HEALING OF A SMALL CHILD



I want to share with you the recent miracle that took place in my life. When I was 5 months pregnant, my son was diagnosed with two cysts, one on each side of the brain. They tested him for Downs Syndrome and I thank God that all of his tests came back normal.
After he was born, when he was about 5 months old, I took him for a checkup and his doctor wanted to do an ultrasound to see if the cysts were gone. The cysts were still there and she seemed very concerned about this. She said he had several cysts called Colloid plexus cyst. She called a neurosurgeon to look at the ultrasound and he recommended having an MRI done. The MRI was scheduled on June 18, 1999.
I prayed over my son and I fasted the week before the MRI was to be done. On the day of the MRI, my son was to be put to sleep but right before we went in, he had already fallen asleep in my arms. I asked the nurse if they had already given him something to make him go to sleep since they had already put an IV in his hand. She said, no, they had not given him anything, but it was good that he had already fallen asleep because they wouldn’t have to give him as much of the sedative as they would have.
After the MRI had been scanning for about 20 minutes, one of the doctors that had given him the sedative came in the room because Devin had started waking up before the MRI was done. He told me that he did not see anything on the scan. He and the radiologist were in a room viewing the pictures from the MRI. When he told me he could not find any cysts, I felt an overwhelming burst of joy in my heart. God had answered my prayer. I met with a specialist to go over the MRI and he told me that he could not find the cysts that they had seen earlier on the Ultrasound. He said my baby was perfectly normal. I told him that was what I had been praying for and he said, “Well, your prayers were answered.” I thank God for healing my son Devin who will be 1 year old.
I praise God for being faithful and keeping His promise according to Matthew 18:19:
"If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask for, my Father in heaven will do it for you."
Matthew 18:20:
"For where two or three gather together because they are mine, I will be right there among them."
I want to encourage anyone who needs healing to trust in God. He has been faithful to me all my life. Anytime I have needed healing for my family, He has kept his promise, that He is JEHOVAH RAPHA.
