Not just something we "Believe"

I just had an urgency in my spirit today to share with our readers that the healing we speak over Jake is NOT just something TO beleive. It is WHAT we believe!! You see, we KNOW that the Lord has a BIG plan for Jake, and that plan involves God's Glory! Jake will grow up knowing the limitations that are placed on him by doctors. He will grow up knowing what the doctors say he can and can't do. He will also grow up having a deeper and closer relatioship with the Lord because he will have a dependency on Him that is different than any other "normal" child. I believe with ALL MY HEART that we WILL see Jake healed. I don't believe it will be in infancy, I don't even think it will be as a toddler. I believe that his healing will come when Jake is at an age where he can experience and understand his limitations, and thus experience and understand the gift of his healing that much more. I believe the Lord wants Jake to be a participant in this journey of his ultimate healing. It is actually my hope that Jake will be the one to approach Gerald and I one day and tell us he's been healed. At that time we will have the doctors recheck that gene. What a celebration that will take place at that time! I know that until that day comes we are going to have our fair share of ups and downs. We will have our battles raising a little boy that, for now, can't do all the things little boys do. We will also have the challenge of raising him up in a way that HE knows the promises of the Lord. That HE understands that God is GOOD. The HE understands that God is his ultimate physician. For now we will just rest in the presence of our Lord and on HIS promises to keep Jake safe, to hold him in the palm of HIS hand. I am so thankful that we have a God that will walk this journey with us. I can't imagine living this challenge without being able to take hold of the hand of our Lord and Savior and trust HIM in all things.

Malachi 4:2-3
2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.
~This will be Jake running and jumping as he was told he couldn't do!!~

Acts 3:16
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.
~It will be so, as Jake grows his faith in the one who will give him complete healing for all to see~

Exodus 15:26
26. He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
~Lord, help us to do what is right in your eyes, and pay attention to Your commands. Help us to remain solid on YOUR promises and to trust in YOU.~

Again, I just want to reitterate... we are not just grasping at straws here, hoping this will come to pass. We are grabbing hold of HIS WORD and HIS PROMISES. You are right that for whatever reason, the Lord doesn't always choose to heal people on this side of heaven. We truly believe with all our heart that HE WILL heal Jake for all to see. Jake will do things in the name of the Lord that we are told now he should never do.
Also don't beleive that we are ignorant that these words and this promise will not always be easy to hold onto. The fact that Jake is here is a miracle within itself. He was a 4 1/2 year wait. In those 4 1/2 years we had moments of complete and unshakable faith. We also had moments of, Will God really come through on His promise to give us children? We are human, with real human emotions that get the best of us sometimes. We will still question why, and get tired of waiting, but ultimately I know with the support of our friends and family and with our relationship with Our Heavenly Father, we will ALWAYS come back around to HIS Promises that are GOOD and TRUE. You see, our Lord HAS to follow through on His promises... He's God!
