Miracles: God's Love a Reality

Within the last few weeks, we have seen many miracles take place as we prayed for people with various illnesses and physical conditions. Almost all of these people have been miraculously healed, simply because Jesus loves them so much, and He wants to make that love a reality for them. This post will cover just a few of the many healings that have taken place recently.

One Sunday I was in the front of the church, along with many others who were with me to pray for the sick as they came forward. One man came to me who was completely deaf in his left ear. I snapped near his ear to check and see that he was completely deaf. He gave no response to the noise, so then I prayed for him that Papa God would reveal His love to him by healing his deafness. After I was finished praying for him I checked again to see if his hearing had returned to that ear. I snapped again near his left ear. As I snapped his eyes opened really wide and he nearly jumped back. I asked him if he could now hear in that ear and he said yes that he could! His eyes said it all, as he was so full of joy at what the Lord had done for him.

Another time we were out on an outreach at night [in Madolenihmw], when we noticed a boy with sunglasses on. His name is Tyson. We spoke with him and his family, and found out that he was ten years old and had been blind from birth, having no eyeballs that had ever formed. So we prayed for him, asking the Lord to form new eyeballs so that he would be able to see. We looked at his face after praying and noticed that an iris and pupil were beginning to form under his eyelid. He began to tell us that for the first time in his life he could see light! Our friend Loveleen was with us, and we asked Tyson what color her shirt was, and he told us the exact color: white! He then told us with his childlike faith that he would see completely. I have never seen faith quite like what Tyson has. The miracle started then, and Tyson's faith will see it through as God continues His healing work. We're believing that he will be able to see completely.

At another more recent outreach [in Kitti], we had the opportunity to pray for a man who had recently undergone a stroke and was thus unable to move his hands and was unable to walk. We found out his name was Benjamin. We then went on to pray for his healing, and as we finished, he began to stretch out his hand. He was previously unable to do this, and as he continued to stretch out his hand the largest grin crept across his face as he realized what God had just done for him. He knew that Jesus was healing him! That night he also began to walk again, which he also couldn't do. Jesus blessed Benjamin that night by healing him from the affects of stroke. His ear-to-ear grin marked the love and joy of the Lord that was upon him that night.

I am constantly so blown away by how good our God is. He loves us so much, as we are His kids and He is our Dad. He loves to reveal His love to us in so many ways, and I am so glad that He chooses to be not only Savior and King, but Healer and Friend to us as well.
