About a week after our meeting on the street I received a
call from P. Johnson, the wife of man I’d spoke with the week before. It was
late in the evening and she was frantic because her son H. Johnson, Jr. had
fallen and hit is head very hard. Her son was in the hospital unconscious. She
requested me to offer up prayers on behalf of her only child. I told her of
course and immediately I started to pray for her son after we had hung up from
our conversation. I do no recall the exact prayer but the ending of the prayer
I remember distinctly. I said, “My
daughter’s name, I know that you are here with me but H. Jr. is in the
hospital and I need for you to go to him.” For within my spirit I knew that our
connection was eternal and will last until I meet her again, when she greets me
in spirit, when I’ve made my transition.
The next day the missis called me with wonderful news. Her
son was doing well and was conscious. We praised the Lord and then I told her
about my prayer. She then told me something that confirmed that bond beyond. The
missis told me that after she talked with me she had gone home to get a little
rest and her very good friend stayed at the hospital with her son. When she returned
later her friend told her that after she’d left she saw an angel descend on her
son covering his body. We rejoiced in the Lord for no one, not anyone else,
could have answered our prayer to spare her son’s then 4 year old life but our
mighty Father God. This confirmed to me that although my baby is physically
absent her spirit lives along with me as a….bond beyond… Hallelujah! “For though I am absent from you in body,
I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and
how firm your faith in Christ is.” Colossians
2:5 NIV
