How deep does your faith in the Lord go?
24]Jesus went with him, and the crowd thronged behind.
25] And there was a woman in the crowd who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years.
26] She had suffered a great deal from many doctors through the years and had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she was worse.
27] She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched the fringe of his robe.
28] For she thought to herself, "If I can just touch his clothing, I will be healed."
29] Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel that she had been healed!
30]Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31] His disciples said to him, "All this crowd is pressing around you. How can you ask, 'Who touched me?' "
32] but he kept on looking around to see who had done it.
33] Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and told him what she had done.
34] And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. You have been healed."
I can't help but find this story absolutly amazing. There are many more about faith, but for me with the knowlege I have right now... nothing says it better.

It's good, isn't it?
A friend of mine was visiting a church, and saw a homeless lady sitting on the front row of that church. She looked entirely out of place. But the invitation came, and the pastor said, "If God has told you to come down here and heal, then come." The woman gets up and goes to the altar, ready to give healing. She had specifically been praying, before even entering the church, for a girl with a red jacket, and what do ya know. A girl with a red jacket comes down and takes her 3 inches of a birth defected arm out. Her arm was just a little nub. With tears pouring from her face she says, "I want an arm, I'm tired of all the kids at school and everyone making fun of me." Well, the homeless lady told the girl to put her arm in her jacket and pull it back out. When the girl did this, she pulled out a full normal arm. Absolutely incriedible, and after the service, a man came to the homeless lady and said, "You are no longer homeless. You will get whatever it is you need."
I love it when things like this happen, and I plan to be part of it.

To be honest, that can very easily be a "see it to believe it" kind of happenstance. However, I have the slightest inkling of the Lord's power and Grace, and I truly believe that can happen. The Lord is incredible.
I too wish to be a part of this. Lord willing, I will have the opportunity to so give glory to the Lord's name in such a fashion.

Acts 14:8-10
8 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped and walked.
NKJV
I believe that one day I will get the opportunity to do this very thing. Paul saw, or more properly, knew something that cannot be seen with the eyes.

Step on out there repoland. You'll see it. God is looking for people with this kind of heart and the audacity to believe Him. I pray that God will lead you into such a walk as you desire. May the Spirit manifest Himself in you in the name of Yeshua, the Savior.

Repo, you may very well be amazed at what the Lord does through you during your deployment. Having numerous friends and Army buddies deployed, I've heard some incredible tales.
Still praying for you my friend :)
