It's all about Love.

Hello my name is Jasper and I am a quad. Most of my body is numb from my chest down. So, most things physically I dont feel. I cant do any of the things that I used to do or go to places I used to go. But occasionally I do get out and recently I went to hear my best friend preach a ceramon. He invited me to come hear him speak and I was so blessed to be able to make it. He spoke about love. The love of Jesus as he loved us. This started me to thinking about what the Lord required of us before he left this earth. It is quite simple, but for some of us is very difficult to do. He said, and I quote, "Love one another as I have loved you". This is all he wants of his people. That we should care, love, encourage, support, and help one another. If you have the love of Jesus inside you, if you allow his spirit to move you, loving another person should not be that difficult. Maybe some of us should take a self evaluation and see where your love meter reaches. What do you do when you see your brother in need of something? Or there may be someone you know that is hurting from a situation. What do you do when you know a child doesnt have a father and he needs male attention? What do you do for the widow, a woman who has lost her husband, and has no male presence in her life? Do you watch and ignore these things or do you help wherever you can? It doesnt always take money it can simply be a kind word every now and then, a phone conversation, a caring hug, or simply devote some of your time to a person who has no one. This is what I believe the Lord would want us to do. He does not want his people divided. He wants us to all be on one accord. Loving and caring one to another. So, I encourage you to take a look at your life, how do you live it? Is it according to God's will? Or are you falling short? A lot of us claim to be children of God and yet we turn our backs for our brother in need. This is not God's way. Jesus said, "If your brother thrist, give him drink. If he hungers, feed him. If he is cold, give him your coat." How many of us have that type of thought in our minds and hearts? Very few I imagine. So think of these words the next time you have a opportunity to help someone. It's not about you or the person, but you are serving the Lord. Again, my name is Jasper and these are my thoughts.

Clinical healing and Spiritual healing

Hello, My name is Jasper and I am a quad. Almost all of us will feel an ache or pain. We have certain conditions. We have concerns which lead us to go to the Doctor. He'll look us over and based on his clinical knowledge, he will make a judgement about our condition. He may even prescribe some therapy for us or write a prescription. Load us up on all sorts of medicines to help our condition. Often time they do work, but sometimes they don't. That's when we must look towards alternative medicines, natural medicines, that have been handed down through generations. We may even have to rely on a power much stronger than either of these. The Lord's word speaks of spiritual healing, to those who believe that Jesus walked this Earth, He healed the sick. He not only healed the sick, He cured the lame, He cleansed people of life long time diseases. He raised the dead. And these acts were witnessed by many people. Sometimes, even the Doctors, the Surgeons, can reach a point where they know they can go no further. They often won't admit it, but they look towards God for a miracle healing. As we all should know, your spirit is everything. When you're are on your sick bed, or you may be having problems in your life and you don't know where or who to turn to, if you lose your spirit, if your spirit is broken, you become weak and may not be able to make it through your situation. On the other hand, if you believe and have enough faith in the Lord, it will keep your spirit strong and vibrant. You will overcome things that some people may not understand. It is the spirit of the Lord that lives inside of us that can cure us, that can heal us, that can help us move forward, if you just have faith and believe. When Jesus left this Earth, He left instruction for us to live by. He told his disciples that I give you power to heal the sick, cure the lame. You may drink poision and it will not harm you, He even said that we would have the power even greater than He. To those who believe, Jesus said that we may ask anything of The Father in His name, and it shall be given unto us. If we believe this and our faith in the Lord is strong enough, you may lay your hands on the sick, near death person, and they may be revived. You may even lay hands on the cripple and they can walk again. You may be able to lay your hands on someone with a disease, in Jesus name, and they can be cured. These things are not in my imagination, these are actual events that have been witnessed. Think about this the next time you're going through a rough period in your life. Jesus said I will never leave you, nor forsake you. This should be a comforting thought, knowing that our Lord, our God, is there with us, always. And His word is true.

I can't talk enough about God

Hello my name is Jasper and I'm a quad.

I have no feelings in the lower part of my body at all. This may seem as quite an issue to some, but it doesn't worry me as much as I thought it would for I know and I believe that God is still in control of my life. Sometimes we all get thoughts that are not quite positive- I noticed that lately I've been getting thoughts that are not quite in line with what God wants. Thoughts of what I used to do in the past. I've been a quad for going on 5 years now- I haven't been able to even touch a female for those 5 years. I can't play with my grandchildren the way I used to. In short there are just a lot of things I love to do but can't do anymore. That gives the enemy an avenue in which to attack me through my thoughts. When I find myself thinking of relationships with females, I know it’s the enemy that’s taunting me. Then that’s when I remember that the Lord says, fornication is a sin in the eyes of God. This helps to keep my mind, my thoughts, on the right path. Thinking of things I cannot do anymore is another way the enemy attacks me but again I say God can do anything that he wills for my life. He can turn a situation completely around if he desires. I don’t worry about a lot of things. The thoughts that come are not only from Heaven, but are also thoughts from the enemy. I learned to separate and understand the two. Even though I'm physically challenged I still know that I am a blessed man. I still know that I have favor with God because of what he does for me each and every day. First of all I wake up at his will, I have the blessing of being in my right mind, I can breath, I have my eye sight, my hearing, and although I don’t have much movement I still can turn my head. I can move my upper body and that is a lot more than what some quads can do, and I thank the Lord for that. He starts me on my day. I have many people that I associate with and a lot of people that know me. I have friends, good friends that I have been with for some 30-50 years, and that is a blessing. I have a wonderful family. I have healthy grandchildren that I am able to see and show love. All of that is God's will for me. I have only him to thank because I could have been dead, but he chose to let me live. So look at the bright points in your life when you are feeling negative. It's only a ploy by the enemy to upset your life. Focus not on your thoughts, but rather focus on God. Praise and worship him and your life will be fruitful.

Again, my name is Jasper and I am a quad. Thank you.
