Concert of Prayer

Many people are praying for our precious grandson Benjamin and I feel updates for those praying and for those who are passing this on to other prayer warriors are so important, so wanted to send this out to be passed on:

Tests run at Cincinnati Children's hospital showed that his heart is normal! Praise God, for they were looking for an enlarged heart with all the work the heart has had to do. And, his blood platelet levels have increased! At the time of the test, they were not yet normal but had increased. God is moving in his little body and we are so grateful for the concert of prayer of agreement with the Word of God that is going up for Ben and for his parents Sandi and Floyd bringing them before the very throne of our Father God.

The diagnosis is a kind of vascular tumor that is growing in the blood vessels of his right leg and into the muscle tissue. Because of its nature, it cannot be cut out, BUT....we know that Jesus bore this affliction in His Body on the Cross, so it has no right or place in Benjamin and by the authority He has given to us as believers in His Name, we come against this totally and command it to cease now. Also, "The word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Heb.4:12 How much more can our praying and speaking the Word of God over Benjamin, cut away any harmful cells from every tissue?!

I would like to say that I believe God has already done more in Ben's body than we realize: he had been lethargic and had a "sick" look in his eyes that was really hard to bear for a few days before we all began to pray. Today he is cute, smiling, trying to get to all his toys, bright-eyed. We can only say,"Thank you, Father for all you are doing--to You belongs the glory, and thank you to all the prayer warriors who have taken this lovely little boy to their hearts and to the Father in prayer."

Benjamin, it is a joy to take care of you every day and get to see this tumor getting smaller. We love you so very much, Mimi and Papa

PS You are very good and blowing raspberries now too--in fact you are one of the very best I know. Just please, if you could wait until you have eaten all of your rice cereal!
