Actor Matthew Lawrence recalls a miracle that he witnessed firsthand and also discussed the incredible power of prayer.
The Bible is a blueprint and guidebook for life. It has commands, suggestions and examples for nearly every situation and circumstance you'll ever encounter. Are you having an issue with this or that? The Bible has words of wisdom that will guide and point you in the right direction.
Additionally, the Bible contains miracles. Miracles abound in God's Word from the Old Testament to the New Testament. But for some reason, many believe miracles no longer occur. Something like that couldn't possibly happen today, right? Well, you'd be wrong.
In a clip posted on social media, actor Matthew Lawrence admits that he also thought miracles no longer happen. That was until he witnessed and experienced a miracle and how prayer can totally and completely change a situation.
Matthew says he went to a retreat called "21 Days of Prayer," where he and his group would begin each day at 7 a.m. praying over one another. Sadly, one of the people in his group, a woman, had been diagnosed with Stage Four cancer. She had given up all hope, Matthew says.
"And there was this one lady, Stage Four lung cancer," he said. "And on the 21st day, she says, 'At the beginning of this, I had given up. I had stopped all my cancer treatment. I had told all the doctors that I'm not doing this anymore. I am cancer-free.'"
Matthew understands that He witnessed God at work right in front of him.
"I witnessed a miracle happen in front of me," he said. "And in witnessing that, that was the real shift for me. Once you see something like this, miracles can happen."
Matthew added that this woman believed she would be healed through prayer. And "It worked," he said.
