Yesterday while at work I got a call from a friend telling me that an employee of a friend of ours was just in an accident at work and was rushed to the emergency room. While installing an awning, a man was knocked from his ladder when a clip gave way. To make matters worse the awning then fell on him breaking his collar bone and shoulder. One of his fellow workers saw what happened and called 911.
One the way to the emergency room the EMT's told him that his collar bone was broken as well as his shoulder but that it was probably worse than what they could see.
I got the call after he arrived at the ER and headed in that direction. When I got to the emergency room others had already arrived ahead of me and went in to see the injured man. We were not there to give our sympathy or to console anyone, we were there to make sure that the Kingdom of Heaven took control of this situation. Most people bring cards and flowers we brought Jesus. After we prayed I went right back to work. I was there less than 10 minutes total. No lengthy prayers begging God to intervene. No screaming in tongues for hours. I just commanded healing and the kingdom of heaven over this man in Jesus name and said "have a better day."
Later I got a text message saying that the doctor had earlier confirmed that he did have broken bones but after we prayed he was sent to have x-rays done and no broken bones were found.
The Doctor was astounded. "They were definitely broken." This wasn't a mistake, he was certain and could feel the break. Jesus fused together once broken bones in a matter of minutes...
Jesus is King and His Kingdom is on the Earth!
And if I didn't step on enough toes already with the flower and card bit... For us this has become a normal day.
Mar 1:14b-15 Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
Later that afternoon we went and ministered to the homeless and drug addicts in downtown Atlanta.... That story next.

6 "Baby Raised from the Dead"
I had to share this one with you. This is a recent testimony of one of the mommies from our church.
Jesus is King, even over Death!!!
****************************************************************************
My brother had called me a few weeks before his wife was supposed to deliver their baby girl and asked me if I could be in the delivery room with him because he did not know that he could do it alone. My brother is an unbeliever and so I was excited about this opportunity because I knew I would get to pray while I was there. He told me that he wanted me to come because he thought I would be the least religious one in the family and he knew that I would not "do anything weird" while I was there. 0I told him he was wrong that I would pray, and he said, "OK" as long as you do it quietly."I got the call on June 10, 2005, my brother was calling to tell me to come to the hospital we were going to be having a baby here in a while! I arrived at the hospital and my sister-in- law began to push and the nurse told her that she would call for the doctor to come in as soon as the baby had crowned. The baby started to crown and the nurse called for the doctor. She got a call back that the doctor was in a surgery and that she would not be able to be there yet. The nurse seemed a little scared and began to tell us that she had never delivered a baby herself only assisted in the pushing. The baby's head came out and the nurse said to my sister in law, "You are going to have to stop pushing because the cord is wrapped around this babies neck."
The nurse looked at me and my brother and me and told us that the baby was dead. The nurse went to put her finger under the cord so that she could cut it and could not even get her finger under there it was wrapped around twice and very tight. The nurse got some clamps and began to try to cut the cord. She finally was able to cut it off and she pulled the baby out. The baby was completely purple and gray and totally lifeless. The nurse again turned to me and my brother and said she is not alive, she pronounced her Dead on arrival. All during this I was praying. The nurse took the baby over to a table in the room and hooked her up to some oxygen and began to try to revive her, but then she looked again to us and said, "It's no use, she is gone. She is dead."
I walked over behind this table and I reached my finger in and touched the baby. I said, "In Jesus Name, I speak life to you, you will live in Jesus name." Immediately she jerked her head back and looked over at me and smiled. My brother, the nurses and the doctors who had come in said "What did you just do?" I said, "I just prayed." They all stood there in complete shock and saying, "She was dead, she was not alive, she was not breathing." I said, "I know but Jesus brought her back to life."
My brother was in tears and did not know what to do or say. This has opened a huge door for me to witness to my brother, he has called wanting to talk about what happened and he has all kinds of questions for me. God is awesome. I knew that something was going to happen that day and that I would have an amazing opportunity to witness to them.Rebekah Engels
