I have a cool testimony from about three weeks ago. I was the pastor-on-call within our church. That means if there is an incident or a need in the community, we go out and serve or pray or whatever is needed. We had an incident: a baby was born prematurely and was having lung issues. Thereâs this condition with underdeveloped lungs sometimes, where there is this air bubble that grows alongside the lungs, and if that pops, the child will likely die. So this kid is in trouble ⊠intensive care, lots of tubes.
I went in and talked to the family. They werenât members of our church; the mother didnât really attend anywhere, but they had been referred to us by someone in our church. So I go into her room, and Iâm praying for the mom and she was all torn up. I went and saw the baby in the NICU. I couldnât touch the baby, of course, but I put my hand over the glass and just started praying bold prayers like, âJesus, youâve beaten death. For you, this isnât that hard for you to heal.â The baby started moving around (he had been asleep before I started praying).[bctt tweet=”I put my hand over the glass and prayed bold prayers & the baby started moving. – Daniel Putman” quote=”I put my hand over the glass and just started praying bold prayers like, âJesus, youâve beaten death.

On all the future X-rays and exams, they couldnât find the bubble. Three days later, the kid was going home.
