I have this on-again, off-again topic of study in the area of healing and miracles. Whenever my heart breaks for the need of healing around us, I pick up the study again. After seeing the lack of faith around us who need healing, I’d put away my studies. I think sometimes having great doctors and medical care become their main crutch. They remain in their situations and for whatever reasons, no matter how much I tell them to pursue healing ministries and studies, they don’t or just try half heartedly like throwing their change into a wishing well.

As I’ve picked up the study of healing and miracles again, this time I’ve been listening to Marilyn Hickey. She’s 88 years old, and full of energy and wisdom. I really like her low key way of teaching a supernatural topic too. She confirms what I’ve learned before from other anointed teachers of healing; sometimes miracles are dramatically instant, and others are many consistent acts of faith such as daily decreeing the healing word of God over yourself.

Last week when I was dealing with possible Covid19 in my home and my son was very ill, it was very scary. All the lessons that I’ve learned about healing and miracles automatically kicked in, and I knew that I needed to surround myself with words and people of faith, not facts. Of course I worked closely with his pediatrician via Telehealth conference calls and that’s more than enough medical facts. The worst day was on Thursday when I started not breathing well. Again thanks be to the Holy Spirit, even on that day I set a guard over my mouth. I discovered that even when the storm waves are great and mighty, and it feels like your boat will capsize at any moment you must continue to keep your mouth shut from faithless panic talk and do your best to steer your mind and heart towards faith. And let the outcome be what may be, nevertheless we must do our part and to the best of our ability.

I shudder where my family would’ve been this week, had I caved into my fears last Thursday. Jesus Christ was always in our boat but he was silent. But at an appointed time, Jesus stood up in our boat around 8pm and commanded the storm to be still and it obeyed His word! I’ve never experienced anything so powerful and magnificent! I saved a quote while back that said “when you are taking a test, the teacher is always silent.” Thank God that I paid attention to my studies!

Yesterday’s Thursday was a National Day of Prayer in the USA. The day was sunny, beautiful and calm. As the same ladies who were in the prayer call last Thursday gathered to pray together at 2:50pm yesterday, I cried again. Last Thursday my tears were of overwhelm and despair, yesterday were tears of joy and gratitude.

As our New Jersey state enters into week 9 of the pandemic and quarantine, I was hoping that the coronavirus situation is better contained by now. It doesn’t appear to be the case, and so our women’s prayer group will meet again to pray Monday to Friday at 2:50pm. Thank you Holy Spirit for Free Conference Calling. Please bless this company and fund them well please. 🙏

At yesterday’s prayer call the Bible verse “iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” came up in my mind when another lady was praying. She always bring up in her prayers the government, our political leaders, legislative laws and issues. I always forget to pray for these things. I told our group after that when we pray together outside our own family members, we can learn from each other and sharpen our prayer points too. My prayers have definitely been sharpened and broadened in scope by hearing the prayers of other ladies in the past eight weeks and four years of leading prayer groups.

Marilyn Hickey talked about the sweet water of Elisha in one of her talks. She went and had a taste of this water still available today in Jericho, Israel. She said it was the sweetest water she has ever tasted. A bitter and cursed water became a sweet tasting water. My stormy water last week has become a sweet water as I reflect on my revelation of Jesus Christ as the commander-in-chief of storms. Praising my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Yesterday morning I was able to finish the 45 minute body combat class that I couldn’t finish on Monday. To help me, the Holy Spirit inspired my daughter to join me! Without her next to me I probably would’ve stopped short. I wasn’t energetic in my moves towards the end but I finished! Praise God!

Marilyn Hickey’s website. I’ve already heard several of her messages and they are all excellent!
