ONLY JESUS, FACE TO FACE WITH DAVID CAN BRING THE MIRACLE NEEDED

I am quite familiar with the story in the bible when a man paralyzed from birth had some friends take him to where Jesus was teaching and healing the sick. They tried to get in the door but could not, tried the back door and a few windows bit still could not get in. The crowd was just to big and nobody would give up their spot in line to see Jesus. Have you ever been there? In the store with only 1 or 2 items and the person in front of you with a full cart wouldn't even make eye contact with you, knowing that they just might have to do the "right thing" and let you go ahead of them. Well this guys friends were not going to give up that easy. They walked a long way carrying this guy and they were not going to leave without the healing they came for. So what did they do? They handed the whole stretcher with the guy on it up onto the roof. They dragged it up to the top, just above where Jesus was inside. They started peeling the thatched roof away making a hole big enough to lower this guy, stretcher and all down past the people in front and plop! There he was, face to face with Jesus, all full of debris from the roof I imagine, and the people yea think about the people that were getting pummeled by debris as they tore the roof apart falling on their heads and making them run for cover. Well let me tell you, the extra effort, and labor of love that got this guy to Jesus paid off, HE GOT HIS HEALING!!!!!
     I say all of this and reflect on Gods power to heal because we just got a call from Angie Lara, Davids wife. There is nothing that medical science can do to heal David of this foul cancer. They have given him two weeks and are sending him home to die. Now as sad as I am at the prospect of loosing David, I look at all the love that has been poured out on him and his family. I look at all the prayers that were offered up on his behalf, I look at the efforts that people have gone to to help him and his family. Well we did all that we could, and now it's face to face time with Jesus. Yep, David and Jesus. Its where God wants us all to be anyhow isn't it? Totally dependent on Jesus. IF GOD HEALS HIM, HE WINS!!!!! IF GOD DOES NOT HEAL HIM.  HE WINS!!!! We loose a great man, husband, father, brother son,and we think we loose so much, but in reality TO LIVE IS CHRIST, AND TO DIE IS GREAT GAIN. THATS THE HOPE WE HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS. SO COME ON GOD, HEAL HIM, BUT NEVER THE LESS, NOT MY, BUT THY WILL BE DONE!!!!
