"The Anatomy of
a Miracle in Progress"
Chapter Two
Most preachers wait until a miracle is complete
before giving their testimony. I felt led by the Holy
Spirit to report the progress of the miracle while it is
unfolding. This is meant to be an encouragement to
believers who may at this time be going through all
kinds of struggles. Since having part of my colon
detached, cut out, and the rest being reattached, there
has been no intense cramping in my stomach. Before
this, the excruciating pain would last for up to two
days and nights with no letup. Thank God for this
relief so that I am not hindered from work and
ministering as I was before.
I feel the reason the Lord gave me a new name
during this time, "the Apostle of the Impossible", is
because He is directing me to face this challenge head
on. I was born without a hip socket in my left leg.
X-rays say that it is impossible for me to walk, yet I
walk. I stuttered, yet now I preach without that
impediment of speech. Anemia tries to rob me of my
energy, yet I am strong in the Lord and the power of His
might. I was shy and afraid of people, but He has given
me a boldness to proclaim His Word without fear of
favor. While my own body was being attacked with what
medical science says is incurable, I pray for people,
and they are being healed.
While I am suppose to be recuperating from
major surgery, I minister just about every week with the
anointing. It makes me stronger. Life is precious and
time is valuable. There is no time to waste. The
miracle in progress is for encouragement to others and
for the glory of God! A converted Moslem who now
preaches the gospel all over Africa told me that because
I keep on going, and offer no excuses to slow down, I
have become his role model. An overwhelming number of
God's people have written to encourage me for which I am
grateful. It is bringing many into a unity of spirit in
the body of Christ.
