" He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Oh, that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men !"

Jim and I would like to thank all of you for
your prayers. By the grace of God and your loving prayers, Jim
was able to survive sepsis, pneumonia, pleurisy and colitis. A
huge order, but we do have a wonder-working God.
This all came about from an "innocent" dog-bite back in
March. Little did we know how life-threatening a dog-bite can be.
The sepsis came on unexpectedly that day, even though it was a
month later. I had no idea when I woke up that morning that my
husband could easily have been in eternity by night-fall.
We owe a lot to those persons in the medical field that by God's
grace and their skill kept Jim alive.
The Great Healer, Jehovah-Rophe is our basic trust and
hope.
" I am the LORD that healeth thee " Exodus 15: 26.
We found that by the daily reading of the word, healings
progressed.
" He sent His word and He healed them" . Psalm 107:20
JAMES 5: 14, 15 -- In the Emergency Room for
24 hours
Our Pastor-friend, Sal Saucedo and his wife
Grace, came and anointed Jim with oil while he was in the
Emergency Room the following morning
(14 hours after arrival ), and in that same hour Jim's condition
was then upgraded from Intensive care ( ICU ) to a guarded
condition.
That was a vast difference. ICU means the
condition may get better, or it can get worse.
Any upgrade from ICU means that the patient is progressively
healing.
The Lord gave Jim a vision a few weeks after he returned from the
hospital, resting at home.
Jim saw the right hand of God -- as large as the Universe-- and
Jim, a tiny dot standing in the palm of God's Hand. And Jim heard
these words: " You are in my Right Hand, and no one can
pluck you out". [ John 10: 28, 29 ]
As those words were spoken, God's Hand closed over Jim in a
Fatherly grip.
It was the reassurance we needed to know that "Underneath
are the Everlasting Arms". [ Deuteronomy 33:27 ]
In a few more weeks, Jim will be undergoing surgery for the
removal of an AAA ... abdominal aortic aneurysm. It has reached
the size where it must be operated on. We once again humbly ask
for your prayers. Please ask that
1. The Lord miraculously remove this aneurysm from his body ...
and if not then,
2. That Jim gains weight and strength for the operation
3. That the doctors have great wisdom and skill in treating this
aneurysm
4. And that the healing process goes smoothly and well.
We encountered many good people in this
experience .... mostly people of Faith.
They proved that God is always with us. " I will never leave
you nor forsake you" [ Hebrews 13: 5
]
In Him,
Jim and Angela Goodrick
