Instructions

My grandma (grammy) has always had trouble sleeping at night; her nights and days are backwards. Lately she hasn't been falling asleep for a different reason. Her husband, Paw, just turned 65. What's weird about that age is that everyone on his side of the family died at 65, so she was fairly worried (as any normal person would be).
She would stay up all night, thinking and worrying what she would do if he was gone. The only time she would ever fall asleep was out of pure exhaustion. This night was one of those nights.
She was having the same dream that she had every time she fell asleep; she was in San Fransisco, walking around and basically doing nothing. Suddenly the dream just stops.

Now,she hears a voice. Not just any voice, she knows that it is God. He says:
"David Gene (Paw) has pre-cancerous lesions on his lungs. I know you are worried about him. If he will stop smoking, I will heal him. but....
Not one more
Not one more
Not one more
Not one more
I know he smokes when he gets stressed, so tell him this instead: when he is stressed, instead of turning to the cigarette, tell him to turn to Me for support.
Not one more
Not one more
Not one more
Not one more
Not one more

My grammy woke up and was completely energized. She immediately called him downstairs and told him the story.

My Paw promised that he wouldn't smoke any more.
Not one more.

And my grammy? She is finally falling asleep at night, and sleeping all the way through.

My grandparents faith is like never before. They were amazed that with all that was going on in the world, that He cared enough to take the time to talk to them.

Honestly I think that its just incredible.

He is amazing :)
