The Power of Prayer

In northern Iran, a couple whose child became severely ill, not for a day or two, but for a long time, with frequent trips to the hospital, they were exhausted, tired, facing difficult financial conditions, and didn't know what to do. At this time, this person came to faith in Jesus Christ; her name is Narges. When Narges came to faith in Jesus Christ, she told her husband about her faith, but her husband showed no interest. Narges joined a fellowship. Every week she went to the weekly fellowship. There she opened her heart and said, 'My conditions are difficult, my child is ill,' and everyone there prayed for her. But they told her something: 'You too can pray in the name of Jesus Christ. You too have power in the name of Christ.' And even though she had just come to faith, she continued to pray, she kept praying. She prayed on the way from home to the hospital. Her husband mocked her, sometimes getting frustrated. He said, 'Where is God? If there was a God, we wouldn't be in this financial situation, our child wouldn't be sick.' But Narges faithfully continued to pray. The last time they were going to the hospital, on the way, her husband parked the car and showed respect. Things were changing. God was working. Even in her husband. Narges's husband, respectfully, when Narges's prayer finished, they moved towards the hospital. When they entered the hospital, they were faced with a scene. They were told, 'You can discharge your child today. There are no more problems.' But there was a problem. They didn't have money to pay for the settlement. They had insurance, but the insurance they had didn't cover all the costs, and it was a very large amount. There were other people in the accounting line. The only family who didn't pay any money, and whose accountant said 'you don't need to pay anything,' was this family. There, the husband, seeing this, gave his life to Jesus Christ, and today all three of them are connected to the weekly fellowship. God is good, and He hears and acts.
