Every Thursday we have a teaching and then ATL (Ask The Lord). This is when we go out into different towns and ask God where he wants to lead us or just to show us something for that day. On the way to San Lorenzo, where our ministry is, I started praying for the Lord to show me something for that day and I got the word “green.” I was looking outside at the time that I prayed and it was all green so I told myself that it was just my thought and not from God. I prayed again and got the same word so I trusted that it was from Him.
When we got to San Lorenzo we prayed again and went on our way looking out for the things that the Lord placed on our hearts. As we were walking I noticed a lot of green houses and started to get a little doubtful because green was literally everywhere. We passed this one green house and I felt a heaviness on my heart. I had been having this feeling all day when the Lord was trying to tell me something. I didn’t say anything to the team but couldn’t shake the feeling so we turned back around and knocked on the door.
A young lady named Nancy answered. She was eight months pregnant with a little boy and welcomed us into her house to pray for her. I asked her if she needed prayer for anything. She told us that the last time she was pregnant she lost the baby. I laid my hand on her stomach and prayed for the health of her baby and for Nancy. As I was praying and declaring that this baby would bring so much joy I felt the baby kick on my hand. I didn’t know until after that the baby’s name was Isaac. After we prayed, Caleb mentioned to her the story of Abraham and how God promised him a son and his name was Isaac. Then Rissa on my team told her that Isaac means “he laughs.” None of this was a coincidence.
I left her house so excited for the new life coming into the family. I left her house with so much joy. We are bringing Nancy a Bible and baby clothes on Monday.
I believe this baby is a miracle from God. I also believe that this is just another example of Gods love for us and a reminder of how much he cares for us. Sometimes there’s hurt and pain, but joy comes in the morning.
