Bible Note: EdB: I think your note is very well done, and I agree totally with what you have said. I found a book several years ago, THE GOD WHO HEARS by W. Bringham Hunter,IV Press 1986. I found some deep answers to many questions most of us have about prayer. I also this last year learned the importance of asking to be in Gods direct will, rather than what I feel or I think I should have. When I was told I had cancer, my wife and I prayed to be in the Lords direct will, no matter if I was to live with cancer or be relieved of cancer. I asked my Pastor and Elders to be annointed with oil and prayer over. I asked this in obedience to James 5:14-16. Before this happened there was a time of confession of sins, by all who were led to do so in prayer. All this was done as an act of obedience and faith, that we had given my life to the Lord to do with as His will was to be. With this act done we rested with the assurance that no matter how my cancer turned out I was in the Lord Jesus direct will. I have been content and not anxious about the results. For the time allowed me, even if it turns out I no longer have cancer, I will most assuredly die sooner or later. No matter what we do it is only for a short time at best. Then if we really believe what Jesus said I will be going home to be with Him! As I write this very note my Dad who is 83, is slowly being ussered in to his final home. Some day I will see all those who I have known who have gone home before me. Blessings to you Ed! Merry celebration of Christ's Birth. justme |
