Joe and Janet

Teri, dear one…

More and more people are learning of the situation and the prayers are spreading like glorious, Heavenly wildfire. I pray strength for you especially today. Caring for your Temple , though difficult when you're focused on Randall, will keep you strong for him as he progresses. Here is the Word I received for you:

"Faith is believing that HE Can … Trust is knowing that He Will."

It is your 'Trust' the Father is looking for, Teri…not your Faith in what man can do. Faith is of the mind, will and emotions; Trust is of the spirit. Did you know that the word "faith" is mistranslated from the Greek in Scripture? The word is "Trust" and means something completely different. Faith is a head knowledge and a "hope" that God "can" raise Randall from his sickbed. Trust is an unwaivering, unrelenting "knowing" in your heart of hearts that HE WILL!!!!

"Faith" can easily be rocked by fear and doubt. But "Trust" is beyond the reach of such emotions. As Job said, "Though he slay me, yet will I "Trust" Him." When we reach the place where we are able to give God permission to have the final decision over our loved ones—even if it is not what WE want—then God is free to release them back to us, completely whole. Remember the story of Abraham and Isaac…. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac, on the altar. Abraham obeyed, but he also "trusted" that God would somehow deliver Isaac. And he did!

Teri, I bless you with a quickening of supernatural "Trust" in the midst of man's reports; man's efforts; man's medicine; man's fears, doubts and unbelief. You are surrounded with people of good heart who are fearfully "hoping" for the best. Their prayers are in "faith," but yours must be in "trust." Those around you, though well-meaning, are fearful and that is brushing up against you. The doctors are "cautiously optimistic" which is fear-based and counterproductive to the spirit.

This is a journey you will have to walk by yourself alongside the "One who knows you and Randall best." "Trust in the Lord with your whole heart; lean not on your own understanding – Or Anyone Else – Submit your way unto Him, and He will direct your path – and Randall's, too."

With much love and Trust in Him,

Joe and Janet
