Sorry about that James, I hope you get better very soon.
It has been an interesting Sunday, it actually started yesterday with this email, here it is:
Mrs. P's Devotional for Today:
Recovery
You are entering a season of recovery a time when you will have opportunities to recover all that has been lost. You must not dwell on your losses, but have faith in this new beginning. For, I tell you honestly, that what is done is done; what is past is past. You can do nothing to change what has been; you can make the most of the days ahead by allowing My Spirit to be your Guide, says the Lord. Put your trust in Me.
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Well, as you know, I am constantly dwelling on the past, wanting to change things even though I know I can't, and worried sick over the future, such as finances, etc. Well, I got the above message yesterday, then today, in church, after the sermon, the speaker asked for anyone that wanted prayer to come forward and he and his wife would pray for each one individually. Well, I told them how I feel like I have no faith anymore and that I am not close to God like I use to be, that I was homesick, etc. I also told them how I have such bad pain in my neck in back. So, they first laid hands on my neck and bad and prayed for those to be healed, then we talked about my spiritual issues. I mean, the man and his wife were hitting the nail on the head big time, and she even said almost the same thing that the message had said that I posted. She said I can no longer live in the past, it is finished, that when I hold on to it, I can not hold on to the future and that is what God wants. She said that God has never left me and neither has the Holy Spirit, she said I am under attack and when this happens to pray all the more, listen to uplifting music, see the beauty here, etc. She said this is now my home, and the folks here are my friends and want to be my friends. Then, she and her husband prayed over the homesickness and for the devil to release me so I can have my joy back, the prayers were so powerful. Wow, I left feeling better and now, I am feeling terrific. I mean, if the Lord has not spoken to me through the email message and Russell and Heather (the speaker and his wife who prayed over me) I don't know who has. It is like a miracle. All this has happened at a time when I have felt my lowest, I mean to tell you, the last two days had been so rough, and now this wonderful event, Praise the Lord.God truly IS good.
He is on your side too, James, Praise the Lord, He love us all sooooo much.
