Newly Created Bone

A mother asked for prayer before her adult daughter's ear surgery. "The doctor says her ear bone has disintegrated."

As I prayed, I heard the Holy Spirit. I did not hear an audible voice, but having spent years listening for the Holy Spirit I know when God speaks. I spoke in obedience to what I understood with my spiritual ear. "When they operate, they'll find a bone. God creates ear bones. She will have an ear bone."

I don't speak casually about healing. Our healing cost Jesus His blood.

Weeks later the mother said her daughter's, "…surgery went well. We'll find out how she's doing when the gauze is gone….Oh and by the way, she had an ear bone. The doctor said it was just under a lot of gunk."

"Wait a minute," I replied. "The doctor said she had no ear bone. The doctor said the ear bone had disintegrated. He didn't say maybe we'll find one when we get in there. He gave no possibility at all. And now the doctor says she has an ear bone? We have to give God the glory He deserves!" However, I didn't want to be premature, so I did some investigating before posting the news.

I checked with two doctor friends. Both said the same thing. "If she had an MRI, they'd see it if it was there. MRIs show bones whether they are under gunk or not."

Phoning the mother I asked, "Did she have an MRI before surgery?"

"Yes, it was after the MRI that the doctor said she had no bone." But the mother went on to tell me something else. She said her daughter joined her in a prayer of committal to Jesus Christ. In the month since the surgery her daughter "…has more peace. She's changed." Jesus Christ makes all things new!
