Prayer is where the action is!

I keep having these opportunities to pray with people in amazing ways.

We just had a group of pastors from around the world who work with the least, the less and the lost, come visit and we got to pray for them. One pastor, who works in Camden, NJ asked for prayer for his foot which was afflicted with gout. We prayed and he could move his toe without pain. Yes, Jesus!

Last week I listened to a man from Tijuana who had come up here to get away from his family who had deeply wronged him, and a pastor who had betrayed him. We have been talking about how the hardest thing Jesus calls us to do is to forgive those who have wronged us, and to bless our enemies, but that this is the way of Jesus. I asked his forgiveness on behalf of the pastor who had wronged him and he was deeply moved. He is not ready to forgive, but he knows that he is in his own prison until he does. Pray for him to have the grace he needs to forgive.
