Nothing is too great...


Meet our new friend, Ryan. What makes Ryan special is not the shirt that he is wearing, but it's what he is not wearing. Ryan came into camp wearing two sturdy knee braces to support his knees that he's been having some trouble with. Three weeks prior to this picture, he had surgery on one of them. He was able to walk and move, but with a pretty bad limp in his step. On the second day of camp, he completely blew out his left knee to the point where he wasn't able to walk on his own.

During that night's worship time, Josh went over and gathered around Ryan, with a few other people, and they layed hands on Ryan and prayed healing over his legs. They prayed that the Holy Spirit would come down and completely heal him.

Then, during the very next night's worship time, Ryan was praying with a few other people towards the end of the night. He got up and walked away when they were finished. About half way out of the room, he stopped, turned, and noticed that he was not limping a single bit. His knees were fine.

So the next morning, I walk in the room and see Ryan without any knee braces, without any limp. God had healed him. Let me tell you, it was so amazing to watch this unfold before our eyes.

Jesus said in John 14:12-14: "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
