touching his robe

<< < (2/4) > >>

--- Quote from: octoberose on March 13, 2015, 12:08:00 AM ---I keep thinking if I could touch the robe of his garment, he would heal my son. Why can't I get there?
  Ray told me once that to have the faith that moves mountains requires absolute faith and obedience. I tired to find the exact words from him but haven't found it yet. God has given me a mountain to be moved that looks about as hopeless as the Hebrews waiting to be set free by the Egyptians- and we know how that turned out. In His time, in His way and with much loss of life.
 Our son hasn't talked to us in over two months. He just refuses. I  believe that God is doing a work that I can't see - and then I fall into hopelessness. And then I get back up again and believe. Again and again. I want to walk on that water straight towards Him and not drown.
 We need wisdom what to do, how to handle things. Do we keep paying for some things even when he won't talk to us? Is he clinically depressed?  My husband and I need wisdom. Nathan needs God.  Please continue pray if you feel led to.

"c&p from a similar trial

If I could just touch His robe—it was the one thought that pushed her to get up that morning despite her pain, go outside and face the crowds, look like a fool if need be as she pushed her way through, and risk being beaten to a pulp, all for the sake of one hope — to touch the garment of Jesus".

as I understand the word, her thoughts were in just touching his robe, that is prior to her actually touching grabbing the (outer garment) she would be made "whole" she was then compelled to push Force her way through the "mob" ( representing false,untaught,unbelief,lies )I believe,and grabbed hold of Jesus outer garment.

I believe Blind Bartimaeus was not to far off an exact experience

It has been said that our physical ailments are indicative of our spiritual state...

I  believe that you may have been given a key from the Father, ask him to guide you thru the mob of lies and deceit. We often however,in desperation, even turn back to our carnal state, in a desperate attempt to get His attention I have no doubt yours is similar.

You have His attention. He caused the circumstance and He knows the outcome, Hezekiah was given a death notice.

God caused him to ...well lets read it   

2Ki 20:1  At that time Hezekiah became sick and almost died. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him and told him, "The LORD says, 'You will die soon, so you should tell your family what they should do when you die. You will not get well.'"
2Ki 20:2  Hezekiah turned his face to the wall that faced the Temple and began praying to the LORD.
2Ki 20:3  "LORD, remember that I have sincerely served you with all my heart. I have done what you say is good." Then Hezekiah cried very hard.

2Ki 20:4  Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, he received this message from the LORD,
2Ki 20:5  "Go back and speak to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: I heard your prayer and I saw your tears, so I will heal you. On the third day you will go up to the Temple of the LORD.

Now I believe this is the experience (prophecy) that Jesus had in the garden prior to crucifixion, Jesus experienced it Physically for our sake... we experience a spiritual likeness

There was a time, I recall, in a lonely prison cell, being bought to a place of literal unceasing "sobbing" before my God and your God, when I arose from that state ...

that circumstance was made whole,on the third day


May The Lord reveal to you, why he led you to that particular scripture at this particular time.

He will Keep you pushing thru the mob...

Dear Rose,
I’m so sorry to hear about your continuing problems with your son; it must be so heart-breaking and discouraging for you and your husband. As Alex said, though, you will “get there”—maybe not now, but eventually—as will Nathan as well, at God’s appointed time. Until then, I hope that you can wait for God’s perfect will to work itself out in your life. 

14 Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD. (Psalm 27:14 AKJV)
 
Regarding Nathan’s behavior, I obviously have no idea what may be behind it; however, as you mentioned, some type of psychological condition affecting him would certainly seem to be a possibility. Maybe, if you’re able and he is willing, you could arrange a psychological evaluation for him. I will continue to pray for God to deliver you and your family from this trying situation. 
Your brother in Christ,
Randy

Joel:
Hi Octoberose,
I noticed when I was rereading your prayer request that it has been several months since you first posted.
I hope things are better for you and your family now.
There is a account recorded in Mark 9:24 that came to mind where Jesus healed a man's son that his disciples weren't able to do anything for.
The man said something to Jesus that reminded me of you.

Matthew 9:24-And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, LORD, I believe: help thou mine unbelief.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. My he help your son, and my the name of the LORD be glorified.
Hoping to hear a good report soon.

Joel

octoberose:
Thank you Joel for remembering us.
  God has taken things that are a chore to work out and handed Nathan a reason and a need to talk with us. He and his dad had to work out some financial things. Apparently that went well (at least my husband perceived it that way). Then Nathan's health insurance was cancelled- they said the amount we were paying was $20 off- Nathan says he received no such notification. So, we had to talk about that and for the first time in months I actually had a phone conversation with him. And now our dog, who of course was his dog, is probably dying. She's in ill health and Nathan is responding when I tell him about her. So, here we have finances, insurance, and our sweet almost eleven year  old dog probably dying of cancer and all of that has been reason for communication! 
 Nathan's birthday was June 3 and it was a hard day for several reasons, but in the midst of the hard I could tell that so many people were praying and He carried me through.
 Nate even wished his sister (the one he holds a grudge against) a happy birthday via text . That was amazing. I think since she just recently found out she was pregnant again that brought out the tender side of him. How this all works to bring Nathan to know our God, I don't know. But it is a sign of his heart a little less hard toward his family.
 I understand that father in Matthew 9. I know God will work all things out in the counsel of His own will- I just don't know what His will is.
 Randy, we have encouraged him to seek counseling and so far he has rejected it.  I would appreciate it if you join us in praying for good counsel for him.
 Oh, and I never thanked Ian. Thank you so much Ian. I am pushing through-a little at a time.

repottinger:
I guess that that's not surprising in many ways, Rose, but maybe in God's due time Nathan will change his mind. I'm very happy, though, to hear about the positive developments that He has already brought about, and I will continue to pray for further progress.
Your brother in the Christ,
Randy
