The comfort of a minister’s voice and God’s Healing touch!

One of the most frightening things facing new parents is an illness of their child. I remember when my firstborn infant son developed “whooping cough” … It was a terrible sounding cough that is distinctive because every breath taken is a battle. Every inhale my son took was a wheezing battle to breathe!

We were praying for him, and we made sure we got proper medical attention … but we were afraid…

James 5:14-15

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, & the Lord will raise him up.

We called our minister, and he was at our door within 15 minutes! He asked a few questions and then took up our son in his arms … and rubbed a couple drops of anointing oil (olive oil) on my son’s forehead – and he prayed.

After the prayer, our pastor passed our son back to us and smiled and said “He will sleep well tonight!” … And, with those words, he disappeared back into the night. We were comforted by his urgency, caring and faith — reminded how Jesus loves little children. And my son DID sleep well through the night! Perhaps God is most kind to “young believers” who need to see his mighty works performed though a quiet prayer and anointing.

2Ch 16:9

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.

I believe in the power of Prayer to our Father … because I have seen miracles in my life
