The Body of Christ at Work

Monday, November 19 marked the 3rd Sacred Assembly and the 25th day in a row that our four year old son Joshua vomited. What began as the 48 hour flu in our family three weeks prior turned into a continuous cycle for our youngest son. Four trips to three different doctors, and an IV line to replace fluids resulted in little.

After another early morning wake-up call to change the sheets, scrub the carpet, and bath Joshua we again cried out to God to heal our son. The still small voice replied take him to the church to be prayed over. That evening at the Sacred Assembly we took our son before the body of Christ and asked that he be prayed over.

Elders came to anoint him with oil and laypersons came to lay hands on our family and pray. Some of the "prayers" we have known for several years and some we had never met; but they came to be the hands and feet of Christ. We have never felt so loved and supported by the body.

Our son was healed that night! Praise the Lord! No more early morning wake up calls and no more vomiting because the Church allowed itself to be the hands and feet of Christ!
