Have Faith!!!

6 months ago my mother (who lives in Florida) was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.  She began treatment.  Hospice started coming 3 times a week.  Several times she was admitted to the hospital.  Many times she had to be given intrevenous fluids at the doctor's office because she was dehydrated.  She was going downhill fast.  The doctor's prognosis was that she had a year or less.  She stopped eating.  She couldn't even drink water. She became so weak, she was no longer getting out of bed.

My brother (who is now living with her), called me & said, this is it, you better get down here if you want to see her again.  I flew down the next day.  I layed hands on her, prayed over her, read scripture & anointed her with oil, just as the bible says to do. 

From that point on, she started getting better & better.  Slowly, she began to eat & drink.  She began to gain her strength. 

I returned from Florida only a month ago.  Last night she called me in tears.  Hospice has reviewed all the various doctor's reports & new test results on her.  Now they say that their first diagnosis was incorrect.  The cancer must not have been as big as they thought.  Now they say that it appears she is cancer free & the new diagnosis is that she will live a long time. 

I say, their first diagnosis was correct.  Why can't they ever admit to seeing miracles?

We prayed for her to receive a miracle & God said yes---plain and simple.

Halleluiah!  God is sooo good & full of mercy!  He still heals and does incredible miracles!

This miracle is just one of MANY that we have seen recently at BHCC!  These miracles are a testimony to the power & presence of God at BHCC!

2 Corinthians 12 
The things that mark an apostle--signs, wonders and miracles--were done among you with great perseverance.

Hebrews 2:3-4
This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Acts 2:42-43
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.

Friends, followers of Christ have all been given this power to do wonders & miracles in Jesus' name! Remember, Jesus said........

John 14:12-14
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Have faith in Jesus, and see the miracles abound!

To Him be the glory forever and EVER!

Because He Lives,
