James 5

James 5:14-15
"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."

In accordance with James 5, the elders of our church asked us if they could pray for healing over Wesley Adam. So, today, after church we met with them to pray.
They placed oil on my forehead, while acknowledging that it has no healing power but the power rests with the Lord.
They each said a prayer asking for miraculous healing. Healing that would take place, not for pride in our prayers, not for our comfort, but for the power of God to be displayed.
All Glory To God.

I had text messaged my mom and dad yesterday, letting them know about our scheduled meeting with the elders. Today, my mom called as we were headed home from church to tell us that my dad had sent our text message to family and friends. He asked them to pray at 12:15 today, knowing that would be about the time we were meeting with the elders. This is just another example of how so many people are daily praying for the healing of Wesley Adam. The testimony of believers across the country praying specifically for the healing of our son is humbling. We are so blessed and thankful for each and every prayer.

Dear Mills,

We were honored to be on our knees in prayer for sweet Wesley Clark. In addition, you were all prayed for by our Bible University (2nd-6th grade Sunday School)students this morning. We love you all, and we serve the creator of life. W.C.Jr., is in His hands. No better place! FMH, Aunt Beth, Uncle Max and Mamaw
