Today’s Declaration
Have you ever had a huge revelation when looking back over the events and experiences in your life? This process makes the heart grateful and humbled. You realize that God’s hand was on you through the journey. I thought that a simple fracture in the T12 disc of my spine, like any broken bone, would heal and I would be fine. The aftershock of this injury actually increased my faith.
The injury happened on Sept 27th. Months prior, we had planned a memorable vacation for my husband and me to celebrate our milestone birthdays and wedding anniversary. It included a few ministry meetings and all the fun, but with a compromised back, would I be able to endure the 8-hour ride to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Then there was the 3-hour drive days later to Brentwood, Tennessee? Would I be able to endure the plane ride that followed to Orlando? What about the sightseeing and all the walking that would be involved? A vague thought crossed my mind about all these questions. I pushed them aside because cancelling this trip would mean losing deposits and all the investment in our trip.
Today, with God’s grace and strength, this is my personal declaration! I am a walking miracle! See, it wasn’t just a compression fracture on one disc. My entire tailbone and lumbar were, and still are, compressed to a degree. I have been dealing with that pain ever since. I feel my body healing as though what was done is being undone. Yet, I must continue to walk in faith for complete healing with no repercussions afterwards. I boogied gingerly through every sightseeing adventure during our trip and really only felt the effects a few times. As I reflect on our trip, I am amazed at God’s grace in sustaining me now that we have been home for a week since our trip! Now that I’m home, I see a new phase of healing, but it hasn’t come without realizing the pain. The pain is a sign, and when it comes, I turn my heart to the Lord, put my trust in him, and believe in receiving my healing.
I’m reflecting on how God sustained me during this trip. The time that lapses before total healing can undoubtedly test our hearts. Faith wavers, while doubts and questions are all a part of the journey. It also tests how much we really trust God. Is he walking with us through the journey? What should this teach us while we wrestle with faith and trust in him? If only I could see Jesus heal the blind man or make the lame man walk. But in John 20:29, Jesus said to Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
I declare, “I believe in Jesus and his resurrection power! I declare I am a walking miracle!
Comment below and share. What is your revelation of faith and declaration today, as you trust in him?

I am in awe of our healer Jehovah Rapha- the God that heals!
What a mighty God we serve.
Love your story…
My faith has increased when I was tested for liver functions- waited for over a month to get results, it’s hard not to have our minds wonder in the wrong direction- and when the follow-up appointment came, results were absolutely normal! Praise God, to Him be ALL the glory!

All the glory to our Father
My daughter turned 21 , 2 years ago.
And she loves pearls …. but also living so close to Father.
So for her 21st birthday we decided on a ring. We decided on a pearl, on the sides of the ring we engraved all around her finger the flower of the mustard seed plant. On the inside ,on the one side my husbands finger print and on the other side mine. With a very very small pearl on top.
On the 1st of June she were involved in a pedistrian accident
She were standing on the pavement when a drunk driver hit her with a bakkie , caused her to end 10meters away from where she were standing.
Long story short. We’ve stood next to her in the emergency unit while she were waiting to go for CT scans , her small little face and hand covered with blood. But so strong …. and suddenly she said “Mommy … I noticed while they strapped me in the ambulance my pearl is no longer on my ring. Only my ring is on my finger. Will you please phone my friend to have a look around if she can find it”
My heart broke for her. And my first words, listen to my own unbelieve “I will phone …. but it is so small ” and before I could finish my sentence her voice as calm as if she know “just phone she will find it”
Her friend said ” I promise I will look for it. But the fireman already washed all the blood from the pavement with white foam and water.But I will go ”
Within 10 minutes she send me a photo with the smallest little pearl on her hand and a message ” I’ve got it”
I showed to photo to my daughter ,still strapped, swollen, blood all over her face …. and she just smiled and said Thank you Jesus and closed her eyes
And ai realised ….. faith like a mustard seed came to pass
