AND HE HEALED THEM.

The very last picture is of a kid named Julius. I met him at Sister Teddy's school. It is a boarding school (if you can call it that) run by a former nun. She used to only take in deaf, blind and crippled. Now she also takes in former LRA members who have escaped. She has about 120 kids, half are LRA and half are handicapped. We spent 4 days at Sister Teddys... the very first day I was drawn to Julius. He didn't socialize with the other kids or smile. He just sat in the corner with a sad look on his face. Julius is 14 and when he was 12 he had to witness his dad (who was going mentally crazy from AIDS) chop up his little brother with a machette and then turn on him. Someone intervened before Julius was killed. The brain damage left him deaf, mute and paralized on his entire left side. I knew from the moment I met him that the Lord would heal him: body and spirit.

The last day a few people in our group decided to lay hands on Julius and pray for him. We spent more than an hour just calling out to the Lord. I was literally sweating I was in such a spiritual battle for this child. I could feel the battle surging and must admit I was about to give up when.... I felt something. My hand was on his back and I began to feel the vibration in his voice. That's when one of our team who was on the front side of him cried out that he was talking, a few moments later we communicated with him and discovered he was hearing.... we knew there was only one thing left to do. Keep battling and wait for the Lord to heal his paralysis. So we began calling out to the Lord again and a few minutes later his body started to shake.... he started straightening his hand on his left side. I've never seen anyone healed in front of my eyes... I've heard of it, but never seen it. I had no idea what to do. So I just sat and stared as he marveled in his new healing. This teenager had been mute, deaf, and paralized for 2 years and now the Lord had intervened. HALLELUJAH!

This picture was taken after his healing...look at that smile. As we left the school compound for good we looked up to see Julius standing at the gate waving bye... he had the biggest smile and just as he was shutting the gate we saw him jog over and kick a soccer ball with the other boys. OH PRAISE HIM...

"Then the news about Him spread throughout Syria. So they brought to Him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics. AND HE HEALED THEM"
-Matthew 4:24
