Read John chapter 5, verses 2-9 (do you see the words "Do you WANT to be healed"?)
Ephesians chapter 2, verses 4-6 (Do you see the words "God is rich in mercy because of His great love for us. By this
favor you were saved"?)
Hebrews chapter 10, verses 12 and 13 (Do see the words "When He forgives our sinfulness, our sins - they are forgiven
and forgotten by God"?)
In John the man had been sick for 38 years! He thought if he could just make it into the water in time, he could be healed. But, he never could get there in time. He had no one to help him. Jesus asked him if he WANTED to be healed. I suppose He already knew the answer. And Jesus healed him right there. Sometimes, when nothing works, maybe all we need is Jesus!
From Ephesians we read that God loves us so much! His mercy is never-ending because of this great love He has for us. By this favor (God's love), Kenny, your life was saved! God's mercy and love is beyond our comprehension!
In Hebrews we see that when we accept His sacrifice on the cross as our salvation, our sins die on that cross with Jesus. That's WHY God sent His dearly beloved only son - so that we could have life and have it more abundantly - to the fullest! Our sins are forgiven - and forgotten - when we come to the cross - ask forgiveness - accept Jesus as our savior - and repent. We can live in the rest of God, in the peace of God - because we have this faith in God, in Jesus, in the Holy Spirit. We KNOW He will answer our prayer, that He desires for Kenny to have life and have it to the fullest, and that He has begun a work in him. And whatever He does for him, we know it is the best!
We just keep praying, believing, asking, receiving. NEVER GIVE UP ! ! !
PRAYER:
Lord, Jesus - Be with Kenny as he comes for healing. Help us to never give up, believing you are working a miracle for Kenny - in your way and in your time. We know his life has a purpose. You love him so much, and your mercy never ends because of this love. So, Lord Jesus, have mercy and spare him and his family from a life of hardship and sorrow - and give them abundant blessings and joy!
A-MEN !

Ephs.2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." God wants to grace you with the gift of salvation. Accept the gift. Have faith in a healing.
Lonnie, this Novena speaks to many areas of many lives. Somedays, I forget that I am doing this Novena as a prayer for Josi and Pat and others because it speaks so much to me!
I hope many are accessing this site and praying this Novena. Jesus does still work miracles.
Thanks, Sharon! I love Eph 2:8. Thank you God, for the wonderful gift of our salvation!
As Joyce Meyers says, and I quote..." Can you imagine trying to earn your way into God's favor? That would be an impossible task. No amount of good works would ever be enough. Take a moment and reflect on the riches of God's grace and thank Him for His love and kindness toward you (see Ephesians 2:4-7).Grace is a wonderful thing. It is God's unmerited favor by which we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, as Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:8. The Holy Spirit ministers grace to us from God the Father. It can be said that Grace is the Holy Spirit's power flowing out from God's throne to save us: it enables us to live holy lives and to accomplish the will of God."
I took the moment to reflect on what God's grace has done for me - and I had such a feeling of joy. I know that was God's grace filling me with His Holy Spirit. I must remember to do that once every day! Thank you, God, for your loving kindness towards me!.
Chad blessed me so much when he was here for his visit a couple of Saturdays ago. He told me he listens to Joyce Meyer, too! And that he starts and ends every day in prayer! He also said he just doesn't know how he could get through his hectic, busy days without doing that! How wonderful!
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!"
Lord Jesus,
I pray Mike has an infilling of the Holy Spirit and his body is healed of ALL cancer cells. Gift Mike and his family with a powerful Faith. In Jesus name.
By His stripes was Kenny healed. Praise God for His wonderful ways and mercies. Father God, please continue to bless Kenny and his family.
