Day Seventeen

Friday: January 16, 2009

Friday’s entry will be rather sparse only because it seems like the day came and went with nothing out of the ordinary happening in the natural realm. Andy spent much of the day in bed resting up from the busy day he had on Thursday with his Grandparents.

Frankly, I seem to be a little more tired than usual and that has had an adverse effect on my praying & praising. But I trust the Holy Spirit to call upon other faithful prayer warriors to help us bridge the gap for Andy’s healing when needed... Are you one of the faithful? Please say yes.

Brother Wiley, from Family Worship Center stopped by late Thursday afternoon to pray & he also dropped off a couple of CD’s and a few books for Andy (and me) to read. One of the CD’s is the “Healing Scriptures” narrated by Kenneth Hagin Sr., which for me is a special blessing getting to hear Bro. Hagin’s voice again.

You see, I had gotten saved when I was eighteen years old and I used to love listening to Kenneth Hagin’s radio program, “Faith Seminar of the Air.” Every day, while hard at work driving my dump truck on Hwy 60, I looked forward with great anticipation to tuning my AM radio to hear Bro. Hagin’s program.

Also included in the healing gift package, was a book called “Understanding the Healing Power of God” written by Doug Jones. Doug graduated from Rhema in 1975 and has been a full-time minister for over 30 years, including 9 years as the Director of the School of Healing at Rhema.

So in another words, the information that Doug talks about in his book, is based on the Word of God, but also on Holy Ghost revelation knowledge. Plus, Doug's writings include many direct experiences in praying for many hundreds of people as well. As I read each chapter, I am beginning to see a new dimension of God’s goodness and faithfulness to us, His people.

James 5:16 says, “Confess your faults one to another, AND PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. KJV – capitalization added to emphasize our need for your prayers on Andy's behalf.
