Healed by the Great Physician

By Jeff Ohmer

     I was born on July 2^nd, 1991, and I had a hole between my trachea and esophagus. Obviously, that’s not normal, and my parents and the doctors were rather concerned about my life. As I stayed in the hospital those first nine days of my life, my parents placed my life in God’s hands, trusting that His will would be done. They prayed mightily for my life and asked God to spare it if there was a purpose for me here on earth. They also asked for the elders to come and administer to me on multiple occasions. When the doctors took me to surgery, they quickly realized that there was no hole and that somehow I had been healed! I know that I was healed for a reason.  I praise God for being the Great Physician and for that blessing in my life. I want to remind you that God has a plan for you in your life as well!

 

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; And the prayer of the faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” 

~ James 5:14-15
