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!Micah Israel Marshall, 6lbs 6oz. A 7th testimony to the grace & blessing of God!
Praise God brother.

We serve the God of the impossible! Praise Him! It's His specialty! I love that you were faithful and wise to the laying on of hands for healing! I thank God for doctors and nurses, but I will always turn FIRST to the Father.Hearty congratulations! The name you've chosen is just wonderful! I don't know what Instagram is but I'm sure I don't have it on my computer and I don't have a phone that does anything other than call people and take a message.

Praise God Jeff and congratulations on another precious arrow in your quiver! Psalm 1273 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
