That's quite amazing! The boy was under icy water for 15 minutes, died, and came back to life when his mother prayed for him! What a testimony, huh? Thanks for posting, Gr8tful. These kinds of miracles are rare nowadays, so that is quite awesome.

What a wonderful testimony. The Lord is showing that His Miracles do not cease, very good interview with the Doctors it definitely baffled them. Great video Gr8tful thanks for posting this. Yeap. A real testimony to the healing powers of Jesus Christ who is God and the Son of God and the one we worship and pray to when we need a miraculous healing beyong the medical profession. I have had a medically proven healing and you would think that something these doctors could not explain or dismiss would bring them to their knees and Seek God? I am sure they are all glad the boy was brought back for his mother and will wonder over this again and again. I hope and pray it will truly be something that brings them towards salvation in Christ. My Specialist and the other medical practioners chose to say I got spontaneous remission. Which is how they often dismiss miraculous healing they cannot understand how it occurred medically or find some answer in science. Lord I pray for the salvation of all medical staff and practioners and those who witness your miraculous answers to our prayers for life and healing. Lord open their blind eyes to see your Truth to see you are REAL and to be drawn to your gospel of salvation. Lord heal them of their spiritual blindness and help them to see their sin and need to come to you in repentance. Lord have mercy on them and help them to be delivered from their pride, arrogance and human science that denies your existence or at least denies Jesus Christ. Deliver them from the deceit and lies of the devil spread through humanistic teachings and beliefs, amen. Lord we are grateful for our doctors and nurses and other medical practioners who do bring healing and do care for us. Bless them in their work as they treat the sick and those who require their services, amen. |

Yes Leeza
God has allowed much of my sickness for His Purposes and I know much of it is spiritual attack and some is just being sick because the Sin that entered the world in the Garden of Eden. God can heal us and deliver us from both.
I am sure that many of my sicknesses will soon be fully healed not just partially or allowed to continue but within God's limitations.
Here is a great verse all of God's children should know.
PS 41:3 The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness.
God sustains us even in our sickness and He will raise us up and restore us from these ailments, disabilities and conditions. I am not accepting that I have to live with them and wait until I get to heaven to get better. I can get healed now on earth. All in God's time and according to His will but if I do as many Sydney Anglicans do and that is to accpet they will suffer ill until they die then I am giving Satan ground to keep me ill.
I am not Word of Faith. I cannot TELL or COMMAND or DEMAND my healing from God. What they preach goes beyond the Bible. We are to have faith and trust when we pray God will answer according to His promise to heal us. However the Word of Faith camp have NO RESPECT for God or his Sovereign Will so they tell you that you can repeat your prayers endlessly until you get what you want. That means you are not looking to God to heal you but trying to get your healing through your own efforts. It is a fine LINE.
God has taught me much about prayer and getting answers from God. I understand that not everything we desire that is good may come to pass. Often we cannot understand why and certainly with hindsight it finally makes sense. Do Trust God when you do not see healing. Keep asking Him for it. Do not doubt the goodness of God and that when someone is healed then that is God's perfect timing for them and their circumstances or life.
We cannot see everything God sees or know everything God knows. His decisions are made on having knowledge of everything that is going on now and going to happen in the future. Far beyong our own comprehension. So when God makes a decision it is not based on the little we see on this earth.
I have lost many a good friend through ill health despite my many prayers and faith for healing. I have also seen some people I've prayed once for recover and be fully healed. It has nothing to do with me but everything to do with God's Sovereign will.
AC 3:11 While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade. 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? "
Peter here states we do not have power of our own to heal. God is the one who weilds that power and it is his to do so as He sees fit and not just as a response to our prayers as if we are commanding God to do so. Not something the Word of Faith people teach on because they avoid every scripture that contradicts their heresies.

You know every need and You know what's a priority in our lives at the moment. May every medical person involved see the Mighty works of Your Hand and come to a saving knowledge of You. In Jesus most precious name Amen.

I just know I'm going to sound like the Devil's advocate here. Please don't take this in a way I don't intend. What about those of us who pray for those little ones that don't survive? They are definitely with the Lord, but not all prayers are answered as we think they may be. |

I know what you mean, Shiloh. Why are some healed and some are not? Why does the Lord take one home and others are left with their affliction? The only answer I can offer is in Isaiah 55:8 that says, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord."
So since the Lord knows the beginning and the end of our lives, He knows the future of the person, and since He is omniscient, He does what He knows what He is doing and why. Joni Erickson Tada comes to mind. He could have easily healed her. But He chose not to, and look at her now! She has such a beautiful spirit that shines through and such an inspiration to those who are going through hard times in similar situations. One day soon she will walk, dance, leap, and run throughout eternity. But now she is in this earthly shell and the Lord is using her to give a testimony of His grace.
I heard Charles Stanley once say that God is not so much interested in our ease, comfort, and pleasure as He is in building character in us. There are some things that are temporal, such as our earthly jars of clay, but who we are on the inside is eternal. That is what matters.

We unfortunately are taught by some teachers of God's Word that seeing God say YES to every prayer means we are successful in our prayers. This Error or Heresy by Charimatics who are False teachers has been preached so much and especially through TV and the Internet that it has contaminated many Good Shepherds who teachers on prayer for healing.
We do not see a healing every time we pray because it is not the BEST answer for everybody. Being healed and remaining in this World is not always GOOD. For some it is GOOD and for others it would be BAD. For what reasons I do not know and you do not know but our God who knows everything makes his decisions on how to answer our prayers for healing on more than we can see or even understand. So some people are taken from us and they are now with Jesus. A far better place to be in my opinion. So we grieve their loss to us. It was for the BEST interest the Lord had decided not to heal them. Wether it was a innocent little baby or a old rascal who was just Saved. Who knows why but God knows and we trust God with it because his character is such that we know God is fully Trustworthy and True and Good and Loving etc.
This is the samething with not being healed and continuing to suffer in this world. If it is God allowing it to stay on you then it is for a purpose. Sin is so insidious that God has to at times use such measures to break Sin off us. A little suffering in this world cannot compare to what we escape which is Eternal Torment Forever.
MK 9:42 "And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck. 43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where
" `their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.'"
Better to go into heaven sick then to go to hell forever with a Sound and healthy body.
I keep praying for my healing. When God thinks it is time I will be healed.
God is good and desires to do us good. With evil in this world and a devil playing tug of war over us there is suffering required and used by God to deliver us from sin & death and ensure we not only get Saved but also to make us Holy as He is Holy.
Nothing sinful can dwell in God's Eternal kingdom. God is cleaning us up, purifying us and making us Holy. You have to put gold through a HIGH heat to get rid of the Dross and for Sin God uses Suffering to separate it out of His Children's lives.
1PE 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Praise God He is getting us ready for our Eternal Home which is to be with Him in His Holy Kingdom. We are being made ready and changed from worldly sinners to Holy children of the Lord and heirs to God's kingdom.
Looking forward to getting rid of my sinful flesh and getting that new pure body that we will have for our eternity before Jesus and the Lord God Himself in Heaven. Whooo Hooo!
