Mercy and miracles

Posted on June 20, 2010 by Sean

Important update from David: Steve’s surgery is confirmed for tomorrow at 12:45pm to 5:45pm.

The staff was able to feed him today for the first time… all in an effort to nourish and strengthen his body for tomorrow’s surgery. As Miche has also explained, the staff want to conserve his strength for surgery, and so they have him in a deeper sedation, with the ventilator breathing for him.

And more encouraging news: today Steve had purposeful, strong movements and extensions of both wrists. This is very encouraging, yet still important at this stage to keep him calm and relaxed.

Many have suggested and ask that we all take time to fast and pray together during the surgery time. Please. The request goes out even as it is clear from the many messages that there will be people fasting and praying all over the world… for mercy and miracles.

    Yes, we will storm the gates of Heaven to beg our dear Father to heal our dear beloved Pastor and work on the hands and wisdom of the surgeons and the entire staff who will be participating in his surgery tomorrow. Thanks for the update; we’re anxious here, too. Love from Claire and Andrew Skeggs, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

    Even from the hospital bed, Pastor Steve ministers to us, giving an example of how to really say Hallelujah, anyhow, giving praise to Jesus who is always with us.

    I promise to pray for Pastor Steve, Michelle, his children, and extended family; for the medical staff attending to him; and following his lead, to continue to praise God.

    Dear Michelle,
    We used to attend Union church in the 90′s but have moved to China and Hong kong. Nevertheless, Pastor Steve delivered the message during my father’s wake on short notice which I will never forget. We are now attending the Island ECC in HOng kong. I have just learned about Pastor Steve’s accident and am storming heaven with our prayers for you and your family and Pastor Steve.

    We are now in New York and would like to call you to see if there’s anything that we can do to help. You may reach me throught my US number 917 8224524.

    God is in control,
    Daphne
