Living As A Cancer Survivor - Honest Evaluations Can Hurt
If you have consistently read my blog (this is my 47th entry), you should have a good understanding of my personality. It's hard to put into perspective how I gauge my emotions every day. Nothing causes more stress and desperation than hearing someone I love, worried. I automatically speed through my mind how I could be responsible. I react that way because it breaks my heart to see a loved one hurting.
NOTHING SPECIAL
I am under no exaggeration as to what my value is overall in society.
Surviving cancer has created such a thorn in my side. I am grateful for surviving because of all the others that have suffered and died from this disease. However, I also find myself humiliated because of the ways it affected my body and took away so many things I loved.
I can understand why those who lost someone to this disease would be offended by that. I don't feel that way all the time, but when I'm unable to walk because of the severe pain I deal with, or I can't leave my house due to Crohn's, I break down a little.
I am extremely tough on myself. I try to hold myself to a standard (I can hear the laughter of those who would disagree from here). For the majority of my life, I have tried to represent Christ with my actions, words, and behavior (that I know others are laughing at). It's hard to explain how much my relationship with Jesus means to me. I could not live without it. I know what touches my heart because God distinctly created specific characteristics that bring out tears, joy, sorrow, sincerity, and especially hope.
I am an empathetic person. I try my best to put myself in someone else shoes when they are experiencing something. I do my best no to judge others because I know how much I hate when others judge me.
HONEST EVALUATION MIGHT NOT BE POSITIVE
I think we all come to a point in life where we want to make a difference with the talents given to us. I'm certainly not unique when I say I have failed to accomplish those things. I'm trying, but lately, I look around and see the reality of what I have become. That scares me to death.
What if I never achieve? What if I let everyone down who chose to believe in me? I look up and see zero followers on Patreon. I've had to chase people down who said they would get back to me. I've thoroughly embarrassed myself, reaching out to people asking for speaking opportunities. My book was a total failure (only 23 copies sold).
Former NFL Coach Bill Parcells says, "You are what your record says you are." Well, if that's the case, then the results are apparent. I want everyone to understand that I'm the last thing that someone would call a success. I have to prove myself every day as well.
JOHN WOODEN SPEAKS THE TRUTH
Former UCLA Head Coach John Wooden used to tell his players, "Never mistake activity for achievement." When you reach my age, you should have certain things that you earned. Everything I had, I was given. I don't feel like I can call myself anything other than a burden until the results say something different.
While I'm currently laying the groundwork to be self-supporting, I have experienced countless potholes. I find myself needing motivation most mornings to get out of bed. Some days my legs are so swollen I am unable to put on pants. Other days I can't go 10 feet without having to circle back because of stomach issues. The battle is exhausting at times.
WHY AM I SAYING THESE THINGS?
I can't expect those who read this blog to support someone who is phony. I despise artificial people and those who purposely deceive others. If I can't be honest with my failures and in my desire to be better, then how can I be trusted? My heart is pure, but it's broken. It's broken because I see others around me who need me to be better and achieve success.
I would appreciate those who pray to please say a prayer for me this week. Someone close to me is also facing a situation that is causing an enormous amount of stress.
BEING AN EXAMPLE
One thing I don't want to ever be is fake. I owe honesty, integrity, and sincerity to all who cross my path. I want everyone to know that it's OK if you don't feel like conquering the world every day. It's OK if you suffer from depression, loneliness, feeling left out, confused, or like you don't fit in. Do the best you can and don't be afraid to reach out to others who you trust.
The Knicks disappointing season has led to the firing of David Fizzdale. From the start Fizzdale was the wrong hire for the team. He has never proven to be a good coach previously in his career and frankly never belonged coaching anything in a major market. Or a minor market. Or in the NBA. Considering all of the candidates available at the time, his hiring was a head scratcher, but thankfully many of the positive candidates that were looking for jobs when FIzzdale was hired are still available, as Fizzdale was fired so quickly into his awful Knicks areer.
Fizzdale’s firing is not the entirely the fault of David Fizzdale. It’s the fault of the team’s impotent owner, fat fuck James Dolan, and the shitty front offices that he’s assembled that draft poorly and recruit poorly.
