A High Fever Broken By The Power Of God

Hannah had been running a pretty high fever since Thursday morning and had been complaining of stomach pain. It had even peaked to 104.7 degrees on Friday night and averaged around 103 degrees for the past few days. We took her to the Emergency Room here in Pearland and they transferred her to Children's Memorial in The Medical Center to run some tests. We came back home Saturday morning and kept her medicated on Motrin and Tylenol to keep her fever down.

Last night, the church laid hands on me in prayer as I stood in for Hannah. We prayed that God would break the fever and heal her body. I came home and checked her temperature and the thermometer registered 98.7. She also told me that her stomach felt like it did before I got sick basically stating that she felt better. For the past 24 hours, Hannah has been fever free without the aid of Motrin or Tylenol.

Some would say that healing isn't for today. Matthew 8:17 states that Jesus Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. When Jesus died on the cross, not only was sin defeated, but so was sickness and disease. Healing is provided for in the atonement, and I believe it is God's will to heal those who are sick in the body. I give God glory for touching my daughter and breaking the fever that had stricken her for the past few days.
