Hospital patient's angiogram results after prayer
Isaac wrote about the man we visited and prayed for in the hospital. He had had a life threatening heart attack several days before we prayed for him. Already he had received authorization to travel to the the United States for any needed heart surgery and was making plans for travel. That was all BEFORE prayer.
After prayer, he said he felt some "tingling" going on in his heart area. We knew he was scheduled for an angiogram to determine the extent of the damage to his heart and the blockage in the wake of the heart attack. We knew however the angiogram would actually show us something else - it would show us how much healing the Holy Spirit had done when we prayed for him.
Tonight I went back to the hospital - he had had his angiogram earlier in the day. I asked him what they learned. He then began to explain that the angiogram actually found no damage and only a slight blockage in a minor arterie that would only require mild medication. Definitely not the results he or the doctor's were expecting after he nearly died several days earlier. He no longer needs to travel abroad for treatment. One trip got cancelled!
Will we ever be able to know for sure if the miraculous results were because of prayer? Probably not, since we didn't have an angiogram before and after prayer. Do we think the Holy Spirit came and touched his heart and effected healing and opened up blockage? Absolutely.
The great thing is that this man also has a serious skin condition that requires cortisone to treat it regularly - something that he is still planning on traveling abroad to get treated. We will pray for that next and watch yet another international trip for medical treatment gets cancelled as well!
