When God desires to use someone for His honor and glory, it makes satan mad. satan will try using every evil manifestation he can, to disrupt or cancel God's plan from coming to be. Try starting with multiple cancerous tumors being reported to be on your liver. How to respond? Use your gift of faith, turn down chemo, and six months later, discover no tumors can be found anywhere on your body.
So satan, why not try diabetes, a common ailment affecting many? For years, Joe was told his readings reflected he has diabetes. Yet he suffered from none of the symptoms. Latest blood test showed he was clear of any diabetes.
Poor satan! How about this, give Joe some of that deadly and very aggressive multiple myeloma. That should do him in! "Oh no! What is he doing? Once more turning down chemo, in favor of his faith in God!" Test shows Joe still has it in his system. But it appears to have fallen asleep. Besides, Joe has never suffered from any of the related effects of this disease.
satan says, "I know, I'll use kidney failure. That should put an end to his being used by God." Can you believe it? Again, Joe turned down chemo, believing in God and His plans to use him. Latest blood test says, "Joe's kidney function has risen from the first reported 13 percent to now 17 percent." Yet something is wrong here! Joe's kidneys are functioning well as they did when he was in his boyhood days! This is not supposed to happen!
Several of Joe's doctors have said, "This could only be happening because of God Almighty, looking after him, His servant."
All praise, honor, and glory be to Him now and forever!
