“ALL MY PURPOSE!”

Isaiah 42:8-10                                             (ESV)

“8 "Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, 

9 remember the former things of old; for I am GOD, and THERE IS NO OTHER; I am GOD, and there is none like ME, 

10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'MY counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish “ALL MY PURPOSE”,'”. 

Nobody understands MIRACULOUS healing more than I do.   Many people, especially people who are trained in the medical profession, have made that clear to me since 2007.  According to friends, prayers were sent to heaven on my behalf from all over the world!  I’m not that well known, but a dear friend was working in Iraq at the time and I know he was praying for me!  Regardless, my recovery from the Brain Hemorrhage has been remarkable and I praise GOD for that.

But do you suppose that my survival depended on faithful prayer warriors begging and beseeching THE LORD for my restoration?  I have written many times that GOD HAS A PLAN, and I’m just blessed to be apart of it!  Who do I think I am to “inform” ALMIGHTY GOD about everything going on in my world?  Ahhh, but HE tells us in Philippians 4:6b-7 “....but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD.  And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS.”  

GOD DESIRES our dependence on HIM!  THERE IS NO OTHER that is able to accomplish “ALL MY PURPOSE”!  Medical Doctors can aid in healing, but there are still some who can’t be saved.   Bankers can assist in dire financial times, but people still have needs they can’t cover.  When we finally realize that HE WILL ACCOMPLISH “ALL MY PURPOSE”, only then are starting to SEE that GOD IS IN CONTROL!  HE calls the shots and we can only beg HIM for HIS mercy.  

To exclaim that I am forever grateful for the prayers and support during my life is way beyond an understatement.  But ALMIGHTY GOD is the ONE WHO heals and HIM accomplishing “ALL MY PURPOSE” is the thing I am most thankful.  According to one doctor, GOD is the ONLY ONE WHO could have accomplished what HE did and it had to be “ALL MY PURPOSE!!!”
