Tom's Testimony

In the late spring of 2009 God Called me to ministry. We prayed, sought counsel and were eventually led to apply to seminary in Johnson City, Tennessee. About the time we decided to begin the application process we began to be attacked.
                God called us to have a second child and in obedience we tried to conceive. As with the first, we became pregnant right away. Tragically, that Pregnancy was stolen from us and what seemed like perfect timing dissolved from the picture. Nonetheless, we tried again and became pregnant immediately. Six weeks into the third pregnancy we had an ultrasound and found a healthy child growing within my wife’s womb.  We were overjoyed to see the heartbeat and felt as though everything was alright.
                A week later the wave of spiritual attacks became stronger still and we would awake in the night to our toddler crying about “black things” she saw in her room. My wife began to spot. Three days later the spotting turned red and just like with the miscarriage, she lost pregnancy symptoms. We both feared the worst. In the early stages, when I prayed I simply asked for God’s Will and that my wife would have peace and comfort during what was about to take place.
                After about the 5th or 6th day when we found blood we decided that we would join God in his desire for life. We drove to a prayer meeting across town knowing that it wasn’t an open “healing prayer time”. I felt like the men who lowered their friend through the roof as I asked if we could interrupt for some emergency prayer. We were happily greeted and the prayer team was more than happy to pray. They prayed, they battled and they stood the gap for my family. The bleeding slowed that night and stopped the next morning.
                As my two year old daughter rose from her nap the following day she looked up at me in a daze and simply said: “its Okay daddy, the baby is Okay.” And it is. Today we saw the heartbeat again and we are certain that the Lord used our toddler to deliver a prophetic word of comfort. We, with our many prayer partners, will contend for life. This is always God’s desire.
