Pray for SteveO

I heard his voice just a few minutes ago. It is Sunday morning and my heart is quite heavy as I heard SteveO talk to me I know he is hurting today.

For those of you who have not heard about SteveO there is an extensive background in a blog early in June. A quick review is that SteveO's brain tumor was found to have cancer in it. He has been cancer free for approx. 14 years. The right side of his body has been paralyzed since his brain operation 14 years ago but he gets around just fine. Now here recently he started having lots more seizures, they tested him found the cancer had returned and put him through a procedure called the "gamma-knife." Since that procedure his seizures have been less but he is in pain with head pressure and is quite weak, which really bugs him. In the midst of all of this he turned 45, he has a wife and son that have been through all of this with him and some great friends that love him.

SteveO is a big part of Total Victory Ministries and he was to do the daily blog. Since his recent developments I do the blog per SteveO's phone calls. The intention of this blog is to reveal how Total Victory is possible with Jesus and SteveO just gives his thoughts, prayers, Scripture readings and, basically, shares what he and the Lord spoke about during his quiet time with Him!

To know ths man is in pain, uncomfortable, and frustrated is tough for us around him because we love him so much. Yes, we cannot explain why SteveO has to go through this but I will tell you that lots of people in the medical world have been touched by the Lord through SteveO's actions, words and prayers! The other thing that SteveO reminds us all of is that God loves him more than we can think or imagine, he reminds us that if Jesus could bear the tortuous cross for him then he knows that with Jesus he can get through anything. SteveO is the living example of Total Victory!

Today's quiet time with the Lord led him to Isaiah 9:6 -

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

This promise was given to us by the Lord hundreds of years before it happened through the prophet Isaiah. It is talking about the coming of Jesus the Christ. Read the Bible and you will experience life changing things. God's word is true, He never breaks His promises, Jesus died for our sins and He defeated death and in Him we have total victory!
