Miracles we Believe that Jesus has Already given to Jamaica

 

We feel that God has already done many miracles towards the goal of creating and establishing a world class healthcare industry in Jamaica. When reading this page we know that some folks will not see the developments listed on it as being miraculous but we do based upon the following verse....

 

James 1:17 - Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights....

So, even though most of  Jamaica's existing hospitals are currently so deficient, we are grateful for them and for all that God has been doing over the years to help them. We see this situation with them as being similar to when Jesus was thankful for a deficient number of  loaves of bread and 2 fish that were present when He wanted to feed the vast crowds of thousands who followed Him. After He thanked God for that small existing provision of but a few morsels, he blessed them and then they began to miraculously multiply into becoming enough food to more than feed all of the thousands of people in His crowds!

 

Below we have listed a few of the miracles that we believe that God has already done for Jamaica for which we are very thankful.

 

Matthew 6:8 - ....your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

 

In the spirit of the story above of our Lord bringing forth a miracle of multipied provision, we bless these miracles in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and we believe that He will soon improve upon them and  multiply more of them as He moves to establish a new, huge, world class healthcare industry in Jamaica....

• Early April 2015 - An introduction of some of our members to information on Alaska's South Central District's approach to healthcare. Their unique system involves their state's natives and their hospitals staffs with ongoing meetings in which they discussed, formulated and implemented better and better procedures for healthcare in their territory. This system's use of complete transparency and accountability by hospital management and their rapid response to feedback from the public and the hospital staff has proven to be a great success in including their poorer citizens in the "ownership" and the efficiency of their healthcare system. A similar model in Jamaica is probably just what Jamaica needs to greatly improve and secure its own healthcare system so we see this information as a miracle and we are now praying for God to raise up people to design and implement it in Jamaica....

• April 2015 - the Heart Institute of the Caribbean Chest Pain Centre will offer free emergency physician evaluation for anyone with chest pain or cardiac complaints after hours. "We are of the view that cardiovascular care delivery in Jamaica will be greatly enhanced through a process of open access to rapid and prompt coronary angiograms at the time when patients need this the most and especially for those patients most at risk,” explained HIC CEO, professor Ernest Madu.If the doctor determines they need an angiogram, it is also offered free and patients would only be required to purchase the low cost RAPID Angiokits that are available through various suppliers in Jamaica.“We believe that an open and accelerated access to coronary angiograms without financial consideration will lead to a quick diagnosis and allow Clinicians to define proper treatment strategies and give patients early diagnosis and families, well deserved comfort and peace of mind,” Madu added -                            http://loopjamaica.com/2015/04/14/jamaica-news-community-heart-institute-providing-free-emergency-angiograms-for-jamaicans/

• April 2015 - Over 150 children in St James received eye glasses, thanks to an initiative of the Rotary Club of Montego Bay Sunrise. Under the $3 million project, some of the children also received referrals to see eye specialists. The club hopes to hand out more glasses to needy children.

 

As can be seen by the news reported here of so many miracles occurring just in the months of March and April of this year, God has been obviously already moving to improve Jamaica's health care industry. We believe that our prayers have helped to move God into bringing some of these blessings into being so quickly. So please join with us in prayer for Him to continue to do so. We believe that Jesus is a God of order so we see Him gradually bringing all of these miracles forth in an orderly fashion all over the island so as not to overwhelm its health care facilities or their care givers as He improves things.

 

Genesis 33:13 - 14 - "....the children are frail and the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care to me. And if they are driven hard....all the flocks will die. So please let me....proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children....

 

Deuteronomy 7:22 (in principle) - The Lord your God will clear away the hospitals health care problems before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, for the people seeking advanced care would grow too numerous for you to quickly serve.
