On Friday, my sister was going to come home from hospital and then the paediatrician checked Angelina and said she had lost 10% of her body weight because she had not been eating - she hasn't taken to breastfeeding much. Anyway, Jules was very upset and emotional. Yesterday arvo, mum heard a voice say that my niece was going to die. I knew that wasn't God because God only gives good gifts and brings life, not death, and the Bible says that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).
It made me feel uneasy and so I rang up a fellow prayer warrior (Josie) and we prayed in agreement with eachother (Matthew 18:19-20) and declared God's words of life over my niece. We claimed God's promise of healing from Proverbs 4:22 and Psalm 107:2o and thanked God that He is Jehovah Rapha, our Healer, and that by His stripes on the cross some 2,000 years ago, Angelina was healed. Then i heard the Holy Spirit tell me to go and lay hands on Angelina and annoint her with oil. When i told Josie that, she said she heard that too and that she felt the Spirit say i was meant to annoint Angelina's mouth as well as her forehead (with a cross as i declared her annointed and appointed in the Name of the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit). She also told me to start praying in tongues.
After we got off the phone, i got in the car and started singing in tongues. Then i found myself singing very loudly "Angelina will not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord" [Psalm 118:17 modified]. I kept singing that over and over. When i got to the hospital, about 40 minutes later, i prayed over my beautiful niece and annointed her and all. About two hours later, i heard a familiar voice ask if i'd like a cup of tea and i turned around to see Hilda - a beautiful girl in 2nd year Bible college. We were both surprised to see eachother - it turns out that she works int he hospital Jules was in. Anyway, she came in and i showed her my niece and she said she had heard my testimony. She said to me, she felt the Holy Spirit tell her to say to me that the baby will not die but live. She thought it was a very unusual thing to say, but was just being obedient! I told her how the Spirit has said the exact same thing to me in the car! Amazing. It was so nice to get that confirmation.
Afterwards, Jules made the big decision to feed Angelina on formula milk, rather than breastfeed her and i think it was a good decision because Angelina drank about 70 mL straight away - a huge relief to all of us because she has had very little over the last few days and has had a bit of jaundice because of the lack of nutrition.
Agggh, what a day! I went home in peace, knowing my little angel will be restored to perfect health. The Lord spoke to me in February this year and said "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me" [Psalm 138:8]. I am so grateful I have Him in my life! Angelina is safe in His big hands. Praise God.
