I know that God can heal anybody he wants to. We have seen all those amazing stories in the Bible and he’s raised people from the dead. I love those stories so much. I’ve watched God do amazing things with people I know. One of my friends who was an amazing singer. A year ago right near Easter she had a brain aneurism and was in coma. The doctors called in her family to tell them to come and say goodbye to her. People from all over the world came together and prayed for her to wake up out of her coma. The longer she remained in it the chances of survival stacked against her. The chorus in that song was very fitting to her circumstances.
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down.
When I hear that trumpet sound
I’m gonna rise up outta the ground
There ain’t no grave
Gonna hold my body down.
Even though this song was about Jesus in the grave before he rose from the grave on the third day. It applied to what was happening to Lici. I listened to this song which she sang with Travis Cottrell everyday morning and night and prayed for her to wake. Right before Lici had her brain anuresrum she was singing with CeCe Winans on her album Believe. Both songs were so powerful in her healing.
Not only did she wake up but she went through intense therapy and was told that she would make a full recovery. It was hard but she stuck to it and a few months ago was reconciled with her beloved daughter whom she had been separated for a year. The doctors and specialists were in awe about her recovery according to them she should have been dead. God healed her body and even though she can’t sing like she used to I believe with my whole heart she will sing again. Miracles do happen.
When I feel discouraged with my best friend who has breast cancer I am reminded that God is A God of miracles. I’ve started listening to Ain’t no grave by Travis Cottrell and Elicia Brown as a reminder that God has my friend no matter what. I’ve seen other miracles that God has done and I believe in the power of prayer. Many are praying for her and when you read this blog I hope that you will pray for her as well.
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 9:20-22
” And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, If I only touch his garment, I will be made well. Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well. And instantly the woman was made well. “
So many great stories. A reminder that no matter what God has this under His control and He loves both of these women so much and they both are loved by so many. That is super humbling to me. God continues to use both of these woman and He will walk by them everyday for their faith and never giving up no matter what. I love that.
Beauty from Ashes.
