Faith in God Brings Peace


Faith in God Brings Peace

Met a man who was such a blessing. He had been a catholic and did not agree with all the doctrine in the Catholic Church he had seen. He referred to some type of connection between him and God in some kind of terminology that was not exactly the Christian terminology that we are used to. I told him, 'That's it! He responded in a really excited voice. He shared that he talks with God and has a connection between him and God. Said you don’t need to pray all the many prayers for all the beads, but he prayed once a day and did not worry any more the rest of the day. He showed great trust and faith in God. What a lesson to us! He had met his wife at a blind date and they liked each other immediately. She was not well, (The patient) but had such a smile on her face.

We must forgive others.
Met a young looking gentleman in ER who had a son 19 years old who was shot by a gang in CA. The son was in a wheel chair when he was shot. The police felt it was a set up. The man had just heard a message from his son over the telephone left for him that he loved him. He was heartbroken and referred to what Jesus went through on the cross for us. I left him some literature and had prayer listening to his grief. He planned to go to CA the see about what had happened hoping for revenge for his son's death. Revenge will not bring back his son. God will revenge for us if we trust him. Holding on to our anger and unforgiveness will not bring his son back.

God Still Does Miracles Today
A staff member pulled me into the hallway and said she wanted to share a miracle with me. She continued to share that her sister had lost her peripheral vision and had only tunnel vision. She had even went to a
Specialist and doctors told her it would be a miracle if she got it back and that she could even get worse. Her church (Church of God) prayed for her and she felt a warm feeling come over her eyes. She went shopping and her eyes….they were the words….”Opened” Her one eye was not the same…the church prayed again and God restored her complete eyesight. This staff member was so blessed that she was telling people and felt God did it for this reason to encourage others to believe what God can do. She went on to share that she had another relative (I think it was an aunt) who was told she would be in a nursing home the rest of her life at age 40ish. Today, she is driving a car. Praise God! He answers our prayers the little things as well as the big things.

You can know you are ready for heaven.
Met a patient who shared that when he was three years old his face was torn by a mean dog. The dog tore his face up pretty bad, and the only thing that saved him was the fact that his mother had put a fur around
his neck preventing the dog from cutting his juggler vein. After that time, he was a shadow in public hiding from others. He grew up to join the navy. His ship was blown out of the water and he awoke nine days later in Guam and all his friends had perished in the blow up. He married a woman, and finally realized that he wanted to change and be happy. He began to smile all the time and started telling jokes, It really changed him, and people noticed how different he was. He shared that he talked with God, but did not know if he was going to heaven. I told him that he could know. Later, he said he was going to heaven. Maybe this is the way his church believes that you cannot know for certain. You CAN..and the Holy Spirit will give each one of us that assurance that we are ready if we should die.


Jesus Gives His Glow to a Christian.
When I walked into one man's room today, he said he was glad to see someone from heaven. He said he has lost his brother two days ago. We can shine for Jesus in a world of darkness and be a light that will reflect His Goodness and love.
