Update for 06/25/2025 - Manna House Monday and MRI results from 06/18/2025
Good evening everyone! I started this week off by helping out my brother Nathan & sister-in-law Allyson by assisting my Mom watch Allyson’s twins, my niece Izzy and nephew Skylar here at the house Monday - Wednesday for the next month during the day while Nathan & Allyson work 👍. They have lots of energy! and lots of wonderful stories! And, being the good uncle that I am, we went to Wendy’s for Kid’s Meal lunches on Monday (06/23) and then Tuesday we had excellent homemade Beef Burritos 👍 (If they were good I made them and if they weren’t I didn’t haha). Also on Monday as were running some errands, by Holy Spirit’s power I was able to pray with:
Larry and Bobby in Walmart
Stacy and Tracy in Wendy’s
and Brent outside Manna House 👍.
Speaking of Manna House,
Manna House Monday is back!
We’re back from our break last week and packed bags for the Northwood community and wow was it hot! I think I drank at minimum of a gallon of cold water just avoid heat stroke and such. We got all 150 bags packed, and I finally learned how to break down the plastic black crates that the bags go in correctly (haha). After pulling, pushing, yanking, and breaking one or two, Dawn showed me there was a small lever on the side that you pull up and the side comes down, but in my defense there were several other people who didn’t know either (haha). This would have been helpful information months ago! (haha)
MRI results from 06/18/2025
Today (06/25/2025), I got back the results from my MRI from last Wednesday (06/18/2025) and the results were Stable! and possibly shrinking but I’m not 100% sure on that as Dr. Waples said if it’s stable and not growing then it must be shrinking, so perhaps it’s Shrinking! (Skeptical on that). I’m unsure what’s been causing the headaches, migraines, and peripheral vision blurring in the corner of my eyes from time to time so I plan on talking with my neurologist about that. Prayerfully, I haven’t had any blurring since this this past Friday (06/20/2025) from what I remember 👍. While at CCI today, with Holy Spirit’s boldness, I was able to pray with:
Ron and his family
John & Charity
Josh & Charity
Ms. Claire
(and Keith at Aldi after CCI)
before going back to my appointment with Dr. Waples 🙏.
Yesterday, as I was waiting for an hour on DAD, Jesus, and Holy Spirit to speak to me, I suddenly began thinking on what the results of the MRI might be with the enemy jumping right in shooting all sorts of flaming arrows of doubtful and discouraging thoughts trying to get my faith to waver, but! that’s when I had to use the Sword of the Spirit and the Shield of Faith to fight him off! I quoted scripture out loud saying:
Psalm 118:17 (NKJV)
I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of the Lord!
Psalm 27:11-14 (NKJV)
Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
And a recent warfare Psalm I’ve been memorizing from:
Psalm 18:16-39 (NKJV)
16 He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.
19 He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23 I was also blameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27 For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down haughty looks.28 For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.31 For who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And sets me on my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You enlarged my path under me,
So my feet did not slip.37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
And…The enemy left! As the Word promises in:
James 4:7-10 (NKJV)
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Coming back to my parents home back in late 2023 after my cancer surgery, I was an easy pinyata for the enemy, and they beat the crap out of me mentally as my Shield of Faith was about the size of a dinner plate with my Sword of the Spirit being comparable to a butter knife, absolutely ineffective!
I had to quickly start memorizing and believing DAD’s Word by Faith to fight back against the enemy AND WIN. It’s not enough to hope the enemy will chill out or stop attacking you when you’re weak as his skillful specialized mission is to steal and kill and destroy you (John 10:10) and he’s had thousands of years of practice; the only language he understands is the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God! If you’re sick and all you can say is “The Blood of Jesus rebukes you,” that is sufficient! And when you get better, start memorizing warfare Psalms like Psalm 18, 19, 20, 23, 27, 91, and many others 🙏. We’re given the Word for a reason! One of the last conditions to it being effective is FAITH!
Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
And
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
So have Faith the DAD, Jesus, and Holy Spirit will do exactly what it says in His Unchanging, Consistent, Constant, Permanent, Unvarying, Everlasting Word that cannot be redefined by any speaker, academic, podcast, “intellectual,” movie, or family member that wants to justify either their own sin or someone else’s sin. How awful it would be to reach eternity just to find out someone had both deceived and cheated you out of Heaven because you didn’t daily read the Word and hear from DAD, Jesus, and Holy Spirit helping to grow your spirit man in all Truth!
Once last challenge for everyone reading this comes from:
Isaiah 55:6-9 (NKJV)
Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
My prayer request for today:
To seek the Lord’s Face & to know His Ways!
To know the Lord’s Character as Moses did.
Revival and Repentance in my own heart that I would crucify anything holding me back from Jesus, take up my cross, and die to my worldly desires.
Sharing Jesus with the lost and not shy back from it.
Healing for:
Brain Cancer.
My pancreas which will lead to weight gain.
Headaches / Migraines will not return.
Any kind of brain swelling will not return.
Epilepsy / Seizures will not return.
Blessing in Christ Jesus,
Andrew Jordan
