Follow up to Healing through Word of Knowledge

It's been since 5-10-19 that God through the 700 Club gave a Word of knowledge about someones knees were being healed. As I said I claimed that Word. This is the follow up to that:
Since this miracle happened my knees have been great. The effort needed to walk (especially uphill) is almost negligent, and stairs are getting better everyday. I have noticed that my knees are fine on every wise but it's my legs/muscles that are weak from lack of exercise. I have prayed over them and began exercising them and the improvement is quickly gained.
I have several backpack sprayers that are 4 gal. and in the past (before the healing) if I went down to the ground with one on I could not get back up without crawling to a solid means of something to pull myself up on. The other day I walked the property spraying weeds and insects having filled the sprayers several times and didn't notice till I was done that all the walking was effortless. Because of the lack of resistance (do to the healing) I wasn't as exhausted and could thereby do more. I have not known this much freedom of movement since I was in my 30's.
Praise God for His unspeakable gifts!

Divine Healing by Word of Knowledge

Through out the 37 years of our Christian walk Elise and I have witnessed Divine Healing for ourselves and others in a variety of ways. In the beginning healing's and divine manifestations including signs and wonders were very common including "raising the dead" (not as common). 

So lets stop here and allow for those who do not believe in these manifestations "for today" to hit the close button and "not sin" by controversy or argument. All that I write is true and I can't apologize nor disclaim what has happened in our lives because "someone else" hasn't experienced the same things. 

Pretty much a list of most of what we have experienced is written on our blog jerroldcavasin.blogspot.com and at this time 292 entries, some about Elise as we journeyed through her affliction, but most about divine interventions, healing, casting out demons, and other signs and wonders. These are those that came to mind to write about, many are still not "set to pen" at this time, and if the Lord wills they will in the future.

So today's entry:

The 700 Club has been our "default" show for some time now, (they were around when we first received Christ) and at the end they would have prayer with a prophetic Word as to different types of healing/deliverance's  that were taking place by the hand of God at the time of showing. It is expedient to mention "at the time of showing" because some of the shows are aired and re-aired at differing times but the Word of God is True, and if it is the Word of God then it will be equally powerful and effective each showing. I will interject again that whether or not you agree is your privilege and choice. Everything of God is by faith.

What I am going to do here is to exercise my faith as to what happened by "speaking it" to affirm what took place. Of course the "other" part of "believing and receiving" is the part where you get up and walk or do what is necessary to prove what has been done for you.  

Last night Elise and I caught the end of the show during the prayer of faith. During the prayer of faith, with the Holy Spirit moving, Robertson said that everyone with a problem should place their hands on the area to receive healing. I did so with my knees as they are one of my "thorns" due to the abuse (my fault) that was common to the trade. As I did that he spoke a Word of Knowledge about someone who God was healing that had to very bad knees. I took that as including me so I said "I receive that Father according to your will". There was no shaking, warming, tingling, or any physical experience, (which does happen at times), but a sense of certainty in my spirit that God had met that need. After the program was over I got up from the couch without any resistance, stumbling or effort but a certain freedom that I had not had before. Today (the following morning) I walked down the outside stairs as normally as I did years ago without anything but a bit of apprehension (as I have had for years before because of them), and reached the bottom with praise and thanksgiving. 

So far between the time of healing and the posting of this writing there has been many attacks on my spirit and mind as to whether or not healing actually happened, I say and claim that it has with rejoicing and will continue to "walk by faith" therein. Another note: when I was driving my car into Henderson to have it worked on I was in a humble state worshiping God with thanksgiving and weeping, rejoicing in God our Savior for His most excellent gifts. During that time I noticed an ease in my breathing that was not there before. Having worked in the so called "black smoke" industries, (blast furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, smelters, ect) this usually has a demising effect on the lungs and bronchial tubes. Do to the fact that there could be no other reason for this positive change, I took it as part of the blessing that came with worshiping God with deep humility. Another miracle.

