There is a boy with bone cancer named Christian. How do I know Christian? One of the prayer leaders on my hall is a student teacher in his class. He is four-years-old. Christian was born with this bone cancer, the doctors were not giving him much more time to live his life, fortunately the doctors do not have the final say.
One lesson that God has really been teaching me lately is that He answers HUGE prayers. Recently, I have been convicted that I was not lifting theseprayers up to Him, and that, on the occasion that I did, I was doing so in unbelief. For weeks, my prayer leader and I have been praying for Christian during our accountability lunch, but this past week was vastly different. On Sunday, I heard a sermon on faith and the passage in Mark 6 caught my attention. Healing people was just ordinary for Jesus, imagine what He could have done had the people actually had faith. The next day, Annemarie and I had accountability and I was given such an urgent feeling to prayer for Christian. Two nights later Annemarie came into my room to tell me that she had just found out that there was not a single trace of cancer in his body.
Praise God!

Recording the Great acts of a Great God

Purpose
Recently, I was directed to Mark 6: 1-6. Verse 6 especially caught my attention, "and He could do no mighty work there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief." Healing those sick people is the minimum of what He could do for them. Imagine the great things that Jesus Christ could have done. Often times, I find myself not turning over big problems to my big God. It is my prayer that God will grow my faith in Him this year through working in both big and small ways in my life and in the lives of those around me. In Joshua 4:4-7 God tells the Israelites to collect stones as they cross the Jordan so that they would be able to tell their children the great things that God had done for them. This blog is my collection of 21-century virtual stones.