Truth be told, I watch an embarrassingly large number of basketball games. I have watched the sport from the 1970’s through today. I have seen many changes in the game over time. Some for the better, most for the worst, as the league has turned itself from a sport and team game into globetrotter rosters and promotable movie stars. And that’s the type of coach the Knicks need: one that can turn the team into the Globetrotters offense. So let’s look at what’s out there in management and what could help this moribund organization out of its perpetual suckdom.
David Blatt- already hired as a front office guy. Blatt has multiple sclerosis, so he probably wants to be in a less physical role. A great basketball mind, and maybe a replacement for Steve Mills? GM Scott Perry? Both?
Is it me or am I the only person that thinks the UFC is water down, well if you don’t just watch the garbage pay per view they sold Saturday night at UFC 246. Im not going to talk about the co main event Holm vs Pennington, which probably wouldn’t have even made a pay per view card 3 years ago. Lets be honest UFC fans, the organization is praying that Conor McGregor can come back after 3 years and save the sport once again give me a break. This shows me one thing and fans you might want to close your ears because you don’t want to hear what I’m going to say. McGregor beating a old beat up and over the hill fighter like Donald Cerrone Saturday night, doesn’t show me nothing but a lazy President trying to fined a nut. The UFC and Dana White should be embarrassed and sick to their stomachs to see the way the sport hasn’t found its identity since McGregor absence. I understand Dana didn’t want to throw Connor to the wolves in his first fight back in almost 3 years, but putting him against a washed up fighter at UFC 246 shows me how inept the organization really is. I understand that all organizations and professional sports franchises have their stars. But when the stars with the names McGregor and Jones are the only box office attractions then you have to think on how fast the sports has fallen in the past few years.
Lets just look back a few years shall we, Ronda Rousey arguably one of the biggest UFC stars of the last 5 years, decided to retire from fighting to become a WWE women’s wrestler after getting dominated by the likes of Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. How about throwing away one of the most talented fighters to come out of the UFC in the last ten years Demetrious Johnson, because they couldn’t promote him like they did for McGregor because he wasn’t a big mouth attraction in his years of complete dominance in the UFC. I think Dana White believes he has the right ingredients now to get the UFC back on top and I hope its not bringing a half beat up GSP back once again. Mix martial arts fans believe the once promising Prize fighting aka boxing was done the last past few years because of the lack of stars they lost because of retirement. Since then boxing has been taking off with the likes of upcoming and big super stars in the sport like Canelo Alvarez, GGG, Errol Spence and Terence Crawford. That doesn’t take away the growth of the Heavyweight division, with the likes of Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua that division has not been this strong since the Tyson years.
So where does the UFC go from here, well Khabib and Ferguson is a start thats for sure but finding the answer to this question will not lean on the likes of one big fight. For the last few years Dana White has been looking for the next new generational fighter that will lead them through the next decayed. Giving the likes of guys like Donald “the old cowboy” Cerrone a 6 fight contract or bringing in a washed up wrestler like CM Punk, who couldn’t beat a first grade mix martial artist in his sleep. Hey Dana I have an idea maybe you should get Michael Jordan to come out of retirement and have McGregor vs Jordan in a pay per view fight to the death in a game of horse. I don’t know what the UFC has up their sleeves in the near future, but I can tell you one thing Dana is not going to fool me with this garbage anymore.
Cancer often strikes fear in the hearts of anyone who even hears the
word. This is largely due to a lack of knowledge about natural,
non-toxic treatments coupled with the abysmal failure of the “Big 3”
conventional treatments (chemo, radiation, and surgery). It pays to know
everything you possibly can about cancer.
Doctors use “stages” of cancer to determine and describe the severity of
your particular case. No matter how many forms of cancer there are,
they share common characteristics that make standard classification
possible.
Knowing the stage of the cancer found in your body enables your health
care provider to formulate a more effective treatment plan and helps you
understand your case more clearly. It also helps your loved ones
understand the scope of your fight against the disease.
Types of Cancer Treatment: Modern Medical Approach
By: Ana Doref
Сancer is a famous "killer" of
cancer patients, which invariably ranks first in the ratings for
prevalence, lethality, and belated diagnosis. Few people know about what
methods of examination can detect cancer at an early stage and what
modern medicine can offer as a weapon in the fight against a tumor.
