Original Post from His Blessed Girl
A sweet friend sent me a song to encourage me today! “Bigger” by Jekalyn Carr. As I drove in from Nashville, I played it over and over and oh how it ministered to me. Please take time to listen for yourself but I’ll share few words…
You’re bigger than HIV
You’re bigger than cancer Jesus
Bigger than diabetes
You’re bigger
As I drove, my mind reeled with all the reasons I know this is true! Many believe that Jesus did miracles when He was here on earth. You know the stories…He healed the leper, made the blind to see, the crippled walked again and He raised Lazarus from the dead. But in my lifetime I have seen Him perform many miracles myself. As I began to think about it, it’s quite amazing the number of miracles I have seen Him perform! Friends young and old healed of cancer, friends delivered from years of a homosexual lifestyle, friends walking free from addictions, friends who’ve walked away without a scratch from a deadly accident, and even my great niece perfectly healthy after a traumatic birth where she wasn’t breathing, just to name a few! Yes I believe He IS still in the miracle business friends!
Although I believe it and know it’s true because I have seen it with my own eyes, for some reason it’s hard to believe for myself. When disaster hits home, it’s only human nature to ask “why?” and to question “how.”
So, here’s the WHY…
In her song, “BIGGER” Jekalyn Carr writes these words about the devil…
Anytime, because I know the devil
And I know he’s an opposer
So he’s not gonna tell me the truth
So anytime the devil tells me I’m not something
I always say, I am that
Anytime the devil tells me I am something
I always say, I’m not that
I know that God is bigger, yeah, yeah, yeah
The devil is a liar! He is the author of fear. The devil is good at his trade and is quick to act. He loves to write disastrous scripts for our lives, play them in fast forward, making us fear all the things we might miss. Graduations, weddings, grandbabies. The devil loves to get in our head and magnify things to scare us. And then, he likes to throw us into a tailspin of emotions like a hurricane, only to spit us out in a pile of rubble after the storm. His goal being to throw us off the path the Lord has for us.
And here’s the HOW!
Well, let me tell you friends….that ain’t happening for those who BELIEVE and put their trust in HIM! Her song says, “I put it all in your hands, you won’t leave me hanging.” Those words so resonated with me. If I do my part (put it ALL IN HIS HANDS), He won’t leave me hanging. Makes perfect sense if you think about it. He already did the hanging. He hung on the cross in MY place so that HE COULD say “TETELISTI,” it is finished. Cancer is finished, addiction is finished, HIV is finished, diabetes is finished, and the list goes on. Isaiah 53:5 says, By HIS wounds we are healed.
So today the devil said “be scared” and I chose to say “I AM FEARLESS!” He said “you are weak” and I chose to say, “I AM STRONG!” He said “the medicine is gonna make you sick” I chose to say “IT’S MAKING ME WELL!” And no, I don’t think it’s literally the medicine that will make me well. I start IMMUNOTHERAPY today, and I love that it’s my immune system that will eradicate the cancer cells. My hope is not in the therapy but in the fact that I know the ONE who created my immune system, and I have no doubt that those cancer cells are running scared!
I love and serve a GOD who WANTS ME WELL. He was beaten, crucified, hung on the cross and died so that I COULD BE MADE WELL. For HIS GLORY and in HIS TIMING! Whatever that looks like, I choose to trust and say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!
He is MY HEALER, HE IS BIGGER, HE IS ABLE and I’M BELIEVING HIM!!!
