 9.17b-

Several outcomes possible when someone is sick.
The body can overcome the sickness by its own natural healing powers. Cleaning out the issue through time and proper eating, drinking and rest can accelerate the healing process. A positive attitude and faith in that probable outcome helps.
There can be this plus the prayers of righteous men and women.
There can be this plus a touch from Jesus, the healer.
There can be this outcome, but another outcome is a sickness that precedes a move from earth to the other side. I have met a few people who seemed to be quite healthy physically, but from a spiritual perspective they were already having a kind of life that I would call an Eternal Kind of life. Jesus referred to these people who believed in Him as "having eternal life". These people seem to living in heaven while they are still on earth. They have, present tense, eternal life in their heart and soul.
Sheila would refer to these kind of people as “living on the other side.”
Jesus heard his friend Lazrus was sick. He didn’t go to heal him immediately. He knew that this sickness was not meant to be the end of his life. When he got there he had been dead for four days. He called him out of the grave and when he came out He told the people to take off his grave clothes and let him be completely free. This caused the local religious/political leaders to want to kill him.
Eventually, all human beings will move from earth to the other realm.
This is made even more clear as we lose the “queens” in our own lives.
The lesson to me is live each day fully with love in your heart for God and all people. Use each day to serve as fully as you can. Do not waste the time you have in quarreling, arguing or wasting your life in the pursuit of wealth or excess.

John 5.

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

These people seem to have, present tense, eternal life in their head and heart and live it daily.  These people are blessed and are a blessing.

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident.

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