Malignant neoplasms are a fairly extensive group of tumors, each of
which has its favorite localization, the speed of development and
prognosis. Some cancers are able to grow imperceptibly over the years,
others are characterized by lightning fastness. Nevertheless, doctors
note the general properties of neoplasms of lung tissue: for example,
they are more often found in people who have smoked for many years, as
well as for residents of cities with poor ecology, miners and employees
of harmful industries. The likelihood of cancer increases with age. World statistics is disappointing: according to the World Health
Organization, a million patients are diagnosed with this ailment every
year. Meanwhile, doctors are sure that if patients addressed
them in time, with the 1 and 2 stages of the disease, then the
overwhelming majority of patients could be saved from death. And even
with a delayed diagnosis, there are chances for recovery. The main thing
is to undergo a thorough examination and an effective course of
treatment for cancer. Stages of cancer Classification of
cancer simplifies the selection of optimal treatment tactics, but
doctors analyze the situation far beyond the conventional stages -
because each tumor and each patient is individual. The zero
stage - "cancer in place" - is extremely rare, because it implies the
presence of a microscopic tumor. Doctors usually detect such a tumor by
accident, during the treatment of another pathology of the lungs. It is
quite easy to cure it, the prognosis for the patient's life is
favorable; The first stage implies the presence of a tumor up to 3
cm in diameter, which does not have metastases (in other organs or lymph
nodes). Treatment is almost always successful; The second stage is
diagnosed when cancer has grown to 6 cm, and one or two of the closest
to the body lymph nodes showed malignant cells. In some cases, at this
stage, the oncologists can remove the tumor; The third stage is a
condition in which the tumor has grown enough to affect the adjacent
segment of the body. In this pathological process involves many lymph
nodes, surrounding the body. The prognosis is usually unfavorable, but
proper treatment helps to significantly slow the progression of the
disease. The fourth stage - also called terminal - means that cancer
has escaped from the body tissue, spreading to other parts of the body.
It is not necessary that the initial tumor has a large size: 4 stage of
cancer is diagnosed in each case when there are distant metastases.
Patients with terminal cancer rarely live longer than 2 years. How to treat cancer? A crucial factor in the success of cancer treatment is a timely
diagnosis. In many progressive countries, there has already been a
practice of mandatory regular screening using low-dose computed
tomography (CT). This procedure does not take much time and does not put
patients at risk due to high radiation doses. Compared with the
traditionally used fluorography, CT can establish or disprove the
diagnosis of cancer with much greater accuracy. In addition, a serious
problem is the lack of regular preventive visits to the doctor that
would help to reveal early signs of cancer. As a consequence - a person
comes to the doctor with the symptoms that are characteristic for the
3rd and 4th stages of cancer: a protracted cough, chronic pneumonia and
emaciation.
At the same time, European progressive healthcare
organizations know how to suspect cancer in the early stages, how to
reliably determine the location of the tumor and with the help of which
analyzes and samples it's possible to find out a specific type of
neoplasm in order to choose the best combination of therapeutic methods. When the necessary data on the disease are collected, the doctor
decides on the tactics of fighting cancer. It is a mistake to think that
the only effective method of treating a tumor is a surgical operation.
