It was an early Friday morning in September of 2001 and my two year old son
had awakened with a high temperature. I decided to take him into the
emergency room to be treated, as we were traveling to the emergency room I
began to pray for healing over him. As we arrived into the emergency room
the doctors immediately took him back to a room. That day there were
numerous children waiting to be seen for pretty much the same illness, the
doctor had checked Antonio and determined what his illness was and released
him right away. While waiting on the doctor's determination I met a
wonderful woman whom right away God had lead her to minister to me. Our
spirits were kindered spirits and we knew that God had ordained this meeting.
As the woman ministered to me about what God had shown her about me
spiritually, I began to tell her about my healing ministry that God had
blessed me with and how God was using me to heal the saved and the unsaved.
The woman felt lead to ask me to pray healing over her son, hesitantly I
thought about it and I heard God say it was okay to lay hands on her son and
pray for him.
The woman's son was eight years old diagnosed with
appendicitis, the doctors had already run test on him and decided to perform
surgery.
Stepping out in great faith in what God had gifted me with I began
to lay hands on her son and pray. At this time of praying the woman's son
lay asleep with his back turned towards me yet calm and never moved, it was
as though he was at peace.
It was before the woman and I hugged and said our
goodbyes that the doctor had arrived back into the room and told the woman
that they were getting ready to prep her son up for surgery. The last words
the woman had said to me before I had left was, "Do not be disappointed, God
can work miracles even through surgery.
The woman had said, she would call me on Tuesday and invite me to fellowship with
the women of her church and for me to take care and be blessed.
The weekend passed and Tuesday finally came, wakened with excitement on Tuesday
morning I studied my word with another friend and waited anticipating the call
from the woman. It was about 12 noon and I had grown tired and decided to
take a nap I told my friend whom I had studied with that if the woman called
to please wake me so that I could receive her phone call. As I entered into
my room to lie down, it wasn't five minutes and a knock came to my door. My
friend had said I had a phone call, right at that moment the Holy Spirit told
me it was the woman so I rushed downstairs to the payphone and low and behold
it was the woman. She called to confirm about the fellowship at her church
for that night and asked me to pick her and her children up and I agreed.
Afterwards she said she had a praise report to give me. As I stood listening
with great expectation, she began telling me what the doctors had said after
I had left the hopital last Friday. She said the doctors took her son back
to run test on him again and could not find anything wrong with him and sent
him home. I was so astonished that I had to praise God on the telephone, she
told me that when she had taken her son to the hospital that he was in
tremendous pain and very sick and the doctors had gotten to the point of
prepping her son up for surgery and found nothing the second time of testing
him.
I picked the woman and her children up at 6:00 p.m. that evening for church
service and I got to meet her son whom God healed, when I saw the face of the
little boy he was someone I had taught in school and he had remembered me
from teaching him in school.
God is so wonderful and awesome and loves us so
much that he placed gifts in each and everyone of us, so with that ask God
today, God what gift have you placed in me and what would you have me to do
with my gift to help save souls, heal the sick and to find the lost sheep.
Proverbs 18:16
A man's gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.
