Agree with Us for a Miracle: Becky Richardson is the 55-year-old wife of Oscar Richardson, pastor at the Chesapeake Vineyard in the Deep Creek section of
These are two of my oldest and dearest friends. They helped start that church with me years ago. She had a cerebral aneurism at home last Wednesday. Dozens of people from many local churches have come to the hospital to pray and support this much-loved family day and night for days. Just tonight, March 27, the doctors at Chesapeake General in
But this is not the end of the story.
It seems that everyone who has come to the hospital to pray over the last six days senses that God is not ready to take Becky home to heaven. Given the lack of brain waves, most Christians would release the person the Lord and stop praying for healing. I have done that in the past. It makes sense. But God, as we know, is not limited by what makes sense to us!
I am asking you all to agree with dozens of us who have known Oscar and Becky for many years that God would glorify Himself greatly in this situation. If He is not ready to take her home, then He intends to do something pretty spectacular to show others Who He is and what He can do. Nothing motivates God more than that. I could be wrong but I fully believe that something amazing is going to happen here that will astound the medical, Christian and non-Christian community. I am not a “name-it-and-claim-it person—nor are the others who agree that God is not done here. God is God. While He generally wants to heal people when asked, if God wants Becky in heaven, that is fine with us. She belongs to Him more than to us. We just don’t believe that her time here is finished.
I know some of you may have never prayed like this, but please pray now that God would raise Becky up miraculously. It's easier not to pray that way, but I believe we will miss the great thing that God wants to do to glorify Himself if we don't. Many souls could come to Jesus as a result of a miracle like this!