However, in some situations, oncologists prefer chemotherapy,
radiotherapy or the latest technologies, which provide an opportunity to
reduce neoplasm volumes. Surgical treatment Surgical
treatment is used in situations where the tumor has clear boundaries and
can be removed simultaneously with the nearest lymph nodes. However, if
oncologists have reason to suspect that the malignant cells have spread
widely, they will offer to remove the segment or the whole body (if
possible). Clinical practice shows that patients are able to live a full
active life without some organs. In some cases, when there is no hope
for complete healing, surgeons perform an operation aimed at reducing
the tumor volume and removing metastases from vital organs. Chemotherapy Some types of cancer grow so quickly that trying to remove it with a
scalpel is almost always doomed to failure. Chemotherapy comes to the
rescue: treatment of tumors with drugs that are harmful to malignant
cells (unfortunately, often for healthy ones). In some cases, this
method is the only one that can help the patient. In others,
chemotherapy is combined with surgery, allowing to reduce the amount of
surgery and exclude relapse. The optimal solution is an
individual selection of drugs taking into account the peculiarities of
the course of the disease, which is possible only after genetic analysis
of tumor cells extracted from the biopsy. Medications are
prescribed by courses, at intervals of several weeks (this is necessary
to allow the body to recover from side effects). At the end of therapy,
the patient undergoes a tomography scan to track how the tumor changes
under the influence of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy cancer drugs: Platinum drugs destroy the DNA of cancer cells. They relate to cytostatic agents of the alkylating type of action; Alkylating agents - these drugs destroy proteins that are responsible for the formation of DNA of cancer cells; Anthracyclines are drugs that form free radicals that damage the DNA of diseased cells (daunorubicin active ingredient); Antimetabolites are drugs that affect the genetic apparatus of the cell
and kill it during division. As a rule, the basis of these drugs is
Gemcitabine (cytotoxic drug, antimetabolite from the group of pyrimidine
antagonists); Taxanes are drugs that disrupt the process of dividing cancer cells; Vincalcaloids refer to the soft means of chemotherapy, which destroy the cytoskeleton of cancer cells. Hormonal cancer drugs Hormonal drugs are used to treat hormone-dependent tumors, such as
uterine cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Also, hormonal drugs
are prescribed to patients with such oncological diseases as a kidney
tumor, a pancreas tumor, melanoma. In male cancers,
estrogen-containing drugs are prescribed to suppress androgens. In
female cancers, androgen-containing drugs are prescribed (Tamoxifen,
Herceptin, Taxol); For both forms of cancer, such drugs as Avastin and Zoladex are recommended; Doctors also prescribe hormonal drugs for thyroid cancer: Thyreocombe, Thyroxin. Although hormonal drugs for cancer are effective, they have the
opposite side - with long use, the body becomes immune to these drugs,
and this weakens the effect of chemotherapeutic drugs over time. Antiviral drugs for cancer Some types of cancer develop due to the action of viruses. Antiviral
drugs are prescribed to increase the resistance of immunity. One
of such viruses is the human papillomavirus. In order to strengthen the
immune system of a person with cancer, a doctor prescribes drugs based
on interferon (tilorone) solutions for internal injections or ointment
compresses. Radiotherapy Radiation therapy is based on
the harmful effect of radiation on living cells prone to rapid division.
If a person has cancer, then primarily the tumor will suffer from
radiotherapy. Doctors use devices that allow you to direct a focused
beam of X-rays to the area where the tumor is located. Healthy tissues
suffer insignificantly, especially if radiation is "delivered" directly
to the body with a probe inserted into the body through the upper
respiratory tract.
With some types of cancer and the presence of
contraindications for surgery, radiotherapy is the only method of
treatment. Radiotherapy is also prescribed to destroy or reduce the
volume of metastases in lymph nodes and other organs. Photodynamic therapy This method has recently appeared in the arsenal of oncologists.
Photodynamic therapy is a session of exposure to light of a certain
length on the tumor, which is preliminarily treated with a special drug
(photosensitizing agent), which increases the sensitivity of malignant
cells to such an effect. Under the influence of the rays, the neoplasm
decreases in size, and the effect of the course lasts for several
months. Photodynamic therapy can be used as an additional method
of treating cancer, improving the prognosis of recovery, and as a basic
medical tactic, to alleviate the symptoms of the disease in an
irreversible stage. Advanced treatment approaches If the
doctor offers treatment methods that you have never heard of, do not
think that you will be a part of an "experiment". It's not necessarily
about using some outlandish drugs or newly invented devices. This group
also includes proven methods, which were mentioned above, but with
modifications to the way they are used. For example, many modern clinics
offer patients to experience the "Cyber-knife" - a device for focused
radiation therapy, which literally burns a tumor, without incisions and
anesthesia. Another example is the use of the newest chemotherapy drugs
that block the growth of blood vessels around the neoplasm, disrupting
its nutrition. As a result, the chances of a successful victory over
cancer are increasing. Despite encouraging results of scientific
research, doctors still cannot guarantee the result in each specific
clinical situation: a patient sometimes reacts to treatment in an
unpredictable way. However, the patient and his family should do
everything possible to fight cancer. An important role in the forecast
is played by the patient's psychological mood. Complex treatment of cancer Usually, cancer treatment is combined and consists of chemotherapy,
surgery and radiotherapy. Sometimes, in addition, high-dose chemotherapy
and stem cell transplantation are prescribed. Children are treated
according to standardized schemes. In practice, such treatment requires a
well-coordinated teamwork of medical specialists in various fields:
oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, psychologists, nurses and many
other hospital staff.

