Family of Conjoined Twins Praises Lord After Separation Surgery

The family of conjoined twins praises the lord after separation surgery. When James and Amanda Finley learned they needed to purchase double cribs, double car seats, and double the number of diapers, they were overjoyed. Already parents to two other children, they learned God was asking them to trust in him on this incredible journey of faith. But they didn’t know how God would use their little girls to inspire prayer all over the country. 

When Amanda was about three months pregnant, she and James were stunned when they learned their twins were conjoined. Both Amanda and James were in tears on the way home from that pregnancy visit. They knew the odds of their daughters surviving didn’t have great odds because these kinds of surgeries are rare. James said, “It was a scary journey because we didn’t know what was going to happen.” 

The twins were joined from their chest to their belly button and shared a liver. Throughout their pregnancy and birth, friends, family, and complete strangers were praying thanks to Pastor T.D. Jakes. He is the pastor of the twin’s grandmother who lifted her sweet grandbabies up in prayer believing God would provide a miracle!

Twins Amie-Lynn and Jamie-Lynn Finley were separated in an hours-long surgery. On January 23rd a nurse from the surgery team announced to the family, “You have two babies on two separate beds.” Their family erupted in cheers! Perhaps the biggest blessing for Amanda and James was the doctor’s faith in the ultimate healer’s hands of God. The video of their medical team will make you misty-eyed as you witness their doctor praying over the girls too!

Pastor T.D. Jakes was all smiles when he heard the news. He had asked friends and family all over the country to pray. “I’m just so happy to see the good outcome that’s come out of this,” he said. “The doctors did an amazing job. I am just so inspired,” he added

The girls are recovering from their surgery and I imagine they will have quite the testimony to share as they grow up and talk about their miraculous entrance into the world where fear was conquered through faith and trust. What may seem unbeatable in our eyes is beatable in God’s hands. 

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well,” Psalms 139:13-14
