Two Hands by Elaine Davenport (Monday, May 28, 2007)

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.    MARK 16
The Bible says that believers shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

REMEMBER THAT.  IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

A few years ago, a friend and I went to visit the Lakewood church in Texas.  I had never ventured out like that and I don’t think my goods friend had either, but we just seemed to be drawn there, so we made our reservations.

Everything began to go wrong from the moment we arrived.  It was the enemy for certain, but when you’re visting in a strange town and you don’t know anyone at all. you need to know God because He really cares.  The first thing that went wrong was with the taxi cab.   At the airport, we had to negotiate fares and no one was cheap.  At the last minute we realized our funds were really too low to go.  We had made a mistake booking the flight on Cheap Tickets and they had a rule that basically says, we don’t care, but that’s okay.  I forgave them and we just decided to make our trip longer.  It turned into a Blessing.  The driver we did get told us the church was far far away from our hotel.  He said he would give us a special discount.  We felt Blessed, we thought.

We arrived at our hotel and we decided to spend time praying.  We didn’t have sight seeing monies from our vantage point.  We did a lot of praying in the spirit.  As soon as we left the hotel room, an amazing thing happened.  We met in the gardens a young minister from Tanzania!  He was going to the Lakewood church and offered us a ride!  We ended up going to several services which were wonderful and we met Pastor Joel Osteen.  He was wonderful!    Many people seemed shocked that we came from Michigan.

We also met Brother Daniel Morales, who drove us all around town and we all hung out at church.  It was Blessed.  The time flew by.  The day before we left, we all  went to the largest Chinese Buffet and the nicest that I had ever seen!  Later that night, I got so sick!  I didn’t know what to do.  My friend was snoring and I was too sick to move with no transportation.  I tried to figure out where the hospital might be and then I remembered my two hands.  I remembered that I am a faith person and who my Father is.  I was aso sick.  So, I began to lay hands on myself and pray over myself.

I fell asleep.  I had to trust God and I remembered the scripture:

“Healing is the children’s bread.”

“I qualify”  were the last words that I said.

The next morning  when I awoke, it was as if nothing had ever happen.  This has happened to me many times

Remember this always.
