I Looked at it as Story book

The Bible.  I will honestly tell you that.   I read it like it was past tense.  Stories of old.  Stories.   Also of promises.  Like promises that were yet to come, once we were back with Jesus.   Promises of Heaven... when pain, and sickness would be no more.  Once I got there.  Heaven.  Once I was back with Jesus.  But that is not true.  Once I gained that KNOWLEDGE our lives changed.  This post is me, trying to explain what exactly has happened over the past 3 months.  It was not magic.  It was purely Jesus.   And His word.  HEARING it.   Believing it, not just in it.
 
 The Bible is God's word.  It is TRUTH.  It never changes.  It is still the same.  Just like Jesus.  Hebrews 13:8  Jesus Christ IS the same yesterday, today, and forever.   There it is folks.  NEVER CHANGING.  Jesus and His word.   Knowledge.  John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.   This has been life changing for me. Weird you may think, since I have grown up in church.   April 18, 2013.   We took that knowledge, and then stepped out in faith.   We read the Book of Mark out loud (because HEARING the word is different than just reading it) over and over.  Reading on how Jesus healed ALL.  Not some, but ALL.  How you have to walk in faith.... and faith is hard, because sometimes you don't see it or feel it.   Pastor Greg taught us so much over skype,  and then again when he stayed with us for 2 weeks.   He started reading the Bible to us.  Yes folks, that is it.  He read us the Bible in a way that I have NEVER read it before.   Romans 10:17 So then Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.    He taught me that what is in the Bible is what I am suppose to be doing.  Now, today, because it does not change.  That is all. 

 I urge you to pick up that book.  The book that has never come off of the best sellers list.  I urge you to read it with new eyes.    So that you can see the life HE has meant for you.   How He calls and says your name and how your name, it lingers on His tongue.  As if you are the only thing that matters in that moment. Its Breathtaking.  I wish you could witness how He looks at you, and sees you.   Zephaniah 3:17  The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save;  He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.     Yes.  That.  That is what He does.  It makes my heart pound fast, and my breath slow, and tears spring to my eyes.   HE.  The MIGHTY one.  LOVES me.... YOU like that.  One that is weak, and scared, and sinful by nature.     Sometimes I have no words to explain to you all what we have experienced in the last few months.  So I stay quiet, so I don't scare you off, or ruin it with my words that are so small.  I know I have said it before, but I have to say it again...... Jesus' name is Holy.  It is powerful.   

Esphesians 3: 20-21 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work WITHIN US, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout ALL generations, forever and ever!  Amen.  

Just do life the Bible way,  it is full of "SHALL, and already" never "maybe and pleading".   Praying and believing works.  Praying and a hoping doesn't.
