Pastor Matt Wakefield and his wife, Maggie, held their daughter’s funeral or celebration of life service on January 24. And amidst their grief and loss, the couple still declared “God is Good” and continued to believe that God is the God of Miracles.

A pastoral team member at Mercy Culture Church, Pastor Matt never doubted God’s ability to heal. And in the face of the impossibility, he held onto God and prayed for his daughter, Justice Miracle, to receive her miracle.
Justice was born having difficulty in breathing. But the couple and the church contended in prayer for Justice’s lungs.
Days after, Justice went to be with Jesus. They may not receive the answer to their prayers, but Pastor Matt and Maggie still commit to the truth of God, that He is good and loves to heal.

Maggie shared, “Faith is not found in the receiving, but holding on to what we cannot see. I still believe He is good. He is faithful.”
Additionally, Pastor Matt agreed and supported his wife’s faith and declared it during the remembrance of their daughter’s life. He said, “I and my wife joined in this one thought: ‘In the middle of every storm and every season, GOD IS GOOD!’ It does not change.”
Moreover, Justice’s 4-year-old sister was dancing during the funeral service. And the senior pastor, Landon, testified that as the little girl was dancing, he felt the joy of the Lord come over him. They worshipped God and sang to Him, “You don’t have to prove a thing… you’re able to do all things!”

Indeed, God does not change. He remains good and faithful in whatever season a person may be in. And by this truth, the Wakefields held onto God even more and declared a powerful cry of faith. “We are just getting started in believing God for miraculous! We will be unrelenting in our commitment to live out the truths of God’s word and carrying His Presence everywhere.”
