Amazed By You

Lord I am amazed by you. How you operate is amazing. How you love us is amazing. Words cannot express. It is amazing.

One of our pastors called me yesterday after a wedding he did in Pampa, Texas. Pampa is in the panhandle region of Texas if you weren't quite sure. There was a couple at the wedding that used to attend our church before they moved out to Pampa.

Apparently I gave them a prophetic word when they first got married about their first child. This was several years ago. Before the child had been born or even conceived.

They got pregnant and found out that there were complications with the baby. The doctor said that some spots on the brain had developed and that these spots would cause the child to be severely retarded and physically disabled. The doctor said that it would be best if they aborted the baby before it was to late.

The couple went home to pray about it for several weeks and while they did they went back to the tape of the prophetic word the Lord had given them that I delivered. The word was that this child would be a John the Baptist, one who advances God's kingdom, one who would walk in God's favor. There was more to the word but that was the gist. They listed to the word everyday and stood on the promise that God had given them.

Weeks later they went back to the doctor and took more sonograms. The problem had worsened. Big time. It had spread all over the baby's body. The doctor again strongly directed the parents to abort the child because if they did not it would surely mean a life of pain and struggle for the child and an even greater inconvenience to the parents taking care of the child.

The parents stood strong. They stood on the promise that God had given them. They were unwavering.

Several months later the baby was born. Surprise. No problems. Not one. Not one spot, not one issue, not one hair out of place.

They relayed to this pastor this story and asked that he thank me for them for giving them that word to hold on to.

When you hear a story like that you can't help but be excited, be grateful. I am grateful that God spoke his promise to them. That years before they needed it He gave them a promise to stand on in times of great trial. I am grateful he used me to do it.

Actually, I'm amazed.
