“Clear!:Dying To Live” with Dr. John Powers

 

In this Episode of DEFENDING THE FAITH, Dr. Frank Harber interviews Dr. John Powers on the subject of Clear!: Dying To Live.” 

 

Recently John Powers was diagnosed with ACUTE LEUKEMIA. He was told he likely had six months to live if his treatments did not work. He started treatments and they were not very effective. John was dying.

 

This is an incredible story of how it is not over until it is over!

 

Pain is undeniable. Suffering is not prejudice toward anyone. Regardless of who we are, it's not a question of "if" we will hurt but rather "when" will suffering be introduced to our lives. That's why it is so important that we prepare today for tomorrow's struggles. Imagine standing on a bank of a body of water and skipping a stone across the surface. Each time the stone touches the water a ripple effect is created and grows to the water's edge. Likewise, pain can create uncontrollable and inconceivable ripple effects in our lives too. We encounter it personally. It impacts those around us. However, the depth and severity of pain cannot be calculated. It must be experienced. 

 

Pain is like taking an exam and then we get the answers afterwards, A season of suffering can be so vast, so deep that wrapping our minds around the experience seems impossible. Fellow sufferer, there is hope for all of us. I trust these studies will encourage you to fight for life...your life. Any struggle demanded of us requires a personal decision to stare it down with resolve to beat it. There is a brighter day coming. May sunshine warm your face and healing winds be at your back. May you discover the joy of dying to live. Whoever chooses so will never be the same!
