Rev. Enoch Fuzz, pastor of the Corinthian Missionary Baptist is joined by many who believe that prayer changes things. Prayer changes lives and situations, not as a request to simply do the things that ‘we want’ but to ask God for His will to be done. While we pray, God’s will be done. It is the job of those who pray to recognize when their prayers are answered. This is important because answered prayers are not always delivered in the way that is sometimes expected. Prayers are answered sometimes to teach; sometimes to offer something better (though it may not feel that way); sometimes to make people ‘be still’ while He works; and sometimes just to let people know that miracles do happen. Again, it is important to know when and how to recognize that prayers are always answered.
During his journey with stage four lung cancer, Rev. Fuzz prays. He has prayed for thousands of people of all colors, creeds and genders to pray together. He recognized that this type of praying has been done on his behalf, because people will often pray with him. Until his recent death, Kirk Adkisson, M.Div., (founder of All Souls of Nashville, an ethnically and economically diverse church in North Nashville) was a beloved friend who prayed with Rev. Fuzz every Wednesday during his journey. Following a brief illness, he transitioned on February 19. He will be missed, yet his prayers will forever remain and continue in spirit.
OneNashville Community Awareness meeting will meet again on Saturday morning, March 12, at 8 am. Really urgent issues are on the agenda, such as Ukraine, Unity in Nashville and the Metro budget. All are urged to attend. Davidson County District Attorney General Glen Funk and Rev. Enoch Fuzz will also hold a Ukraine Prayer Meeting and fundraiser. Joining them will be a diverse group of Nashville’s leading clergy who will offer prayers to seek an end of the senseless violence and suffering in war torn Ukraine.
The Bible says to pray without ceasing. When groups are assembled to pray together, it is to show unity, ‘touching and agreeing’ to address a specific, identified issue. When the assembly is complete, individuals are encouraged to continue to pray on that issue because prayer changes things.
While Rev. Fuzz remains on his journey, prayer for his healing is still needed. He continues to pray for each of you and “the whole wide world” because you are an important part of his journey. Also, check out his status on Facebook as he gives praise through word, songs and photos. You will be blessed. Thanks for reading and sharing ‘Cancer: My Journey in Time’ each week.
