My daughter has come down with a skin virus related to chicken pox. Itchy warts spread all over the place when they're touched… just like chicken pox (except this virus can live on any surface for 48 hours). It’s called Molluscum Contagiosum (sounds like a Harry Potter spell to me). According to dermatologists, there's no cure. The outbreak can last a couple of months to a couple of years. So wait… my beautiful little girl could have warts and open soars on her face for 2 years and there is no cure??? That's their story and they’re sticking to it.
While praying over our daughter one night, I got the sense from Spirit this was about obedience and not about a virus. Since then we noticed the bumps have spread to Nathan (our 1 year old). He had a festering sore on his back at his neckline. After praying over Nathan as well, we decided to put band-aids on the bumps in an effort to minimize the spread. Later, looking Nathan over (to find the bump so I could band-aid it), I couldn’t find anything! No bump… no wart… no swelling… no hole or scratch marks. Just clean and pure baby skin!
When Nathan ran off to play, Kayleigh exclaimed, “No fair… why did God heal Nathan and not me?”
Two things… I love that she recognized this as God’s work. Second, in the days to come we can work on obedience in full knowledge of a God that reflects Psalm 103:3 who forgives all your sins and heals ALL your diseases. That day is coming!
