This is a testimony to how social media has and is uniting the praying church all over the World. The wisdom of the Lord concerning this goes truly beyond anything we can ask or think. I want to break it down for you so you can join me in praising God in this. My 2 ½ year old granddaughter Sophia has been in the hospital for over 125 days and as I write this she has been in intensive care for over 2 weeks.She has been the been one of the beneficiaries of this grace.I too join Tim in giving God glory for how the Lord has knit the praying church together since Facebook and Twitter came out.
I want to give you the chronology of the events yesterday from just my side. There is no way we will ever know all the Lord did but if you multiply my efforts by a hundred thousand in less than 5 minutes you might come close to the power right now in the hands of the praying church.
Chronology of a Miracle as a Response to Prayer

1. This Email is received in one of my email instantly on my Blackberry smart phone.
Please pray for one of my granddaughter's friends who fell in a maneuver at cheer leading camp. She hit her head and went into a seizure and was care flighted out just hours ago, her name is Ashley, thanks, Tim
2. Within seconds I responded: Praying! and begin to pray
3. Within 2 minutes I posted on the JaxChristian.com Prayer Center as urgent request
4. Instantly the prayer request was sent to over 20 intercessesors in NE Florida
I have no idea how many people Tim has in his circle or who he sent his urgent email to. I understand I am not your normal person but I give you this info giving God all the Glory. I have over 4 thousand email contacts of Christian leaders in this area. There are also 200 emails in America and about 100 overseas. I have four Facebook names, 4 Twitter names and 7 emails.
Just one of my Twitter names is GlobalPrayer it has 611 people and groups following it and I follow no one. It is simply used by other praying groups to receive prayer requests from me. These people are everything from a single mom who loves to pray to a series of prayer houses connected to thousands of intercessors praying 24 hours a day 7 days a week in Africa, Europe and Asia literally all over the world. Here are some of their names:
prayingnation, WebEvangelist68, Alicia_Prays, PRAYERrevival, national_prayer, PrayerNews, PrayingTulsa, UnitedWePray, NDPNashville, prayershield, mamatweett, Calltoprayer, RulinThruPrayer,1pray, UnbrnHumnRights, Mission4Jesus, Prayeramid, _PRAYERBOT, PrayerStation, 247prayer, ProjectPrayer, YourPrayerChain, BGEAPrayerTeam, IHOPKC, WorldPrayer, TweetAPrayrRQST
I think you get the idea. There are literally thousands of people connected to these people who are connected to millions more and I am not connected to all of them yet. What am I trying to say? There is a potential to mobilize millions to pray for a prayer request in a matter of a few hours and the power of a praying church is being mega-multiplied in the 21st Century.

Good report! Ashley was admitted and tests were negative and she was sent home. Thanks for praying it’s amazing what the body of Christ can do in agreement, Tim
5. Instantly I gave Glory to God and sent the Praise Report to our team so they could celebrate the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

FROM URGENT REQUEST TO GOOD REPORT TO EXCELLENT NEWS!
The body of Christ is alive and well!
I have been sending out messages for over five years but I have never seen such a response as I received yesterday from the body of Christ.
When I received the call yesterday afternoon about Ashley, the cheerleader who was hurt I immediately sent the prayer request out and when I came back to the computer the response was unbelievable and the result was miraculous.
The body of Christ is alive and anointed with power and if we could ever shake off the restraints that have been placed upon us through division, doctrine and demons we would truly be a force to be reckoned with!
The Spirit reminded me this morning of the centurion that came to Jesus asking for his servant to be healed. Jesus immediately said to him, "I will come and heal him." The centurion said, "Just say the word and my servant will be healed."
The centurion understood the authority that Jesus possessed, the same authority given to his body, all who know Him have this God-given power and authority to heal the sick, cast out devils and raise the dead.
Just think what we as His presence in the earth could accomplish if we would stand together in unity as one in the Spirit against the forces of evil, the world would never be the same!
Thank you for praying and standing together yesterday, it encouraged me more than you will ever know that the saints are still in this fight, keep praying, standing and praising! Amen!
Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour. Matthew 8:13
Your servant in Christ, Tim
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
NKJV
I agree with Tim & the Word the World has not seen yet the results of God’s Grace as a result of a praying church empowered by the social media platforms.Be Encouraged Church! May King Jesus get all of the Glory for what has been shared here.
