Dear Friends:

We all live our lives believing we have another day to live but some will have a day when they are told the end is near. Berinda Wallace emailed me this story…

“It was last June 3, 2006 that my mother came to Skyway with me in total faith that she would be healed. Less than a week earlier, her internal medicine doctor that she sees in Scottsdale had told her that she would “die” soon, if she did not follow his treatment recommendation. In fact, I took her to the doctor that day and was waiting for her in the lobby, when his nurse summoned me to the exam room. He told me that he wanted me to hear his prognosis (following a diagnostic test that supposedly revealed despair) so that my family would not complain that he had not told us how bad her health was. This doctor has been treating her for 7 years or more. This doctor proceeded to tell her that she would die before June 30th. She told her not to fly and to remain here until she completed the treatment regiment that she was recommending. My mother remained faithful and refused to accept either doctor’s report. My mother told her that she trusted God and that if she was to die she would just do so at her home in Arkansas. The doctor proceeded to give her a CD of the diagnostic test and suggested that she see her cardiologist as soon as she returned home to Arkansas and to give him the CD.(In between doctor visits she came to AZ and received prayer.) When she did see the cardiologist, he was baffled. Nothing could be found! So, last week she returned to see the internal medicine doctor in Scottsdale (almost a year later) and he was so stunned that he gave her a complete exam and checked every system in her body. He did not find anything to complain about. Pastor Loraine is the one who stood with my mother during altar call and prayed for her June 2006. I remembered her being so moved by the prayer spiritually that I wanted my mother to share her testimony with her. Pastor Loraine said that she has prayed for many, many people and that she does not recall most of the prayers. However, the prayer she prayed with my mother she remembered vividly. She said that she had not experienced such before. She said she knew God was using her in a special way for something very special. To God be all the glory!”

We never know what the doctor or some other expert might have to say, but we can believe that the Lord has the final report on how our lives will turn out. I hope this documented miracle healing is an encouragement to us all to bring all our needs to God in prayer.

PS… I will be in Virginia this week speaking at a Billy Graham Association conference June 4-6. Please keep me in your prayers. I will be back to preach again next Sunday.
