A Message From God (Author Unknown) (Saturday, February 16, 2008)

As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday.

But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were to busy.

At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead.

I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn’t bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn’t.

That’s okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.

After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don’t know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn’t talk to me.

Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That’s okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I’ve got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well. I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.

Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you.

Hoping that today you will give me some time.

Have a nice day!

Your friend,
GOD

Healed of Overeating! by Elaine Davenport (Thursday, February 14, 2008)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Before you hear my miraculous journey story, let me tell you about how curses of sickness sometimes runs in families. I had a paternal grandmother who looked so much like me. She was a diabetic and blind in a wheel chair. Between my dad and mom’s family: they had polio, emphysema, cancer running rampant, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. One uncle was the only one who didn’t have high blood pressure and he died of pancreatic cancer. He deeply regretted drinking and having taken recreational drugs Spiritually speaking no one was a strong believer to my knowledge except my maternal grandmother and she died in her sleep. My grandfather’s family had brain tumors and gout. I had those two. Ugh. Jesus came that I might have life and have it more abundantly. When I began to believe and declare that I was redeemed from the curse of the law my body began to line up to that, but it was a long journey. It really was.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. MARK 8: 34

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I’ve been an emotional (or lack of) overeater for as long as I can remember but not with any consistency. Now mind you, I’m not some girlie who was skinny twenty years ago, who gained weight and have this “one picture” to prove it. The story is worse. I’ve gained and lost at least four or five times, but 5 years ago it all became a problem for this “former” Weight Watcher’s Instructor who “had” a following. Right after I had lost a ton, I was inflicted with a brain tumor and during my recovery, I decided I didn’t want to die without having cherry pie and brownies which unfortunately led to too many other things.

FAST FORWARD TO 2005

In 2005 , I decided and felt led to lose weight. I tried and tried the whole year off and on to no avail. By the time that the year ended…I was in the same shape …only a little wiser.

2006

In that year, I started out with a bang. I fizzled out around March and went up and down. It seemed that my sweet tooth, breads, and snacks were doing me in. I was ever burdened because I know that the devil was tempting me and I was losing the battle. God was merciful, my health remained good. The year ended and I had not gained, but had lost very little.

2007

I started that year out with a determined spiritual fervor. I found some scriptures to confess. Here they are:

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. James 5: 16

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Proverbs 25:28

Draw Nigh Unto God and He Will Draw Nigh Unto You (James 4:8)

Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. MARK 8: 34b

I binded the spirit of overindulgence, overeating and greed. I loosed the spirit of self discipline, temperance and self control. I thanked God for the overcoming power to resist the devil. I thanked God that the Word was being made flesh in my body and in my flesh. I did all of this four times a day.

BUT WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?

Well, I didn’t do it for me. I did it for my friend and she was supposed to be doing it for me. Neither of us lost weight or gained control of our appetites that year. However change had begun. I gave up beef, pork, chicken and turkey. That was a miracle that I never intended. My legs got their circulation back. The gout episodes that would constantly attack my feet and throw them in a headlock rendering me disabled wherever and whenever it felt stopped. My blood pressure dropped, my cholesterol dropped. I was medicine free. I didn’t lose weight but it was a great year. I began to pray more fervently! I didn’t give up!

2008

The year came in and I was healthy and unhappy with my weight but not my life. I gave up cookies, cakes, pies, candy (except for mints), breads, potatoes (for a little while and will incorporate them in back slowly) along with my permanent plan of no more meat in life. I prayed those scriptures above for a friend who “does” in turn pray them for me. We have regular prayers and pep talks about our God inspired plan. We both are in separate exercise plans. She belongs to Curves for Women and I faithfully do the treadmill downstairs and the Cross Bow which is like the Bow Flex. I eat mostly fish, veggies, fruit, oatmeal and though it doesn’t sound like much, I stay full.

I’ve never felt better. I’m healed. I work for God and my body is a temple of the Lord. I have Divine health and it’s God’s will that I will prosper and be in “health” even as my soul prospers. I got that.

Failure To Be Healed is Not An Option! by Elaine Davenport (Monday, February 11, 2008)

I talk to a lot of people and ask them if they will accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Most of the time, I hear this response: “I believe, but not now.” I hear it so much I can almost finish the sentence for them. Most people that are healthy take it for granted. This is fact. I’ve done it; a lot of people do. Notice that I didn’t say everybody? Most people think sickness happens to other people.

God has a plan for you regarding your health. Here it is in a nutshell:

3 John 1:2 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

GOD WANTS YOU WELL!

I mention this because a few years ago I was ministering to a young girl in another state who had (what they called) terminal cancer. As I began to introduce her to God’s plan I noticed that she didn’t seem to believe me. I asked her what was wrong and she explained the following which I am not making up:

Her pastor from her church came to see her at the hospital and told her that God was punishing her because she got married without telling him (the pastor). She attended a small church in a small town and had not been taught much at all about the bible by her pastor. Perhaps he just didn’t know. Can you believe that?

That is horrible and a lie from the pit of hell! I assured her that God’s not some punishing God whose aim it is to teach you a lesson.

SO FAILURE TO BEING HEALED IS NOT AN OPTION.

But, you do have to do some things. Thinking and hoping you’ll be healed isn’t enough.

Let me give you some scriptures to think about:

I will give you back your health again and heal your wounds. Jeremiah 30:17

God is our (my) refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalms 46:1

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their whole body. Proverbs 4:20-22 NAS

He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalm 107: “I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.” Jeremiah 33:6 NIV

“If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and laws, then I will not make you suffer the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:26 NLT

“Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.” Exodus 23:25-26 NIV 20 NAS

“The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy, too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.” Isaiah 58:11 NLT

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24 NIV

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.” Matthew 8:16-17 NIV

And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, and saying, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” And after He had come into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “Be it done to you according to your faith.” And their eyes were opened. Matthew 9:27-30 NAS

***If you will immerse yourself in healing scriptures you’ll soon realize that God wants you well. Always remember that failure is not an option!
