Salvation Wednesday 9/7/16 Fear Not

Dear Father in Heaven: Thanks for another day here on this earth that You made so wonderful. Please forgive me of any sins I made, thank You for that. Please, Lord, help me with this message and help me please to get it dispatched. Please, Lord, help us work each day for You and to bring in the lost, not just on one day we call Salvation Wednesday. Please heal Bob of cancer, and Lord, thanks for healing me of cancer.  Father, please protect the United States as we come to another 9/11 as it will be 15 years since the attack and some folks are forgetting. In Jesus' Name, I give praise and pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, September, among other things, is Prostate Awareness Month. So today, ladies, my message might be slanted somewhat toward men. However, ladies, if you have a man or men in your life, tell them to fear not. Yes, ladies might have more than one man in their life. Examples, husband, father, sons, nephews. Please keep praying for our nation as we approach 9/11/2016, the 15th anniversary since the bombings using our airplanes.

Salvation Wednesday: September 7, 2016: Fear Not

Hebrews 13:5 - Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

Hebrews 13:6 - So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" (NIV)

Just a reminder to those who think the scripture is only for the past. Well, think again and remember this please.

Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (NIV)

Men!!! Ladies need to go through so much in life and even those who have not had children still have those internal tests called pap smears. And those who have had children, well, may I say this, men, if we had to have the children, the population would have ended long ago.  So men, fear not, just go and get the tests done to be sure you do not have prostate problems. Get your exams and be sure the doctor takes blood and checks those PSA levels. That needle put in your arm to pull out blood is just a little stick, so FEAR NOT of that small pinch. Also men, FEAR NOT of that other test when the doctor tells you to "bend over the table," just hold on and breathe deeply. I asked my doctor one time, "did he enjoy doing that part of an exam." His answer was "only when he checks his brother."

One thing you can do is pray, pray for the test to go well and pray you do not have any signs of cancer. Please, men, get this done, and if you are indeed a black man or have black men in your life, please note your chances of getting prostate cancer are 61% higher than we who are white. Also, family history of prostate cancer could mean more risk, so I will be sure our sons get this message.

I pray that all of you, men and women, still believe God heals. Why some get healed and others don't, I don't know, but I do know this, Prayer Helps, and God hears our prayers. I want to tell all of you this. Years ago when my family doctor told me that my PSA level was up in a danger zone and I could have cancer, he referred me to a urologist and I picked a doctor named Emmerson Knight, now retired. I did not mess around and made the appointment right away, but that took time. Of course it took time to get the next appointment where they make that big test to check that prostate. Men, this one hurts, so breathe deeply.  Anyway, cancer was confirmed, but before it was confirmed, we already started storming heaven with prayers, and God was hearing the prayers. I talked to my doctor and told him I think God is already working on healing me, please do another PSA. He did and my PSA number was already down to 3.9, and it was something over 7 when I was told I had cancer. Still after talking it over with Dolores, we felt it wold be best to get some radiation treatments. This all happened years ago when we were still doing Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Allenberry Playhouse. I remember how the place  giving the treatments opened early so I could get in and out and still go to Allenberry. Yes, Santa took those treatments, 40 of them if I recall in a Santa suit. All glory and honor to God for this date my PSA numbers have been like .003. I had no side effects on the radiation treatments and never missed a call at Allenberry. Again, all glory to God.

So men, PLEASE FEAR NOT!!! Please look at the part of the scripture where it tells us, "The Lord is my helper; I will NOT BE AFRAID." And for my dear friend Robert Coburn, I ask all of you to flood heaven with his name  to be healed. Put it on any prayer list that you know of, let God hear from all of us. And while you are at it, please pray for a cure for all cancer.

So men,  when you hear your doctor say "bend over," remember these words, "FEAR NOT," for our Lord God is with you and through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit  you can be healed.

Now go to your Bibles and read James 5:13/16. It is the prayer of faith.

Now go forth and serve Jesus. Love ya.
