Bonner's journal-The first 5 days

The longest five days of my life

For five days we endured the rigors of the intensive care unit, and the report of the physicians. The specialists that worked on Hannah were obviously a God-given answer to our desperate condition, and we were VERY thankful for all their care. However, it become overwhelming when they kept reminding us that Hannah was essentially paralyzed.


Had we not understood the promises of God given to us in His written word....Had we not received a direct word from our church body's leader of intercession that Hannah would have "FULL RECOVERY"...Had I not understood how to keep His comforting presence of peace by continual worship and praise...Had I not defended her hospital room from the spirit of fear through praying in tongues...Had I not the knowledge that I could continually "feed' Hannah the healing medicine of scripture as described in Proverbs 4:20...  We would not have the opportunity to share this victory. 



For five days Hannah had an "incomplete" paralyzation. Her only movement was limited to her left thumb and left toes. The neurologists prescribed continual steroid inflammation treatment to the spinal cord through her IV.  Those were extremely hard days, but I maintained a steady dose of God's promises to heal and restore, even when she was asleep and only her subconscious mind could hear God speak life. Every time a doctor would report the condition of her body I would thank them, because I was thankful to know the size and nature of the mountain we were facing. I knew that God's word was the only report that we needed to concentrate on, so I would give her twice the dose of scripture to counterbalance the fear filled reports of her physicians. I knew above all that her soul needed to prosper with His promises, so that her body could be in health.
The natural evidence being displayed in her body, made the reliance on God's promises even more urgent.


A true victory of faith.
I now fully understand what He meant when God declared that "the just shall LIVE by faith."
