"MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU -- The Story of My
Cancer" PLUS: "He Is Singing Over You Today!"
by Michal Ann Goll
www.MichalAnnGoll.com
 Well,
the holidays are upon us! Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas will soon be here.
My heart is torn about what to write on, as this time frame holds so much importance
in our hearts. So, I've decided to write on something near and dear to me that has
seen me through the most difficult season of my life. It is my Christmas gift to
you!
Many Blessings!
Michal Ann Goll
"MY BELOVED"
"[She said distinctly] My beloved is mine and I am his!"
Song of Solomon 2:16a, Amplified Version
I want to share a short but very significant experience I had with the Lord about
a year ago. About this time last year I was diagnosed with colon cancer. When I
heard this diagnosis and was faced with my limited options, I so wanted to be healed
supernaturally!
Now, I've known times of divine healing, like
when I was healed from barrenness in 1982 (we now have four children!). I've also
known amazing times of angelic visitation, like the weeks in the fall of 1992. I
know this stuff does happen and can happen -- to me!
Believe me, every night when I went to bed
I cried out to the Lord for Him to release His healing presence to me. "Send Your
healing angels to deliver me from this awful curse!" I cried. "Now would be a great
time to be released, to be healed."
I called out to Him night after night; each following
morning left me a day closer to having to go through surgery to remove my colon.
But I continued to pray, believe, and expect.
During this time, I did not sense angels coming to touch me, although I'm not saying
that they didn't come. I did not sense a healing grace from the Lord touching me,
although I must say I don't know everything the Lord gave to me as I slept. Here
is what I do know...
Every night as I went to bed, I heard the quiet voice of God come to me in my heart,
and remind me, "I am my beloved's, and He is mine."
LIFE-FILLED WORDS
In the morning I would say back to Him, "Yes,
I know, but I need to be healed! Please, Papa, send your healing angels to me!"
Night after night He would repeat these words
to me. I was having a hard time receiving what He was saying. I was panicking; time
was running out! I didn't want to go through this valley! I wanted to escape! I
was desperate!
Slowly, I finally began to get it, at least a little bit. No matter what my circumstances
were, He was telling me the most important thing I could ever hear. Angels could
not give this most beautiful gift to me! Only my Father God could! Now, I kept asking
for the healing to come, even the very moment before I went into surgery. I hung
onto His words, singing over me -- I am my beloved's and He is mine!
Those words were what held me steady and secure through that fiery trial! Those
words hold me every day of my life, close to Papa's heart, and kept me out of the
miry bog of fear, depression, hopelessness, and doubt. Those words filled me with
life, with an ever deepening gift of healing that goes beyond my flesh into every
aspect of my being.
HE IS SINGING OVER YOU TODAY
For most of us the holidays are a wonderful time, but for some the holidays are
very difficult, even quite depressing because they remind us of what (or who) we
don't have! Please hear Papa calling to you today! He is singing over each one of
us that He loves us, that He is ours, and we are His and His alone! May the enemies
of depression, loneliness, rejection, and suicide be broken off each of our lives
as we receive God's proclamation of eternal love over us!
Wow! Now that's good news! Receive His love for you in this blessed Christmas season
and beyond! It will hold you steady and secure from this moment on! I am my beloved's
and He is mine!
"Love is the basic need of human nature,
for without it, life is disrupted emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically."
~Karl Menninger
"SING THEM OVER AGAIN TO ME, WONDERFUL WORDS OF LIFE"
Dear Papa!
"Sing them over again to me, wonderful words
of life" -- These words from a dear old hymn are the cry of our hearts. We need
to hear Your words, singing over us.
Dear Lord, we're so sorry that in times
past, we have not valued Your words of love and comfort as we should have, and we
have looked for something else to bring assurance, rest, and peace. At times we've
been like spoiled little children on Christmas morning, looking for more presents,
not valuing the gifts we've already received. We ask you to forgive us and wash
us clean!
"Sing them over again to me, wonderful words
of life!" We love Your words!
In Jesus' Name, Amen
APPLICATIONS
God's love for us is unconditional! God's love is faithful! What He has promised
He will make come to pass. Each and every promise He has ever made to us, His children,
He will fulfill. This is what His Bride, His body, needs to really hold on to.
This holiday season is a wonderful time to really make a point of getting this truth
down deep into our hearts! Take time to meditate on what it means to be His beloved!
Meditate on His promises to you, and remember His acts of faithfulness to you and
your family. This really helps cultivate a thankful, grateful heart that will serve
you well throughout the rest of your life. Let this Christmas season be a pivotal time when
the roots of God's abiding love really go deep into your heart!
If you have been helped today through this devotional, consider printing out 5 copies
to give to people who maybe don't have e-mail capacity; perhaps to some of our elderly
brothers and sisters in Christ. Be blessed and encouraged this day!
Many Blessings!
