God has been answering your prayers.
We received the results of the tests from this morning about an hour ago as we were visited by the Surgeon. The tests show that there is viability in the part of the heart that has been damaged and that I would benefit from having bypass surgery.
The Surgeon was very optimist about doing the surgery and will being doing either a triple or quite possibly a quaddruple bypass. God has been healing my heart over the past week plus. His Name is to be praised.
Currently my surgery is scheduled for 7:30am on Friday morning. I ask that you continue to pray for my family and that our Lord be praised for what He has done. We have had written on the white board in my room - "Expect a miracle!" I know He is doing His best work in me.
Grateful to be a Child of the King!

ReplyDeleteAnd Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU WILL RECEIVE WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IN PRAYER." Matthew 21:21-22

Pastor Mark we are so happy to hear this wonderful news!!! The Lord our God is so Good!! We will continue to pray for you and your family, and for the surgeons that prepare to repair your heart.
Hi Pastor Mark,
ReplyDeleteMy dad was in a similar situation as you about 3 mos ago. Only 30% of his heart was working. It's amazing what they can do for the heart now! He is on the road to recovery, a long road, but he's going to do it. I have been praying him through it and will also pray for you. It must be cool to see God working through you and your family, even in these trying times. I love how God uses all situations to bring glory to Himself. I believe in miracles and will expect one for you too! --Cheryl
Mark & Carla,
ReplyDeleteYou are in our prayers!
I will proclaim the name of the LORD! Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

Rejoicing in the continued healing of your heart! It was great news to hear that the surgery is a go- just to watch your daughter's face as she told me and the love that she holds for her father brought tears to my eyes. It was like a weight was lifted in just knowing that there was enough healing to move forward to the next step of making you whole again. Praise God for the works that He is doing! Continuing to pray-now for steady hands and minds of the doctors as they prepare for your surgery and for your body as it reacts and heals and for the entire family- the emotions and uncertainty. You all are in our hearts and thoughts!!!

Mark, I praise that your getting some of your questions answered. Through this whole process of unknown I really have tried to enjoy being "the least amunt you all" so I could spend time with the greatest, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was in Him I sought anwers and comfort. He made the heavens and the earth and all that is in it, even the brilliant minds who can perform bypass surgeries. yet none can match His wisdom and splendor. I know you experience that from Him! I pray that you lay down your quest for seeking answers from this world and exchange it for His simple and Glorious truth. He loves You. May He impress His words on your Heart today as you pray. We love you. Jenn Powell

Praise be to God for wrapping his arms around you and your family during this difficult time!

So awesome to hear this news! Mark, Jesus can heal your heart and I am joining you in EXPECTING THAT MIRACLE and claiming the power of God to work through the hands of your surgeon and in preparing your heart beforehand. May the surgeon be amazed by the healing God will do in your heart between now and the surgery! I will keep praying that our Lord and healer will make Himself known and be glorified through you! Peace and grace to you and your family as you wait on the Lord.
