Just at the top of the hill, at exit 178, South east corner, on Interstate 45 in Buffalo, Texas is a Very Large Angel and has been seen for many, many decades. Buffalo, Texas is a good candidate for the much discussed 'Heart of Texas'. This is just about exactly between the two largest cities of Dallas and Houston.
A long time resident of Buffalo told me this miracle is well known. The homeowner was a man in his early 70's. He was a Veteran and had cancer. The cancer had been fought as the good fight for a number of years. The finality of life was drawing in. The man told his friends in Church and the community he'd had a long, good life and a loving wife, this was ok. All of his family was very grieved, it was now the final week, or, at best, final two weeks. His old, frail body had worn out.
On a Tuesday night, the man turned in to sleep and wondered if this was 'the night'. And had a very vivid, vivid Dream. An Extremely Large and Powerful Angel appeared. "Fear Not!" The Angel told this frail and dying man. The prayers of his wife, family, Church, friends and Community had touched God's Heart. The Lord God's Plan was to bring Home this beloved man and God's Plan was, the Angel assured the man, A Good Plan. And then the Heart of God responded to the Love given for this man in prayers. The Angel said that as of this moment - all cancer has left your body and you will live for decades to being remarkable of age. A long, good life continued. The Angel assured him his life would be tremendous and unto Heaven.
The next morning, the frail man ate breakfast and told his astonished wife. She asked him if he felt better. He thought about it some more. Maybe. The man decided to visit his large yard with big shade trees and spend some time outside thinking about this. The morning was cool with a breeze and he noticed many sticks fallen from the trees. He wondered why the mower didn't get the sticks picked up. In fact, there were a lot of sticks. The man gathered the sticks, only a few. And as he gathered the sticks, he felt enough energy to enjoy the breeze and pick up more sticks. And more. At lunch his wife was amazed he had done this. He ate without being urged. And took a nap.
That evening, his wife asked him if there was something to the Dream. He wasn't entirely sure, but the day had been Good. The sun was coming from the trees, the breeze was good.
And the next few days repeated this Good Day. And another Good Day. And another. In fact, the week was Good.
The next week, the man had a repeat appointment with his doctor. The doctor heard the Dream from the man and his wife. The doctor heard about the Good Week. Blood tests were run. Not surprisingly, the man was found, in the next few weeks, to be without cancer. And the man and his wife tried to decide what to do to tell the Miracle. After a lot of thought, they decided to go with the exact representation God had Sent.
The man did live to be Very Old.
John 3:8
The wind blows where it wishes,
and you hear its sound,
you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
"Those Prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling."
"We can pray, sure, but God will decide." (Are you frowning or smiling?)
"God will do what God will do." (Ditto!!!)
The Book of Life would know. (Right!!!)
What would Jesus say to us having trepidation to pray the Large Prayers? When we feel the Large Prayers are Critical and wobbly?
Luke 11:8
I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship,
yet because of the man's persistence,
he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
There is an Amazing Word from God saying the 12 Gates of Heaven are always open.
And yet God has given us something Astonishing. We could call this The Nag Policy or we could call this The Complaint Policy.
God Himself tells us He will move and dwell and Have His Being with us. How familiar is this?
Hebrews 3:6
Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house.
And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
Aaron was invited in to the Holy of Holies. God knew Aaron was coming in to spread the sacrifice of Blood. And make a mess. This is a strong visual. God has said His Words - "Friend", "Boldly and with Confidence". Telling us to Pray with Hope. Let's never, never, never, never, never, never Forget - "Fear Not." And let's never, never, never, never, never forget "Yar." Yar the Reverence of God. The Awe of His Being. The Beauty of God's Sacrifice. The Enduring Strength of His Love.
We will NOT be impertinent to The Shepherd of Our Souls. God has given a fine example in Zechariah, Luke 1. We will take hold of God's Sanctuary with relief and love.
Abba, Father,
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
O LORD, You have searched Hearts and know Hearts.
We Pray The Word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.
In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
