MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

THEY THOUGHT SHE WOULD DIE BUT…
Last week I ask, “Does praying make any difference?” I noted that secularists conclude you’re only talking to yourself when you pray but they only live in one dimension, the physical world. People of faith live in two worlds: the natural and the supernatural. Here’s another example of how prayer reaches across that divide and changes things.
Mark Cooper called me this week. I have known him since he was a young teenager. Mark wanted to bring me up to date on what had happened to his wife Valorie. She had trouble sleeping and occasionally got up in the middle of the night. On this particular night at around 4:00 a.m., Valorie slipped and her head crashed on the rock-hard kitchen floor. Mark heard her scream and jumped out of bed to help her.
Valorie seemed to be okay, but as they talked, she began to feel pain in her head and began feeling woozy. Something was wrong, Mark called 911. He reasoned she needed a CAT-Scan to make sure nothing serious happened. The ambulance arrived with his instructions to take her to a near-by hospital for the test. After they picked Valorie up and left, the ambulance called Mark. Her condition was far more complicated than he realized. They were taking her directly to a hospital better equipped to deal with brain damage.
Valorie’s condition was serious.
Mark hurried around to get to the hospital. A doctor called. Valorie was in trouble. She had severe damage with bleeding in her brain. To stop the hemorrhage, immediate surgery was needed. A big piece of her skull would be removed to accommodate swelling. She would be on a breathing machine as they weren’t sure she could breathe on her own after the operation. The situation was touch and go. No one could assure Mark what would happen. Mark panicked.
After the surgery, Mark sat by her bed. Heavily bandaged, her skull remained open but heavily bandaged. He felt she didn’t know him or anything else. The first day was awful.
The second day didn’t show improvement. Mark began calling everybody he knew to pray. Church people were alerted and family members notified. People they didn’t even know began praying for Valorie. Prayer was constant and universal. Mark prayer over and over. The next day would be critical.
On the third day, Mark returned to the hospital with trepidation. He opened the hospital door. To his shock, Valorie was sitting up in bed eating breakfast. The doctors were shocked. How could she be doing so well? They could only shrug their shoulders and say, “The Man upstairs had other plans for her. It’s a miracle.”
Expecting release to take weeks, Valorie went home in one week. Her brain did not swell. Her balance remains good and today she is fine.
Does prayer make a difference? Ask Mark and Valorie. They’ll tell you that the Holy Spirit is there if you will only ask Him to come.
Remember. Miracles never cease.
