I did not Come to Bring Peace, but Rather to Bring a Sword and Division!

[Guest kingdombrat]

Luke 12:51 

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

 

 

Matthew 10:34 

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

 

 

 

Have you ever dealt with someone who denies God but accuses you of being negative?    

 

On several occasions now a dear Friend has received the kind of news no one ever wants to hear, the possibility of Cancer.   On the first occasion, she had a spot on her leg and was told they needed to do a biopsy.   She asked me how I felt towards what the Doctor had told her.   I said, I don't believe it is Cancer, which is something you just don't say without being sure about it.   So they took a biopsy and sure enough, not Cancer.

 

The second occasion, a spot was discovered after a mammogram was performed.   And after physically examining the spot, the doctors were positive this was Cancer and even discussed removal of her mammary gland.   And they had her schedule for a biopsy.   Once again, she came to me and asked what I felt.   Once again, I told her i believe the Doctors are wrong and you will be good and to stop worrying.   By the day of her biopsy, they could no longer find the spot and after another examination there was nothing like it just disappeared.

 

After both of these incidents she asked how did I know this would not be Cancer.   God, I told her.   God had healed her and was showing her He is real and exists.

 

Then bam, a couple weeks ago she went to her dentist for a check up and the dentist discovered a loss of bone and she immediately went to Cancer.   She was then set up to see a specialist in this area and immediately he wanted to do an on the spot biopsy and he used the term Cancer.   Well, that led to contacting me.   After spending time and talking to her, she asked what I thought.   I still felt like I did before and said, it is not Cancer.   But this time, she exploded on me that I was uncaring, wasn't a true friend because I am not supporting her in her Cancer Crisis.   She said I am negative towards Doctors and hopes I suffer when she is buried after they cannot cure it.

 

That got me thinking about what Yeshua said, I suppose you think I have come to bring Peace, but nay, I have come to bring Division.   That Division between my dear Friend is my Faith and Belief in God and her disbelief.   Christ said, there will be so many in a household and due to BELIEF the people will split into division.   I am experiencing this first hand.   Now I know God is going to heal her and she will be good as she ever was.  But how many Miracles does it take before she realizes God is Real?

 

I ask for prayer in this situation and that God not only heals her completely of even simple headaches, but He wakes her up finally!

I also would ask, has anyone else dealt with such Division between a close friend or family member?

Yes. Count it all joy.

Yes my brother, several times.

The first time is the biggest shock.

Actually they were all big-time shocks come to think about it.

People wear masks and do a lot of pretending, and then one day the mask comes off, and your blind-sided and dumb-founded.

The first one was my oldest daughter who did it to me almost 30 years ago, and it is still confounds me, because we were so close and it came out of nowhere.

I raised her and my other kids in the church, but my ex-wife hated Christianity, and gave my daughter a choice who to be with.

If it was me, she told my daughter she would never see her again.

My daughter made a choice and left myself and the church for good.

I've never gotten over that, but sometimes God allows us to have crosses to bare.

Yes, and we know that the ‘sword of the Spirit’ is the Word of God and part of the Gospel armor we Christians are to put on.  Sadly, many people do not want to hear the Truth.  Revelation 1:16 also tells us that the sword is a two-edged sword. 

Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"

Yes, division has happened multiple times in my family. Mostly, it happens when family members make their own choices about Jesus, the Word of God applied to their lives, and such. It stems from no relationship to Jesus, or, an shallow affirmation of Jesus without life changing effects.

I wish it were not so, but, it does happen.  Ray . .  .

She's in my Prayers and I believe God will intercede!

Time is short and life itself is even shorter.  Those we call loved ones only have a little time left.   I am just amazed at after experiencing miracle after miracle, someone can still deny the existence of God.

Just to toss this out here:

 

Yesterday, my friend asked if I could go with her to the local dump because here dump trailer is full and creating a fly problem for her animals.  I hooked the trailer up and was already to go when it just burst into a downpour of rain.   She said, you were too late getting her and now I have to keep this trash until Tuesday.   I told her, do you see the entire cloud cover as far as the eye can see indicating massive rain?   I said, by the time we get to the dump (45 minute drive), there will be an opening of blue sky and dry land and you'll be able to rid yourself of this trash.   She just laughed and made some comment is this another God thing?   

As we drove the rain got harder and harder and she just kept giving me the, it's gonna be dry huh?   It rained so hard we almost had to stop but we were also on a timing schedule because the dump closed within less than an hour.   She just kept saying we need to turn around, your God doesn't hear you, blah blah blah.   I finally said, if God does not come through for me with what I said I still have absolute Faith in him and believe in Him.   She just laughed.

We finally arrived to the dump area.   Now mind you, within a literal 60 mile radius it was just completely dumping rain.   And literally basically smack dab within this 60 mile radius was the dump itself.   We got there and the flagger directed us to which lane to take and we got right through and headed to the actual dumping area.   On the drive to the actual dumping area, I stopped to where several employees were standing.  I said, you know all around this place it is down pouring rain.  They said, that's what everyone keeps telling us.  I asked, has it rained here at all.  Not a single drop and there was a split within the darkened gray skies reflecting a beautiful calm blue and rays of sunshine.

I looked at my friend and just laughed.

Last night she called me and said, she was reading about her bone loss and as a siliac eating wheat before people knew about gluten free has been known to create her problem.   She went from this is Cancer to now it is heredity within less than 48 hours.    She could not deny what she saw yesterday or explain it when I asked her so what happened here, raining everywhere but not here, not where you needed to go.   She still can't explain it.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOD IS SO GOOD!
