TESTIMONY FROM THE PAST

ONE DAY EARLY IN OUR CHRISTIAN WALK SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT WAS BAD. WE DID NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WORD. HOWEVER WE DID KNOW THE NAME OF JESUS, EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT KNOW THE FULL AUTHORITY AND POWER THAT IT COMMANDED. MY WIFE WAS COOKING SOME GROUND BEEF IN A SKILLET. THE GREASE WAS COOKING OUT OF THE MEAT AND WAS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT IT SHOULD BE DRAINED OFF. IT WAS PROBABLY A GOOD 350 DEGREES IN TEMPERATURE. MY WIFE WAS FINISHING UP SOME OTHER PART OF THE MEAL AND WAS THEN GOING TO DRAIN THE OIL OFF THE BEEF. IN THE MEAN TIME OUR SON WHO WAS A TODDLER CAME IN AND GRABBED THE SKILLET HANDLE AND PULLED IT OVER ON HIS ARM. HE LET OUT A SCREAM AND HIS ARM WAS COVERED WITH THIS HOT BOILING OIL. HIS ARM WAS INSTANTLY BEET RED. MY WIFE GRABBED HIM UP AND WRAPPED A BLANKET AROUND HIS ARM AND BEGAN TO PRAY AND SPOKE TO THE ARM IN JESUS NAME TO BE RESTORED WITH NO BLISTERING OR SCARING AND FOR THE PAIN TO LEAVE. HE STOPPED CRYING THE INSTANT MY WIFE TOLD THE PAIN TO GO IN JESUS NAME. I CAME HOME RIGHT AT THE TAIL END OF IT ALL. OUR SON FELL ASLEEP IN MY WIFE'S ARM AND SHE LAID HIM DOWN. I ASK HER WHAT THE BLANKET WAS FOR. SHE SAID TO SHIELD HER EYES FROM SEEING HIS ARM, BECAUSE SHE KNEW IT WOULD BE HARD FOR HER AT THAT TIME TO BELIEVE FOR A HEALING AND RESTORATION WHILE LOOKING AT THE BURNED ARM. IT WAS TO PROTECT HER FAITH FROM DOUBTING. WE HAVE SINCE GROWN AND DON'T LET WHAT WE SEE INFLUENCE OUR FAITH. OUR SON SLEPT FOR A SHORT WHILE AND WOKE UP LAUGHING. WE WENT OVER AND UNWRAPPED HIS ARM AND IT WAS PERFECT. NO BURNS, NO RED SPOTS, NO BLISTERS. WE DID NOT KNOW MUCH, BUT WE STOOD ON WHAT WE DID KNOW AND GOD WORKED A MIRACLE FOR US..
