God Heals!

Greetings, Dear Friends!
I can't wait to share with you today. My normal posting day is Wednesday but I was way under the weather yesterday. Even so, what I have to share with you today is way better than anything I could have posted yesterday.
As many of you know, my son Jordan injured his back some time ago. He is an active athlete and yet for six months he hasn't been able to lift his foot more than a foot off the ground. He had a terrible disc herniation which was pressing on three sets of nerves.
Jordan's girlfriend's mom (Carrie) was praying for Jordan one morning and sensed so strongly that Jordan would not only be healed, he would come back stronger, faster, and better than ever.
Carrie shared with me this amazing story:
Weeks ago, her husband Rich was taking care of some landscaping at a job site when a man limped up to him and said, "My name is Bob and I got my miracle today. God has completely healed me." Rich kindly extended his hand to Bob and said, "I believe you, Bob."
Week after week Bob greeted Rich with the same greeting and yet week after week, Bob's limp got worse. One day Bob rode up on a scooter because he could no longer walk, and yet with the same sure confidence and sweet countenance he smiled at Rich and said, "I got my miracle today. God has completely healed me." And to that Rich shook his hand and said, "I believe you, Bob."
The following week Bob was off the scooter and just limping. The week after that he was walking a little better. Each week, claiming his miracle. Then finally several weeks ago Bob came running to Rich, "Rich! I got my miracle today! God healed me!"
Rich enthusiastically replied, "I believe you, Bob! You're running!" Bob smiled huge and said, "And now, I'm going bowling!"
Carrie relayed this story and said, "Bob's injury was similar to Jordan's. How about if we just thank God by faith every day for Jordan's miracle?"
Jordan was on board. Every morning before he went out the door, he prayed, "I thank you God for being faithful to me and I thank you for my miracle."
Last night at youth group a young man gave a testimony from a recent mission trip. Prior to the trip he didn't believe that God still healed people today. But on the trip he prayed for someone and they were healed!
As Jordan listened to this story he felt an inner urge to get prayer from this young guy. At the end of the service he pressed through the crowds, found the guy, and asked him for prayer. As Jordan was being prayed for, his back heated up.
When the prayer was over he went outside and "tested it out." He moved this way and that. No pain. He took off jogging and then went into a full run! No pain!
He ran back into the sanctuary crying and told people he was healed.
Last night he burst into our bedroom and said, "Mom! Dad! Look!" And with that, he kicked his leg high and then forcefully bent to the floor to touch his toes.
I put my hand over my mouth and started to cry.
Jordan's lips quivered and his eyes filled with tears as he relayed this powerful story.
Just yesterday I was reading this Scripture, "You are the God who performs MIRACLES. You display your power among the people."
Beth Moore's husband once said, "I would rather be healed than well."
Amen and amen!
Thanks for letting me share this story.
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
