Answered Prayer

Something great happened when I was at FBCLR on Sunday. A couple that I had never met came down to talk to me in between services. They had heard me preach there a few weeks earlier on boldly praying to God instead of the wishy-washy prayers that we often pray. The husband had been suffering from major complications to a relatively simple procedure. For six months, they had been told by every doctor that they had no idea how to treat him. They had been draining some nasty stuff out of him, about a liter a day. After the sermon, they rallied their community group to pray differently and to ask God to heal. A couple of weeks later, there was no more drainage. The doctors could not understand that or explain it. He came back two days later and still no drainage. At that moment the doctor pulled out the tube and said he didn't need that anymore and that he was fine.

No treatment, no explanation. Simply the hand of God moving in their lives.

I loved hearing that story. The looks on their faces were priceless. I could see in them a deepening love and trust in a God that loves them very much.

Do you have a story like that? Let's hear it.
