Subject: Faith To Move Mountains!
After several beautiful years of marriage my wife and I received news from our Doctor that no married couple wants to hear. We were told that it would be a medical impossibility to have children! At first we were in tears about the situation. Once we made it through the initial shock, the tears were replaced with uncertainty and hopelessness. My wife and I met each other working with youth as Youth Pastors, and once we decided marriage was in our future, the thought of having our own kids was both exciting and expected. What our doctor (s) told us regarding our inability to have kids was not something we ever expected to hear. After the initial announcement accompanied by a multitude of emotions flooding our minds, we decided to do what we know best, take it to the great Physician. The bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It also tells us in Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him” These scriptures became fuel for our belief that God’s word is more powerful than man’s medical outcomes. Armed with this knowledge my wife and I decided to do the following: Pray every morning, holding hands and agreeing that God will bless us with three children. We called each of their names out in prayer everyday for two years-Darrell Jr. Sophia Olivia and Alexander Joshua. We also took hold of the scripture in Numbers 23:19,” God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” With this in mind, we were convinced that our firstborn would be our son Darrell Jr. Our faith was so strong that we proceeded to set up a baby room in our home-for a little boy. Some of our family members thought that we had lost our minds. We actually thought that this was a good sign we were doing the will of God☺ With room in place and faith abounding, we continued to pray for another year. Nothing was happening in the natural but we were convinced that that things were taking place in the spirit. Our faith was fully at work.
To make a long story short, today I am the proud father of four beautiful children, my oldest Darrell Jr, my second Sophia Olivia and my baby boy Alexander Joshua. God decided to throw a cherry on top and allowed us to recently adopt our youngest, 20 month old Abigail Jubilee. Brothers and sisters in Christ, this experience taught me that if we do it God’s way, our faith has the ability to move mountains. This spiritual truth pertains to all aspects of our Christian experience be it parenting, business and industry, ministry and any other call God has on our lives. I pray the testimony of our family’s greatest miracle to date can encourage you to believe that through Christ, all things are possible.
