A Day Off Work!
Hello everybody! Hi... Hi... Hello... Howdy... and you too-Hi!
I will be off work all day Friday! I am taking Zack to Grand Rapids to continue the monitoring of an ailment that seems to be bothering him. It's called IgA Nephropathy. It's a disease that damages the kidneys because of the blood flow from his arteries. The blood vessels leading into his kidneys constrict more than they should be and when the blood enters these smaller vessels, the pressure and blood flow increases greatly in force and when it hits the kidneys, it forces the small IgA immune complexes in our blood to get deposited and trapped in the walls of the kidney, and eventually scarring the kidney.
Zack seems to be doing just fine and I don't believe, not for one minute, that this will be a problem in his life. One thing I learned from a book about Oral Roberts when I was first saved is that you can't just ignore a sickness and be healed. You can't turn a blind eye to being sick and act like your not ill and it will all go away. That's not how it works. You need to acknowledge that someone or yourself is sick, then you take authority over it, and pray for His divine healing. Foolishly, I've done this myself. I know I'm starting to get sick and I feel it all over my body, but I say "I'm to busy to get sick" or "I don't have time to be sick." But you know what, I still end up sick. When the symptoms are there, you're probably are already sick, you know? You can't fake not being sick. You can't fool a cold! If you have a cold, you have a cold. It's okay to have a cold. But then we pray by faith for His healing and he will deliver! It doesn't take any faith to pretend not to be sick! How can we ask for healing if we pretend it's not there? I thought that was pretty cool.
Anyways, I said all that to ask for your prayers with Zack and to let you know I won't be around to shout back to any of you. I appreciate you all and have a "Sweet" day. I will spending the weekend with my son and I pray that you will have great weekend too, 'cuz I will! Miss ewe.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Chris,
Wow - that's a great point! I never really thought of it like that, not having faith to get healed because one is denying that they are sick! Cool! We'll be praying with you for Zach! God bless you guys today during your trip to GR.
God is so good. I had to go to the Dr today for a test and found that my problems have increased. On my way to work from there, the Lord led me to take authority and tell Satan he had to GET OUT, the door is shut on him, and he has no authority over my body, it belongs to Christ and I claim healing in Jesus name! - I pray the same for Zack! Be blessed beyond measure.
wow i had no idea zach suffered so much, you neither colleen. i will keep you both in my prayers. that is a really great point about healing chris! God healed my foot when i was 10. i had stepped on a nail and my foot swelled up 3x its normal size. i coudn't put any pressure on it. i finally got tired of hobbling around and asked my two little friends to lay hands on it and pray. i raised my hands and asked God to heal me ( i felt a little silly cause i was in public). i was determined to be healed though and put my foot down in faith as i heard my pastor speak about. as soon as i did that, i felt pressure release off my foot. when i looked down my foot was shrinking back to normal size. could walk on it after that. it was a miracle. we serve a very powerful God.
