My Gift From God...

As I sit here typing before 5am I am thinking of my wife and how blessed I am. She has always been there for me. She is a loving mother and grandmother who would do anything for her family. She takes care of the home, cleans like nobody I know and works until she is ready to physically drop. But now she is in pain, she has many health problems that the doctors say there is no cure. It breaks my heart.  She has recently had to quit her job and I am glad she could. You would not know by looking at her that anything is wrong but I see her suffer. Please pray for her.

God I ask you to intervene.

Thank you for your prayers...

Jesus said to an olive tree that it would bear no fruit. Nothing happened right away. On the outside it still looked like an olive tree but on the inside it was dead at the root. By faith Peter could heal with his shadow. I have personally seen God's healing hand. I am no better than your wife and God does not play favorites.

So I pray that you would feel God's presence. That you are rested to fight the enemy. That you arm your self and your wife for battle with the armour of God. Your wife was made whole by God. Your wife IS well - you are fighting the enemy's sickness.

Please pray with me. We bind sickness at the root and send it back to the pits of hell where it belongs. We plead the blood of Jesus over your family and place God's loving hedge of protection around you. We pray God's wisdom over any doctors, technicians - whomever may come into contact with your wife. We pray God's unprecedented favor over you, your home and finances. We confess with our hearts your wife IS well.

Your wife is good, kind and giving. All the things the enemy wants to destroy. Trust in God. Know that this is a valley. We go through the valley no matter how dark or how hard we go through. The success comes in trusting in the Lord with all your heart He will direct your path. If you let Him...

Favor... Blessings... Increase... Something Big is Coming... May the Glory go to God!!!

I like your blog very much. The time and care you give to it is obvious. Your words speak to me without preaching. So thank you.

As far as the health and well-being of your wife goes, I think our body builds up a lot of mileage over the years and things on the inside start to rattle a bit. Our God can see precisely what ails us, as well as put His healing hands on the exact place.

So be encouraged, both of you. And be healed. Tell your wife to "get up and go" as if nothing is wrong and that spirit of pain will get so bored, it'll just pack up and leave.

Donovan said...

Y Watts,

Thank you for the encouragement! God Bless you...

Donovan said...

Carla my wife, I love you! I try to tell you often but I still don't do it enough. I tell you publicly on places like facebook because I want the world to know how much you mean to me and I want you to know my love is true. God forgive me for my shortcomings and help me to be the kind of loving husband you need especially now that you are in so much pain. You truly are and have always been my gift from God.

Don't worry about using the translator. I understand the translation often does not come out just right. I appreciate your comment. My wife needs prayers.

God bless you!

Hey, I'm back. I am very concerned. You say there is no cure, but you haven't given it a name for us to pray for. You see, from my experience you expose the ev(ill) spirit by calling it out into the light so to speak...Legion was called out and exposed for what it was and left the man in the tombs in his right mind, remember (don't mean to give you a bible lesson). I just know that if you and your wife will agree in prayer by calling this dark, hidden, health problem out BY IT'S NAME and renounce it's authority in the name of Jesus Christ that it will evict itself. Believe God and watch Him work a work that will stun those "no cure" doctors!

Donovan said...

Y Watts,

I do believe in satan's power and in God's healing but unless we can be absolutely certain the cause of a mental or physical illness is demonic, it would be wise to ask God for guidance first before giving satan credit for all sickness. (James 5:14-15). We do live in a world of sin and because of Adam's sins we get sick but I believe it goes further than that. Sometimes God allows us to go through the valley to make us stronger. Only He is God and only He understands what He is doing.

God bless and thank you for your encouragement and prayers. If you believe this is satan at his best then call him out and tell him to stop hiding behind his fallen angels. One thing I do believe is you can not serve two masters. If God is in you, satan can not be. My wife is a Christian, sold out to the Lord. If her sickness is demonic in nature then it is being caused by satan on the outside. In the name of Jesus he must flee!

Hi, You do not know me, but I came across your blog. I have read your loving words about your wife and her health issues. My prayers are with you and your family. I have Lupus and MS and I know how important the power of prayer is. If I did not have my faith in the Lord, the love and support of my family, and friends, I do not know how I could go on. I have been living with chronic illness for over 10 years and also if you did not know me, you would never know the pain and suffering I have. But that is part of these invisible illnesses. You look well from the outside but that is not what is going on inside. My love of Christ and his angels which I know are all around me give me strength everyday. I do hope that your wife is doing well, as I see it has been a year since someone commented on this post. God be with you all, Peace, Dottie

Donovan said...

Dottie,

Thank you for your post and encouragement. I appreciate your prayers and I will pray for you too. My wife's condition has not improved in fact it has gotten worse. We are hopeful that God will intervene and take away her pain.
