Healing service

We brought Raphael to Citylight church tonight for a special healing service. The guest(?) preacher prayed especially for Raphael, and later the church pastor and a number of the congregation prayed around him.

A few people told us (and I believe also) that Raphael will be healed. The guest preacher prophesied that within three months he will receive miraculous healing and that the medical professionals will be surprised.

And just to let you know what was going though my own mind for Raphael, here was the list that I brought with me

• Nearly completely blind in left eye and other minor eye problems with both eyes
• Moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears
• Balance sensory organ completely malformed
• Uncoordinated swallow resulting in no weight gain without feeding tubes
• Vomits easily and is prone to pneumonia
• Breathing difficulty, especially when sleeping
• Heart defect

I certainly don't mean to limit the healing to this list. I will continue to pray for my boy; please pray for him also.

Prayer for healing

Today I invited someone into my home to pray for healing for Raphael.

I am a Christian and this is no the only time that I have prayed for Raphael. I pray for him at least every night, sometimes with my other kids and sometimes with my wife.

I know that God it able to heal Raphael. I wonder why he has not already done so. I wonder if Raphael can accomplish more of God's plan without the healing that I think he needs.
