2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;
* Moses:
Exodus 2
23
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died:
and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they
cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered HIS covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
I John 5
14 And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us:
15 And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM.

Exodus 1
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
*Joshua and Caleb:
Numbers 13
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was HE grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware HE that they should not enter into HIS rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
September, 2022: Surgeon says to Pam: You must have a series of chemotherapy followed by surgical removal of your bladder. If you do not do this, you will be dead in a year, 2 years at the very most. Then for remainder of your life you must wear a bag or device to artificially remove waste from your body.
Pam
didn't mind having the chemotherapy treatments, but she greatly minded
the thought of removal of her bladder and having to use artificial means
for waste removal for the rest of her life. So Pam ask God if there was
any way surgery could be eliminated from the cancer plan.
God changed the plan to chemo with radiation. No surgery.
* Joan Boney: to God: upon being told of Pam Padgett's cancer. "This is illegal! YOU put me to live at Pam Padgett's house. YOU are not going to kill Pam and leave me alone to try to take care of 2 dogs and 4 cats when I can't even take care of myself.
The Bible says of YOU: James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
With YOU there is no variableness, and not even a shadow of turning.
This will not happen. YOU cannot be overcome this way. There is not even a "shadow" of turning with YOU.
YOUR plans come to pass. Nothing and no one overcomes YOU.
Now ...Cancer is gone from Pam. All tests for cancer negative now

2020: While test driving Acura MDX car: God said to me: "You should drive a Mercedes."
(We bought that Acura. 3 1/2 years later, we bought a Mercedes and got rid of the Acura.) God got us where we needed to be. We bought a Mercedes and sold the Acura.)
In the previous years, I had 7 broken bones in my body. I needed a car with good air suspension which I could ride in without pain. God knew which car that would be and HE told me, but at first I didn't follow HIM and the pain when I rode in the Acura was constant. That has not been the case with the Mercedes.
God knows the way we should go and HE tells us but we must follow HIM to win.