Guided By The Peace of God - Fruit of the Holy Spirit
By: Joseph Ho
Because this Peace is a fruit, you
have to sow and grow or be part of a tree or branch in order to produce
this fruit. That tree is the Oaks of Righteousness and it is called the
Vine of Christ; since this Peace is from Christ Jesus and the Lord God.
If you do not practice what Jesus said, you can not produce this Peace
fruit. Ask any farmer and they will tell you that for a tree to bear
fruit we have to nourish the tree and prune it carefully while we get
rid of the nauseous insects, and we have to wait for it to absorb the
fertilizers. So it takes time and effort and great care to produce a
great fruit.
So why is this Peace so special? This Peace
comes from the Spirit of Christ. When you walk in righteousness you can
enter into God’s peace, as often as God had said to enter into his rest.
In his rest, we do not need to struggle. God will make everything
smooth in our favor. But that does not mean we don’t have to work, and
it also does not mean we need not be diligent. But it does mean whatever
we set to do; God will bless it if it is in His Will. Jesus mentioned
this Peace resting upon a place and returning back as well. So this
Peace can be given to anyone whom God deems deserving and it can return
if they are not qualified. This Peace will guard your hearts against
trouble and fear as mentioned in John 14:27. Matthew 10:13, "If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you." Luke 10:6, "If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you." John
14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to
you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid." God Is Peace God is Peace. And when you have
this Peace, then God is with you and in you. So when you experience this
Peace, then you will begin to understand this Peace is a Spirit of God. Isaiah
9:6, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the
government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Judges
6:24, "So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The
LORD is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites." Romans 16:20, "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you." 1 Corinthians 14:33, "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints," Philippians
4:9, "Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen
in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Let the Peace of God rule your Heart You
have to decide to let this Peace become your ruler in your heart. In
order to gain this Peace, we have to confess and agree to let this Peace
govern all our actions from now on. Our hearts is where the issues of
life spring from, for from our heart we make many decisions regarding
our life. Our brains only do all the logical processing of information,
but our hearts are the real source of our values and spiritual worship
of God. This is not human logical peace, its Peace of God and Christ.
The Bible mentioned many times about this Peace, Many Christians have yet to experience the meaning of Peace which is of
God. This is not about our own personal understanding which produces
this peace. It’s about the Peace that surpasses all human understanding
which comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit of God in our lives.
Christians who do not know of the existence of this Peace tends to use
their human logic to create the feeling of comfort and assurance but
that is not the same as the Peace which comes from God. This Peace is a
fruit of the Holy Spirit in our life. The Bible says the fruit of
righteousness is Peace. This Peace is not a product of our inner spirit
because we gain blessings from God solving our problems, although the
various blessings from God bring us peace when he met our needs.
This
Peace of God comes upon a person when he faces trouble. That is to say
when someone faces a big trouble, this Peace will come upon the person
and produces a lack of anxiety making him unable to panic or fear. This
Peace contradicts the present chaotic situation and works against the
normal human logical mind, making it impossible to panic.
Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you."
The
Peace of God is not the same as the peace which is a kind of human
mental attitude; it can not be produced by human thinking or training.
It’s a "Coming Upon" Peace from the Holy One which surrounds a person
and guards the person’s mind against going out of tune and panicking
with extreme fear. The "Coming Upon" Peace is not a human type of self
assurance as it’s from another separate source of power which comes upon
a person despite him not seeing the situation under control. It’s also
not a product of us being in reconciliation with God that God blesses us
with good things and so we never had to worry, and we are not talking
about the problem being solved which produces peace.
The "Coming
Upon" Peace is a power of peace which descends upon a person suddenly
even when the problem is not yet solved. When this Peace of God is
present is us we will not experience fear even when things are logically
not in order. This assurance is from a divine source that defies
understanding of the human mind. It is not self induced by any human
understanding of scripture or logic, it is one of the characteristics of
the fruit of the Holy Spirit as in Galatians 5:22,
"22But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there
is no law."
