Last Thursday, June 24th, Eli went to a dentist appointment for a cleaning. He went in because he had been having pain on his top right side of his mouth. He wasn't able to chew on his right side or drink anything ice cold. Eli couldn't even rinse his mouth with cold water after brushing his teeth. So he went in on Thursday and the dentist told him that he needed a root canal on one of the top right molars. We were to pay $641.00 before the procedure. The nurses made an appointment for Tuesday. Eli came home and told me the news. So we prayed. We did not have the money to pay for the root canal. We prayed that either God would provide the money or heal the tooth. Eli and I were at peace. We knew this was the next faith builder in our walk.
After the cleaning on Thursday, his right side was hurting worse than before he had gone in. On Saturday, Eli's pain began to dull. Eli began testing and eating cold things. Sunday morning, Eli brushed his teeth and rinsed with cold water. NO PAIN! He even ate ice on the right side of his mouth and he had no pain at all. After Sunday's service, Eli began to doubt the healing. He said out loud, "I don't know if I should even claim this healing because this has never happened to me before." His pain came back. So we began to continue praying. Monday, Eli told me that he felt that the Lord was telling him to go to the dentist and to ask for another x-ray. Tuesday, the dental office calls and confirms the appointment.
Eli went in and before they began to prep for the root canal, he asked them for another x-ray. The dentist took the hemostats and held the x-ray card in place and then took the x-ray. When the x-rays came back he said he couldn't see the decay because the tool was in the way. So Eli asked to take another x-ray but without the tool. The dentist told him it wouldn't do any good because the decay was still there. Eli insisted and so the dentist took an x-ray of both sides of his mouth this time. While they were waiting for the x-ray. Eli told the dentist that we were trusting in God to either provide the money or heal the tooth. The dentist became offended and said, "God CANNOT heal your tooth! Because of God did heal your tooth I need to become a Pope." Eli motioned with his hand to calm down and said to him just to wait for the x-rays. X-rays came back and the dentist looked at it and says he doesn't see any decay. But that he had the x-ray backwards. That when he found a small cavity on Eli's LEFT side. The dentist proceeds to tell Eli that he can't explain the pain on his right side that it might have been a sinus infection. Eli then tells him that he doesn't suffer from sinus infections or any kind of allergies. Plus his pain was on his RIGHT side. The dentist still insisted that he just had the x-ray backwards. The dentist begins to work on Eli's cavity. He steps out for a moment. Meanwhile the nurse comes in and says," I guess God can heal a tooth!" Eli says, "Obviously because it went from a root canal on his right molar to a cavity on his left side." The dentist comes back in and says again, " I must have had the x-ray backwards." After he was done, The dentist says, "I guess God came through for you because he healed your tooth and stopped me from making a serious mistake."
We ended up just paying $136 which we could afford. PRAISE GOD! GOD IS AWESOME! WHAT A KING OF GLORY MOMENT!
