Today’s Scripture “For it is God that works in you both
to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13)
God Works – In You
Dear One, As a little girl growing up in Eastern Kentucky, I saw an elderly man who had a huge purple growth on one side of his face. It looked like a big purple eggplant on his face. I remember hearing that doctors wouldn’t and couldn’t doctor it. After examinations, they said that he would live longer if they just left this growth alone. My Daddy told me that this man went to many healing meetings, because he believed in Divine healing. Healing Evangelists laid hands on him — anointed him with oil and many people prayed. I remember one day my Daddy saying to me — “ROSE I notice that the growth has begun to shrivel.” And from time to time, I could easily see that it was shrinking. I watched this thing in two months go down smaller and smaller. One day, this sweet mans face was clear. Every bit of that tumor growth was gone, and all the skin on his face looked like tender new babies skin! I heard my Daddy ask him about it. This man said — “Wade, I have been reading my Bible in Philippians 2:13. Every morning when I first look in the mirror, I lay my hands on that growth and say — ‘God, it is Your will to work and do Your good pleasure in me in Philippians 2:13 and I say so with You LORD. I praise You LORD for working in my spirit — and for working healing in my body on my face.’” This sweet man told my Daddy that he had kept saying what God says every day for weeks. And soon he saw that growth was shrinking, shriveling up! And then disappear. Let’s understand here — God never singles out just one person to bless only them. This man read God’s Word out loud — heard the Word he read — believed (agreed and acted on) that precious Word for himself. He then received the fullest manifestations from God of what His powerful love and Word said. I see God mightily moving over and over! I can guarantee, when you work with God — God works in you! In Jesus’ Name,