Many Christians have there own thoughts on how God works in situations that are out of our hands such as mentioned above. So do I. One thing God has taught me threw this affliction with Elise is that He does things His way. Period. Whether we understand them or not. Prayer has been answered for people in a "death coma"with no more guidance than someone asking for it to be done. Sometimes there is a "Word from the Lord" prompting the prayer to be made. There can be a 100 different ways for God to get our attention to "get the job done", but the key is to be sensitive to the wee small voice and then obey. You will never "miss the mark" if you are "praying without ceasing" looking to "glorify your Father in Heaven." 

So now an update on the last visit Elise had to the neurologist. MRI shows no new or noticeable regrowth in comparison to the MRI taken before this one 3+ months ago. There still is a lot going on with her meds and weaning her off them as soon as it is safe to do so is our new priority. Prayer still needed to finish the med/doc applications. "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed."

Love to all with grace and peace through God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Spousal Love vs Time

Many times I write about the relationship Elise A. Cavasin and I have and how that is "honored" each and every day. We both love each other and have been building this relationship every day since 1972. 
The Bible says that "Love never fails" and so it has been here. 
But what most of you don't realize is that aside from our son Jerry there really is seldom anyone else here with us. 
Our family (sons and daughters, spouses) visits when they get the time, and some do so sacrificially, but in the course of the year it's a very small number of days overall.
Of course their leaving (for work and just general life) is a great loss, but leave they must just as it is when we visit them.
Here is the point:
Most of the time we are just here ourselves. Most of our time is spent with just Elise and I at the table, in the yard, doing the chores, eating great meals and meats. 24/7. If we weren't so Unconditionally in Love with each other there might be an irritation being in that situation day after day. But not so with us. I wake up in the morning with a smile waiting for her to wake up and look over at me so I can smile and wave at her. I get up, meet her in the kitchen asking what she wants for breakfast! She asks what my plans are. We sip coffee, chat, eat, then head off to our prospective chores. We always either work together or meet up for a snack, wine, and as always, unending conversation. We both realize that what we have is just each other the majority of the time. Problem.........No way! We have each other and with that in place through Love we complete each other.
God, from the first time we met, marinaded us in Love so that by the time we arrived at this time in our lives we could live,share, and appreciate these times.
How many can honestly say that?
I don't have to leave her for some activity that sets us apart "for a break", or she doesn't have to "go out" shopping or on her own to "have her space" for a while. We are completely happy just being together, all the time. I have many times ended a note or post to her like this: "I Love you always, and all ways", that covers it all. "All ways", every way that Love can be expressed, thought, word and deed, and "always", forever throughout this creation in time.
This statement covers every intimate action (anything that has to do with life together), without breaks, space, other separate interests, absolutely the need for any separation is eliminated by Love, joy, and peace with each other.
I guess I mean a "God Love" for each other that enforces respect, honoring, caring, proving to each other the preciousness we have for each other.
Because God taught us about Love (by/through Jesus Christ), forgiveness (by God through Jesus Christ), and hope (through Jesus Christ) we can "co-habitate" without interruption of time with each other.
Life is good.
Love is better.
Life with Love is best.

