If at first you do not succeed... keep going

It seems that most places I go I hear stories or witness myself the miracle of legs growing out. I have seen much breakthrough with this condition over the years. Usually if one leg is shorter than another it is only by a centimeter or so, but it can cause a serious amount of pain in the back, as well as have negative impact on other parts of the body. Yesterday a man from the Philippines came over to dinner where I am staying and he had one leg that was literally TWO INCHES shorter than the other one. It was so bad in fact that when he sat down you could see one knee significantly lower than the other. After dinner we asked if we could pray for his leg to grow out. He agreed, and we prayed and commanded the leg to grow for about 30 minutes. Nothing happened. No growth, no nothing. We all had faith, including the man with the short leg, but still saw no breakthrough.

Much of what is written on this blog are the victories that we have seen when praying for the sick or the afflicted. These victories only come about after having prayed for many other people and seen no breakthrough. We don't understand why this is, but we know that we serve a God who is good and whose will is for all to be healed. The key is to not give up, but keep praying and pressing in even when we encounter times when the breakthrough is not immediate.
