Ask and you shall receive

Well God did it! I got my test results back (the source of my impatience)and there were no traces of cancer in my bone marrow and the PET scan reveled that there were no other tumors in my body! I am stoked. I got the call this morning from my oncology doc and just seeing the UNKNOWN number on my I-Phone made my stomach turn. I waited on every word that he had to say and I made him repeat every word just to be sure. It was the call I was waiting for but not wanting to take. You know that feeling right?

So the cool thing I want you to see is that prayer is an awesome thing. Just think for a moment, God was listening to all these prayers and there was one prayer that caused Him to move with power. We will never know who prayed that simple prayer. It could have been one of you that listened to my advice and simply closed your eyes and asked God for the first time in a long time. THANK YOU! You may have saved my life. My children thank you, my girlfriend thanks you and all my friends’ thank you as well.

Lesson- Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be open. For everyone who asks receives, and to him who knocks the door will always open. You have needs, just admit it! Respond to this blog and I will pray for you. God answers prayer, not just for Pastor’s, but for everyone who ASKS!!!!

  3. Hey Greg, how 'bout that God of ours, huh!?!?
    Just getting caught up on the blogs and had to respond to this one...the biggest and best one yet!
    You know, I hope this doesn't sound cavalier or anything, but somehow I just knew from the beginning that although "cancer" is a scary word, that this would NOT be the end for you. I just believe God had/has a plan and a purpose in all of this, for you - your family - your friends and our church family and I never felt that plan included the "D" word! God is LIFE and he has given you life...for the 3rd time now! I guess that means you've been Born-again...again :-) PRAISE GOD, FOR WHAT GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE (AND CONTINUES TO DO)! Tell Max for me, that his daddy ain't goin' nowhere! God's not finished with him yet!