Update on Elise 1-24-19

It's been a while since I posted anything about Elise's condition and it's progress.
She has been doing well as to function but still suffering side effects of either medications or lack of movement for such a long time. By lack of movement I don't mean that she is bed or chair ridden but that due to lack of movement in the recovery months she has lost a lot of core and back strength. On top of the meds having the side effect of "back ache" there is the normal pain of getting "back to it" with house hold chores, which she desperately wants to do but there in is limited. Right now she has been suffering an almost acute back ache in the small of her back and along her pelvic bone when she sits, stands, lays down, gets up, or twists. The pain is most of the time momentary to the action but some days her pelvic bone is sore too. The last couple of times she was in for blood work this pain was ignored by the medical staff.
She has been off of the Lovenox (shots to her belly for clots), for 2 weeks now and the bruising and hardness is quite a bit better. She is still quite sore there and we are told it could take up to 4 more weeks to completely heal up and shrink back down to normal. Then we can start working on restoring her core.  At least that's one med she is finished with. Our goal is to get her off them all hopefully as soon as we safely can.
Her general condition is great when it comes to cognitive skills and being able to work around the house. Because of her back and sides she is having issues bending down or squatting so I do all that "lower" stuff for her. Picking up things that get dropped, moving anything to heavy for her, just being by her side for whatever she needs to keep her comfortable without limiting her progress. She doesn't need to be walked around any more and her headiness is all but done with. Also her head scar and fall bruise is not causing any pain much any more. Pretty much back to normal as she was last January, 2018 before we knew she had a tumor for ability.
Tomorrow we start a new phase in her restoration, seeing a neurologist in Nashville. We were supposed to have a comparative MRI done on Jan 5/19 to compare to the one that was done after the operation but that got fouled up in the arraigning between the Mayo Clinic and the Center in Nashville. We are back on track and expecting the same good results that we had previously, with God's intervention, at the Mayo. "He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it" is where our faith lays. We are praying that the doctor we are going to see will also have the same application as we do, and that is to get her back to "living life" normally as soon as it is safe to do so. More on this when we finish with the consultation.
Well that's as up to date as it can get.
Regardless of tactics we are still trusting and praising God through Jesus Christ for all the healing that is take place and will take place.
Love
Jerry and Elise

Mature content not taught much in the church anymore.

For the mature only!

Mature in heart, mind, and spirit. You've been warned.

Biblical subject matter that is often overlooked in the church.

As Elise and I have traveled this "vale" together these last 46 years we have been asked many times, "How did you make it so long together"?

The answer is simple: Never let "any" of the aspects of True Love fail.

What are these aspects?

1. Verbal True Love. The art of speaking Love to your spouse.

2. Active True Love. The art of doing Loving things.

3. The thoughts of Love. "As a man thinks in his heart so is he". Thinking thoughts of True Love towards your spouse will turn into actions and words of Love.

4. Attitude of True Love. Attitudes are decisions that have already been made. For every attitude there is the "like" response.

5. Motive of True Love. Now here is one of the most important aspects. Spouses always seem to question the "why or what for?" of the application to ensure True Love. They know that if there is any "self gratification" attached to any of the aspects then True Love isn't the real reason, just an excuse to "get something".

One of our therapist at the Mayo Clinic (a young woman) who was getting married asked Elise and I what the secret was to our successful marriage? The answer was "you never let True Love die", you "keep it alive". She looked fascinated that the answer was so simple. Whatever you do in the beginning do all through your life together and True Love will continue to grow.

True Love only die's when no one tries!

Or one or both give up on being "infatuated".

Remember when you first started "going out?"

Remember when you couldn't wait to see each other?

Remember when your heart sunk when you couldn't spend time together no matter what the reason?

Remember the agony of "going home" at the curfew time?

How about those hugs, sweeter than cherry pie kisses, and the smell of her hair?

Ok, so for many of you I am disseminating into the physical side of True Love.

Well believe it or not that was (and should still be) a very important factor in Tue Love's continuance. Believer or non believer that's God's design (for procreation) to get things started and to keep it going. I think it's perfect that God designed that much enjoyment only to "carrying on" His progeny.

"Becoming one" is the sum of: spirit + mind + soul + and body. If one is missing then "we have a problem".

Many believers have a problem with any affirmation of "and body".

Did you know that "becoming one" "defrauding not one another" breaks Satan's power of temptation over you?

1 Cor 7:5

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

1 Cor 7:4

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Humble instructions for those who wish to become one. I can with assurety say this: You have "reserved" yourselves for each other till death do you part, so spend every time together "mastering" one another. Remember the servant parable? He who is servant is greatest of all? If you serve one another "selflessly", for the others gain, every time, there will be no need for "power over the others body" to come into play.

A pure, selfless, True Love (Unconditional Love) "shared" between spouses will produced some of the best "benefit's" of countenance and spirit that can be gained in this life.

Here are a few:

A true smile.

Radiant countenance.

