Champions Of Christ Church Community Group
This is a church, but online! Most people view a church as the building you go to for worship. NOT TRUE. In the beginning, it was a community that shared things. This is a church. A web-based community who can share with others. Feel free to ask questions. There are no "dumb" questions. How will you know unless you ask. I only ask that you have JOY. (Respect of Jesus,...
I have been a born again Christian since I was 9 yrs old. I have prayed that God would give me a great testimony. (not the testimony I wanted, but.....) I asked for it, got it, and here it is.
At 17 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I started taking meds and I thought that would be it. In 2001, I had a hemorrhagic stroke. In 2005, I then had a heart attach and brain aneurism. I prayed for healing. All I kept getting was, "Not yet." I found out I have diabetes type II (which is now type I). Now, God? "not yet." I learned that I have cervical dystonia. Now, Lord? "Not yet"
I then realized that I could be praying for the wrong thing. I started praying, "Lord, use me. In spite of the fact that I have all these problems, use me." He finally said, "OK!"
once again, I emphasize, this may not be the path God has for you. But,......
I will pry for, and with, you!!
This was part of His plan for me. I'm not saying this is God's plan for you, or anyone else. I am saying that we are selfish and want what we want. We need to learn to rely on what God has planned..
A bit harsh, I know, but think and pray about it. I am!!!
My prayer is that God will use me and my "illnesses" to His glory. That all that is "wrong" with me will give me that "in" with others who suffer the same, or similar, problems. Then I can brag on God. I can show that He can bring you to it, stay with you there, and bring you through it!!!!
i WILL PRAY FOR YOU, SISTER, THAT GOD WILL MAKE YOU WELL, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN!
Do you continue to pray for healing even though your answer has been not yet or no?
Everything is in God's timing not ours.
I just recently was given an answer to a question I asked God in 2004.
I am believing that God is going to see me through. I need the strength to get me through. The enemy is in my ear telling me things that I know are not true.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, THAT YE MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT.

2 Peter 3:8 (KJV)
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
No. Once God has closed the door, quit banging on it!!!
But, God might answer yet. See above scripture!!!
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you
Notice, first "Rejoice always" then "pray without ceasing". Good order to remember!!!
God is good.
Thank you for the scriptures Mary.
I am having trouble breathing today.
I am still in a battle I will not give up.
I am determined to make it through this.
Praise God. He's in control!!!
