Have you ever seen a scripture come to life before your eyes? We have:

Luke 7 The Faith of the Centurion

² There was a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. ³ The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. ⁴ When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, ⁵ because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” ⁶ So Jesus went with them.

He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. ⁷ That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁸ For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
⁹ When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” ¹⁰ Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

Our prayers, God's healing. Is God different today than yesterday? God chose to heal in so many different ways in the bible. The touch, with dirt, by his disciples, from afar. And the list goes on and on. But does he answer prayer? Does he heal from a distance today. The answer is yes. Case in point:

We were praying for a little one that had mental torture. She would cast herself down and say leave me alone when no one was touching her. She had fits of anger and she was only  2. We started praying for this little one. So many said she needed to have a laying on of hands. She needed baptism. She needed demon possession intervention.

Well, we prayed. We joined in prayer for weeks and months and then one week, many had the impression that she was released of this struggle. These were people that didn't know her. They had just been praying for her. She was in foster care and had been moved from home to home all her life.

Well,  sure enough, she had been healed. Her new foster mother didn't know what the social worker was talking about. This was a perfect child. No fits of anger. No tortured soul and a once shallow shell of a child was thriving and gaining weight.

A coincidence?  A healing? You decide. And yes she was baptized and continues to thrive yet today. Thank you Lord for letting us be a part of a bible story in the making.

Lord bless this little child and all those we pray for that are still today tortured souls. Crying out in their darkness for your healing touch. AMEN
