The wife called with great concern. Her husband Jack had just been taken to the hospital with a bleeding brain tumor. He was now in intensive care.
Quickly I went to the hospital, calling Cathy to meet me there.
Arriving, I found a large number of coworkers of the man standing about. They could not get into the intensive care. Jack was in a coma. His wife came, and I spoke with her a few moments. Then Cathy arrived and talked with those present. With all the people about and Jack in a closed off intensive care unit, I wondered a bit about my next step.
I quietly walked away from the group and around the corner, finding a chair where I could be alone. There I prayed. I asked God what he wanted me to do here. It was very clear: pray for him to be healed.
So I returned. Somehow the crowd of coworkers had dissipated. Cathy alone was there. We went up to the entrance of the intensive care unit and pressed the red buzzer. I had even wondered if we would be able to get in at all.
But instantly a nurse answered and said for us to come in. She gave us the specific location.
Jack was all alone in his room, lying in a coma. Cathy went up one side of the bed and I the other. The air was full of electricity. It was palpable. I anointed Jack with oil for healing, and I spoke the healing words as I was led to do. And I said “Be healed in Jesus name!”
Cathy and I turned and walked to the door of the room. I glanced back at Jack still lying on the bed, and one arm raised and waved at us!
The next day I telephoned the hospital room and his wife answered. She was excited. Jack was sitting up in a chair praising God. The neurosurgeon had been by, and he had said “I didn’t do this.”
No he didn’t. God did. All glory to God!
