Faith

Wow it has been quite a day. The doctors told us that they felt Kurt was getting somewhat worse because he had lost his gag reflex, his reflexes in his arms and it was diminishing in his feet and legs too.

We on the other hand had heard from "The Great Physician".
Last night Jerry slept at the Ronald McDonald House and the kids and I took turns between Kurt's room and the lounges.

This morning Jerry shared with me the verses that God had given him: Psalm 118:17-18 "I will not die but live and declare the deeds of the Lord. The Lord chastised me harshly, but did not hand me over to death." The verses are awesome and what's more? They are the exact verses God gave to me this morning before I saw Jerry. Later this afternoon, Pastor Paul Sewell (a friend of ours) came down and pulled some notecards out of his pocket. He said"these are some verses God gave me this morning: "Psalm 118:17-18"

HALLELUJAH We believe in God's Awesome Healing Power and we are believing these verses for Kurt's life. We are holding onto the promises of the Almighty God who created Kurt. He is going to be healed and be a living testimony to our God. Please pray these verses with us, inserting Kurt's name: "Kurt will NOT die but live and declare the deeds of the Lord. The Lord chastised me harshly but did NOT hand Kurt over to death." I am not putting the drs. down. They are smart and sharing their knowledge with us, but we still believe that God answers prayer and the maker of this universe has the power over sin and death. Praise God. Thank you again for standing with us; and for all of your support.
Jerry, Anna, Daniel Kaisa and Kurt God Bless You

My daughter Becky and I were praying for Kurt Monday night the 10th and Becky received the same verse, Psalm 118: 17. We were amazed when we heard the same word was received by the 3 of you as well. She kept repeating the verse over and over, I will not die but I will live and declare the works of God. Praise God!!! We love you all, and as much as we all do, The Lord loves all of you and Kurt even more. We cannot even fathom how deep and wide His love for us is. But as it says in Ephesians 3:16-21----that out of his glorious unlimited resources he will give you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God's children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself. Now glory be to God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of-infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.May he be given glory for ever and ever through endless ages because of his master plan of salvation for the Church through Jesus Christ.
