* GOD MOMENT: THE TWO YEAR OLD GIRL

Shortly before Christmas one year a woman called our office.  She had attended many of our weekly programs several years before.  Her granddaughter was suffering from a cancerous brain tumor, and the medical world had no more steps to take.  The major hospital treating her had sent her home, evidently to die.  The little 2 year old girl was passing out frequently, and the family just thought that one day she would pass out and not wake up.  The woman asked to bring the girl to our office for healing prayer.  I knew from our past relationship that the woman had great faith.

So the woman and the granddaughter and the mother of the granddaughter came to the office.  The little girl was precious.  Cathy held her hand and showed her around the office.  I spoke about healing for a short while to the grandmother and the mother, covering the basics of what the Lord has done for us.  And then while the grandmother held the granddaughter, I prayed healing for her.

Sometime after Christmas there was a message on the office telephone.  The family had taken the little girl to the major hospital for a checkup.  And the grandmother announced on the telephone message that the doctors said that 82% of the tumor had disappeared!  She thanked me for praying.  I called her back and we rejoiced together.

A few weeks later another message appeared on our telephone system.  It was the grandmother again, joyfully announcing that another hospital visit showed that 94% of the tumor had disappeared.  I called her back, and said, “You know what is going to happen the next time you take her there!”

Then a few weeks later came the message: 100% of the tumor has disappeared.  The grandmother was thankful and joyful. "You can use this account anytime, anywhere," she exclaimed.

Praise God!

* GOD MOMENT: JUST FOR YOU

Perspiration trickled steadily from my forehead after standing three hours in line with my wife and perhaps ten thousand other people outside the coliseum.  We had driven several hundred miles the day before to attend a series of wonderful crusade meetings.  Now we were waiting for the doors to open for the last and likely most eventful session.

The line finally began to move, and slowly we crept forward.  For more than twenty minutes we moved until at last we were able to enter the building.  Quickly we hurried to entrance ramps to the seat sections.

         

Every meeting had been crowded.  In fact, a few thousand people the night before had been unable to get in.

 

As we emerged inside the arena, our hearts sank.  It appeared that every seat already was taken.

         

Quickly we went back down the ramp and hurried as best we could in the dense crowd to another section.  Again, no seats.  We repeated the process over and over.

         

Slowly we began to realize that we might be among the ones forced to go outside.

         

As a last attempt, hurrying before the announcement was made that all standing must leave, we walked around to the section beside the stage.  We struggled to get to the top of the ramp to the seats.  Looking about, I saw no available seats.  I looked down.  Nothing.  I looked up.  Nothing.  I was panting now, and I just stood, damp from perspiration, tired from the day of waiting and standing in the blazing sun.

         

Slowly I turned to where my wife was standing and, I assumed, looking around.

         

Cathy was staring directly into the stands to our right, not moving at all.  I looked in the direction she was staring.  A seated woman was staring back at us.  Two empty seats were to her right, and another to her left, but no people were moving towards them.

         

“It’s Joan,” was all Cathy could say.

         

It really was Joan, the wife of the former assistant minister of the church back home, hundreds of miles away.  Joan had been fighting a serious illness for years.  She and her husband had moved from our city a year ago.

         

Shocked at seeing her in this huge crowd, we did our best to walk around others and go towards her.

         

As we came nearer, Cathy shouted, “I can’t believe it’s you!  We’ve been looking everywhere for seats.  There just aren’t any.” 

         

“We’ve been saving these two,” Joan replied, stunned at seeing us.  “I guess we were saving them for you.”

         

We all knew God had arranged this, for Cathy and me to be able to participate in the final session and to sit beside Joan and her minister husband Bob, who was dumbstruck by our presence when he returned in a minute to claim his seat on Joan’s left.  We even had time to pray together for Joan’s health before the night ended.  Another precious moment orchestrated by God.
