Little Kyden Cancer

I’m not sure if all of you listened to Highveld this morning (18 November 2009). The first Christmas wish for the day. What a wish. Well for those who didn’t listen this is just to inform you of the wish.
 
Megan has a small child (Kyden) that has a tumor that the Dr’s can’t cure. He was 3 when he was first diagnosed with a tumor in his stomach. They did remove it but after 2 months the tumor was back. According to the dr’s nothing can be done now. They gave this small boy a couple of months to live. This is way I’m sending this mail. I’m asking that each one that reads this mail to pray for this little boy and his family. Only God can help this little boy.
 
Dear God
 
You know the situation with little Kyden. You know the suffering he has to endure and his family. Father I ask of You today to help this family. Comfort them and protect them. Father I ask that you bless this little boy. I ask that You heal his little body. We as human can only do so much but You can do so much more. Father please take this little boy in Your hands and heal his body. Take his pain away. Father you have shown us time and again nothing is impossible in Your name, this is why we bring this child to You. Father we ask that you have mercy on this little boy and his family. We thank you Father for helping this child and for healing his little body and for helping his family. We ask this in Your wonderful and powerful name.
 
Amen.
 
Please forward this to the people, so that we all can pray for this little boy and his family. There is no better doctor then Jesus.
 
Thank you.

Delight In Jesus

Psalm 37:4 " Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." (New King James)

The scripture above is well known by most that have a christian background. It is often, however quoted incorrectly by many who tend to leave the word "Also" out of the quote. The word "also" tends to change the meaning slightly in that the quote "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will.." means that this is the only condition necessary for you to meet the requirements that Jesus has to give you all the desires of your heart.

When the quote includes the word "also", the meaning changes and "Delight yourself also in the Lord..." becomes one of a number of requirements that need to be fulfilled first in order that Jesus gives you all the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:3 " Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the Land and feed on His Faithfulness." These are some of the other requirements that are needed in order that you should receive the desires of your heart.

1) You need to trust in the Lord - with all your heart and mind.
2) You must do Good - to others as well as to the Lord
3) You must Dwell in the land - we all live in the land - so this means somthing else - you must live in the word of God.
4) Feed on His faithfulness - receive your sustenance from Him.

The world teaches us that we are to receive all that we can from others and often when we come to Jesus and accept Him as Lord and Saviour in our lives, many come with the attitude of  "what can I get from Jesus?". This attitude of GIMME GIMME does not work and when you come to Jesus purely to receive from Him, it is hardly likely that you will receive anything back from Jesus.

When you fall in Love with Jesus and your love for  Jesus becomes the centre of your existence, then you start to truly live to serve Jesus and then all the provisions of the scripture start to be fulfilled and Jesus, in return, starts to provide you with all the desires of your heart. 

In order to fully live in the love of Jesus, first invite Jesus into your life, then Draw near to God and he will draw near to you, and lastly live in the Law of Liberty that He has given you.
