DAY 7

Donald Morrison | Re:Hope West End

I was a leader at Magnitude this year.

Following a prompt from the stage to pray for each other for healing in faith, a group of our teens prayed over the nerve damage I've had in my shoulder for the past 4 years. That was almost a week ago and I've had no signs of the nerve damage since. As the pain was in my neck, I would usually get it at church looking up for long periods of time. The best part is that, through the teen’s faithfulness, God has healed me to be able to worship Him fully. Praise God!

I was friendly with some of “K.”'s relatives. I knew that she had some mental health challenges.

Our paths would occasionally cross and she would give a brief nod of acknowledgement but then move on. I longed to pray with her for healing but there seemed to be little likelihood of an opportunity to do so.

Then came last Christmas Day! I had jumped out of the car to drop into the home of one of K.’s relatives and was crossing the road to the house. There, about a hundred yards away, was K. walking towards me along the quiet road. I smiled at her and she smiled back, continued to approach me and began to chat. She shared a little of her medical challenges. I knew that she was a committed Christian, so eventually I asked if I might say a little prayer with her. She was happy for me to do so. I prayed a simple prayer of blessing and healing. Then we parted and moved on.

For me, it was such an unexpected and amazing gift from God on Christmas Day! An opportunity to reach out with His Love to another!
