Praises

i think i just got back from the prayer meeting of the century.

this girl in our group named erin has a severe hip injury which she has had over the last four years. it was predicted that erin would be in a wheelchair by the time she turns 20. she is 18.5.

prompted by the Spirit, the seven of us laid hands on erin. we spent the next block of time praying that God would heal erin's hip. i have never felt the Spirit lead in such a way. it was amazing.

in praying for erin's healing, so much was realized about one's lack of faith in prayer (i include myself as the greatest of these). but being together with six others who share the same of Christ's blood, i felt hope and joy, and most importantly, faith behind every request that was made tonight. We are commissioned as Christ's ambassadors to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. this authority is possessed by all who authentically know Christ.

"Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will resotre the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up" James 5:13-15

join me in a mighty act of prayer, in faith, for God to heal erin. To Him be the glory alone.
