Your testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. Psalm 119:111This blog is dedicated to my father, Bill Rogers. Since the fall of 2005 when he was first diagnosed with throat cancer, Dad has patiently, consistently, and courageously fought the battle for his life. Dad has faced down this disease with a rare optimism and unwavering faith. He is my hero.
I have made my prayer to the God of my salvation. I am standing in faith to see my Dad's life restored back to him. God has graciously poured out his love over us through Jesus Christ; in and through him we have been given every blessing pertaining to life and godliness. By faith in Christ, healing is ours, emotional, spirtual, and physical, the
whole man. This is the love of God, and it is beyond human comprehension. For by his stripes, through his suffering, we have been reconciled to God, released from every curse...if we will only dare to believe in a passionate God who gave everything that He could give in Christ Jesus. "He who knew no sin became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." Our hearts bow prostrate before His unspeakable love and kindness, his tender mercies.
There is tremendous power in our testimony. I want my Dad to have access to these testimonies, so that his faith can connect with the body of Christ, and he may recieve the blessings that God has lavished upon us in Christ! Having done all to stand, I am standing on every promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My heart resonates with Christ's prayer to the Father, in the hour of his greatest trial:
"Abba, Father, with you all things are possible!"Please share your testimonies, prayers, and words of encouragement for my dad. I cannot express how much this means to me, and what a blessing you are to take the time to write a note, a testimony, a prayer. May the God of all comfort be with you, and grant you his shalom, his completeness!
For they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony.
