Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Surgery is just one approach to cutting out cancer. It is not the only approach and is often used as a last desperate act to deter life’s most dangerous disease.

The Word is our first and best and only way to spiritually cut out the sin that is killing our souls.

The flesh will want us to use the cancer approach as the last desperate act rather than using the cure.

Galatians 5:17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

Do we want to live free of sin or be a slave to sin?

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (English Standard Version)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Strange as it may seem God exists in the eternal finished works and the plans He has made for us are set in stone. They will not change.

Some of those plans have already played out for some of us. For all of us who have placed our faith in Jesus Christ that plan of salvation has begun and we are experiencing how that plan works out for us as we live this life of faith. That salvation plan is in motion and will continue to be a force in our life until we return home to Him.

Welfare means different things to different people. The KJV calls that “thoughts for peace”.

I am restless at the moment. That is a sign to me to seek Him.
