Healed!!!

When my mom first got diagnosed with kidney failure in December I bought her this sign and hung it up in her hospital room!!!

I prayed and prayed and prayed for my mom's healing! I day-dreamed of her being well enough to help me with bringing kids to church again and I know if she could have she would have, because she was very passionate about that. I thought in my mind, who could handle a whole bus FULL of rowdy, rough kids with NO PROBLEM??? MY MOM!!! Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd

WE PRAYED FOR HER HEALING!!!

And on February 17th,

MY MOM DIED!!!

But that does not mean that God did NOT answer my prayer...

"For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."

(1 Corinthians 15:53-54)

AND WHEN MY MOM DIED,

SHE GOT HER HEALING!!!

God healed her the

way HE WANTED!!!

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4)

For although she wasn't healed in the in the physical sense the way I would have wanted, she truly IS healed!!! We don't always understand the way God does things but we just have to trust him!!! As for God, his way is perfect..." (Psalm 18:30)

How can their be a greater healing than for that which is corruptible to become incorruptible??!?! And for that which was mortal to become immortal?!!?! She is in no more pain, she will never again have to struggle spiritually in her flesh, for the former things are all passed away, a glorified body...

And although I still hurt and I still cry and although I miss her, God answered my prayers, SHE IS HEALED!!! Not in my way, but in God's way!!! “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” (Isaiah 55:8)

"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." (Matthew 8:17)

"and with his stripes

we are healed."

(Isaiah 53:5)

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
