I have seen the Lord answer my prayers in some amazing ways. When lost in a storm in a plane with navigational aids not working, I prayed and then gave the pilot specific directions and we landed safely. While being caught in three tornados (one in Manhattan), we prayed that no one in our neighborhood would be harmed even though 50 out of 100 mobile homes were rolled or exploded and no one was harmed. I have seen people who were demonized and speaking a language they had never learned, but one I knew delivered. I have been in a car which was being washed down a river and then able to drive it out of the river. I have seen the sick and ones in pain healed after prayer.... My theological education began in a formal way at MBC/MCC under James Carr. When I shared with him what I had seen, his horizon was broadened. This week we prayed for a friend and her car. Tonight she reported an amazing answer to that prayer. I have seen Him do much more than I could imagine (Eph 3:20). Having supervised doctoral students from more than 80 countries and now seeing what they are doing is truly amazing, e.g., an Egyptian teaching in a Muslim university in Indonesia baptizing Muslims who fly to Indonesia from Saudi Arabia to be baptized, four or five generations of churches being planted in Ethiopia and Kenya where we saw God at work.... My faith journey has taken me through three state universities and two Christian institutions to study and then through other institutions to teach and administer. We often face difficult questions, but God is able to work now as we have faith in Him.Eddie Ellistonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508455865406661904noreply@blogger.com
