Zachary & Sister, Katelyn
I wanted to share this with you all. It has been really amazing! Our church has a missions work in Africa. We have entered into the Rift Valley where the Masai are located. They have done child sacrifices for many generations. Since the Lord opened the door for our Pastor to go in, they have come to Christ by the HUNDREDS! On his last trip in just 2 weeks ago the Witch Drs killed someone in protest to the people turning to Christ and are trying to scare our Pastor. He said he must return even if it costs him his life.
Sunday night, my DH, Jasper, felt led to have all the children in our church anointed and prayed for. He said that he felt that the witch Drs were going to be trying to come against our children in retaliation. A spiritual warfare. So we lined them up and prayed. Each child anointed.
Yesterday, one of the Mothers called me to say that she was very thankful DH had obeyed God because her 4 year old son had accidentally swallowed a decorative gem stone, the flat kind you put in tanks or flower pots etc... It became lodged in his throat and cut his airway completely off. She said he had a terrified look in his eyes and was grabbing his chest. Somehow he managed to do a hard swallow and it went down. She believed that the prayer the night before is what saved his life. I did too!
Then today she calls me again and says you will not believe this.... We were in Walmart doing some shopping and all of a sudden Zachary turns color, has tears running and has grabbed his throat, his air way totally blocked....AGAIN! The stone had never went completely down as once thought and somehow became lodged again. So she grabbed him up, takes him in the bathroom trying to get it up and again he manages to swallow it down.
This is when it gets amazing.....
A man walks up as they come out of the bathroom asking did something just happen to him. she says yes, and hje proceeds to pull fruit from his cart and says here let him eat this so that it will push that down.....Uh, she never told him what happened.....he seemed to know and began telling them what to do if it came up again. Okay, so they go to leave. This guy had a cart FULL of food, but when they saw him in just a few minutes going out the door he had NOTHING with him.
I said to her, sounds like "Angels unaware" to me. She agreed! She got to crying and praising God...it was something!
At the Drs, they did an xray, and the rock is now in his stomach. The Nurse said Mrs Powers, your son got a miracle today! She said it several times, and so Sarah began to share the Africa situation and the fact DH felt led to pray. The nurse began to cry and said I am so glad I can be a part of seeing this miracle.
Then the nurse says...Powers, Powers....Hey, we just bought a car from your Pastor for our son!
I thought that was just amazing how God brought all that together.
We need to always be obedient to the spirit of God. I shutter to think what would have been the out come had my DH not yielded to the moving of God. It has been a real eye opener! One preacher we knew many years ago said the first voice you hear telling you to do something is God, the one trying to talk you out of it is Satan. He said always listen to the first voice.
I want to be obedient to the spirit of God, now more than ever!
God bless, hope you enjoyed hearing what God did for little Zachary!
