Yet another testimony

It is Tuesday night. I am listening to Anthony Brown sing at the end of the prayer service to kick off resuming Bible study at my church next month. I was supposed to be in the house of the Lord. But of course I forgot. The Lord knew I was going to forget, which is why He put things in place so I would be reminded and watch online.

Many people who know me personally know that I play Pokémon Go. There are some things that the game entails that may not make sense to you, but I have to explain them to you for you to understand why it is important to share. In the game, there is something called a gym that you can leave one of your Pokémon in. Once it stays in there for 8 hours, you get 50 pokecoins. Usually, when I put one in the gym at my church, someone comes in and kicks it out minutes after I've put mine in. So on a regular Tuesday, I don't have one in the gym. However, this person obviously did not come to church this past Sunday, so it was still in there. There are also battles called raids that you can do with people across the world to battle against a Pokémon that might take numerous people to defeat. I remembered there was one that I wanted to battle, so I went into the game to complete this raid. Shortly after it was over, I saw that the Pokémon I had at the gym at my church was kicked out, which made me remember the night of prayer.

It was too late for me to try to drive to the church being as it was 7:20 and it started at 7 and would take me about 20 minutes to get there. I logged in from my phone, and they were at the end of praise and worship. My pastor spoke a little before he jumped to the scripture for the night's prayer. When he told us to open our Bibles, he said to turn to 2 Chronicles 20. That's right, Jehoshaphat's prayer!

I immediately burst into tears because if you know what the prayer of Jehoshaphat means to me, you know why this is a testimony. 

A couple of years back, I had a devotional about the prayer of Jehoshaphat and decided to pray that prayer during my morning walk. A yellow and black bird, a bird I have never seen before and have never seen again, walked in front of me for close to a minute. When I looked up the spiritual meaning of this bird, it represented healing. The fact that this was the prayer that fell on THIS day was not a coincidence. Today I had an appointment with Jordan's functional medicine doctor, which was the reason for the outburst in tears.

I have been trying my hardest to be obedient to what God is calling me to do in this season. Praying, fasting, and listening to my dreams, which led me to create a workbook - it will be available to purchase soon. I haven't made any harsh decisions about my future, even though there are a lot of things I would be doing differently right now if I had my way. He has called me to be honest with myself about things that I have been doing that go against His Word that I have had to make right. So I am doing some healing of my own. However, during my prayer session, I called for God to be in the middle of this new "treatment" with Jordan. I haven't done that before. I prayed out loud that I don't doubt God would heal my son, I just don't know if it's His will for my son. But for everything from the prayer I prayed years ago, to the Sunday he wanted to stay in the sanctuary, to tonight, proves to me that it IS His will. I claim it in Jesus' name.

I have a health update for Jordan coming real soon. Until then, keep trusting in God over your circumstances. Reflect on who God is, recall His past work, reiterate the problem, remember His past promises, ask Him for help, remain in Him, and await His answer.
