Scripture for the Day (May 21, 2015)

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20, KJV)

The good news today is, God is still in the miracle business! The following are a few excerpts from a “Woman’s Day” article, authored by Marlisse Cepeda, and posted on the internet:

Taylor Hale, 18, probably shouldn’t be alive today. She was declared brain dead, taken off life support, and her family started making funeral arrangements. But then the “Hand of God” intervened.

Taylor had suffered a severe brain injury and was placed in a medically induced coma. A week into her hospital stay she had a brain hemorrhage. Doctors told her family that nothing else could be done to help her and that she would never wake up again. They said “no one comes back” from that kind of brain injury.

Soon after, chiropractor and family friend Dr. Jeff Stickel came to the hospital, saying he felt God was trying to tell him to treat her. Her parents didn’t feel comfortable with that given how far gone Taylor already was. Dr. Stickel asked if he could pray with the family. With his hand on her neck he prayed that Taylor would recover. He left a couple of minutes later, but came back. “It was like God nudged me back in there”. This time he prayed, feeling her skull. He left the room after the second prayer.

That same day, doctors took Taylor off life support, but reconnected it after something amazing happened. She started to try to breathe on her own for the first time. That same day, her brain activity increased, and she mumbled words and moved her eyes. Then, finally, a technically braindead Taylor defied all odds and woke up.

Today, Taylor is walking, talking and even driving on her own. She’s also set to graduate from Waukee High School in Iowa next week. Although she’s lost her sense of smell and much of her long-term memory, she’s very aware what a miracle her recovery is. “God can save people…I’m always thankful to all the doctors and nurses and therapists who helped me get better, but God did most of the saving.”

What an awesome God we serve!!!!!

they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:18, KJV)

for I am the Lord that healeth thee. (Exodus 15:26, KJV)

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; (Psalm 103:3, KJV)

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. (Matthew 9:35, KJV)

 

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalm 1:3)
