Healed

“Pray for each other so that you may be healed” (James 5:16).
We were driving to an evening meeting where we would be sharing what God was doing through our ministry. I had a long day at work and was very tired.
On the way, I started experiencing extreme pain in my upper back. It became so severe, I felt nauseous. When we got to the meeting, I said to my husband, “Marvin, will you pray for me, my back is so sore I feel terribly sick.”
He put his hand on my back and asked God to heal me. A simple prayer, but as he prayed a felt a warmth come over my back. After the prayer, we got out of the car and went to the meeting. Immediately we began interacting with the guests and I didn’t think about my back again until later. God had healed me.
This incident took place just over eight years ago. One of the presentations we were making was on the great potential of reaching and discipling people around world through the Internet. During that presentation, God tapped me on the shoulder and told me that this was the area He wanted me to spend my energy from now on. God has a sense of humor, because I had just recently learned how to use a computer and didn’t know anything about the Internet.
However, when I yielded the control of my life to God years ago, I said I would be obedient to do what ever He asked me to do. I trusted Him to bring in the qualified staff, funding and expertise to develop a successful website. God blessed far beyond my wildest dreams. The visitors doubled every year - from a few hundred to over 240,000 visitors a month. Thousands of people have come to know Christ, are being discipled and trained. To Him be the glory!
That night God healed my back. The pain did not come back. I suspect the enemy was trying to stop me from going to this meeting so I wouldn’t get the vision of reaching and discipling through the Internet.
I am so thankful that my husband prayed for me. I am so thankful God healed me. I am so thankful He provides all I need to be obedient to His call.
How about you? Is there something that is stopping you from being obedient to God’s call? Why not ask someone to pray for you.
Father, thank You for Your healing power. Thank You for your abundant provision to heed your call on our life. Thank You for the privilege to work alongside You in what You are doing. I love You! Amen.
