| Myself, Jesse, and Dee |
This is my
friend Jesse. He has Machado-Joseph
Disease. It’s a rare disease that takes
away all muscle control. Jesse is 28
years old and I've had the privilege of getting to know him the past year. In this picture, Jesse is standing with the
assistance of my friend Dee and myself.
The last few times we have met we've been taking Jesse on a faith walk
out of his wheelchair and around his room in the nursing home. The three of us are believing God for a
miracle healing and for Jesse’s strength to return as a part of that healing. Jesse is unable to walk. This past year, Dee and I have been spending
every Monday at 1:00 praying with Jesse, singing over him, reading the word,
and assisting him with painting. You
could say that Dee and I are on a faith walk as well.
Just
yesterday, Monday, after visiting with Jesse and Dee, I was deeply stirred in
my spirit to seek the Lord on Jesse’s behalf.
This morning the Lord prompted me to read Mark 2:1-12. It’s the story of four friends that were
trying to get their friend, a paraplegic, to see Jesus for healing. The house where Jesus was, was completely
packed out, so they dug through the roof and lowered the man down to him. Jesus then responded to these friends and the
paraplegic after seeing their faith. Jesus
was moved by their faith towards healing, not just physical but spiritual as
well.
That is the
sort of faith I want to surround others with.
A faith for healing that will move the heart of God.
As Dee,
Jesse, and I continue on this faith walk –as well as many others who are
praying for him- would you consider coming along side someone you know who is
on a faith walk themselves? Let’s decide
to position ourselves to move the heart of God and see healing take place. Let’s join together in unity and risk
believing for something extraordinary and impossible; something only Jesus can
accomplish not only for ourselves, but for others.
Are you on a
faith walk right now? If so, and you
need others to surround you in faith and have no one, then please leave your
first name in the comments and I will be praying for you. You can also reach me on Facebook here: Tasha Johnson, Author "Path of the Blessing"
