By His stripes…

My 6 yr old niece had a brain bleed at birth followed by a 12-day hospitalization, observations, and no complications for years.  She has recently experienced what our doctors and family are calling episodes where she becomes “non-responsive temporarily”, then snaps out of it and is fine.

It really matters what teaching you’re under…because in the past I would have simply cried in fear, but now we’re learning to speak the Word in the authority we’ve been given.  So, this time when I got the call I proclaimed victory in healing over my niece.

When I spoke with my mother, my niece’s grandmother, I told her I needed her to agree with me and speak the Word over her.  To simply keep saying “By Jesus stripes my niece is healed”.  She agreed to do it and then asked where she could find that verse in the Bible (I Peter 2:24).

I was so blown away, that my own mom was not aware of one of the most important verse in the Bible.  She was raised in a church and is still a regular member to this day, but yet when you’re not being taught how to use the authority given to you through God’s Word, you are defenseless.

I know God’s hand is moving in my whole family, as he’s turned even this trial into a chance to get closer to us.  By His stripes, my niece is healed!
