Praise God, sso. I just talked to my friend Tony tonight. His father comes home from the hospital tomorrow -- all went well with his dad's surgery. Will be praying tonight for your sister's new babies and your Dad. May God bless you for believing that He would hear and help! Tippet

Dear sso: What God has spoken will stand. Who shall be foolish enough to question His Excellency !. Praise ye the Lord, Praise him in His sanctuary, Praise him on the harp, Praise in on the drum, Praise Him on the High sounding cymbal, Praise him on the low sounding cymbal, let everyone that hath breath Praise Ye The Lord

Praise God for the quints, and if it be his will, may they all grow strong and healthy! About a year ago, my pastor started out the service by announcing he was a bit tired, having been awakened at 4am by an urgent call from the hospital. The children's pastor had gone into premature labor and had a baby. She was so small the mother could hold her in the palm of her hand. Of course we all did a lot of praying for the baby. Today she's healthy and delightful, and you never saw prouder parents parading around with their only child. So premature children can cause a scary moment, but potentially a lot of great moments later on.

sso, I also had a friend which had an experience with a very premature baby and I hestitated to tell you about it, but I think maybe it would be good. My friend who was older in regards to the time folks usually think about having kids -- approaching 50. His wife is somewhat younger. My friend quit his job because he wanted to pursue a dream of developing a particular technology that he had envisioned. About 3 - 4 months after he had quit -- he found out that his wife was pregnant. She had a lot of trouble in the pregnancy. He called me one day to tell me that they had to deliver the baby very early -- he weighed 1 pound 12 oz. My friend was telling me about all the critical care that the child was receiving. I was ignorant of the situation -- with premies born that early. I thought to myself as he was describing this, "Oh, heartache upon heartache. A baby that small cannot survive." I just listened to my friend, dumbstruck, not able to offer him much encouragement while on the phone with him. Nonetheless, I began praying for their baby and asked others also to pray in my Bible group at church. Finally I called my friend back, someone who had always been uncomfortable with discussions of faith or spiritual issues, and I told him directly that I was and would continue to be praying to God for his child. My friend and his wife had a very rough nine months after the birth. They lived at the hospital and because of their diligence, I know that they saved the life of their son more than once. To make a long story short. His boy is a healthy little 3 year old boy today. He is a little smaller, but who can adequately describe the joy he has given his parents! Praise God who cares for all the little ones. My hope and earnest prayer for your sister's children is that they grow up healthy and strong. I also pray that your sister and her husband will be drawn together tightly in love, because this is probably going to be the hardest thing they've ever done. I also pray that the community in which they live will provide all the support they can. Please keep us posted, sso. What a special time. Please update us on your father's progress. My Dad had 5 bypasses 2 years ago. He is doing very well. He swims daily and takes more supplements than I can count, but something must be working for him. the friend that I told you about above -- he has had a real setback in commercializing his technology. He is trying to bring his computer skills up-to date in order to find employment locally. I know that his finances must be strained considerably. Will you pray for him? I'm hesistant to mention him by name here. Tippet

Dear SSO (should be S.O.S. under the circumstances) you seem to be under more trials than seem fair. The good thing is the flood hits at once and when the Christian triumphs victoriously, the devourer is rebuked, has no more power to destroy, and the canker worm and the palmer worm depart. Truly we are then released from the snare of the fowler. The snare is there. You can get trapped in it going to do an evil deed or on your way to bathe lepers. The snare is just set and we don't know why. I would pray to Heaven that the devourer be rebuked in your life and in the life of your relatives. I pray that the Perfect Will of God be done finally and immediately in your life and that all know this is the Will of God concerning you all, and that there will then be peace. Father God, may you shed peace and mercy upon this family. In Jesus Name, precious Father, we pray that the devourer be rebuked. By the Blood of Jesus. Depart from this family satan, minnions and agents of evil of any form. In Jesus Name. Amen.
