Man I lived in the state of sickness and hardship for like 17 years of my life before I got the real revelation of the Power of God’s Word and experiencing it in my life at a greater capacity. I had no idea that my brain was not too hard for God to touch.  Even if what I experienced was because of my sin; because the grace of God was, is and will always be enough.
When I plugged into God as if He was my ONLY hope, when I took Him at His Word He blew my mind! He became my HEALER, my DEFENDER, my unfailing HOPE, my REDEEMER, my SAVIOR, my EVER PRESENT HELP…
It wasn’t until I had grasped at building my FAITH in HIM that this came to pass. It took my time and energy, my devotion and reliance upon only Him to see HIS PROMISES established and fulfilled in my life. It wasn’t a waste of time but worth every second, every minute, every day, every year; it was worth every tear I shed in hopelesness. HE showed Himself to me and that I was not to forget those benefits available to me when I became His child.
  Something that I felt like God reminded me of was when I had a friend that I told all of my junk to she spoke out a verse from Proverbs: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat their fruit.” When she said that I didn’t get offended. I took it to heart and began searching for truth based upon THE WORD OF GOD. It set my feet upon the Rock of Christ Jesus.
