Recount 2


So when we go through the process of recounting, it's bringing back to the forefront of your active mind from wherever you've had the information kept. Actual miracles that took place. 

An example. 

I had spinal stenosis so bad that my hands were all crinkling up. I almost couldn't move, had difficulty walking. It was getting to the point where I nearly couldn't feed myself.

I went to my local doctor and she said, "Dana, you need to see an expert on the spine because there's something going on, and I'm not, I'm not that trained, they need to look at you. And so I'm going to recommend you to the spine institute, but I'm also gonna tell you that they've got about a 3 month or 6 months waiting list, it's hard to get in there, but we're gonna call them and see what we can do."
I said "Fine. You know, it's happening. 
I'm in a great deal of pain." I was in so much pain it was unreal, I was walking around my house complaining, constantly to Jesus, this pain hurts. I hurt. Why hurt, why is this happening? What's going on?

I was miserable, should a Christian ever be there and actually, in recounting, I'm bringing this up to the forefront of my mind, because you and I both know the answer to that is; no! God doesn't waste a hurt. I love that preacher, Robby Gallaty says that out at Long Hollow church, he said "God doesn'waste a hurt!" Now, that's not his original thing. I could get who he sourced it to, but He doesn't, God doesn't waste a hurt.

Tell you, I'm sure something else with you about recounting. It's good to know The Times that you've been in pain and suffered. Because that attests to the fact that you can It's important to understand that he doesn't desert you. God doesn't leave you, Jesus doesn't leave you.  So I got referred to the spine institute. But nothing was happening. Couple weeks went by. 

I was still walking around my house. Complaining to Jesus until finally, one Sunday morning, my wife said, I'm going on to church. I said, I'm not going to go, I'm hurt and too bad. I can't do it. I'm just not gonna do it, she went on and went to church anyway, what's that tell ya?

I'm in the front room, which is like a family meeting room, and I'm in front of a big plate glass window, and I'm looking out at nature, and I'm realising, now, this is the Holy Spirit working within me, I'm realising you've been doing nothing but griping and complaining and you know, good and well, that's not what you're supposed to do, what is your pain compared to the cross? Come on, Dana? And so I said, to Jesus, Lord, I apologise. I'm; look, I'm tired of listening to me whine. I know you've gotta be tired of listening me whine, even though you never in your love and grace would ever get tired of listening to me whinin' but Ya gotta be, so you know what I'm going to do, I'm going to praise your holy name Jesus in the midst of this pain. I'm going to praise and Your holy name.

Now Watch this!

Monday afternoon, the next day. Doctor Utter from the spine institute called and said, I wanna see you in my office. I've seen a copy of your x-rays that your doctor sent over and I want to see you in my office. 

Yeah, I said later on in the week, he said, no this afternoon. So my wife had to take off, we had to go down there, we go to his office. He says, I want to do some more x-rays, he did those He said, I've looked at him now its about 4 o'clock, he says you need surgery and you need it right away, he said, I'm going to operate on you this week, I'm gonna operate on you Friday. 

Now I'm gonna conclude this doctor utter story in the next segment of recounting, but that's a miracle that happened in that this very professional, very skilled, very highly skilled surgeon. Got in touch with me the day after I had prayed praise to your name Christ in the midst of my pain, now think about recounting, because you're recalling to your mind. The Times of Jesus has done things for you that are just Inexplicably great when we think about them, even though they involve pain, and now we'll move on to another segment about recounting, but this one is about the miracle of being in touch with them after praising Christ.

View on Vocaroo >> Why laugh? 🤣 Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
