I HATE SICKNESS!

Actually, I hate the devil! After all, he is the author of sickness & every evil.
Last week, I got really sick. Wierd, some sort of 24-48 hr. bug... was not fun...3 days later my little son, Max came down with some sort of illness.

I absolutely do NOT believe that God teaches you through sickness, like some ignorant people believe, however .... through this trial, I feel like God reminded me of 3 great slogans that increased my faith & spirit:

Number 1: Trade your Worry, For Worship. I had heard this saying before, but it is sooo important to literally take every negative thought captive as the Bible says, and begin to worship & thank God for his completed work on the cross. The Bible says we "are" and "were" healed from his stripes.

Number 2: Focus on your Position and NOT your Condition. The devil wants us to focus on our condition, whether it be deteriorating health and/or lack of finances, etc. He wants us to forget our position, that we are the righteousness of God in Christ. If you can remember this it will give you the power to change your condition. If you pray against lack, abundant supply shall flow. If you pray for healing, sickness will have to leave. These things can't happen by our own doing, but by Christ power & life flowing through us. Remain conscious of WHO YOU ARE.

Number 3: Focus on Healing and NOT Feeling. Sometimes we get so caught up in how horrible we feel that it is hard to remember the price Jesus paid for us on the cross. As I saw Max sick, it broke my heart. No one wants their child to be sick. And even more so... God as our Father hates to see us sick and unhappy. His desire for us is to be full of joy, strength & life!

Fourthly, - I would encourage you to start to take communion everyday. Mark & I have been taking it every morning. Jesus said... DO THIS... and REMEMBER ME. It's so good to be reminded everyday of his forgiveness & healing that he provides us.

Well, new adventures are awaiting... the fam is coming in town this weekend and we have some great things planned! Will try to post again soon.
