I want to share with you a “power of prayer” story. On August third this past year my wife (Robin) suffered a brain aneurysm, and while in the ER she fell into a coma and was flown by helicopter 62 miles away.
Driving there I received a phone call that said, “We are in a fatal situation and we are doing everything we can to keep your wife alive on the operating room table.”
I still had about a 45-minute drive, and something or should I say someone (Holy Spirit) rose up on the inside of me and this authority came over me and I said out loud, “In the name of Jesus I command the spirit of death to leave that operating room now.”
Through prayer and the grace of God my wife survived. The surgeon said they go by a severity chart of 1-5 with 5 being the most severe. He said, “Your wife was at the top of a 5.”
The next day one of the team members came in and said, “That lady should not be lying there; it was that bad. It truly is a miracle.”
She spent the next 42 days in hospitals, 23 in ICU on and off life support in and out of comas. I did not sit at my wife’s bedside begging, pleading and making deals with God. I sat as a son co-laboring, partnering with my Father calling those things that be not as if they are.
I watched with my own eyes my wife go from death to life. I saw miracle after miracle take place in her body. I watched so many “God moments.” The peace of God was with her throughout her journey.
November seventh she went back to work part-time. She even drove herself and on December first she went back full-time. I am so proud of my wife. She never belly-ached, never said, “Woe is me! Why did God allow this to happen to me?”
Her faith grew stronger and became more resolved. Not only is she my wife and companion but she is my best friend and I am honored to be her husband.
So we know the power of prayer. Thank you for reading this testimony; may it encourage and lift you and stir your faith to believe in supernatural interventions of God.
