The FINGER OF GOD

One lady was brought to me at the end of an amazing meeting in Karachi, Pakistan, who had what looked like a deformed hand. The knuckle of her index finger was almost on top of the knuckle for her pointer finger, and the remainder of her index finger was heading toward her ring finger, almost crossing over it.
Through the interpreter I could understand that it brought her a great deal of constant discomfort.
I placed my hand as gently as I could over the top of hers and in the name of Jesus I commanded every muscle, every ligament, every vein and ever fibre of her hand to be completely healed. I asked God for a creative miracle, and it was as if He just reached out of Heaven and said "here, let me get that for you", and in three short movements I watched her finger re-align before my very eyes.
She smiled while opening and closing her hand for first tome in only God knows how long and said in broken English "I am fine now, thank you".
Praise be to the God who still reaches out of heaven to heal today!

'What Would Jesus Say' to Your Church?

Some people criticize the church out of anger while some people defend the church out of ignorance, but when Jesus dictated the seven letters to the churches found in the book of Revelation He was neither angry nor ignorant. He just had such a passionate love for the church that he was willing to share a few 'home truths' that might spur them on to what they could be (if they had ears to hear).
The church today might need to hear similar things from Jesus... Sometimes He might be saying what he is proud of and other times indicating where our short comings are.
The truth is none of us are a part of the perfect church and we would do well to remember that Jesus loves us all and wants each if us to be all we can be in God.
Let's not ditch the church because of it's short comings or be so proud of it that we can't see them.
Rather let's with sober minded judgment press in to be all we can be, listening to the voice of Jesus, empowered by His Spirit as we go.
