A theme in the healings?
Yesterday, we once again heard reports of people's hands/wrists/arms being healed! One man prayed for a market salesman who said his hand had been hurting. When he took hold of it (like shaking it) he said it got better right away!...and introduced him to his co-worker who's back had been hurting. They thanked him for praying and gave him a Coke: "We also want to give you something!"
"For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." (Is. 41: 13)
Some of the teens prayed again at the skate park for one girl with similar wrist issues. They asked her to "rate" how it felt afterwards, 0 being no change and 10 being completely healed. She said, "8.5"!
Then Berndt shared that his (right) shoulder had been hurting, and he really wanted to go bowling. "Even though I'm not yet a Christian, I asked God to take away this pain...and whether you believe me or not...HE DID!"
They've all been the right arms, too! It reminded me of God's display of His might...and thought there was more. I asked around and a lady from Basel said she noticed this theme also. To her it was a symbol of God's healing the history of the people; the right arm had been used to salute Hitler.
Psalm 89:13 Your arm is endued with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
Psalm 98:1 Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
