An act of faith = miracle.

I know that I write a lot on faith and miracles for today. God loves to "manifest" His glory to anyone who will ask according to His will. So here is the story of a miracle that happened in our family on Monday night 1/5/15. 

One of our daughters is pregnant and near full term. She was told that she had a "heart shaped" uterus which makes the baby lay horizontal as there is more room side to side for the baby to stretch out. The baby was breach when it should of been "head down" for birthing by this time. Over the course of the conversations I mentioned to her husband that he, being the father, should lay hands on her belly taking authority over him commanding him to turn the way he is supposed to be. This conversation was had on a couple of occasions so on Monday night he took the advise and laid hands on his wife and prayed that the baby should be obedient and turn. (If the baby didn't turn soon they would schedule a C-section, something that they would want to avoid.) 

That mere act of faith was honored by God and the baby turned. On Tues when our daughter went to the doctor he confirmed the change and the C-section was not necessary to be scheduled. 

Elise and I have experienced the same thing during our "childbearing" years. (Not that they ever end, looking at Abraham as an example.) We had several home births and one of them was in the breach position. Again, "pray without ceasing making your requests before God," I laid hands on Elise and took authority over the baby and commanded he change positions for a proper birth. Withing hours he did and we then could participate in a natural home birth.

Knowing God's outline for authority and implementing it through prayer should be a "basic instinct" for every believer concerning every situation. "We have not because we ask not." "Pray without ceasing", know Gods will by His word and ask in Jesus name and you will have what you ask for in accordance with His will.

The ramifications of what we reap when we don't do this are just unacceptable.

No matter what:

Pray first.

If that's not enough then fast and pray.

You can add to that weeping.

God will see your need and meet it.

He will glorify His name and manifest His glory.

You will be blessed.

Experience the power of your faith through prayer.

Encourage others to do so also.
