My list is long ….but i’ll just list the first thing I’m grateful for and explain.
First of all I’m grateful to God for His word. * Its tried, its true and yes…it’ll try you. Once the word is planted, like the parable of the sower indicates, there might be a shaking, a storm…anything to cause the word not to take root. If you give up, the word and its attendant effect sadly goes away but if you hold on tight and refuse to uproot your plant because of impatience…its sure to take root and then grow big and strong and uprootable and then after a while the Harvest! Awesome process…simple too once you understand.
*An application? Yeah….!
*Its possible to hear the word at church or just watching TV on Health and healing. It is the will of God to heal and its in the Word of God because it says in IPet 2:24..by whose stripes ye were healed. Suddenly it comes alive in your heart and you are excited because you’ve been trusting God for healing. You rejoice and thank God because the verse is in the ‘past’ tense and you realise its a done deal. He did it and all you have to do is thank Him for it.
*Fast forward to day 2 after hearing the sermon. A new symptom comes out of the blues and you are like ‘What?, where did this come from? You remember the sermon but not that verse you held on too. Hmmm what did it say? what did it mean. I am healed, but why this pain, and the DOUBT just overwhelms you.

*The problem: Instead of getting home and reading the word and asking God to reveal the truth of that scripture and get grounded in it and developing roots in yourself, you rejoiced and forgot. When the cares of this life, the pressures of life came you were like a man who built his house on the sand and the storm washed it away.

*The solution: Hear the word. Go back and diligently study and MEDITATE on the word received. Meditation allows the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning of that verse to you at that time and enables you to UNDERSTAND and KNOW. Gods word says “my people perish for lack of knowlege”. Knowledge comes with experience and the storm is not supposed to make you fall down but make you stand and test what you have learnt. Look at it as the examination for that particular word you know.

*I’m learning daily and haven understood the above, I can smile when shaking comes because I’m positive and sure that Gods word is true and certain and cannot fail. So when there’s a shaking, I can smile because I know all I have to do is ‘restate’ what I know to be true and instead of looking at the storm – keeping my eyes on His word.

*We have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roll, fastened to the rock which cannot move, Grounded firm and deep in the Saviours love. – Priscilla Owens 1882
