daughter and her family have taken great care of me so I didn’t have to stay in the hospital; I only had to go for an emergency visit. They gave me medicines that brought me back to life. I did not want to go to the hospital, but the Lord said, “you will die, so what do you choose- life or death?” I know He wanted me to choose life, so I went. He then gave me the strength to walk to the car because I did not want an ambulance to take me. We had to go to the closest hospital because I could not go far. In all this, a peace came over me, even while I was extremely weak. I thank everyone for their prayers because it is the Lord who is carrying me through. I am getting better slowly, but am still very weak. I am taking this time to draw closer to Jesus. I still have a low grade fever, but my strength is coming back slowly and I can feel myself getting better, thank you to my granddaughter. It has been many months now that I can not move much, which is hard for me because I am an active person. A close friend sent me a scripture verse, Job 23:10, “...[You] shall come forth pure as gold,” and that verse spoke clearly to my heart in the darkest hours of the night. Through it all, I just believe for healing!
John 11:40
Jesus saith unto her, “Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?”
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
