I have a Facebook friend who I was pretty close to several years ago, but I haven't seen him since then. He was a disciple, zealous for the Lord. But I don't see any hint of that great faith in his posts or in his page. Out of love and concern for him, I wrote this to him to remind him of how God used him in a powerful way in my life: There have been two times in my life when God has miraculously, instantaneously, no-natural-way-to-explain-it healed me. One was about 20 yrs ago when I had TMJ (it was painful to try to close my jaw, and I was living on soft food for days). I went to the dentist, and he told me I needed surgery. He said to go out to the foyer and make an appointment. I went out and stood in line. But then God spoke to me and told me to leave--he would heal me! I got happy and started to go home, but I felt I ought to go to the church building. I did, and you were the only one there. I told you what happened. You prayed for me, and one side of my mouth closed for the first time in many days! You prayed again, and the other side closed, and I have been healed with no problems ever since! Thank you!
I wrote this four days ago. In the past four days, the symptoms that had been gone for 20 years have slowly returned! My jaw is as bad now as when I went to the dentist. Because this is certainly a spiritual issue, I'm not going to the dentist...especially since I ain't got dental insurance! I'm trusting God to heal me again.
To those who pray, would you pray for me? And please pray for my friend, too.
UPDATE, 6/22: There's good news: Thanks in part to your prayers, I'm totally healed! It's definitely a miracle!
