God Does
Provide
by
Barbara Philbrook
God knows
what we need and He does provide,
I didn't realize to what extent until the Doctor had to
check my heart and he took a look inside.
I must
give you some background before I go on with this story,
I must make sure God gets all of the Honor and Glory.
We were
attending the week of prayer,
and it seemed that night after night the same people were
there.
One night
around the middle of the week,
as I was praying for the guidance of my Lord which I
did seek.
Hal came
over as he was led by the Holy Spirit,
he started to pray for me and I was so thrilled to hear
it.
You see
I'd asked God to confirm something that had occurred to
me that day,
and that confirmation came as I heard Hal pray.
Then
quietly I heard him say to me,
go up front and receive prayer as God the Father intends
it to be.
Hope
prayed over and over as she held her hand over my heart,
and others there at the alter joined in and took part.
After the
prayer service came to an end and conversations did
start,
Hope told me God instructed her strongly to pray for my
heart.
That night
as I knelt to pray I told God I wasn't aware there was
anything wrong with my heart,
but knowing of His superior knowledge I thanked him for
fixing any damaged part.
Now God
does not need human assistance to perform any repairs we
need you see,
therefore His using Hope meant there was something He
wanted to show me.
Just last
week I was taken to the Hospital where I had to stay,
something was wrong with my heart is what the Doctors had
to say.
Test after
test just seemed to confirm what they originally thought,
they followed procedure and did as they had been taught.
Finally a
catherization was scheduled so they could go inside and
see,
then they would be able to tell me what was wrong with
me.
During the
test the Doctor said that the right side of my heart did
not function as it should,
but the other side is compensating and that is good.
They
pointed out to me how a vein had grown over from
the other side of my heart,
to bring life to this the nonworking part.
Does this
happen to everyone whose heart ceases to function
properly?
No they answered this is not something we often see.
I
then told them how God told Hope that she must pray
over my heart for me,
and inquired could this be called a miracle this thing
that we see?
Yes it can
is what my Doctor said,
and the knowledge and joy of God's blessing filled
my head.
God
performed a miracle I proclaimed as they wheeled me back
to my room where my family waited, God loves and
provides just as our Holy Bible has stated.
Why do you
think God wanted us to be aware of what He did to my
heart,
was it to show us He still does provide just as He has
from the very start?
I didn't
know there was a problem I wasn't even aware,
but God was and He does care!
