BAD NEWS? BATTLE GROUND.

2 Corinthians 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

Three months ago I thought I was well and doing well for my age. I went to my doctor for a routine visit to renew my prescriptions. I said “Doc, my right shoulder hurts. They ran an x-ray and said your clavicle is broke. Just wear a sling, it will get better. I went to presbyter’s meeting. At the meeting I said I think I am dying. I came home. I went to a bone specialist. He never looked at my shoulder. He just looked at his cell phone x-ray. He said some times the clavicle just break on their own, just wear a sling. I visited the ER, THE DOCTOR LOOKED AT MY RIGHT SHOULDER and said something is bad wrong, go to your doctor tomorrow. I returned to my doctor and they looked at my shoulder and said there is something wrong. While traveling home a nurse called and said go to the hospital direct admittance. The next day the doctor on call seemed concerned. I asked him to be honest and direct. The doctor told me it looked like cancer. After many test the doctor told me, with my family and they came in and said stage four cancer. I was in the local hospital 10 days, 8 days I could not get out of bed. My case looked helpless and hopeless. We cried a lot. Friends and family visited. We laughed and we cried.

From there has been many visits to Louisville, 2 surgeries to find CHRONDROSARCOMA on my right shoulder. CHRONDROSARCOMA is a bad cancer. The doctor discussed total removal of my right shoulder and my right arm. I have played music all my life. Removal? He later wanted to biopsy the spine. Our prayers and hopes were just the shoulder. I was at church praying when my son and my wife came in the War Room. They did not have to say one word. Tears were like a river. This was Wednesday my c5-c7 was ate up with cancer. Thursday we met a Neurologist specialist and he suggested surgery ASAP. He wants us to see an ENT DOCTOR before the surgery. SO WE ARE IN A BATTLE FOR OUR LIFE.

Please pray.

This battle with cancer has caused me to focus more clearly. The fire burns in my bones. The pain has been beyond anything I have ever known. Many nights my wife and I have cried all night. But I cry out: ITS OK GOD, GOD I TRUST YOU!

JEREMIAH THE WEEPING PROPHET HAD BEEN HURT. HE WAS FRUSTRATED… JEREMIAH WAS LOOKING AT PEOPLE AND NOT GOD. JEREMIAH WAS READY TO QUIT BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT… HE LEARNS: WE CAN’T AFFORD TO QUIT!

Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

WHO KNOWS? WHY SIT HERE? MAYBE GOD WILL VISIT AND HONOR OUR EFFORTS.

2 Kings 7:3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

WE HAVE 2 OPTIONS… SIT HERE AND DIE? OR DO SOMETHING?

2 Kings 7:4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

MAYBE GOD MIGHT HELP US… GET UP AND DO SOMETHING!

2 Kings 7:5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

WE MUST REMEMBER “BUT GOD!” ARE ABLE TO TAKE THE PROMISE?

2 Kings 7:6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
