MR. GORDON

Often times in our final Sunday Service, the Holy Spirit will move in a way that He didn’t move during the other three services. We had such a time on yesterday. The Special Music Team had just sung “You’ve Been So Faithful”, and with that, they ushered in another level of anointing. We then transitioned to “I Will Trust In The Lord”. At that time, my husband (Pastor Henderson) exhorted the congregation and shared that there was a burden amongst people who wanted to give up. It seemed as though, as soon as he did an altar call, rows of people were spread across the front of the altar.

In the midst of the crowd was a man coming forward, who was escorted by a woman. It was difficult to detect his age. He had a patch over one eye, his face was swollen, and he was slowly walking with a cane. I would suspect that he was highly medicated. His name was Mr. Gordon. I don’t know him personally, but I do know that he is a member of our church, and I recall seeing him pretty regularly at one time.

Mr. Gordon has cancer. He was brought to church by his sister. Hospice has been called in and they have given him a short time to live. I’m writing this because I was compelled to share his situation while lying in bed last night. In the midst of his pain, and in the midst of his prognosis, he found his way, ever so surely, to the front of the altar. As he did that, I was reminded of the woman with an issue of blood who determined that if she could just “touch the hem” of the garment of Jesus, she knew that she would be made whole. (See Matthew 9:20-22)

Mr. Gordon has something that many of us fail to activate during the crucibles of our lives: FAITH! I saw his faith activated as he took those short, meaningful steps towards the altar. He might have been exercising “mustard seed” faith at that time, but the word of God says that even that will move mountains. (See Matthew 17:20)

So why am I writing this? I’m writing this because Mr. Gordon needs a miracle! And Matthew 18:19 states, “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven”. So I’m asking those who know the power of prayer, to agree with me for Mr. Gordon’s miracle! God is still in the miracle-working business! Believe with me for his caretakers! Believe with me that none of them will give up! Believe with me for total healing!

I don’t know what God’s purpose is for Mr. Gordon. I do know that Hezekiah was mortally ill, and he was told by the Prophet Isaiah that he was going to die. The Bible states that Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord. And the Lord heard his prayer and saw his tears. And He told the Prophet Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that He was going to heal him and add 15 years to his life. (See 2 Kings 20:1-6)

My prayer is that God’s will be done! In the meantime, let’s add our faith to Mr. Gordon’s faith, and believe God for the supernatural. We never know when we’ll need someone to pray for us! Minister T
