For years, I had a knowing that 2008 was HUGE...but I had no idea why. I had great anticipation for at least 2 years before. The biggest thing I could imagine was Jesus coming back...but, a more probable thing would be to see breakthrough in my family.
I had counseled off and on from late 1999 or early 2000. Our whole family went for one session of marriage/family counseling, but following, I went alone. It was different from any counsel I had ever had (and I grew up in counseling). I will always be grateful for those years - as I learned how to rely on and trust God - walking daily in His grace, though I had no idea just how amazing His grace really was. Thank God my counselor did - a man of God who knew how to listen and then take authority in the Spirit and pray God's Word over me and my family! It took me a while to figure out why those prayers were so powerful - but eventually, I got revelation...lol.
In 2005, I started attending a ladies prayer group. I made friends with faith-filled believers and my leaders became my mentors. It was (and still is) a lifeline - as the other counseling came to an end. I also made a very special friend at the end of 2005 that would change my life forever. I was seeking rock-solid faith like she had (like nothing I had ever seen before) I experienced an insatiable hunger and thirst for God's Word. As I learned about God's will to heal, one of my sons came off of meds for migraines and seizures and another son came off of a slew of meds for asthma - both of them healed by the Word of God and prayer in 2006. I was also healed of several emotional wounds during this time and was filled with the Holy Spirit. In January of 2007, a traumatic event occurred with another son. I thank God that the Holy Spirit rose up in me to pray that day and believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that it saved his life. For the next nine months or so, I was completely tied up with related repercussions. In November 2007, another son - 8 years old at the time - was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilms tumor. A tumor had overtaken his right kidney and cancer had spread into his lungs. God protected him through chemo, several surgeries, transfusions, more chemo, radiation - and a few screw-ups here and there - none of them minor to us. God was faithful to His Word and my son was NED - no evidence of disease - in October of 2008. That was HUGE! Hallelujah, Glory to God, Thank You Jesus!!! It was my first time to abandon all doubt - rely on and trust God fully - putting my faith to the test. He made it so easy. It was His Word I was standing on, not mine - and He proved He is always faithful. Thank God for His Amazing Grace!
I have seen many breakthroughs - even more than are mentioned here. I am still waiting on some other breakthroughs and I believe I will see them soon. Glory to God. His Kingdom come, His will be done!
