In July of this year, my 3-year-old son slammed his bedroom door on my 9-month-old baby's hand, causing her index fingertip to fall off. It was cut all the way down to her top knuckle. She had surgery to have it sewn back on. At her first follow-up appointment, her finger was looking great and there was no infection. Quickly, the enemy stole our joy. Her fingertip blackened and began to smell horrible. The doctor told us her finger was dead.

"My faith was shaken, but I knew I couldn't let the devil win this battle. On August 17 I came to Rhema for my friend's baby dedication. It was back-to-school Sunday, and I had brought my daughter's bear from the hospital to be prayed over. The kids on stage prayed over the bear for my daughter's finger. I was so excited to get home and give her the bear. She slept with it and it went everywhere with us.

"The following Tuesday my daughter was crying. I thought she may have hurt her finger so I picked her up and took a glance at it through her Band-Aid. I was shocked because what had been black just a few days earlier was pink! When we took her Band-Aid off, there was a black fingertip inside which had fallen off. And she had a healed, fully-attached fingertip where she had once been missing one! Doctors may say that that's just what happens, but I know that what was dead was brought back to life by the miracle-working hand of my God! Thank you for prayers! He is faithful!"
