Last
week we did hospital ministry… I hate hospitals in America so you can
only imagine how I felt in a hospital in Kenya. I will spare you the
details but in short it was horrifying. Yet I knew that the Lord was
using us and that our prayers were not going unheard. I prayed for a lot
of people and somewhere in there prayed for a young boy, no older than
2, that was very sick. I wasnt positive as to what he was sick with
because his mothers english was not the best but I just prayed healing
upon him in Jesus Christ’s name and then left. To be honest I didnt
think much about him in particular. Sure I thought about hospital
ministry but not about him in particular. Anyways days pasted and I
simply moved on. Today we did door to door evangelism. Again if were
being honest, today was a little rough. We
met some interesting people and even led some to Christ but I was just
warn out and not sure that I was being very effective at all. When we
got home all i wanted to do was eat and chill out.
Our
current home is located right across from the church. So one of the
church members came and got me and told me a woman wanted to talk to me.
All I wanted to do was eat the avocado in front of me but I got up and
ran over to the church.
I
saw a mother with her young child and vaguely remembered them from the
hospital. I was glad the child was out of the hospital and I though
praise God that hes not still sitting in the hospital. Through the help of a translator, this mother told me her sweet boy ,Vision, had been paralysed the day I had prayed for him. Then his mother
proceeded to tell me that 10 min after I prayed for her sweet baby he
began to kick his legs….. I was in shock…. This woman just told me that her son had been paralysed and was now moving! The Lord had used me in that moment to HEAL A CHILD.
I
never thought I would be about to say that God used me in such an incredible way AND that HE would give me the opportunity to see the
fruits of my labor.
I know that God is good but today I was remembered of just how good He is and just how eager He is to use us! Praise God and the work He is doing!
