If you ever receive news that your prayers have been heard, please let us know. It’s always good to know that prayers are heard and answered. I gave up long ago.
Dear FRiend,
I believe my prayers are always heard. Sometimes they are not answered the way I would like, and sometimes it’s not right away, but it’s always for the best and always on time even when I don’t realize it. 35 years ago I prayed that the President of the US would move the Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Ronald Reagan was president at the time, and I loved him, but this was something that he did not do.
Then, Donald Trump did it within the first year of his Presidency. I know this may not mean a whole lot to many people, but it happened to be “a thing” for me.
I have gone through some tremendous traumatic stuff, and at the time, could not understand why God would allow such things to happen. Then, sometimes YEARS later, something occurs that I am able to achieve victory, primarily because of that trauma that happened years before. It is very weird. At my advanced age, looking back, I see many instances of answered prayer that I did not see at the time they were taking place. Perhaps it is the way we look at events, rather than the events themselves that are answers to prayer. As Jesus said “The rain falls on the just and the unjust.” It is our choice whether we react with disgust at getting soaked, or choose to dance in the rain.
Lois Evans is a Believer, and may view her terminal illness as a door to Eternal Joy in Heaven with Christ. I will pray for her healing as long as she is with us. God may choose to take her home though. But she has touched many people in her lifetime and has prayed for many others. So it is now our turn to pray for her.
There are new “Prayer Threads” every day on FR. I always respond with a prayer, even if it is a FReeper with whom I have had “words” with in the past.
Sometimes we get reports of answered prayer, and sometimes not. But I will never turn down a request.
Sorry for the long-winded reply, but I wanted to share my thoughts with you, since you asked.
We have a healing prayer service in our church. One man who had a stroke, heart problem and other medical issues came one evening. Hands and prayers were laid on him. Every medical problem healed!!! His testimony is amazing and he is amazed at what happened.
In one month I had two events with my left hand. One a burn from lifting a pan that had been in the oven. Husband prayed over my hand with me and instantly pain left. Blisters that were under the skin several layers never came to the top and went away. Within a few days all evidence of severe burn gone!! AMEN. Couple of weeks later left fingernails were slammed in a window in our old home. Blood and bruises under the nails. The throbbing was so intense I was almost passing out. We prayed over this while hand elevated with ice. In a minute ALL THROBBING left!! The healing and bruising took some time to heal but no pain and they healed without injury to nails.
About a year ago my vision went fuzzy where I could not drive or read anything. Went to Bible Study. Preacher happened to start with another chapter in another book...Matthew that talked about all the healings Jesus did. My friend next to me began praying in the Spirit. Short time later I could read my Bible and it went away forever!!!! Even more a miracle that day, I usually have to have +1’s...I could read with NO glasses!
What we’ve learned, if you don’t ask for healing from those that will lay hands on you and have faith Jesus does miracles, they might not happen. Read about healings. Call prayer lines like 700 Club. Never give up as Satan wants us to and we are children of the Most High God!
Blessings to you for healing in Jesus Mighty Name!
