A Season Ends...A New One Begins

It's been since last September that we held a healing service.  This past Sunday 2 members of the congregation were lifted up by others as needing prayer.  At that moment I asked if they wanted to have a healing service and there were many "Yes, yes, yes"'s shouted out.  As May is a very busy month in the life of this rural congregation *(many homecoming/memorial services to attend at other churches), we set the date for the healing service for the first Sunday in June.  Of course, those needing healing prayer before then, were welcome to seek it.  

After Sunday services concluded one of the two people in the congregation lifted up came up and asked for a prayer.  We stood there in the front of the church praying fervishly for her macular degeneration.  When we finished we both exclaimed our love for God and one-another...then walked our separate ways.  

It is so good to see a season of few healing services come to an end and usher in a new season.  Isn't it strange how sometimes our walk goes in seasons rather than being a constant?

Bro. Marty,
I am asking again for you to remember my son during your healing service. You prayed for him earlier in the year, and we have cont. to pray for his healing. The doctor says he is about 2 years ahead of where most would be in the healing process for this cyst.
This is his Senior year and he rode on a bus for UIL and the new skin opened up again. He will cont. on homebound until the end of the year.
I know God has his hand on my son,and he has already touched his life so much this year---we are so Thankful, but he is growing weary again with dealing with this. He still has about the size of a quarter that dosent' seem to want to heal----from the size of my fist. We would appreciate your prayers.
Thank you for praying!

Know that I'm praying fervently for your son. Our God is an awesome God. Simple prayers lifted up to Him are awesome prayers to Him. In my humility, I pray for your son.
In the love of Jesus, I pray...
Amen.
