As we drove to the hospital in the morning I asked him if he wanted to be the one to minister to Danny. He said, “No brother. I told you last night I don’t work in this gift. I’m assuming you do or the Lord wouldn’t have talked to you and told you to come and pray for him. I’m going to pass on this and watch you.”
So we got there. Neither one of us had ever met Danny’s wife. She was sitting there by herself. The children were not there. I knelt down and took her hand and told her who I was and introduced Pastor Lee to her. I said, “Would you mind if I lay my hand on him and pray for him? The Lord wants to bring your husband back from the dead. He is not going to die.” She asked, “How do you know that?” I said, “I can’t explain it to you in a way that would make sense to you but I “know that I know” the Lord spoke to me in our Wednesday night church service that He wants to bring him back to life.” She said, “Steve, he has had five strokes, he is brain dead. He can’t come back to life. For the last four days every doctor on this floor has been begging me to pull the plug. My children are furious at me. They want me to do it too.”
The Lord just gave me wisdom. I said to her, “How long has he been laying there?”
She said, “seven days.”
“You loved him enough to stay in that chair for seven days right?”
And I heard from the Lord, “Ask her if she loves him enough to give me four more days to heal him.”
I told her, “The Spirit of God just spoke to my spirit and said ‘do you love him enough to give him four more days, today being day one.’ The Lord says to tell you to give him four more days and you will have your husband back. You have sat here for seven days, is he worth four more days?" She said it was worth however many days it would take.
I said, “Let me do the believing and you just trust me that I am a man of God and I have heard from the Lord and put it all on me. I will take all the responsibility for the believing for it. If four days from now you pull the plug and he dies I will face you like a man and say ‘I must have missed it.’ Can we leave it at that and have that kind of arrangement?”
All of a sudden hope started to come into her and she said, “You really believe this don’t you?”
