Let me say "I'm Happy......."

[andrewblow]

Dear ALL-

Some of us on this board take the opportunity of expressing our feelings, hopes, fears, etc., in different ways to people we have never met - but we KNOW have similar beliefs.

A few weeks ago - in an attempt to try and explain the concept of 'FAITH' - I shared that (to cut a long story short) after having an 'X'ray' - I had been diagnosed as having both diseased lymph glands in my chest and (I didn't say) also a kidney stone. I stated that I had (as a committed christian) taken 2 steps : 1) Seen my own doctor for advice and 2) Put 'faith' into operation by acting in accordance with the Bible - JAMES 5 vs 14-15. This says (to christians remember....members of God's family) "Is any amoung you sick? Let him call the Elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick man and the Lord will raise him up"......

I saw my X'rays on 21st April and had the dark shading explained to me - danger! The next saturday (first available convenient time) I asked the Elders of my church to pray and anoint me, as the Bible suggested.
I told them about the shading and the stone.

I am making no claims whatever for myself. I am no different from any other person. My only simple, humble claim is that I have given my life to God, accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour and asked Holy Spirit to be my constant companion and friend.

AND TODAY I RECEIVED THE RESULTS OF A BIG "CT SCAN" - AND FOUND THAT GOD HAS SEEN FIT TO HEAL ME!!!!!!!!!!! No shading - all clear - and no sign of a stone.

Don't ask why God heals some and not others - I don't know. I don't deserve this - it is purely God's love in action. Will God always heal me - NO: or I would live for ever!! Everyone has to die at some time and so <James 5> has to be taken in context with the rest of Scripture that "3 score years and 10 <70>" is the general life-span of a person.

All I can say ON THIS OCCASION is GOD HAS HEALED ME and I am very, very happy and I want to thank Him and praise Him and give HIM ALL THE GLORY and if you want to join me THEN DO IT.

THANKYOU.

ANDREW.

Andrew, this is wonderful... no, that doesn't quite say it. It is beyond wonderful, just as is the inexplicable love and grace of God.

I rejoice with you, my brother Andrew, and join you in giving Him all the praise.

Greetings Andrew,
Thank you for sharing the good news. As a friend, I urge you to have follow up visits
with your doctor, at regular intervals.
Good Luck.

When my friends are happy, I'm happy as well. And right, remember about the regular visits at the doctor's!!!

Praise the LORD Andrew,

Exodus 15:26 - "...I am the LORD that healeth thee."

I join you in your happiness and praise the LORD with you.

Psalm 105:1 - "O Give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make know his deeds among the people."

And thats exactly what you are doing Andrew.
May God bless you very much.
