Psalms 28:7 – ‘The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.’

DAILY READING; Revelation 17; Isaiah 1-2; Psalm 108

On April 5, 2014, Pastor Leon Freitag received a death sentence. He was diagnosed with an incurable cancer and told he had just 12 to 18 months to live. According to his doctor, he had no hope of survival.
At that time Pastor Leon Freitag served in the U.S as superintendent of the North Dakota District Council of the Assemblies of God Church.
Pastor Freitag responded to the news of his cancer by committing himself to live out his faith in front of the people he served. He believed his case was only an opportunity for the congregation to witness the power of God.
Another specialist doctor confirmed that he had no hope of recovery but stated that, at best, chemotherapy might shrink the tumor by 40 percent.
Pastor Freitag was then scheduled for surgery on August 21, 2014 to remove the large and dangerous tumors.
During the pre-op exam, Pastor Freitag’s wife, witnessed to the doctors and nurses and told them “We’re praying people, and we believe that when the surgeon opens my husband up, that you’ll find that God was already there.”
Indeed just as she said, on the operating table, the specialist doctor discovered that the tumors had already shriveled up and died, the tumors had shrunk by 80 percent and the remaining cancerous tissue was dead.
The doctors were dumbfounded! In all of their years of practice they had never seen anything like that happen.
The same doctors who said he had no hope of recovery turned around to declare that Pastor Frietag was totally cancer-free.
His story amazed everyone and brought great glory to God.
As Pastor Freitag resumed his full ministry schedule, he used every opportunity to testify about the reality of God’s miracle-working power.

Psalms 28:7 says ‘The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.’

Indeed when our trust is in God, His divine help and intervention will always show up for us.
Even where there seems to be no way, God will arise to make a way.
Despite the verdict of the experts, God’s counsel over us is what will eventually stand.

Certainly, the assurance of God’s Word is our divine insurance in the face of any challenge.
We continually keep our focus on the Word, because therein lies the wonder-working Power of God.
No matter how hopeless any situation, God is able to intervene with His miracles and wonders and overturn things in our favor.

Confidence in God’s Word is what causes us to maintain our joy in every situation. We do not let life’s circumstances dictate the condition of our heart rather in everything, we keep blessing the Lord because He is too faithful to fail.
Happiness is a temporary and fickle feeling determined by happenings.
The word happiness comes from the old English word happ, which means “chance.” It corresponds to the Latin word fortuna, which means “luck.” Both words suggest that when things happen the way we want them to we’re happy, but when they don’t , we’re unhappy.
On the contrary, true joy is permanent and settled and never dampened by life’s circumstances.
As believers, our joy stems from our confidence in God’s deliverance ability.
Whatever may come, we are certain that God will always see us through.

We may be challenged, but we cannot be defeated because Christ causes us to triumph always (2 Corinthians 2:14).
Certainly, we have a victorious destiny in Christ:

In this season, just like God did for Pastor Frietag, He will indeed show up for us and give us the victory over every challenge in our health, finances, family etc. In the place of ashes, we are going to see beauty, favor, health, increase.
Therefore in every thing, let us keep thanking God for the manifestation of His wonder working power in our lives.. Let us praise Him continually and judge Him faithful under every circumstance.
Certainly, as we focus on giving God all the glory, He will surely change our story.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always remain strong in faith and keep giving You all the praise because I know You are set to change my story. I thank You that in this season, You are indeed at work to reveal Your glory in my life in Jesus Name.
