Needs

Three

I have an email I need to acknowledge.

We got some really good news the other day, and I have still been trying to gather my thoughts to send an email to everyone.
Mom had a colonoscopy on Nov. 3, it went wonderfully-the cancer had not spread to her colon, only one small polyp that the doctor felt sure would be benign when it came back from pathology, and a very mild case of diverticulosis which can be managed with more fiber, and bleeding internal hemorrhoids causing her anemia.
This week on Monday Nov. 9, we went to see her radiation oncologist. She examined mom and said that the cervix was pink, healthy and soft. The tumors were getting very small. We told her that we gave the credit and the Glory to the Lord.
So that’s all we know for now.
Just keep us in your prayers.

That’s from Heather.

Also, reader N5 has mentioned his desire to get help getting off booze. He is interested in finding a church in his area. My pastor has been looking for one to recommend, but he’s so busy he barely has time to breathe right now. Maybe some of you would like to hold N5 up in prayer.

If it were me, I’d spend at least a day in fasting and prayer, and I’d repent of addiction on my own behalf and that of my family. And I’d cast it out. Jesus said fasting and prayer would enable us to cast out demons in his name.

Another reader wants prayer for an employment problem, but he hasn’t given me permission to mention his name or Internet handle yet. I have a feeling God will know who you’re referring to if you pray for him.

    Thanks Steve, I was afraid you hadn’t gotten my email.
    We aren’t out of the woods or cancer-free yet but things are going in the right direction. God is so good.
    Still praying for your family.

    Hi Steve; You may mention to N5 if he can find a Reformers Unanimous meeting in his area, it could be helpful to him.
