I would have emailed you sooner with the praise report of being healed, but I had to get back to work!! Let me first say that this was way way worse than the last time I was sick. I couldn't even keep one sip of water down. That's a scary feeling when you're in the middle of Sudan. Within a couple hours in the middle of the night I was completely drained of everything that was inside of me...food and water. It was about 5:00 am when I came back inside from one of my vomiting marathons out front; and I sat down and thought to myself "man does not live on bread alone." But I didn't have the energy to get up and get my Bible, so I just started to say any scripture that I could remember. Fortunately I had just decided to start memorizing scripture the day before. Oddly enough, the scripture I started with was James 1:2-3. So I quoted that over and over again along with any other scipture I could recall, like by your stripes I am healed. As I began to do this and pray with everything I had, which wasn't much at this point, I began to be able to keep water down...one sip at a time. The day consisted mostly of me resting and drinking and praying and reading or quoting scipture. Fred and William went to Bor and got back late afternoon. When they got back we all prayed, and it was great. I immediately felt better!! I crashed pretty early despite the fact that I had spent alot of the day sleeping on and off and this morning I woke up, and other than the fact that I am a little weak, I feel as though I was never sick! Supernatural!! God is good!! I'm back to work today and it's only by the grace of God!
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! How GREAT is our GOD!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, brothers ~ Just wanted to let you know that even though there are people who do not show as followers of this blog, TONS of people are asking about you and praying for you constantly. I must also say that your prayers for everyone back home have been felt as well.
You are strong, wise, courageous, loving and beautiful through Christ Jesus... We will continue to stand in the gap until we meet again; BRING IT ON!!!
Hebrews 11:8-10 ~ "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, WHOSE BUILDER AND MAKER IS GOD."