This Peace is not a human emotional feeling, it’s an
unexplainable assurance that things will be taken care of and it is a
tangible feeling. This Peace of God is a fruit of righteousness, a fruit
of the Holy Spirit as mentioned again in Isaiah 32:17,
"17 The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever."
Psalm 85:10, "Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other."
Colossians 3:15, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."
Isaiah
60:17, "Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of
iron. Instead of wood I will bring you bronze, and iron in place of
stones. I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler."
Philippians
4:7, "7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Isaiah 57:2, "Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death."
Isaiah
48:18, "If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would
have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea."
Numbers 25:12, "Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him."
Ezekiel
37:26, "I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an
everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers,
and I will put my sanctuary among them forever."
What is the effect of having this Peace?
The
effect is this Peace is a life of abundance and prosperity. Health is
Wealth, without health we can not gain wealth, as wealth is an
industrial activity which we need strength to engage to manifest it.
Maintaining this Peace requires that we pay attention to the guidance
and commands of our God. Not just the static scriptures in the bible but
also the proceeding word which comes from a living God, yes, it’s the
Rhema word, the fresh manna which God sends to us every morning.
Christians who live in the now and who walk in the Spirit will have an
overcoming life and nothing shall stand against them. When you have this
Peace of God, you actually enter into the Kingdom of God because of
this righteousness you gain the peace and because of this peace you
enter into the Joy of the Holy Spirit.
Job 22:21, "Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you."
Proverbs 14:30, "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones."
Isaiah
48:18, "If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would
have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea."
Romans
14:17, "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,
but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,"
Philippians
4:9, "9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen
in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."
Testimonies of this True Peace of God that Surpass all Understanding
There
are many mention of this Peace in the bible and in the course of my
personal walk with the Lord, I was fortunate to understand what this
Peace means and have personally experienced this Peace that surpasses
all understanding.
This Peace of God started to engulf me when I
first experience my first trouble after coming to God. I had lost my
wallet twice, once I could not find it anywhere in my house but I had
this Peace which I was unable to panic or even get worried, and several
hours later a good man came to my house and returned the wallet to me.
The other time when I lost my wallet again, I had this Peace again
overcoming me. But I don’t know where my wallet was then I hear the
voice of God telling in it was in the police post near my house. So I
called them and confirmed it was there, again all this time before I
heard from God; I had this Peace. This is the kind of Peace which
surpasses all human understanding and brings comfort and assurance that
all is well.
Many times and usually when I lost my personal things, I would
experience this engulfing Peace coming upon me. Yet another time, I had
lost my mobile phone, again this Peace came upon me and I heard a voice
saying dial your phone and you will hear it ringing. So I dialed my
mobile and true enough it was inside my boss’s car; underneath the front
seat. Such is the Peace which surpasses human logic and emotions and
brings comfort and assurance to help me in time of need.
The
latest incident of this Peace happened when I saw my friend’s email
telling me she had gone on a business trip in London, England and had
lost her passport, mobile phone and her wallet; so she desperately
needed money to bring her home. But, some how I felt this Peace within
me during this time when I was handling her urgent request. This was the
first time I felt this Peace during a crisis which is not connected to a
lost of my belongings or personal effects. It seems strange that I
would not be able to get excited over her lost; although my mind tells
me I must help her. Yet, this Peace assures me that everything will be
alright and I need not worry or do anything for her. This naturally
defies my understanding. But a while later I heard the voice of God
telling me to send an email to her boy friend; and I found out that she
is well and in Singapore.
Some strange event has taken place and
a scam on her yahoo email had made her revealed her email and password
to a syndicate which specializes in stealing emails. They counterfeited
her message and provoked all her friends to try to help her. Imagine
what trouble she would have had if she did not report this scam. And now
this Peace has helped me overcome numerous scams and tricks of the
Devil, so I trust this Supernatural Coming Upon Peace that supersedes
all understanding and bring truth and comfort while the world wrestle
with turmoil and misery. This is the kind of Peace that surpasses all
understanding and comes to guard our hearts against the devil’s ploy.
This is not the same Peace as what most people defines as peace, their
peace is not from God but from their human mind when all things come
through their understanding and they think this is the Peace that the
Bible is talking about.
