I am embarking on a prayer project in which I hope to gather as many people as I can. I want to see God do something that has never been seen or heard about by myself and others in my lifetime. I want to see God heal what doctors consider unhealable. I want to see God heal my son.
When Praise was born, God gave us this verse. "As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him." John 9: 1-3. Many people can say that yes indeed, the works of God have been displayed in him. But, sickness and disease are not from God. Praise is not living a life where we pray, "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Can Praise lead a life that honors God and gives glory to Him? Yes! But, God did not design the human body to be as his is. So, I want to see a miracle.
You see, every once in a while on my yahoo group for chromosome 8 issues (which Praise has), you will get a mother pregnant with a baby who through testing has been determined to have a chromosome 8 disorder. They ask questions about what to expect and the responses are always encouraging about how these children tend to be happy and some issues with chromosome 8 can be fairly mild, but still there. You hear from them for a couple of times and then nothing. They drop out of a group existing to support the very child they carry. My only thought is that those children are never born. There is no cure for kids who have chromosome disorders. IS THERE NOT A GOD IN HEAVEN?!?!?!
So, do you want to pray an "on earth as it is in heaven prayer?" Big B and I have prayed for his healing for 13 years now. We want to see something that can't be explained away happen in our generation. Can God do it? Yes! Does He want to? Yes! Why haven't we seen it yet? We don't know, but we do know that He is at His very core good and loving. If we never see a miracle in Praise in this lifetime, does that mean God has changed? No. I don't even start to pretend to know everything about God and have learned to live with the questions. I'll understand someday. In the meantime, join us in praying for the impossible. Just start anywhere - him to start talking in sentences, his feet to become normal, his back to be pain free, his muscles to loosen or his ability to walk without assistance. Thanks.
