**all organs that they continue to function, especially his kidneys
**expeditious healing of his lungs
**elimination of his fever
Please continue to pray for Lynne, his wife, Megan, his daughter, and the rest of his family.
Thank you and God bless you for all your prayers.

A few days ago I received a vision of angels with flaming swords encircling Nigel. I take comfort from this vision and trust in God’s will. Amen.

Torre,
I was telling someone about Nigel and googled him to find the Guidepost article written last year. http://www.guideposts.com/story/healers-journey
One paragraph stands out:
Nigel gave up his business and comfortable home and began what he calls “a semi-monastic life” at a vacant church retreat house that has now become the Oratory of the Little Way. Some words he’d read in the bible now held great meaning for him: “The prayer of faith will save the sick…”
We definitely need to continue our prayers of faith – “The prayer uttered in faith will reclaim the one who is ill, and the Lord will “raise him up” (restore him to health). James 5:15.
(Someone may have already quoted this passage in a previous message, I don’t remember.)

Dear Torre and Jean,
Today at our service at Church of the Holy Trinity, Syracuse, we had a time of prayer for Nigel+. Afterwards, a woman came up to me to say that one night during this past week, she woke up with a severe cough and choking sensation. She immediately prayed for the Lord to heal her and it was relieved. She then thought of Nigel+, whom she had never met, but knew about him and his healing ministry, and began to pray for him. Following that, her sense was that the Lord was going to do something very powerful because of what he is going through-she has no idea what that might be, but the Lord is going to use it for His glory.
I just wanted to add this to the growing body of testimonies that I already see coming forth.

Dear Torre,
I have been in and around the Christian Healing ministry since I was a little girl, and I don’t believe I have ever seen anything like this……and I agree with Melissa Scoggins comment on your blog. I think the Lord is working through Nigel right now, and His power is being manifested in many ways. What the Lord gave me (also in a very powerful way!) was this scripture. He highlighted the opening and closing verses to me, so I have highlighted them here…..
Nigel always speaks of the power of God and having “Holy Boldness” when we approach him. I believe that the thousands of us are the “cloud of witnesses” now….and the Lord is doing amazing, remarkable things in all of this. He WILL heal Nigel. His will for us is that we be healed, and we claim that. We have faith. We believe. We will run this race with Nigel with perseverance.
Blessings, Liz Forman, Richmond, VA
Hebrews 11-12:1 (New International Version)
Hebrews 11
1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for. 3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. 5By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. 7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. 8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11By faith Abraham, even though he was past age–and Sarah herself was barren–was enabled to become a father because he[a]considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. 13All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. 14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country–a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. 17By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring[b] will be reckoned.”[c] 19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death. 20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. 21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. 22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones. 23By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. 26He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. 29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea[d] as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned. 30By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days. 31By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.[e] 32And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. 37They were stoned[f]; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated– 38the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. 39These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. 40God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
Hebrews 12
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
