Any of you who know this blog well, know that Iohani Wolfgramm is one of my heroes. I want to live a life like his. He was simple and humble - but he lived his life with great power and was loved by so many. When the press shows up to cover your funeral, you know you did something right....
When you are reading this - pay attention to how he prepared to raise his daughter from the dead including the prayer, the pleading of his cause and the recollection of how the Lord has operated in the past. Just this last Sunday, I sought out our home teachers in Cardston for a blessing over a cyst or tumor or something on my waistline about the size of a slug. A real squishy bugger. I simply asked my HT to command it to depart and for my body to be whole in the name of Jesus Christ. I know that now is not my time to go - and that I am being directed very specifically to complete a work that I have been saved for (though I am still ferreting out exactly what it is going to be). I have been saved no less than ten times when I was faced with certain death - and miraculous things happened to save my bacon.... When it is my time, and my errand is done, I will not interfere in the Lord taking me. To me, it is that simple.
I had first noticed the largish growth about a month and a half ago - and am never too concerned about stuff because stuff happens all the time to me (always getting bruises and scratches, etc that I don't recall taking damage on while working a project, etc). So, I did not stress. But it stayed with me and finally got on my concern radar after about four weeks and I showed my wife. I told her I probably would do something about it at some point. So, we had the blessing and I told my wife it would probably be gone after a few days. The Elder was not direct and forceful in his language to command me to be whole in that instant. Well, I drove back to Seattle and woke up this morning and checked for it and could not find it. Nothing - just as had been asked for.
Here is a link to the story of Iohani raising his daughter from the dead, and it contains a link to the Ensign article wherein I read about him and then did a deep dive wherein I found and contacted his daughter and was able to get a copy of his book. One of my treasures:

Enjoy! And I plan on taking a closer look at this blog. It looks like it may have some choice stuff in it.
One blog I like is by a member called "The Lunch is Free." Excellent stuff in there too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Just like you, Iohani Wolfgramm is also one of my heroes and he just happens to be my grandpa too. I pray that I may have the same faith as he did, and I'm striving to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father as my Grandpa Iohani also had.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great posts on here including Val Brinkerhoff's writings. Through reading and attending Val's lectures I feel myself coming closer to Christ, and my mind has been awakened to seeking Him out directly so I can live my life dependent on only Him and not on my own way of thinking or in the arm of flesh.
Thank you for sharing! Just like you, Iohani is my hero too and he also happens to be my grandpa. I pray to have the faith that he had and to also have the same personal relationship like he had with our Savior, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great posts including Val Brinkerhoff's writings. As I've been reading and attending Val's lectures I have been more awakened to literally come unto Christ and everyday try to live my life solely centered on Him and not on myself or on man. I feel that my faith in Christ has increased and my purpose and mission for Him is becoming clearer.
