The Real Miracle

They say God does not do the miraculous anymore, that He is too busy to intervene in the life of people. It’s been seven weeks since my wife during prayer on Sunday morning collapsed. Right there in front of my eyes. We have just bought a new church facility and were renovating it and I was so confident that God was with us but there she was laying on the floor clinging to her life.

The doctors asked did she have a will and to call for the clergy. But how does the clergy (me) call for the clergy? My world was turning upside down. People told me to pray and believe God, the problem was that I could not even pray as my mind race to the real possibilty that my wife would not last the night. I could hear the devil whisper, “where is your God now.” I thought, “yeah, where is God.”

While I was fearful the people at CrossPoint Church began to call on the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All those years that Mary and I were praying for them and their families they were now praying for us. They decided to pray all night for 7 days constantly lifting us both up in prayer. They called other churches and soon people from around the world were praying for my wife’s healing.

The doctors who had given up now stand in amazement that they were witnessing a miracle. One doctor told us that the only reason Mary was still alive was that God still has something great for her to do. Praise God. My daughter Nichole kept telling the doctors that the power of prayer would heal and restore her mother. The doubt gave away to amazement as Mary slowly came back from the dead to be a living breathing testimony to the Glory of God.

We still have a ways to go before she is back to normal living but I am sure that our living will never be normal again. I have learned some great lessons in life during these times. One, CrossPoint Church has some of the most loving, caring, prayer war-faring intercessors that you will even encounter on this side of heaven. If you are in need of a miracle prayer these are the people and this is the church you want to be a part of.

Second, I have learned that my wife Mary is the most amazing person in the world. She gets more beautiful everyday and I will love her more than I ever have. My children, Steve, Nichole, and Isaiah are the greatest treasures that any man could hope for. I am grateful to the Holy Spirit that has allow me to experience so much love and see the miracle of life.

God get all of the Glory and Praise. Now just a little while and my wife will once again grace our sanctuary taking worship to a higher level. I can’t wait for that day.

Thanks to all of the churches, people, families and organizations that have offer so much to our family during these times. We could not have do this without you and to CrossPoint Church, the absolutely greatest church on the planet.
