Exalt the King Never Give Up

Have you ever had a bad feeling like something awful was going to happen, but you were just not sure what or when? During the months of April and May, 2008 several members of our family and I had this kind of unusually dark feeling, like thoughts of something looming over our heads. These first hints of doom turned out to be a nightmare that went on thru December 2008. It was a feeling of something unknown, and led to an uneasy atmosphere. For awhile we mostly shook it off as just one of those things that happens to you and doesn't really have an explanation. However, the consensus later came to light, when we all collectively ended up in the hospital with my dad, wondering if he would live or die, that it must've been him that we were feeling uneasy about during those months. During this time, our family struggled with the prospect of losing a pivotal member of our lives. As we saw the mysterious illness afflicting him take on everything modern medicine had to offer, we braced for the worst. And why not brace for the worst? We were well aware that the principle generator of this illness was well documented as one that had no known medical cure. It was during this time that our family and my dad decided to put the faith we had in the healing power of Jesus Christ to test. If the healing and deliverance stories we had read in the Holy Bible are true, would He give us this kind of miracle? Is Jesus really the Son of God? Does He really hear our prayers, and actually answer them? Can He cure any affliction, even one of our modern-day "incurable" diseases? We would find out, but we would also find out the there is another power; a dark destroyer who opposes God's goodness and seeks to kill all He loves. Who would win? It would not be a time for weakness or fainting away. There would be encounters with spiritual manifestations. With enlightenment comes the burden' of the knowledge of good and evil. Our family found out that Jesus truly does exist, as does his enemy, Satan. They operate in the spirit world that many people refuse to believe in. Once revealed, this spirit world can be seen in all aspects of life and death. Once you see it, you understand that it has been here all along, operating like a yin and yang or good versus evil. To believe in or accept one, you must believe in and accept the other!
