Every day around the world, people are healed against all odds.  On the flip side, people die unexpectedly all the time.  Some seem to sail through life with few illnesses and it would seem a high tolerance for pain.  Christians can not agree on just when God heals.  No matter what I think or feel at the moment, I always go back to one thing...  Jesus did not fail.  If he said he was healing someone, he healed them.  I recently heard someone tell me that Jesus suffered, so why shouldn't we?  But where in scripture did it say that Jesus lacked anything physically or that he was sick?  NO PLACE.  Jesus purposely gave up all earthly possessions in order to try the hearts of men.  That's what it was all about when he said that wherever he and his disciples went, the people were to take care of them for the days he was there.  If they did not, they were to shake the dust off their feet.  A complete and thorough reading of the scriptures would reveal that Jesus never lacked and he reminded his own disciples that their clothing and shoes never wore out in the 3 years they were with Jesus.  The gifts given to Jesus at birth were worth the equivalent to thousands and maybe even millions of dollars by today's standards.  Jesus ministry was well financed.  Why else would they have needed a treasurer?  It was also revealed in scripture that they gave money to the poor.  Jesus fed the poor, healed the poor, and the poor & rich a like opened their homes to Jesus.  If they didn't, they will pay for their  failures in eternity.

So...  my feet hurt, my ears ring, and I get very tired.  BUT, my sciatica is healed, I am more awake than I have been in years, I sleep better than I have in years, and I can sleep on my back for the first time in 15 or more years maybe.  I don't remember when it got so bad.  But I am at least 80% or more better than I was when I started this journey.

Today I am believing for my cat.  My cat has either an intestinal blockage, or a bladder infection.  He did pass urine this morning.  He has not had a bm.  He strains over the litter box.  So I am treating him for both and keeping him by himself so he's not sharing a box.  I'll do my part and I know that Jesus will do his.  I could take him to the vet I know.  But truthfully, it's taken me the whole year to reduce my massive debt by 3000.  At this rate, it will take me 12 years to get out of debt!  I don't want to let one vet bill set me back that far.  2 years ago some veterinarians charged me 1000 for 3 visits for my dog.  They wanted to keep me coming back and I figured out they would have gotten about 4000 per year out of me if I let them.  I learned how to treat him at home.  The word also promises that we can pray for wisdom.  I open my mind and heart to the Lord's instructions.
