Overcomer

Well, my hair started to fall out a little today, but only a little.  Again, I'm just praying that it hangs in there until my Gracie gets home, which is tomorrow!!  I can hardly wait to see her and Michael.  We have missed them so much. 

I was reading the Bible the other night, and I came across Philippians 2:10-11 "So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  I have debated sharing the thoughts that went through my mind after reading this verse, because I might sound like a nutcase to some.  But I really want to share it anyway, because it has really fired me up, and maybe it will fire you up too!!  I read the verses over and over...every tongue confess, in heaven, on earth, under the earth, every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of the Father.  And then I thought about how I have been claiming and professing the truth and power of God's Word, and believing His promises are true, and all for the glory of God.  But then it hit me, and I said out loud, "cancer, you have to speak yourself and confess that Jesus is Lord!  The Bible says every tongue, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.  Guess what cancer, that includes you!  Jesus is my Lord, and through him, I am saved and I am healed!  Even though you want to destroy my life, and you want to defeat me, you can not and will not!!  The Bible says every tongue will confess, so you will speak my Jesus is Lord and Savior, and you will see my healing, and you will flee from me!!!"  I got so fired up, and I still am!!  And really, this truth applies to cancer, depression, anxiety, fear, insecurity, and whatever else from the enemy that tries to rise up and steal, kill, and destroy all that God has for us.  Why are we always so worried, and on the defense, and trying to just survive.  We as Christians have been graciously given a better way, and a better life than that.  Jesus took the offense, and he overcame the world and the devil.  There's a song that my sister-in-law shared with me recently, and it says "We will overcome, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony!!"  So no matter what comes to me in this life, whatever my lot, I will overcome, I have overcome!!  I'm still just a little fired up if you can't tell!  :O)
