Miracles - Not a question but an expectation!

Don't just ask for miracles, expect miracles!

A week ago Maggie was complaining of pain in her upper neck, near her jaw.  I thought nothing of it, then.  I thought, maybe she slept on it wrong or moved in a position that pulled a muscle.  So I just told her that it would pass.  (Bad dad)

Last night I returned from a 3 day fasting and prayer time outside of Medellin.  God, not only gave me a renewed focus, He encouraged me to ask expectingly and not just ask and wait.  God wants the best for us and He gives generously.  So, when I returned, Maggie was still complaining of pain but she now had a lump in her neck.  Tona had been looking for a doctor that she could take Maggie to.  Remembering what God said, I called Maggie for family prayer.  I prayed for her and then we all prayed for her and the day.  She woke up this morning still complaining of pain.  I called her over.  I told Maggie that God calls us to pray without ceasing, that means if He hasn't answered us, we keep praying until He does.  Tona and I laid hands on her and prayed again.  When I asked Maggie how she felt, she said, "I don't feel anything."  So I asked her if she could still feel the lump.  She said, "No, it's gone!"

That was a perfect time for a big hug and great time for God to show Himself to Maggie.

Thank you, Lord, for being awesome!
