Thursday, December 17, 2015: This is a testimony by Whit Bass.
He had a hospice patient in Rayville he visited recently. When he showed up at the patient's house; he had back pain that was so severe that it reflected on his face. Whit led him to his chair and asked if he could pray for his back while the patient was still standing. He laid his hand on his back, after praying he asked him if he could tell any difference in his pain level. He said that the pain level had gone from an eight to a six. Whit visited with him and then prayed again; he did these four different times. The pain level went from an eight to a six, then to a four then to a two and then zero. The man had cold chills going up and down his back as Whit prayed the third time. That day God touched him and healed his back physically.
Whit returned a few weeks later to see the patient and the man told him that his back was no longer hurting, this was a non-solicited comment. Whit could tell that something was still bothering the patient. The patient told Whit that December was always a difficult time for him.
The patient went on to share how 30 years ago on December 24 his 10-year-old son was shot in an accident with a shotgun by a first cousin before going rabbit hunting. For many years the father has blamed himself for this incident. Wondering if he should have allowed his son to go hunt. The son and the older brother never told their father that they were going to invite their cousin to join them.
Because of this incident there was a lot of hurt between him and the other members of the family. The family to this day has never apologized to the father. His son was rushed to the hospital in Rayville; there the doctor worked on him for hours and hours, giving him hope and then no hope. His 10-year-old son didn't make it; he and his wife went home that night and went to sleep only to be woken up by a gunshot sound from next door by the family's cousin that shot his son. The cousin and his father were rabbit hunting right near the Patient's home. The patient was deeply hurt and enraged by this lack of sensitivity. Many years went by and because of this accident bitterness and hurt affected their marriage and the marriage eventually failed. The wife cheated on the husband, the father of the 10-year-old boy. Because of this most Christmas' seasons have not been enjoyable. Whit felt compelled to pray for this man, he got on his knees and began to hug him and hold him. He began to pray; the man began to sob as he prayed for the glory of God and the light of God to begin to heal the emotional wounds from the trauma, emotional pain, etc. With tears in his eyes he said "In 30 years I have never had a pastor do for me what you have done today". Whit believes that God touched him and he will have a much better Christian and Christmas experience.
