Praying fervently for all of you and the staff...you have so been on my heart all week, now I know why...sending loads of love and hugs. You and Rick are more than conquerors and Rick will be completely healed. God does not call the equipped, rather He equips the called Crystal, and He has equipped you for this battle, Armor Up (Ephesians 6:10-18) Well, I am just going to pray it over you now for you and your family (we do this every morning...we wouldn't go outside without our clothes on so neither should we ever start a day without our spiritual clothing (armor) )<br /><br />Dear Lord, I stand in the gap for my dear friend Crystal, her husband Rick, their children--Riley and Cade, their caretakers: Stan, Raquel, Tess, and Addison, and all of their family members...I put on the whole armor of God in the name of Jesus, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the girdle of truth, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, the shoes of peace, the left hand the shield of Faith to believe all things, the right hand the sword of the Spirit--the Word of God. I apply the blood of Jesus over all these precious people. I bind up the strongman in their lives and ask the Holy Spirit and ministering angels to meet all of their needs. I bind them to you Jesus and loose away all things not of you Lord. I place a wall of fire of protection around all of them. I speak Your blessings over them. We praise your Holy name Lord...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus...we are yours. We love you...Amen.<br /><br />Crystal, as I was praying and typing, I felt the need to encourage you to diligently put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness...when you are unable to be in direct contact with Rick and feel lonely and almost helpless, call upon Jesus, the name above all names, He is our Jehovah-Jireh---our provider...listen to praise and worship music, it will lift your spirit, claim, "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 I know you are soaring again, when you have time read the verses in front of 31, focusing on 28-29...and as many on this site have quoted and He promises in Deuteronomy 31:8---"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." We are reminded in Matthew 11:28 Jesus said, "Come to me all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Emmanuel (God with us) is your safe resting place, your alone quiet times are significant now, rest in Him. Read Matthew 7:7-8. All throughout Matthew, Jesus is teaching and healing...just know Crystal that because of your faith, it will happen, He says so!!!<br /><br />Wishing I could be there to hug you, but even more than that I am high-fiving you as you recharge and press on. "I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength." Phil. 4:13.<br /><br />On a technical note, I have attempted several times to post the Rathgeber Hospitality House Newsletter several times...if my tutor cannot provide technical support soon, I am just going to type it as a post if that is okay with you. I think it is an awesome attribute to you and Rick, your faith and perseverence, your committed marriage, and the miracle of Rick's life...a living testimony to all of us. Thank you Crystal for turning this test into such an inspiring testimony. We all love you and pray for you continually. Sorry I got a little long winded tonight, I will call soon so you don't have to read a book each time!!!ronda thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911420433063583058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703149860300416562.post-5223213971664823942009-10-14T23:09:43.971-05:002009-10-14T23:09:43.971-05:00AMENAMENshelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788215365307220576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703149860300416562.post-30807271954101871742009-10-14T22:15:31.385-05:002009-10-14T22:15:31.385-05:00Crystal,
Well, sounds like things are a little ...Crystal,<br /> Well, sounds like things are a little better. I certainly hope things are better so you will feel better about the whole situation.<br />I know how frustrating things can be, I have had first hand experience with some of that<br />headache before. From your message, Rick sounds better also and is doing a little better all the time. I believe things will level off now and they will get down to business since they have figured out you are not going to be pranked with or jerked around.<br />Just always remember, keep your eyes on the prize, onward and upward, God is not going to forsake you, he gave his Son that we would have life and have it more abundantly. God Bless you and guide you through all, all, all things! In the name of Jesus, Amen<br />Later, Rickrickvandiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379622209240419909noreply@blogger.com