Joy unspeakable.

A spiritually produced glow.

Less complaint.

A sense of completeness.

Not sorry to say that this is God's design for the becoming one process.

Now does this become ineffective as we get older? Not at all! What about if this is no longer in play? Start playing that tune again. Start with the 5 points shown above as a precursor. Who can resist that?

Again remember "in the beginning"? Nothing has changed except you! Age has nothing to do with it. Showing and receiving True Love does.

That's why I am ending with this song. When it first came out several of our children mentioned that they wrote a song about us. Compliment accepted!

As Mikey (on the old Life cereal commercial) would say: "try it you'll like it."

Investments

There are many "investments" that one can make in this life, and we all prioritize them according to our perceived value.

Each one has a cost/investment to obtain them.

Then there is the "cost to continue" motivating us to carefully protect our investment.

Part of "maintaining" our investment is to "exercise" or use it as much as need be to "have gain" from it.

These investments can be both physical and spiritual.

The short list of mine would prioritize as such:

Highest value: Jesus Christ.

Cost: Faith in Him and His death and Resurrection.

Cost to continue: His Word, Prayer, and Servant hood.

Maintenance: Doing those things that He did and greater things.

The gain: Eternal Life, helping others out of a True Love and sincere heart, introducing others to Jesus.

I said this would be a short list. I have many investments in this vale but I give a very close second to:

My wife:

The cost: Unconditional Love.

The cost to continue: expressing Unconditional Love through thought, word, and deed.

Maintenance: all my attention when she speaks. That means "I listen". Nothing shows a woman that you Love her more than when you listen. Why? Because listening is more costly than silver, gold, precious stones or anything that can be made by the hands of man.

To listen costs the most precious price of all: "time". It's the only thing that once given it can't be taken back. You invest/spend it once, in it's frame,and then it is "set in concrete" as you cannot change what you did with it.

How many marriages would be alive today if the precious jewel of "time to listen" were given instead of expensive fillers.

Time to listen, especially with the heart, opens to doors to unlimited value perceived by the wife. "He took time to listen to me and what's important to me" is the basic heart cry of every woman that has bound herself to man in matrimony.

A man who can respond to his wife's words with the same importance as she spoke them will find that his wife will be free to "respect her husband". That respect will become the seed to grow into the Unconditional Love that is needed to "ensure" the marriage and it's future growth.

God designed men to be leaders in the marriage. He commands them to "Love their wives" and the woman to "respect" their husbands. Know this men, it's hard to respect the man when he won't even make the investment of "time", (that irreplaceable jewel), to "know his wife's heart".

Most men don't realize the potential that is locked within the wife to "come along side" as a help meet to make him the kind of successful he is destine for.

In marriage a man and woman become "one". "How can two : walk together unless they be agreed?" and I would add: agreement calls for "intimate, honest" conversation. That implies that "he who leads" knows the hearts of those who follow because he listens. The wife will give "non contested" support for her man when she knows that his decisions are part based on her intimating her heart to him.

What does it mean to "listen"?

To listen is to give equal consideration to the speaker as you want to have.

It means to recognize their passion as equal to yours.

Realizing that their vision is just as strong as yours.

The end means of "listening" is the root of marriage: to become one.

Two cannot become one if both speak and neither listen!

Two cannot become one if only one speaks and no one listens!

Two cannot become one if no one speaks!

Two cannot become one if neither have the "time" to invest "

The Biblical marriage of oneness can only be obtained by investing time and listening to each others hearts.This has a long lasting effect on a marriage and it bares it's own fruit of Love, Joy and Peace in the Holy Spirit. Name one marriage that couldn't use a good dose of that fruit? Believe it or not men that a simple thing such as lending an ear could empower your marriage to levels that you could only imagine or pray for.

All that you hold important to you convinces your wife of how important she is to you.

So be brave..............just ask her what she thinks about where she stands!

Let her answer the question "are we still becoming one"?

Then ask her "how can I make this better"?

Then ...........take time to listen!

Love

Jerry and Elise
