My wife and I prayed for an elderly woman in a wheelchair. Communicating in what little Mandarin I know, we tried to find out what happened but the explanation was too complex for me to understand. She may have had a stroke.
So we didn't know what was wrong with her but we knew something wasn't right so we took her hand and prayed.
She didn't jump out of her wheelchair but there was a visible change in her face and body posture, as if her entire body went "aaaaah..." and relaxed!
Incredible.
In the meantime, we'll keep believing that the seed of healing has been planted and it's going to consume every part that isn't working right.
I absolutely loved this opportunity to minister with my wife and have my kids watch and learn!
UPDATE: 31st OCTOBER 2016
An update on the lady who was in a wheelchair yesterday. We saw her OUT OF HER WHEELCHAIR TODAY! We spoke with her and noticed that she has some speaking difficulty so we'll be praying for that next but she kept giving us a thumbs-up and waving enthusiastically as we left turning around and telling people next to her what we did for her.
So there are times when what we pray for doesn't happen immediately but may happen later. We stand in faith and believe that the healing process has already begun in their bodies.
Today while grocery shopping, I had the chance to pray for an elderly man who had suffered 3 strokes, walking with a cane and a lady recovering from major surgery on her leg which could not be used for a few months and caused the muscles to deteriorate. In both cases, they did not have pain or display any signs of improvement, but my job now is to stand upon the truth that healing has begun in their bodies.
