WET AND WILD FAITH IN ACTION!

On March 13, 2007 I took my daughters, Skyla (12 years old) and Kyra (8 years old), to Wet and Wild Water Park in Orlando, Florida. 

We used a foam mat that looked kind of like a toboggan to go down the first slide.  The mat had handles in the front, where it curved up.  Skyla was ahead of Kyra and I in line.  I noticed that when she first started down the slide she was on her knees.  The sign at the top of the slide said to go down on your stomach. 

I asked one of the workers if it was okay if I went down on my knees.  He said, “No, everyone has to go down on the stomach.”

After we all got to the bottom and got out of the water, Sklya said, “Mom, something happened to my leg on that slide.  I can’t walk.”  I didn’t know if she had pulled a muscle or what had happened. 

I said, “Well let’s pray and believe for God to heal it.”  So I immediately started praying.

When I finished praying Skyla said, “It still hurts.  I still can’t walk on it.”

I said, “Please don’t say those kinds of things.”  (Skyla is very knowledgeable about the principles behind Mark 11:24, and the forces that will put your words into action, both good and bad). 

She replied, “You and Kyra go on a couple of rides and I’ll wait here. “ 

I answered, “No – you’re not going to wait here.”

She said, “It still hurts.”

Finally I said, “You either get up and start walking on that leg, believing by faith that God healed you, or we are leaving the park now.”

Well, she didn’t want to leave the park because we had just gotten there, so she got up and started walking to the next slide. 

About 10 minutes later she said to me, “The pain is all gone!”

Praise God!  To Him be all the glory!

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.  Mark 11:24 (NKJV)

Dear Reader - are you at peace with God?  If not, you can be.  Do you know what awaits you when you die?  You can have the assurance from the Holy Spirit that heaven will be your home, if you would like to be certain.  Either Jesus Christ died for yours sins, or He didn't (He did!).  Are you prepared to stand before God on the Judgment Day and tell Him that you didn't need the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross to cover your sins?  We plead with you ... please don't make such a tragic mistake.

To be at peace with God; to make certain heaven will be your home for eternity; to make certain that you are in right-standing with God right now ... please click here to help understand the importance of being reconciled to God.  What you do about being reconciled to God will determine where you will spend eternity, precious one.  Your decision to be reconciled to God is the most important decision you'll ever make in this life.
