Our Faithful God

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Confess your trespasses[a] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

We believe that God is calling us to obedience and faith in these verses. So in faith, we took Channy in last night before our elders and two of our pastors to have her prayed for and annointed with oil (a symbol of the Holy Spirit). We were blessed to have Nathans supervisor Cliff show up just at the right time to be able to stay and be with us as they prayed for Channy and her healing. It was awesome to see our church leaders come around our little girl and show her such love and care. We just know that the Lord is going to use Channy in a powerful way to bring Himself glory.
