Something I learned recently, there is a way to drop a patient onto a stretcher while they are standing...it takes four EMT's however....two minimally and it is much harder to do it with two. They simply walk up behind the person, placing a back board directly behind them standing upward, take them under the arm on both sides and grasp the backboard behind them, and two EMT's crouch down and hold the ankles in place as well as the bottom of the backboard and lift up. pretty soon a standing person is laying safely on a stretcher...
Many times the patient doesn't want to go on the stretcher, they refuse, saying nothing is wrong...when they have some obvious grotesque wound that screams otherwise. Its easy to live in denial of our problems/sins...thats when we need our rescue squad...who has your back??? I need my God people, I know who they are or they are being revealed to me...but the importance of them is becoming more and more obvious. We need our people, to lift us off our feet when we are blind and think nothing is wrong.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If your not sure who your "people" are, think of who you trust!!! Start a prayer chain...find people you trust, three or four, however many, and keep up with praying for them as they keep up praying for you. Be specific in what you pray for, and dont pray tentatively and offhandedly, but pray with faith and confidence that it will be so! Because with your faith, God will answer those prayers, HE IS MIGHTY! So why pray as if He is incapable? WARNING...if you pray with confidence and total faith...prayers WILL be answered...(ask me about my piano ;) )
James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you read that??? ^^^^^ Ok...heres something that just pieced together for me...funny how something you've heard all your life is finally revealed to you! (I had never honestly sought to discover this, thats usually why things dont get revealed for me!) Righteousness is parallel to FAITH.
Genesis 15:6
Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
BELIEVE AND YOU WILL RECEIVE!! How many times I've heard...but now I am beginning to see...
GOD YOU ARE BEYOND DESCRIPTION, CONTINUE! SHOW US THOSE YOU'VE GIVEN US TO BACK BOARD US WHEN WE NEED PULLED TO SAFETY, GIVE US HOPE, BUT LORD OH THAT WE WILL HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN YOU!!! YOU ARE ALL!! TO YOU BE THE GLORY! IN EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
