I want to scream YES, YES, YES, to your guest today. I am a power wheelchair user from a spinal cord tumor at the base of the brain stem. The chronic pain I was left in is far worse than my disability. But, yes, God's will not mine! I have been healed from being a complete quadriplegic on a respirator, and I will be healed completely when I go to heaven. My job is to joyfully live for Jesus and reflect His glory in the way I live. Pointing people to Him and sharing truth with everyone. God is good in all things. This crucible prepared me to have my husband of 46 years leave me for his transition to heaven 18 months ago. Jesus has carried me through every day. He is forever faithful!!!
Elephants have a sharp mind a soft heart and thick skin. 😊
Thank you for this episode! I watched with my 19yo daughter who also has Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome, and watching Rebekah talk was like watching an older version of my daughter. I’m so encouraged by their mindsets and the way they have their focus on eternity.
My heart needed to hear this. I too am an introvert. Pray I can be a good elephant.
My Faith to share the Gospel got stronger after watching this episode
On the bit about prayer, I liked that it was an act of obedience - but also God is outside of time. So your prayers have been heard and known since the beginning of time.
Alisa, when you said I’m afraid to pray the “whatever it takes” prayer resonates so much. I have an amazing husband who is a non-believer but im afraid to say “please do whatever it takes for him to come to you.” I feel guilty and faithless about it but what you said was true and helped me feel not alone
I watched my mom's ministry field move as hee life changed through the years with her praying for her hospice nurse's son on drugs after their first meeting.
Wow, I just got an idea.
"I can be SALT AND LIGHT because of the gift God gave me"
My grandmother would take a plate of cookies to new neighbors and ask, "Do you know my Jesus?" This was years ago, and my dad saw and heard her do this. I think He let's us participate
I have to write again because I really resonate with the people praying healing over me every week and then wondering why I’m not better the next week! It was so infuriating because I could accept (more on some days than others) that God had willed our family to walk through the chronic illness fire. He was working his perfect will through our weaknesses. He was using our family as a testimony to others, Christian’s and medical personnel and others going through similar issues. And we are honored to be instruments of His purpose, but His grace we place our hope in Jesus! Thank you!!
Great conversation. Very encouraging. Thank you for sharing!
I have talked to someone like myself that has physical problems that don't show. We felt that it is an advantage to have a disability that shows. No one sees the pain that we are in and expects us to be like a normal person and expects the same amount of effort.
When sharing Christ with others... it's good to keep these 3 things in mind...
My daughter and I have Ehlers Danlos, and some other diseases, I’ve had over 15 surgeries and chronic pain. I have also grieved the loss of my “normal life”. More than that I’ve had to see my daughter suffer with some of the most severe elements of this and other issues. Without Jesus, and being able to lean on Him, I’d be lost. I firmly believe he allows this so I would slow down from my 120% in everything from raising and homeschooling four kids to ministry, etc…..to just slow down and spend time with God, and use it as a testimony, and of course disciple my kids. There’s so much more nuance than I could share here……thank you for this wonderful conversation, affirmation and continually helping me to think critically, and pointing me to God.
Thank you for this message! I know folks that believe that it is God's will for every person to be healed and they do not want to hear anything else. Thank you!
Yes, as God wants us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, strength, and our neighbor, I like to pray for others in every area of their life: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.❤
So wonderful and nourishing to listen to this today. Thank you.
Nicely done! I appreciated the clarity that your guest offered that God does heal, sometimes in stages, and sometimes He does not, and our assignment on earth suddenly takes a life-changing turn. It was interesting how you felt about the man in the restaurant asking everyone to join him in prayer. Something to think about.
