A little piece

My husband gave me a book like two weeks ago; I found it very, very good and interesting and during the time that I was at the hospital with Craig, there were some parts from it, that really touched my heart. Maybe that's the only reason for which I am going to share with you a little piece from it. It's call: "The final quest by Rick Joyner" and I encourage you to read it.

"Thought you love all of your children, you would be grieved for the one who was sick or wounded. He, too, loves all of His children, but the wounded and oppressed have most of His attention now" (Page 62)

For His sake we must not quit until all have been recovered. As long as any are wounded, He is wounded" (Page 63)

"Spiritual maturity is always determined by our willingness to sacrifice our own desires for the interests of the kingdom, or for sake of others. The door that requires the most sacrifice to enter will always take us to a highest level" (Page 66)

"God has a different definition of peace and safety that we do. To be wounded in the fight is a great honor. It's by the Lord's stripes that we are healed, and it is through our stripes that we, too, are given the authority for healing. In the very place that the enemy wounds us, once we are healed, we are giving the power to heal others. Healing was a basic part of the Lord's ministry, and it is also a basic part for ours. That is one reason why the Lord allows bad things to happen to His people, so that they can receive the compassion for other by which the power of healing operates. That is why the apostle Paul told of his beating and stonings when his authority was questioned. Every wound, every bad thing that happen to us, can be turned into the authority to do good. Every beating that the great apostle took resulted in salvation for others being saved, healed, or restored." (Page 79)

"Every truth from God leads to an even greater peace and security. Even the judgments of God are to be desired, because all of His ways are perfect.
By now I had experienced enough to know that what seems right is usually the least faithful path, and often the road to failure. Throughout my journey, the path of greater risk was the path that lead to the greatest reward.
The only true security came from continually moving forward into the realms that required more faith, which was more dependence on the Lord.
Yes, it takes more faith to walk the higher realms of the Spirit" (Page 83)

There is more, but this is just a little taste of it; I encourage you to read it. You'll find more on it!

  1. Yadith I just heard a womans story and I felt that I needed to tell you about her book. I haven't read it but I think that you should. I see from this post that you just read a book and probably are not in the mood to dive into another one that sounds very similar to the one you just read, but I encourage you to pick it up anyway. I wonder if it is really important for you to read these books in order to learn all of the scripture dealing with healing wether for yourself or to pass on to others on your mission trips. I don't know but I pray to God that he heals you of this cancer and uses this struggle to help many others. The book is called "Hear My Cry" by: Tish Hagee Tucker <3
