James 5: 16 KJV
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth
much.
For about 8 weeks I’ve been struggling
with some health issues. Melanoma is as concerning as it needs to get.
Over the course of many weeks I’ve
endured Surgery...CT Scans...Blood Work...and quite a few Doctors Appointments.
Why, if I had as many needles sticking
out of me, that were stuck in me...I’d look like a pin cushion J
Last week I was emotionally reeling. I
heard the words...”Enlarged Lymph Nodes”...”Biopsies”...”Thoracic
Surgeon”...”PET Scan”...and the word Cancer came up a time or two.
I didn’t share the specifics with too
many people, but only those whom I know who would pray in a righteous way.
I only included those folks on my
personal and spiritual board of directors.
Seriously, the only people I want
praying for me, are the spiritually profitable people I have in my life.
These are the folks who are humble
enough to confess their sins. Maybe then, and only then, can true healing
happen.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I
don’t want people praying for me who aren’t righteous.
The outcome of my Oncology visit
yesterday, was a report of healing. Three (3) enlarged lymph nodes, now turned
into One (1).
Biopsy wasn’t even a part of the
conversation. There’s no longer a need for a Thoracic Surgeon.
A bad diagnosis? That’s possible... A
coincidence? Perhaps... but I’m sticking with the concept of righteous prayer.
Did I deserve this kinds of news? Not
hardly, but I don’t call the shots, but I sure do know Who does!
I even had one crazy woman praying for
a cleansing of my temple. She sent me a picture of Jesus with whip in hand,
cleaning out THE temple.
I love it when crazy, righteous people
pray. They are the ones who can move mountains.
Do your prayers move mountains? On the
subject of righteousness...Is there something you need to confess?
Before you bend a knee to talk to
God...you might want to get that fixed first.
More on Monday...
