Nikita's testimony

Nikita's testimony
Nikita’s (our son) Testimony 
Jesus is the same: today, yesterday and forever. 
We would like to share special testimony with all those who believe that God has not changed and never will. James says that In Him there is no shadow of change. 
Some would have us to believe that what Jesus did while on earth was only temporary manifestations of God’s power just to prove that God sent Him to earth. These teachers have brought in the doctrine that after the last apostle passed away the power of God is no longer there. 
But all those who would ever dare to believe that Jesus is the same like He was while on earth will prove different. 
Our family was experiencing what I would call excessive faith test. In the middle of the unbearable circumstances our son Nikita (3 years old) got sick at the time when things seemed already impossible. He came down with very bad throat infection. He could not eat, or drink and he hardly slept few hours for two nights. As we saw how painful it was for him we called the doctor. She came next day in the afternoon and gave us a long list of medicine which was expensive. The doctor said that the boy would have to take these heavy antibiotics 7 days. We had to buy antibiotics for his throat. We realized that antibiotics were really bad for his young body. 
Next day his situation was not getting any better, we had to force him to eat and drink. It felt too much for us since there were many other problems we were facing. And now this on top of them all which seemed to drain all our energy. We did pray for him but it seemed that we were powerless in this situation. In the evening of the second day, Nikita kept crying and had his lips swollen due to fever and being unable to swallow his saliva. It was around 6 p.m. when I put him on my laps and pressed him tightly and we cried out to Jesus. We rebuked the infection, and said that since Jesus lives in our home, He is the owner and He is the Lord in our home and we can’t do anything to help our son, we knew that He can. In my spirit we brought our son to the feet of Jesus. We did not give much thought to the prayer and we got busy doing other things. We noticed that within half an hour our son went to the kitchen and chugged the whole glass of juice. Then he grabbed a cookie and ate it. It was unbelievable since few hours earlier he could not eat even liquid sup. All of a sudden he began to run around place, playing with toys that he did not play with for two days. We looked at his lips which were swollen earlier and they got back to normal. His fever was gone. So it was one hour since we prayed. Next day he could eat everything and do everything he did before like nothing ever happened. 
Praise Jesus for His power.
