The Holy Facial
18:47 Posted In Christianity , Personal Edit This 0 Comments »
At the end of each summer I schedule my yearly exfoliation facial. Oh, I know I'm young, and let's just keep it that way. One of my favorite Aveda salons could fit me in the other day, and as I walked in the door a familiar face greeted me. It was Rhonda!! I had no idea she was working there. Rhonda has a son who had a terrible car wreck a few years ago, he was in Neuro ICU with a head injury. They thought Josh would never come out walking and talking again, and Rhonda stepped up to the plate to stand in the gap and pray. It's no secret of how she daily sat at his bedside interceding for him, and praying scripture after scripture over her son. Rhonda said the newspaper reported it all. Today he is doing great and is a sweet young man in school. Rhonda was persistent, and God showed up.
I usually don't do much talking, but I couldn't shut up this time. We talked about how we really believe God's miracles are for today. I told her of how I have seen God working so much lately in the lives of my friends. She said she is praying for God to heal a few children with Autism. There was one report at the Todd Bentley healing revival in Lakeland, Florida of a little boy who was brought for prayer one day. The parents took him home, and put him to bed. The mother said the next morning her little fella made eye contact with her and said,"Hi Momma." My heart melted that day, and I broke out in tears. God is so wonderful, and I'm getting out of the way if he wants to do something for me. Anything.
A few things we really agreed on were:
* God wants to do the miracles today in the USA, if we believe.
* Believing requires action - praying God's word and reciting the scriptures that apply to what you need in your life. What are God's promises to the circumstances? Sometimes we can talk ourselves out of a miracle when we let life get in the way. The pain can come back, and that's when it's time to speak to it with God's word like Jesus spoke to Satan when he was tempted by him. He gave God's truth a voice.
* God will speak to those who are asking Him for His guidance. He will tell you what you should do about it. Just ask.
I'm sure I will go back again next year for my facial. I guess if Rhonda isn't there, I'll be more quiet. I just had a little trouble this time because God has been so good, and I cannot wait to see what is up his sleeve next. For today, I'm smelling like Esther with that Aveda moisturizing oil called "Beautifying". Put the whole bottle on me!
