Don't be afraid to be up rooted

I would like to share an experience with you that I had this week that I believe God would have me to share for the encouragement of others. I have been battling for 3 years with my dentist on getting my wisdom teeth removed. Because the procedure was more then just pulling them I didn't like the thoughts of surgically removing them. Especially when they were not even hurting me. Well my dentist and I came to a agreement that I would have them out at the end of the year. So December 8th I went to the specialist and he had me watch a video of the procedure. Then the doctor begin to tell me all the bad things that could possible happen to me permanently. It didn't sound good, so for 14 days leading up to the removal I let my thought run wild. I repeated this bad report several times. December 21st came I went at 10:00am for the procedure. As the doctor put the IV in my arm I prayed and asked God to give the Doctor the wisdom he needed to do this surgery and to give me a quick easy recovery time. I woke up from surgery pretty out of it. The doctor told my daughter that it was a difficult procedure the roots to the teeth was wrapped around my jaw bones and he had to break the teeth up into pieces in order to get them out. I came home with strong pain medication. The rest of that day and evening wasn't very pleasant, but still wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My husband Dewey prayed several times though out the course of the evening alone with everyone Else's prayers that I am very thankful for. I went to bed last night and woke up today pain free. I have no bruising, and no permanent damage to feelings, or taste buds in which I give all the glory to God.
Today I was asking God what was the purpose in all of this. The scriptures say that the natural projects the spiritual. I believe all things happen for a reason. If we will ask God he will show us the purpose. Sometimes in life we get dealt a hand of bad circumstances. We can do one of two things. We can pray for God to remove the circumstance from us, or give us the strength to go through it. Jesus prayed in the garden "if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will" (Matt. 26:39). No matter what we go through in life He will never leave us nor forsake us. God showed me today that my teeth removal was like a parable. He wanted to use this parable to teach others about him. When we have sicknesses, addictions disease, anger or anything else that can be deep rooted in our lives. We can let our minds lie to us. The battlefield to every decision is in the mind. That why the bible talks about taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). The mind will tell you, you can never be delivered, healed, or set free and then start giving you the reasons why. Heart disease runs in our family, My Grandfather was a drinker, my father was a drinker, now I am a drinker and its in my blood to drink. I have had this addiction to long I can never break it. These are just some of the lies we except. So we do nothing about it. What we have to do is when we get those thought we have to counter attack them with truth. With God all things are possible. By His strips I am healed. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It doesn't matter what it is or how long you have battled with it. Just like my wisdom teeth that had such long roots that they anchored themselves around my jaw bones that the surgeon had to take them out piece by piece. That's how good God is he is a gentle God. He will take things away from us piece by piece as He feels we can handle it until everything in our lives that does not represent Him is up rooted. So that all people will see is Christ. But we cant be afraid of the procedure God has to take us through. We have to trust Him. The great thing about it is that which we thought would be impossible or so terribly painful ends up being tolerable, and less painful with a shorter recovery time. So weather we pray and He takes the circumstance away, or if He chooses to give you the strength to go through. Either way give God the glory, and ask Him how you can share your experience to help encourage someone else. Seek Gods will and his timing for every decision in your life. His will and His timing go hand in hand. I have done things when I have know it was Gods will, but never took a thought about weather it was his timing and it was a rough road. But now I know the two go hand in hand and when I wait for both will, and timing things go a lot easier. Remember I told you I put off getting my teeth removed for 3 years, and now I felt that it was time. My girlfriend ask me the other day if I felt I need to go through this, and I told her yes. I know that it was Gods timing, because their are several couples that we know that have deep rooted issues in their lives, and now I will be able to share this experience with them that they may find the strength to go through and find the deliverance and healing that they need. Maybe your going through something in your life that is terrifying. Maybe it seems like their is no hope. I am here to tell you with God all things are possible. Put your hope, and trust in Him. When you are weak H will be strong in your life. Turn your life over to Him. Talk to Him. You have a purpose in this life. Your not here by accident, you are not a mistake as some might of told you. The bible saids when your Mother and Father forsakes you He will lift you up. He loves you with a everlasting love. Unconditional love. It doesn't matter what you have done or what you are doing right now. GOD LOVES YOU!!! His desire is that we all come to know him personally. And in knowing him personally He shows us what he is capable of, and that is giving us love, peace and joy. Being our healer, deliver, and provider. He fills a void in us nothing else can fill. That's because when He created you he left a place just for Him, because He new that one day you would invite him to fill that voided place in your life. Do it today. He will show you the way!!! God Bless You.
