My Daily Journal: March 21, 2018 – Praying Up A Miracle

This is My Daily Journal and today is Wednesday, March 21, 2018 and we’re going to talk today about praying up miracles.  Do YOU Believe in Miracles?

Do you believe in the power of PRAYER?

I’m a huge believer in the power of prayer and I sure believe in miracles.

We all have several in our immediate circle of friends – that are in desperate need of prayer.

I read on fb this morning that the young wife and mom who was injured in the fire on East 2nd Street just a couple mornings ago – is on life support in Vanderbilt.

And most of you know the story of Jerry and Wanda Mizell. And there are so many others.

I was reading in a couple of my devotional books this morning and one of them is “Draw The Circle – The 40 Day Prayer Challenge.” And I highly recommend that book to anyone who needs a little lift or a little encouragement. But In that book – Mark Batterson, tells a story about Dr. Bob Bagley, missionary to Africa. “His tribal church was literally meeting under a tree and one day the local witch doctor cursed the tree and all the leaves withered.
Those worshiping with Dr Bagley not only lost their shade. They also lost their status! That curse overshadowed them all.
So Dr. Bagley decided to call a public prayer meeting. He laid hands on the tree and prayed that God would resurrect it. I love his prayer: “It’s not my name that’s at stake.”Dr Bagley prayed.
He knew that he couldn’t establish God’s reputation without risking his own!”
But guess what? Not only did God resurrect the tree, it became the only tree of its type that yielded fruit twice a year!

Mark also added – “It’s the impossible prayers that honor God because they reveal faith and allow God to reveal His glory.’

Now WHO would even THINK to pray over a TREE??? Sounds like something “I” would do. My cousin’s daughter gave me a vile of oil that was prayed over and anointed by her little pentecostal church in Ledbetter. She had messaged me and told me of the things she was anointing with ‘her’ little vile and the miracles she was seeing. SO she offered ME a vile – and I took it🙂 HEY – I may be goofy – but I’m no dummy. And to this day – I anoint things and people and pray over them and they don’t even know it’s happening – but God knows and that’s all that matters.

Now I LOVE stories like this. But even “I” wondered – “Could this be a true story?” SO I set my book aside and researched Dr Bob Bagley – YUP – there’s no time like the present – especially if you’re as absent minded as “I” am. AND I found that Dr Bob Bagley is Director of Missionaries in Africa. And this story? It’s all over the internet as one of his ‘miracle’ stories he likes to tell. I’d be telling that story TOO – if it was mine to tell. I’d be shouting it from the roof tops.

Sadly – too many don’t believe in the power of prayer and you must pray believing – if you want your miracle.

The special prayer service for Jerry and Wanda’s healing – (he’s on a kidney transplant list and she’s just been diagnosed with inoperable cancer.) will be this Sunday from 3 to 3:30pm at the Christ Community Church – near Barkley Airport – 8270 Hinkleville Road – Paducah. If you can’t actually be there for that service – I hope you’ll at least be praying. What a time – for God to show us all a miracle.

Where ever you’re reading this from – around this great big world – I ask that you join us in prayer for these 3 miracles and more.  There’s power in prayer!!!

Peace and lots of love – coming to all of you – from Round Knob Canyon ..
