While the nurse in the sick bay was rushing for the school driver, Jessica told some of her friends to hold hands together around Glory so that they could pray for her. As Jessica and her friends started praying in the name of Jesus, Glory’s breath began to gradually return and everyone could see changes. Before the nurse and the driver came, Glory was already seated in a calm position and was fine. Glory was later taken to hospital that day by her parents and she returned to school the next day hale and hearty. The prayer of faith offered by her Christian friends healed her.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
