As if actually happening before my eyes, I had a vision of his legs growing back. Both of his legs beneath the blue pants, that had been hemmed to reach around the knee joints, just started stretching out. The missing length of his legs reappeared and then the feet. He was watching as I was, in sincere amazement. It didn't seem that it caused him any pain. His wife didn't appear to be aware of what was happening. She was watching to not steer the wheelchair into the crowd of people walking up and down past the hotel.
Our car pulled up immediately after that, and I got in on the passenger side. As Bob slid in the driver's side, all I could say was, "That was amazing!"
"What was amazing?" Bob asked. I told him what I had just seen. Neither of us said much after that.
I thought about this for several days. Finally, I talked to God about it. This is exactly what I said to Him. "Lord, I am thrilled You are going to do this, for you know how thankful I have been most all of my life for my arms, legs, feet, and hands. I just really don't think I am the one to work through. I don't have that much faith."
JUST USE YOUR CHILDLIKE FAITH
IMMEDIATELY, I MEAN IMMEDIATELY, God spoke. "Just use your childlike faith." I said, "OH! It will just happen! It will be fine!" And that settled it.
What exactly did take place in the several days that I was thinking about that vision, and finally coming up with telling God that I just wasn't the one
that much faith."
JUST USE YOUR CHILDLIKE FAITH
IMMEDIATELY, I MEAN IMMEDIATELY, God spoke. "Just use your childlike faith." I said, "OH! It will just happen! It will be fine!" And that settled it.
What exactly did take place in the several days that I was thinking about that vision, and finally coming up with telling God that I just wasn't the one – I just didn't have that much faith?
My adult faith, I will call it, factored in all the impossibilities that I could think of, totally forgetting that with God all things are possible. That's what I believe happened anyway. However, when God simply said to just use my childlike faith, all that thinking I was doing about me, my limitations, the impossible medical restrictions, everything impossible about it was instantly gone.
What thinking took place? That's exactly what God wants us to think about. He wants us to realize the differences between childlike faith and our "adult faith". He wants to show us what to avoid. I can't wait for this teaching.

About the Book
Are you aware, too, that God is using children to reach the world?
The Holy Spirit is gifting our children and grandchildren, and they are naturally able to show God’s power to the world. Some of these children are strong intercessors. Others have the gift of healing. Many are called on by God to teach, while some to prophecy. It’s not just the little ones, but teenagers as well. As we learn how easily these children seem to walk in the supernatural normal, we may be able to rekindle our childlike faith that moved mountains.