You can not give what you don’t have, and
that has always been my famous quotation. No one can explain this Peace
of God since they have only experienced the human mental peace. When
all things are in order according to human knowledge, they all feel
peaceful, but when things go wrong they will have fear and panic. This
type of Peace is based on human understanding and is not the same as the
Peace of God.
Can this Peace be taken from us?
Revelation
6:4, "Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given
power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To
him was given a large sword."
This Peace can be given and can be
taken away as it is a gift to those who walk uprightly with God. So when
Peace is taken from the earth it will experience war, famine, disaster
and all kinds of punishment from God. Peace is a kind of power that can
be taken from us. The Story of Saul indicates that his Peace was taken
from him and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. But when David
played his harp, the evil spirit stopped tormenting Saul. Therefore, if
we anger the Lord God, we can have our Peace removed from us, and we
shall be under the torment of our enemy for as long as we lived.
If you want this Coming Upon Peace, you should pray to God and asked him
for it, but you have to promise to let this Peace rule your heart, I
prayed once for it and I was given this supernatural Peace to Rule my
heart. So I am guarded against the Devil’s ploy by the Peace of God.
Colossians
3:15, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of
one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."
God says if
you listen to me and obey my commands so great shall your Peace be;
it’s truly a good covenant. If you want to learn more about the deeper
truth of God please check out my website at www.kingscepter.com or send
your questions by email to me at prophet3333@yahoo.com. God bless you
all and Peace Be Upon you who follows the Lord our God and Jesus Christ.
BALTIMORE (January 18, 2020) –
Howard University
women’s basketball team fell on the road at Morgan State (MSU), 67-74,
inside the Hill Field House. With the loss, HU dropped to 10-8 (2-3
MEAC) on the season.
Offensively, the Bison struggled to find its rhythm, shooting just over 33-percent (19-of-57) from the floor.
“They [Morgan State] played a lot tougher than we did tonight,” said Howard women’s basketball head coach
Ty Grace. “I thought they did a good job rebounding and getting into transition, which helped them take good shots.”
Despite
the squad’s shooting woes, HU continued to attack the rim at will.
Overall, the Bison shot nearly 82-percent (27-of-33) from the charity
stripe.
Senior guard Ayonna Williams
(Washington) led the Bison attack, scoring a team-best 23 points while
recording seven boards and four steals. Second-year forward
Krislyn Marsh (Duncanville, Texas) notched her third double-double of the season with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Howard
trailed after one, 12-18, but fought their way back in the second
period. With less than two minutes before intermission, junior guard
Jayla Thornton (Newark, N.J.) found Williams in transition and gave the Bison a three-point lead, 27-24.
HU’s lead was short-lived as MSU regained the upper hand and momentum with an 8-0 run to finish the first half, 27-32.
After halftime, the Lady Bears extend their advantage to double-digits and held a 13-point lead going into the fourth, 43-56.
Howard
connected on all 13 freebies in the fourth and cut the deficit as low as
five, thanks to a pair of free throws from freshman
Iyanna Warren (Accokeek, Md.), but the comeback bid would fall short.
For
Morgan State (7-11, 3-2 MEAC), Jihayah Chavis led all scorers with 26
points while Dahnye Redd produced a double-double (22 points and 12
boards) in the victory.
Senior forward
Imani Bryant (Berkeley, Calif.) missed today’s contest due to injury while fellow classmate
Sarah Edmond (Freeport, N.Y.) exited the game before intermission because of an apparent lower body injury.
“Obviously,
it impacts the game tremendously,” Grace stated on not having her star
seniors. “They lead our team in multiple categories [statistically] and
their presence on the floor gets us going.
But when you’re shorthanded, others need to step up and there’s no
excuses.”
With their absence, HU missed the league’s top shot blocker (Bryant; 1.8 bpg) and third-leading scorer (Edmond; 13.9 ppg).
“We need
to get healthy,” Grace added on the upcoming week of rest. “We need
some time to heal from these nagging injuries. We’ll take some time and
get better.”
After a week away from the hardwood, HU returns home to face Florida A&M. Saturday's (Jan. 25) tipoff is slated for 2 p.m.
Two
nights later (Jan. 27), the Bison travel back to Baltimore to meet
Coppin State. The action starts 5:30 p.m. inside PEC Arena.
