Last night we went to a very poweful dinner/talk at Lakeview Baptist Church. It was for parents with special needs children. The guest speaker was Greg Lucas. He has a special son. I haven't read his book but plan to. He shared Mark 9:14-27, The Glory of God in the Valley of Disability. There were some awesome points in this message, not only for special needs parents, but everyone. I want to share the points--

1. Run to Jesus! (with your most desperate and entire scenario!). (vs. 14-18)
2. Recognize spiritual warfare but focus on the soverignty of God. (vs. 17-18, 20-22)
3. Trust God with your doubt and ask for greater faith. (vs. 22-24)
4. Meditate often on the ressurrection. (vs. 25-27) But Jesus.....



God ask questions to get to the heart of the answer--Him, He already knows the answers, He knows all. He asks the questions to show you the answers are in Him.

In Mark 9:17 (NIV), it says: A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.--We can go to God, we can bring our child/ren to Him, insert your child's name. Teacher/Jesus/God, I brought my son Trey to you...... Teacher/Jesus/God, I brought my daughter Emily to you..... Teacher/Jesus/God, I brought my son Cody to you...... Tell God your scenario, what's going on. Run to Jesus!


I wanted to share these points.
