Hij dreef de boze geesten uit met een enkel woord, en Hij genas allen die er slecht aan toe waren, zodat vervuld werd wat gesproken was door de profeet Jesaja toen hij zei: Hij heeft onze zwakheden op zich genomen en onze ziekten gedragen.
Mattheüs 8:16-17 |
19.00 uur = Bijbeltijd
Dat is het streven in elk geval. We gebruiken een rooster van
Kind op Maandag om onze bijbeltijd invulling te geven. We lezen een verhaal uit de Bijbel, praten erover, zoeken er een lied bij en bidden samen.
En nét nu waren de verhalen van genezing aan de beurt. Het kón gewoon niet mooier. Wat hébben we gebeden. En wat héeft Hij gehoord!
Onze vrienden uit Madrid, bij wie ons thuisonderwijsavontuur 2,5 jaar geleden begon en die een geweldige inspiratiebron voor ons gezin zijn, deelden onderstaand bericht. Neem alsjeblieft even de tijd om het te lezen en geniet! (Mocht je moeite hebben met het Engels, kopieer de tekst dan naar

Juan En Hannelie Escabias
Now that Han is at home I thought it helpful to summarise what happened over the last 3 weeks. At the beginning of this month Hannelie was hospitalised with a urinary tract infection. The oncologist saw that her hemoglobin levels were about half the minimum level, and based on his experience he gave her 2 weeks to a month to live. We were shattered by this news and I took a month off to be with her all the time. Over the next 2 weeks her condition gradually worsened. She became so weak that she could no longer walk and were delirious 90% of the time. It was apparent that the phases of death were running their course. Her one kidney started to fail as her urine had a very dark colour. The doctor explained that the brain was not getting sufficient oxygen, hence the delirium, and that was common in dying. Friday before last I rushed her to the hospital with another blockage of the intestine. When this happens the body ejects its waste via the only opening possible, upwards, if the normal downwards route is blocked. The same thing happened last year when the tumor grew so much that it obstructed the intestine. Her oncologist examened her and said that the end was immenent, his assistant confirmed that she would go the same or the following day. He also indicated towards Hannelie's very strong muscle twitches as that her brain was busy dying. That evening she reached a state where she was white as a sheet, ice cold and hardly breathing. I rushed the children to her bedside to see their mother maybe for the last time. Afterwards myself, Nito and Lili prayed earnestly for and over her and we trusted God to save her. More that 2 years ago when Hannelie 1st became diagnosed with cancer God said that he would do a miracle before the nations that would be for his glory. We pleaded with him to uphold his word. The next morning Hannelie was awake and amazingly she had a clear mind, for the 1st time in 2 weeks. She could not stop smiling and told us of the experiences she had with God. She also did not have anymore muscle twitches. The doctor on duty was astonished and at least recognised that they could not explained what happened. Since then Hannelie's morphine dosis has dropped from 1260mg per day to 480mg with no recurrence of the constant hip pain that she lived with for 1 year. She also used to take up to 6 fast acting morphine rescues per day, which she does not even need anymore. We are continuing to reduce her morphine intake daily to avoid strong withdrawel symptoms. She is still very thin with weak muscles, so still a long road to full recovery. O, I almost forgot, the blocked intestine sorted it out by itself, without any surgery or any other treatment. She is also free from the chronic diahrea that she made her life a living hell for one year (this is due to the radiation therapy). We are very happy to testify to this miracle which shows that God still heals today, and that even cancer, the dreaded disease of our time, is under his authority. May his name be glorified in the nations because of this. Thank you Lord that you uphold your word.
