"I'll be back in 30 days." The following day, the doctor called to discuss Evelyn's bloodwork. With both of them on the phone, he said, "I'm sorry, your baby has died." Taking a Stand "Doctor, could you be mistaken?" asked Gabriel. "No," he replied. "Have you ever said a woman was miscarrying and she wasn't?" "No." "Doctor, have you ever seen a situation like this change?" Gabriel asked. "Not in my 30 years of practice." "Well, doctor, we're going to be your first." After the call, Gabriel told Evelyn, "I'm going to pray. You go pray, too." Gabriel knelt before the Lord, praying in tongues while tears streamed down his face. Why are you crying? the Lord asked him twice. "Didn't you hear the doctor? He said the baby died," Gabriel answered, wiping his tears. If you believe you have received, then you act like it. Evelyn got into her prayer room and turned her face to the wall. "Lord," she prayed, "what's going on here? Have I missed something? What do I need to do?" She sat in silence, listening. I'm not a man and cannot lie. Neither am I the son of a man that I need to repent. That settled it for Evelyn. She knew they were in for a fight, but it was a fight they would win. She also knew the baby was dead. They only had a small window of time to get their faith on top of the situation. "The Lord let me know that we would be unstoppable because of our agreement," Gabriel recalls. "One could put 1,000 to flight, but two could put 10,000 to flight. All we had to do was stay in faith, stay in agreement and encourage one another." The Court of Heaven Later that day, Gabriel and Evelyn each grabbed their Bibles and sat at the dining room table. Together, they took their case before the highest court in heaven. "Heavenly Father, I'm asking You to join us in this meeting," Gabriel said. "Jesus, You sit at the right hand of Your Father in heaven, so I ask that You also sit here. We want the angel to come as well. And the evil spirit that caused this needs to be here too, because we need to let the kingdom of darkness know how we are standing. The kingdom of heaven needs to know what we believe. "Father, just like You raised up Your Son, I thank You for raising up my son, too. You said the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us and quickens our mortal bodies. Evelyn's body has been made alive in the Spirit. I call life back into our baby's body. Thank You for healing whatever caused this." Evelyn and Gabriel opened their Bibles, reading the 70 scriptures on which they'd chosen to stand. Gabriel began to pray some more: "Father, Your Word says because we tithe, we should not miscarry. Your Word says that the vine should not cast its fruit before its time. You said that nothing is impossible with You. We believe Your Word. We believe that we receive our baby alive and well. We release the angel to go and cause this to happen. We declare before the evil spirit that we will not accept this and we rebuke you! We declare these things in the mighty Name of Jesus." Then they worshipped God, rejoicing in their victory. Afterward, Evelyn said to her husband, "We're going to have a baby. Let's go get some baby furniture." Having Done All "We bought baby furniture and set up the nursery," Evelyn remembers. "I knew I had to hold fast to my confession without wavering. Meanwhile, my physical body was doing everything that the doctor said it would. I was bleeding just like a woman suffering a miscarriage. I suffered cramping. However, I denied those symptoms the right to continue. My body had to obey me. My child had to obey me, too. "Every day was a fight of faith. I kept my eyes on the Scriptures. I kept the Word of God before my eyes, in my ears and in my mouth. 1 6 : B V O V JUNE READ THROUGH THE BIBLE Wed 1 2 Sam. 6:12-8:18 Acts 19 Thu 2 2 Sam. 9-11 Acts 20 Fri 3 2 Sam. 12:1-13:33 Acts 21 Sat 4 2 Sam. 13:34-15:23 Sun 5 Ps. 71-72; Prov. 15:1-15 Mon 6 2 Sam. 15:24-17:29 Acts 22 Tue 7 2 Sam. 18:1-19:30 Acts 23 Wed 8 2 Sam. 19:31-21:22 Acts 24 Thu 9 2 Sam. 22:1-23:7 Acts 25 Fri 10 2 Sam. 23:8-24:25 Acts 26 Sat 11 1 Kgs. 1:1-2:9 Sun 12 Ps. 73-74; Prov. 15:16-33 Mon 13 1 Kgs. 2:10-3:28 Acts 27 Tue 14 1 Kgs. 4:1-6:10 Acts 28 Wed 15 1 Kgs. 6:11-7:39 Rom. 1 Thu 16 1 Kgs. 7:40-8:53 Rom. 2 Fri 17 1 Kgs. 8:54-10:23 Rom. 3 Sat 18 1 Kgs. 10:24-12:15 Sun 19 Ps. 75-77; Prov. 16:1-17 Mon 20 1 Kgs. 12:16-13:34 Rom. 4 Tue 21 1 Kgs. 14-15 Rom. 5 Wed 22 1 Kgs. 16:1-18:6 Rom. 6 Thu 23 1 Kgs. 18:7-19:21 Rom. 7 Fri 24 1 Kgs. 20:1-21:16 Rom. 8 Sat 25 1 Kgs. 21:17-22:53 Sun 26 Ps. 78; Prov. 16:18-33 Mon 27 2 Kgs. 1-3 Rom. 9 Tue 28 2 Kgs. 4:1-5:19 Rom. 10 Wed 29 2 Kgs. 5:20-7:20 Rom. 11 Thu 30 2 Kgs. 8-9 Rom. 12 Old Testament New Testament
