Recount 3_ RRR discipling

View on Vocaroo >>

Recounting a miracle, it isn't as difficult as it sounds as long as you're willing to own up to the fact that sometimes things happen, that you really cannot logically explain. The week that doctor Utter said that he wanted to operate on me was on a Monday afternoon. He said he wanted to operate on me on a Friday. 

I think that Tuesday, I was beginning to think about this neck surgery thing, and I was beginning to wonder if it really had to happen and I was beginning to get scared, and I had these thoughts come into my mind. What if he has a bad day? What if he sneezes? 

What if his wife argued with him? What if he's upset? What if he drops this, what if he does that what if it goes wrong? 

And I got I got to the point where I called him. And I said, doctor Utter, I don't want to do this. I don't want to go through with this. 

It's scaring me and he said, Dana, you do not have to have this surgery, but if you don't have this surgery in about 3 to 6 months, I will see you somewhere in an emergency room because your condition is not going to get better without this surgery. He said, I understand that you are a little scared, he said, let me share this with you. I am board certified over 8 times I think he said it was with the Mayo clinic I am board certified in numerous states and here in Louisiana, and he said, I've got to tell you that I've done this surgery hundreds of times With a 98% success rate, and he said, in the 2% weren't totally successful Dana, the people were still relatively healed. It just wasn't perfect as I wanted it to be. 

And I thought, I gotta trust this guy, anybody that would talk to me like that, I gotta trust him. So that Friday we went in. 

We had the surgery. I'm gonna tell you that after the rehabilitation process, I was back able to use my hands and type, I had no more of the of the pain of my nerves, not working like they were supposed to, and I could go back to basically functioning as if though I had not had the situation with my spine before. I can't begin to explain to you how that it gets into your head, a fear of a process that was going to come out good but we are going to talk about that. 

Because recounting is one way to apply a salve or a balm that the Bible talks about that is, it is going to calm your fears by faith, God doesn't want us to live in fear. If Jesus doesn't like his disciples being fearful, the Holy Spirit in you wants you to dwell as a person who dwells by faith, not by fear, and let me tell you after that surgery. And after that success and after having had my health restored, you better believe that I am thanking Jesus Christ, I am thanking God, almighty. For that miracle, it took place.

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...
