As a young couple, Stephen and Aimee Woods, were excited to welcome their first child. But they faced a devastating ordeal when Aimee developed severe preeclampsia during her pregnancy. Aimee’s complications led to an emergency delivery at 33 weeks. Their daughter, Ella, was born on December 18, 2013, fighting for her life with pulmonary hypertension.
Amid frantic medical efforts, Ella’s condition worsened. Overwhelmed with fear, Stephen spent one night crying out to God for guidance and heard the word “Believe.” He returned to Aimee, declaring with conviction that Ella would survive and come home. Their faith was tested as Ella’s doctors prepared them for the worst, allowing them to hold her for what seemed to be their final goodbye.
At that moment when all hope seemed lost, Stephen shifted from prayers to praising God. Miraculously, in her darkest moment, Ella opened her eyes, signaling a dramatic turnaround. Her vital signs improved, stunning doctors and nurses.
Against all odds, Ella recovered fully and was discharged less than a month later. Today, she is a thriving, healthy girl, who has come to be known as the ‘Christmas Miracle baby’. She is a living testimony of the power of God that manifests in praise. Ella Stephen’s story has been featured on the Christian broadcasting Network [CBN] and other Christian media networks.
Just as Ella Stephens received a miracle in the Christmas season, there is a testimony for anyone who keys into the significance of this season.
Truly, there’s something miraculous about Christmas. There’s a perceptible change in the atmosphere and it seems Heaven begins to smile upon the earth.
Being part of the year’s end, it is the time when God crowns the days with good things. Therefore Christmas is a time for receiving Heavenly packages of good things.
One way to attract our own miracle package is through engaging in praise and thanksgiving.. According to Mark 16, signs and wonders are meant to follow you as a believer, but it will take praise to make it happen.
Looking at Jesus’ ministry, we see profound miracles as a result of praise.
In John. 6:5-12 when He fed 5,000 men in the wilderness, thanksgiving was what multiplied the loaves. And also in John 11:41-44, at the graveside of Lazarus, praise was what brought him back to life.
Also in Acts 16, praise bailed Paul and Silas out of their mid-night ordeal. After they prayed and then switched to praises, God showed up and brought deliverance to them.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells in every thing to give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us.
In this Christmas season as thanksgiving proceeds from the depths of our hearts to God, it will be a time of supernatural outbreak of great testimonies and unending celebrations for us.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the blessings of this Christmas season. I know that even now You are at work in my life to turn tests and trials into amazing testimonies for me in Jesus Name.
