A TRUE STORY WITH NAMES CHANGED

Great grandmother, Mary held little 6 month old
Susan tenderly on her shoulder. Susan was very
listless with no appetite at all ; her skin was
developing a horrible rash with a yellow tinge;
having been in and out of the hospital Susan's
doctor's had given her little hope of surivial.

As she rocked the baby Mary recalled many
times when her Heavenly Father had been
there to hear her cry. Although the trials
had been deep, her faith had become very
strong. She knew what it was to lose her
own little ones from disease; to lose her
home through a fire; to go through many
hardships. Mary knew in her heart that
God had a plan for Susan. She called upon
the Lord in faith believing that God would
answer her prayer.

A few days later Susan was admitted to another
larger hospital in a city where a specialist was
available to care for her; however, after several
days the specialist also gave no hope for Susan's
recovery. One evening Susan's mother, Gloria
passed by a tent revival meeting as she was on
her way to the hospital. Gloria stayed and
listened; faith and hope rose in her heart as
she heard that the Lord Jesus is able to heal
today. She asked the evangelist to pray for
her little Susan.

When Gloria arrived at the hospital she was
greeted with the words , "Have you come to
see our miracle baby?" At the exact time
that the evangelist prayed for Susan, her
condition had changed. From then on she
was able to keep food down, her skin rash
disappeared and color was normal. She
began gaining weight. God had heard the
cry of great grandmother Mary and of Susan's
mother.

Susan grew to be a healthy young lady.
She would listen to her mother tell
about how God had healed her when
she was a baby. One day Susan
decided she would like to trust the
the Lord Jesus to be her Saviour.

Now Susan knows that she can pray with
faith for her children and grandchildren.
She knows that her God is the same God
of her mother, her grandmother and
her great grandmother. He is faithful
to every generation to those who call
upon His Name...His name is JESUS.

"When I call to remembrance the unfeigned
faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your
grandmother...and in your mother..and am
persuaded is also in you."
