Speaking of Constructing!

We recently received an email from a dear sister in Christ who shared the following good news:

"Praise the Lord! First, I must say thank you to my Heavenview brothers and sisters for their prayers for my dad.

We serve a great awesome and mighty GOD. HE is a God of healing and He is a miracle worker.

I was told that on Friday before the procedure my dad could hardly catch his breath, so his doctors decided to go ahead and move the surgery date up.

The doctors went up his wrist to do the angioplasty and they were baffled by what they did not see.

There was no blockage in his arteries. My dad’s heart is as good as new. “To GOD be the glory great things HE has done”, and HIS wondrous works HE is still performing. God bless you all."

God "re-constructed" a heart! He made it "as good as new"

We praise God for this amazing miracle.
