Please hear this in the context in which it is given. The words are strong and I make no apologies.
My goal is to light a fire in someone facing a test result or a diagnosis.
Here is the thing. I've been there. I've been there several times and I'm going to share how I stay in dogged faith when I'm faced with something scary and how I respond while I'm believing God for someone else's healing.
NOTE: I do NOT believe we can manipulate God with a specific set of beliefs. His will reigns. But, until HE makes the decision on your outcome, I want you to remain in faith.
I want you to trust Him for your peace's sake - NOT BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE HIM DO ANYTHING.
That faulty theology exists and I am not advocating that. I'm advocating for the sort of faith that leans on:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [a]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-8
DO KNOW: If God carries you to a trial, He has a plan, provision and will help you through it. But, until He does, you remain in faith.
Sickness is not a sin. If you are struggling now through this sort of season, keep the faith-filled atmosphere while you fight!
