It's been a little over 2 weeks now that I got my sudden onset of pain just under the right ribcage.
A day in the ER , xrays, and sonagram and all they can tell me is it's a fatty liver.
Followed up after a painfilled weekend with the specialist.
For some reason, fear crept in, and I started preparing myself for the worst.
I broke down right before he came in.
Surely something that hurts this long, and this bad has to be horrific.
He calmed me down, and told me all my blood test, and urnine test come back great.
It's a fatty liver as far as he can tell.
It can go away with exercise, and eating well.
Great! But what about this pain???????
I had prayed for healing, and even got confirmation, and yet doubt kept creeping.
Just because the pain is here, doesn't mean that God hasn't already healed me.
It could be that I have to go through the process of healing.
So, I'm eating right, mostly organic.
The pain... still there, and more severe since Wednesday, and today almost unbearable.
I thought about what Kathleen has said about going through the pain, but still holding on
and being held by the Lord. Pain, is pain, and well, God is God.. and so I took Kathleen's
role model example, and through the pain , I am holding fast to the promises of God.
I know that I know, He is more than able. He is with me always. He works all things
out for my good.
What pain are you in today? Give it over to God, allow Him to bring you through it, and
hold fast to him, as he holds on to you. You are his precious child. He loves you.
He is faithful. Profess His Promises. Lay hold and do not let go of Him.
"I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." (Psalm 16:8, NIV)
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:29-31, NIV)
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
~ Romans 8:28, NLT
Thes was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities
and carried our diseases." Matthew 8:17
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded Hebrews 10:35
MY favorite to shout out... Revelations 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; thy did not love their lives
so much as to shrink from death. !!!!!!!!!
All we go through... our testimony... our lives are not in vain !!! This is where I can see that we should count it all joy when we are faced with battles, they strengthen our faith, and they give us a testimony!
A testimony that will defeat Satan in due time.
WE WIN!!!!!!
Father God, you comfort those who mourn, those in pain, and you heal the broken hearted, you give strength to the weary, you uphold us by your right hand! You are the same yesterday , today and forever!
You are the lover of our souls. You have written our name on the palm of your hand, you know the very hairs on our head, you know us better than we know ourselves. You have called us by name, set us apart.
Let us take captive every thought that sets itself against you Lord God, and let us proclaim your word, your promises over our lives. Help us to seize hold of the truth, with all faith , hold fast to your ways. Knowing full well that you work all things out for our good, for your glory!
You are the all knowing father. I praise you Lord. I choose to believe YOU!
In Jesus Name - AMEN
