Not My Miracle

Back in 2022, I received news from a co worker about her future son in law and daughter who were in a car accident. A very bad one. Her daughter was thankfully okay with some minor injuries, but her son in law was in a coma. I can’t recall if it was induced or not. He was broken all over, even his trachea crushed. I did not know those details at the time Only that he was in such bad shape they weren’t sure he’d make it. The next day, while on a walk, I get a message from her terrified they’d lose him. A wave fell over me of God’s presence telling me to send a prayer to her I had my newborn with me, the hospital was far and even if I wanted to go in person to pray, it was Covid times. I felt Him lead me still to pray over a voice memo. I immediately clammed up in embarrassment but pushed through that to obey. I began to pray aloud, recording it. It felt weird at first, but I reminded myself it wasn’t for everyone to hear, just my coworker and her future son in law. So I listened and leaned in to the Holy Spirit inside me and what His will was for her son in law. I realized quickly and confidently it was for him to live and be healed , despite what the doctors were saying. I felt God call me to pray healing over his blood, his lungs, and many other parts. I had not known the condition of his blood or parts that were crushed. I just new it was bad. But he told me specifics about him and I declared life over him. I declared new organs and new blood in his body. I sent it quickly afraid I would back out if I listened to it. She played it for him, with faith she played it. Within a several hours or less I get a text from her that He woke up. The first miracle. Then he breathed on his own. Then his organs, blood, his trachea that was crushed, his spine healed. Every part of him- no longer broken but healed. I think of his story often. I photographed he and his wife’s wedding the next year. He didn’t limp or have issues from it. He was a walking miracle by the grace of God who said he wasn’t done with him yet. I am blessed to hear God’s calling to pray for him, to watch my coworkers faith to play it for him, and to see what God still does.
