Lame
walk...we did not know the miracle had happened...the Doctor told us afterward
This
is what happened:
The
Lord is good, His mercy endures forever. AMEN
I felt a tug on my heartstrings as a few of the young people at the school I was teaching indicated their desire to go on a short mission trip. They were so totally sold out for Jesus and going on a mission, was strong on their hearts. We went with Keir and Kallie Taylor of Hand in Hand International. About 8 young people combined with another 30 or so Americans and Germans. After a few days of training at Eshowe Christain Fellowship, with Pastor Van der Merwe, to equip us for the mission trip, we set off to the Mozambique border. We stayed at a Catholic Church in Manyeseni, sleeping on the floor and in the Kombi outside. It was tough going but worth it. We witnessed so many miracles during our time there. I will attempt to record them all on this Blog. On this occasion, we had gone to the local hospital to pray for the sick and hurting. A small group of us decided we would go to the Tuberculosis Ward and pray. I recall being with a lady teacher from Thomas Moore College and another young lady from Kloof High School. Kerry was her name.
We
got permission to enter the ward and walked about with seriously sad hearts as
we looked at all the people lying in their beds, many as thin as rakes.
I
can still see them, some sitting outside on the grass, just enjoying the
outdoors
One of the gentlemen from Mozambique caught our attention. He was sitting on the grass all by himself, and he has urinated in his blue hospital pajamas. Oh, we felt such compassion for him, with tears in our eyes we sat down next to him and offered to pray with him for his TB to go. He did not speak English and the interpreter was with another group somewhere else in the Hospital. Anyway, it did not take much to understand, he indicated we pray for his chest condition. This was the TB WARD, so we laid hands and prayed. Just as we finished praying we noticed the other folk sitting on the grass get up and head inside due to the fine drizzle that had started coming down. We asked him if he wanted to rather go inside and he just sat there, wet with urine. The rain was starting to fall. He indicated his knees were sore, so we thought OK, it must be arthritis or something so we laid our hands on his boney knees and prayed. After that, due to the rain falling fairly fast now, we decided to help him in. Well he held on my shoulder and on the Lady Teacher from Thomas Moore College and we walk him in slowly. As we got in the door of the ward, we saw a British Lady Doctor. I can still see her, hair in a
pony tail, glasses on the end of her nose, looking through her Bifocals at her clipboard. I asked her "Excuse me Dr, could you tell us where this man's bed is please?" to which she lifted her head, her eyes enlarged slightly in alarm and she said "That man does not walk!!! His mattress is there behind the door on the floor! I have been here for 2 years and he crawls out every day and crawls back to his mattress in the evening. HE IS LAME, HE CANNOT WALK! Well we did not know any of this. We did not even realize God had healed him, he walked with us, just holding on to my shoulder and the lady teacher for balance, but he walked on his own two pins that is for sure.
AMAZING
MIRACLE, LAME MAN HEALED, WE DID NOT EVEN KNOW, how amazing is that friends
Jesus
the same yesterday today and forever
Give your life to Jesus friend, don't take chances with an eternity without Him. Invite Him into your heart. Just pray "Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins, for taking my place. I give my life to you right now. I know you arose from the dead on the 3rd day and you are now seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. Holy Spirit come live in me, cleanse me, in Jesus name AMEN. Yahoooooooooo! If you prayed that prayer sincerely from your heart, you are now born again, get reading your Bible, ( Matthew, James as a start) try a Living Translation and get into a Bible-based, Spirit-fille Church.
A good rule of Thumb if you do not see signs and wonders in the church you attend, leave. Look for a church where the Holy Spirit is welcome. Signs and wonders will always follow the preaching of the word
