Goodness and love for life

30th November, 2006 (Thursday)

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me… 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.(Psalm 23:4-6)

Today, Pastor Li went to the hospital to extract ascites. He is vomiting a lot and has not eaten much in the recent week. The doctor said Pastor Li does not have enough protein and gave him an injection. Also, his potassium level is a bit high while the sodium level is a bit low. He can take more salty food. Pastor Li’s SGOT is still high, so he feels very tired and weak. His liver is not functioning well too. We have to pray cordially and ask God to protect him and heal his liver. He has stopped taking Chinese medicine since this Sunday so as to lessen the burden of liver. Regarding the ascites, the doctor told Pastor Li not to drink too much water, around 1.2 litre per day.
We proclaim :
18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
(Matthew 18:18-19)
Prayer request :
1. We pray God to cease the attack on Pastor Li from Satan, heal his liver infection, lower the level of SGOT and protect his liver.
2. We pray the Holy Spirit would guide Pastor Li’s diet, so that both the food and medication are beneficial to his health.
3. We pray Jesus will give Pastor Li a firm faith, so that he can get hold of God’s promise of healing and focus on God.

** During this period, Pastor Li needs a lot of rest and focus on God. We appreciate brothers and sisters for not visiting him or calling. Pastor Li would get in touch with you when necessary. Also, we are thankful for your prayers.
