Samantha and Nico are 2 children we have seen incredible improvement with under our health restoration program. They too attended Jenn’s birthday celebration together with their mother Lisa, sister and grandmother. As we sat down to catch up, Jenn and I were moved by the testimony Lisa shared of God’s goodness over their family. It is such a joy to witness how God’s Word beautifully works it’s way into the broken parts of peoples’ lives and brings transformation!
I remember the concerns and prayers expressed during our first couple of months visiting this family to deliver healthy food for Nico and Samantha. They were facing immense struggles. Week after week our team would visit the home to minister God’s love and share God’s Word. Often we would leave feeling a little disheartened because the problems continued and at times escalated. There was even some unspoken resistance towards us despite our heartfelt intentions.
On the surface it seemed as though our efforts were in vain and our words were falling on deaf ears. Little did we grasp how God’s Word was at work in Lisa’s heart the first day we spoke it. Her countenance started to change over the course of a couple of visits. Then on the following week, Lisa started asking questions and longed for us to share more of Gods Word.
The more she received in faith the truth of God’s Word, life and blessing started to manifest in the physical. It was so beautiful to witness God miraculously turn someones mourning to dancing!!! God gave Lisa the eyes to see and ears to hear Him in the midst of the storm that raged around her family.
The Word spoken and lived out always accomplishes what God purposes. Isaiah 55 reveals a truth that brings clarity in regards to the power and way of God’s Word. It is a urgent reminder that God’s Word never goes out in vain nor does it ever return empty. His living Word always fulfills what it was sent out to achieve.
Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” Amen!!!
As we align our hearts with this truth we can pray with expectancy into areas God’s Word is sown. As we obediently prioritize to share truth in Word and deed with other, we can anticipate having many similar transformation testimonies like Lisa’s 🙂
Galatians 6:9 provides another great encouragement when for long 
periods of time we do not see fruit from our obedience. We are reminded to “…not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not become weary”
Thankfully Nico and Samantha’s health is being restored day by day. They are near reaching goals we set for them under our health restoration program. During our chat we heard how Nico as young as he is, loves to tell others how God is changing his health and family. God is using Nico’s little life to also speak of God’s displayed truth. It must so please God to accomplish His purpose through what the world may consider weak and foolish (1 Corinthians 1:27)
To Lisa’s delight her 9 year old daughter Samantha spoke her first word (Mama) not too long ago when our team brought the family to the beach. Samantha was beaming as she put her feet in the sand for the first time! Each week she is able to speak a little more each time. Glory and praise to the Lord alone!
