I AM an OVERCOMER

As I sit here typing this blog, I am reminded of the pain and agony that God has already delivered me from physically. June of 2011 through May of 2012 was indeed the hardest time physically for me, BUT GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH...HE ALLOWED ME TO OVERCOME. 

I must remind myself of this fact as the rash on my right leg triples in size, my ankles once again swell, the joints in my hands and ankles ache, and as more rashes appear on my left leg. I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH. 

I must remind myself that it doesn't matter what it looks like, it doesn't matter how I feel, it doesn't matter what the blood work shows, it doesn't even matter what I hear myself say...I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

One of the things that I worry about the most is God getting His glory; I don't want anything or anyone to tarnish the fact that on December 25, 2011, God, in a still, small voice said to me, " if you want your healing, stand up." This statement didn't make sense because at the time I could barely move; it hurt to clap my hands, it hurt to stand BUT I STOOD UP ON FAITH...I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

On that day I was able to stand, clap, walk, and jump, AFTER I STOOD UP IN FAITH.

Now the pain returned  the next day, and I once again was unable to walk or stand for long periods of time, but on May 31, 2012, I stopped taking all of my medications cold turkey, and once again STOOD UP ON FAITH. Through detoxing and much prayer AND FAITH, I OVERCAME, GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

I was once again able to live life better than I had ever remembered living it before - no pain, no rashes, no swelling; looking and feeling GREAT! I HAD OVERCOME! GOD HAD BROUGHT ME THROUGH!

So, maybe God is calling me to once again stand up on faith...recognizing NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, AND THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN (Hebrews 11:1).  I don't care what it looks like or how things appear to be, I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH...again!

God revealed to me sometime ago that our greatest blessing sometimes comes in the midst or after our greatest obstacle. I KNOW that my Greater is coming and that this obstacle is going to bear a great blessing.

I AM AN OVERCOMER, AND GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

So with that being said, I am going to stand on God's Word, stand on His Promises, and believe what He told me.

I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD HAS BROUGHT ME THROUGH.

He didn't bring me this far to leave me...

Say it with me now...I AM AN OVERCOMER, GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH.

Be blessed
