Spiritual Sundays ~ Peter's Shadow


My friend was excited about attending a healing service in one of those mega auditoriums with a famous TV evangelist. I admire those special servants of God who are willing to pray for the sick to be healed. When faith arises in those huge gatherings of believers, God can do the impossible. It is exciting; I’m glad she got to go!

In Acts 5:15 it says: As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

It is God who is the healer and He works through His vessels that have the faith to believe and take Him at His Word.

I have a prayer need, but I don’t think I necessarily have to ask a big name to intercede. Everybody in the body of Christ is a big name because we belong to the head which is Jesus. I recognize that there are some who God uses regularly to pray for the sick. I have seen many healings because of the faith of the Christian bloggers over the months. I love hearing testimonies of what God has done! The faith and love in the Body of Christ never ceases to amaze me.

When I was in California a few weeks ago, I attended Susanna’s pediatrician appointment and we pointed out a bump above her left eye that we noticed back in November. The doctor called it a cyst and did not seem overly concerned about it. She measured it and documented it but since it is not bothering Susanna, she told us to wait. My daughter remarked: “Mom, let’s cover this with some heavy-duty prayer; that cyst doesn’t need to be there.” So I ask for your prayers for my granddaughter, Susanna, today.


Here is a close up photo and you can view the bump over her left eye.

Thank you, my friends, for praying for us.

  14. Lifting this little sweetie in prayer today for sure. Just thought I would mention that one of my sons has had many such harmless cysts removed very easily (from various different places)....others he has just left as they were causing no problem. I will definitely pray for wisdom for your doc. and peace of mind for both you and your daughter. Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Debbie

  21. My daughter and I just prayed over her. We commanded that cyst to dry up in the Name of Jesus and we prayed that nothing would hinder this beautiful child from growing up to be a might woman of God!

  24. You and yours come to mind often, Mary. Knowing how rugged your journey has been in recent months, I'm sorry to hear another concern has come to call.

    There must be something absolutely amazing the Lord has in mind for this little one. Surrounded by a praying Mom & GrandMom, and now a large cross section of cyberspace, He is up to something good. He always is.

    Thank you for sharing the darling photo, as well as your heart.

    Hugs,
    Kathleen

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi

Humor for the Bride and Groom

A young couple decided to wed.  As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive.  Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The Groom-to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice.   "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage."  His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?"   "Oh yes, very much," he said," but you see, I have very smelly feet, and I'm afraid that my fiancĂ© will be put off by them."  "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and always wear socks, even to bed."   Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom."  Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning my breath is truly awful."  "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street?”   I replied that I’ve order coffee once in that place with a turke
