Читать книгу Choose LIFE! - Peggy Scarborough - Страница 3
Foreword
ОглавлениеDr. Peggy Scarborough is an intercessor. She is a published author, speaker and radio personality.
Twice, she has battled back from some medical prognosis that seemed terminal. Earlier, it was cancer. She came out of that battle with deeper insight into healing and spiritual warfare – she wrote a book about that experience. Recently, a heart-valve implant, now relatively routine, went desperately wrong, threatening her life or even more troubling, promising to leave her in a vegetative condition.
Doctors, innocently, pronounced her productive life as over, her chances of normalcy as virtually non-existent. Intercessors across the nation and around the world rallied, and prayed, and God raised her up – miraculously. Her recovery is evidence that God still intervenes; that faith still touches the throne of God; that He still heals; that in the most intractable and impossible situations, God still acts.
This book is the story of her recent struggle with death. It is not only a tribute to Peggy’s indomitable faith, but to the prayers of an invisible circle of intercessors gathered around her, not physically, but virtually, in the Spirit. Peggy has been and even after this episode, continues to be a prayer-mobilizer par excellence. She works in building prayer teams for governors across several states. She serves the Cry Out America endeavor touching every county in South Carolina. She mobilizes prayer for her own denomination, the Church of God. Her story reminds us, that sometimes intercessors need intercessors.
Whether Peggy’s encounter with near death was a medical fluke or a direct attack of some demonic spirit who took aim at the huge target on her back, due to the important role she plays, the outcome was the same – and the Evil One would have loved to see her light diminished. When doctors gave no hope, intercessors believed and formed an invisible circle around her. They appealed to heaven – and God spared her life.
I know you will be inspired by reading her story. I hope you, as an intercessor, will see the importance of your own role. And if you are not a serious intercessor – join the movement. Around the world, the tide of prayer is rising.
Glad you are still with us, Peggy!
