2 months ago when we were in Lakeland, Cody met a lady from IHOP. Basically, one night he was laying on the floor in the back of the tent just resting. This lady saw him and sat down to pray for him for 45 minutes. Cody finally woke up and they talked briefly, then she gave him her card and left.
While Cody was in the hospital, God kept bringing this woman to my mind. I felt like I was suppose to get in touch with her and ask her to pray for Cody. I remembered that he stuck her card in his wallet, so I looked and there it was with her email address at the bottom. So I wrote, explained the current situation, and asked if she would once again intercede for Cody. She and her husband are intercessory missionaries with International House of Prayer.
Her response blessed us so much! Here's an excerpt:
"Amy, Praise the Lord! I can not tell you how many times I have thought of your Cody. When I sat down to pray for him in Lakeland, I was expecting a heaviness to overcome me as sometimes happens when I pray for sick people.I actually thought: gosh this guy is so ill I don't want to connect and pray for him. but what happended is this, I sat down and such joy filled me. Cody has Angels around him. All around him. There is such a gift of 'life' everywhere by him. It was to my good to pray for him. He gave life to me. When he opened his eyes to stand up, I was sad. The beautiful time of sitting before the Lord was ending. I hugged your Cody and knew that I had just been hugged by God from inside of him."
WOW, what an encouragement!

It's the truth! You feel Cody long before you even see him. May her prayers be a rich and healing annointing.
Ok, so that got me crying again. How awesome for confirmation of the answer to all our prayers. Knowing that a stranger has felt and known the joy and the prescence of angels that we've all been praying for! I should be able to send the "care" package I've been doing this past couple of weeks for you guys. I love you so much and really really miss talking with you! I think this is the 1st year since I've met you I haven't been able to be a complete goofball and sing happy birthday to you! haha Anyways, hug that Cody of yours for me! love you always!
Wow!!! That was really something. God never seems to amaze us. Just when you think you've heard it all....something new come to us. Praise the Lord!
What an awesome testimony of prayer to all of us who are prayer warriors. I trust every word she has spoken to our Lord Jesus on behalf of Cody. I believe in angels; they are sent to us in many forms. I am praying with many for Cody and for you, Amy.
Love from Mama B
