Micah Israel Marshall, our 7th precious blessing from the Lord's hand, was born this morning.
Early on, my wife had a "low lying placenta". This is a problem, usually necessitates a C-Section, etc. My wife had actually had a dream a month before we even knew anything about this that she had to have a C-Section (we have 7 now & have never need a C-Section). So, I laid hands on her stomach & prayed in the name of Jesus. We had to do this with our last son Joshua too. Abbi had the visible signs of a somewhat rare disease that can terminate the pregnancy. I laid hands on her & prayed in Jesus' name & it went away. I did the same thing with Micah & we went back in for another sonogram & he had literally done a 180 & gone all the way around the placenta & the placenta he come up totally out of the way.
After Micah was born this morning, when he came out, the umbilical cord was tied in the most amazing braided super-knot you've ever seen. The doctor & nurses said it was the most amazing knot they'd ever seen. Just one tug the wrong way & he would have been cut off & it would have resulted in major problems. Now I know why the Lord kept leading me (& others in our fellowship) to pray for Micah.
If you are an Instagram-er, you can go to my Instagram account (jeffmar1130 is my screen name there too) & see the pics for yourself of the knot. It's pretty amazing! God is sovereign, knows the end from the beginning, & watches over us even when we don't know what we need. Thank you Jesus!
