Jeff, thank you for the update.
I am praying that the CIR method would receive a favorable report from Dr. Rhines’ contacts in Japan.
Your analogy of Paul and Ananias was very touching concerning you and Dr. Rhines. I am always amazed that the Biblical accounts says that Ananias is told to go to the street called Straight in Damascus to find Paul. Jesus knew the name of the very street where His servant Saul, soon to become Paul, was located, so Ananias could find him.
In the same manner, Jesus knows the most intimate detail of what is going on with His servant, Jeff Head.
Dr. Rhines’ name has a meaning, too:
“The name Rhine originates from the Indo-European root “reie,” meaning to flow. The closest literal translation of the word is “raging flow.””
I have prayed that a “raging flow” of healing would flow through Dr. Rhines’ hands to your body, Jeff.
I have also prayed for your wife, Gail, who is your strength when you are weak. A loving God designed marriage just for times like this, when one cannot walk without the other. She sounds like a terrific woman, and I am sure you would be the first to agree.
I would encourage all Freepers to join in prayer for you, Gail and Dr. Rhines. A rope of three cords is not easily broken, the Bible says. When you add the power of the Holy Spirit, that is a rope that will not yield.
We are with you, Jeff, on this journey that our Father has planned for you. May He bless you, Gail, and Dr. Rhines as you travel it.
Wonderful response -exit82
Thanks Jeff for taking the time and making the effort to give this update.
Earnest prayers continue and as more details unfold as exit says pray-ers can be united in praying specifically for you, your wife, your doctors and nurses and now about opening doors for this treatment in japan.
Have been in a Bible study that is called “Believing God” by Beth Moore.
It has a book, a workbook (which is what I use), and either audio or video dvd’s.
It’s aimed primarily at women who are doing Bible studies together......but I believe you and your wife might really benefit during this time of trial from (when you feel like it) from at least listening to the audio dvd’s...If you are interested - PLEASE FReepmail me and I will send you a setm of the audio dvd’s.
God be close to you both every step of the way.
