Josh Hamilton & Katy – “Message from God.” Back to baseball – but not about baseball. (www.cbn.com)

You might have heard about the player who hit 29 home runs in one round of the Home Run Derby. Some people say he is the best baseball player they have ever seen. But that didn’t last long when Josh Hamilton fell into drug addiction soon after his career and marriage began. He was out of baseball and had a crumbling marriage. But his wife Katy was desperate for God and praying when God gave her a message. She told Josh he would go back to baseball, but not for baseball, but to show what God had done. Now Josh is one of the best players in the league. But it took God and a prophetic message to get him through that.
