These past few weeks truly have been a blessing for me. Last week we had our Thanksgiving break. During it I was able to go home for the week and relax with the family, and at that was able to finally see my nephew. It truly was a blessing to be able to go home for a little while and get refreshed, and sleep in at that since my normal days begin around 4:30am.

The amazing thing about seeing my nephew is because He already has a testimony of God’s faithfulness and God’s protection, and God’s healing power. So here is some of his story, Whenever He was in the womb, he started to have heart problems. I believe it is called a heart murmur. His heart was beating 65 out of 100. Basically that means His heart was skipping beats. Thats not good, not good at all. I knew none of this up until the point when I receive a text from my mother telling me these things, and asking me to stand alongside my family in prayer for healing over his life.

So I stood along side them in prayer. As the weeks went by I heard no news for a little while, but I continued to pray and seek the fathers word for healing for my nephew. I believe a month went by and I received once again another text, but this one was different. His heart, it was getting better. He now was beating an 80/100. He was healing. The doctors had no words, or even thoughts how this happened. They did not believe he was going to be healed or at that be able to be born.

As the weeks continued to go by I heard no news once again for a little while. On one of our prayer’s early in the morning I felt the leading to pray specifically for my nephew. As I prayed for him, I spoke life over him and spoke into the plan God already has in store for him. I heard God’s voice speak to pretty clear as I have ever heard Him.

“He is Healed” So I continued to worship and thank Him for what He has done. As the day continued I received a text from my mother once again, this one was a little bit different then all the others. She told me how his heart beat was at 100/100. The doctors shocked, and in awe of what has happened in the past months. That they have no answers for this. All my sister said was that this is our God.

Truly my nephew is a Miracle Baby.

The doctors said he wasn’t going to make it, that he wasn’t going to be able to be born and if he did he would have to get a pacemaker. Now have no answer for how is heart is healthy.

All I have to say is my God is Faithful, my God is still a healer, and my God is still in the miracle working business.

The blessings I have been able to be apart of truly has challenged me as a young man. They have truly challenged me to look at myself and see all He has done for me in this life. Now looking back I truly have been blessed in such a great measure in every area of my life, not just the ones I wanted to be or just thought I was at first. Once I looked back, wow, what a life I have had.

Like normal God starts to challenge me with this, How often do I truly look up to Him for my needs not just my wants? or at that, How often do I just look to God just because He is God? How often do I look to Him because He is my Love? When did I loose site of this? When did I loose focus on my Beloved? Do I just look to God when I need something or want something? Or is He actually someone I just want to talk and have communion with?

Do I just look up to Him when I need something or do I dial into who He is and what He has in store? Not because I desire something of Him, but because I just desire to just listen to Him and be close?

It’s time for us to dial up and into Him not because… but just because.

Let His peace be with you all the days of your life.
