Mountain Mover

I was privileged to witness an amazing story yesterday. Stuart Bell was the guest speaker at KingsGate church. His wife and son were there too. Together they told to story of David, Stuart and Irene’s son. Of how he was diagnosed with cancer behind the eye at age 16 and how together as a family and a church, they fought and prayed through the chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to the point that they felt God say the chemo had worked and David was clear.

Sure enough, later that week, they got the all-clear.

Seeing David there, hearing his side of the story, seeing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ photo’s and knowing that in front of us was someone who medically speaking could be either dead or blind, was very moving.

As Stuart said on Sunday, we have a God who moves mountains.

‘If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’
Matthew 17:20
