God Sighting | September 28, 2008

A few weeks ago, September 13th, people from our church organized a free oil change and car wash for single mothers. One of the first few ladies who brought in their car was grandmother named Rosalee. While her car was being serviced, I spent some time with her in our church's cafe. A few minutes later, another woman I knew, Mellie—who was deaf—sat down near us, and I invited her to join the conversation. But despite my rusty sign language, we all had a great conversation, and I translated as best I could. Toward the end of our conversation, Mellie indicated that she felt led by God to pray for Rosalee. Standing in front of Rosalee, Mellie indicated that she was going to pray for Rosalee's heart, and because nowhere in the conversation did we ever talk about physical hearts, Rosalee remarked, "God really told her to pray for me, because on Monday I'm having heart surgery!" So placing her hand on Rosalee'shead, Mellie began to pray. Apparently word got out to people servicing the cars, and everyone began praying especially for Rosalee as well!

Fast forward to Thursday, September 25th. Ryan Kwon, one of the pastors at my church, received a letter from Rosalee detailing the results from her heart surgery. It was a surgery to place stints in her clogging arteries so that she could survive a second surgery to remove a tumor. And because it was so risky, there was only one docter in Modesto, California, who was willing to operate on her. during his initial operation on Rosalee, the docter made a startling discovery: he couldn't find any clogged arteries at all! Rosalee's arteries were perfectly clean!

Our God is such an active God who supernaturally heals people to this very day! Thank you, Father, for showing yourself to be so true in a time of this country's doubt in your very real power to heal!
