This past week I was at a conference at Bethel Church in Redding California with the Anthem students. The last morning we were there a man came up to share his testimony about how God had healed him completely of his lung cancer. This man was given 3 months to live and his doctor couldn’t do anything for him except take him to Bethel to be prayed over at a conference. While he was there, the Lord told him to rest. He said it was something he just didn’t know how to do. He is a type A personality and resting was just not in his vocabulary. After being prayed over by someone at the church, the Lord told them the same thing he told the man….he needed to rest. As he has rested in the Lord, waiting on the Lord to bring healing to his body….God has done just that. The man is completely cancer free.
I moved to Medford almost three weeks ago! Since I have been here the Lord has spoken to me many times about the same word the man at Bethel received. I need to REST. I am also a type A personality….and resting is also not in my vocab. I completely desire to do what the Lord has asked of me, so this learning how to rest
is a process.
Medford has been so amazing. I moved to Medford without a job, but the Lord told me to go. Not having a job has been part of the learning to rest. I have been able to completely jump into helping with Anthem, the ministry I am helping with at Living Waters. Instead of going, going, going all the time, I am learning to hear God’s voice and only do what he is asking of me. I have been praying all the time about where does the Lord want me to get a job and when….but I just keep hearing rest. I don’t have any control of my life….it is all in His hands! I know that when it is time to find a job, he will tell me when and where. He has a plan and I desire his will to be done, not my own!
God has been blessing me so much through this time of rest. I have released all control and in this God has taken care of all my needs….from my financial needs to my emotional needs. My church family in La Grande blessed me more than I could have ever asked by sending me off with a wonderful love offering. My new church family here in Medford has been so loving and just opened up their arms and welcomed me in. God knows my needs better than I do, so there is no better place than to rest in Him.
As I start this new chapter in my life, I ask that you will be praying for me as I grow closer to the Lord every day and learn to rest in Him alone. I am really enjoying the new adventure I am on and I am looking forward to the Lord showing me more of him everyday.
