Healing Encouragement

BREAST TUMOR DISAPPEARS !
I hope this is encouraging to you—I know it is to me. And yet, I’m not satisfied. I want to see so much more happen in the Healing services we’ve been doing lately. But, I know the power of the shared testimony, so it’s important that we share just a small part of the many healings we’ve been seeing. And the other encouraging point—ALL of these stories are from here in the US, not Brazil or China or India. Four weeks ago, a woman came to the Healing Service with severe pain in her left breast—so bad she couldn’t even have her husband hug her. After the teaching we went into a time of ministry and she received prayer. With this huge smile on her face, she came forward to demonstrate (don’t ask) how she no longer had any pain—pain she had been living with for the past two years! Later, I got to pray with Mary, a young teenager about 14-16. She had limped in with her right ankle wrapped in an ace bandage. One of the wonderful things about the power of the testimony is the faith it builds—in you and the person you’re praying for. Well, I had just seen a young woman healed of a severely sprained ankle when I had a word of knowledge, so I had great faith. After a little prayer, she removed the bandage and began to move it—the first test. Then she realized she had no pain, so I encouraged her to walk on it. The end result—she walked out of the meeting perfectly normal, no swelling or pain, carrying her bandage! Yea God!!
NO MORE ONE-STEP-AT-A-TIME. KNEE HEALED!
The next week in La Mesa, a suburb of San Diego, Carol spoke on healing at their regular service. A young woman in her early twenties came to me for prayer. She had this very visible scar down the middle of her right knee. She had suffered the problem 2 years ago, had the surgery, but it hadn’t alleviated the problem. She couldn’t run, jump, or walk up stairs regularly, and she lived with pain. God just came and touched her immediately. All the pain left and she had full mobility back. To show her healing she jumped up and down before the congregation, and then she walked up the stairs. No more one-step-at-a- time—she bounded up and down the stairs!
HE WALKED OUT DIFFERENTLY!
Just last week we had another Healing Service here at our church in Vacaville. A 14 year old young boy came in with his feet turned out at a 45 degree angle, which he had lived with all his life. After a short prayer, he walked out with his feet pointed perfectly straight. Both he and his mother agreed he had been completely healed and he now walked another way! This past weekend, we were in a great church in Oakdale to teach on taking the power of God into the marketplace. The Sunday morning service was more about getting the “more” of God, but He still likes to heal anyway. Carol encountered a teenager who had a big flexible cast on her knee. She had torn her lateral meniscus (sp?) and something else in her knee. She limped and she had pain. Carol said she had seen a similar situation completely healed (once again the power of the testimony) and she began to pray. Within a minute, all the pain was gone. Later I saw her walking, trying out her knee. After she told me there was no pain, I asked her if she wanted to try it without the brace. The smile said it all, as she walked out of the sanctuary carrying her brace! Then that night, we had a Healing Service. This church has been pressing in for healing and the pastor, Kevin Clancy, has done a lot of teaching on healing. It was so easy that night. One man got up to testify that he had heard something “pop” in his right arm while playing soccer at 4 PM that afternoon. By the time he came to the meeting, he literally couldn’t move his arm, and he was in pain. Now isn’t that interesting—just think about it. How many people would have gone to the hospital instead of the service? In encouraging those who needed healing in the two services that morning to come to the Healing Service that night, I had pointed out that it says in one of the accounts of Jesus walking on the water that ”He would have passed them by.” How many times has Jesus been right there for us, waiting for us to cry out to him. This man put his faith in Jesus, he came to where Jesus was, and He got healed! WOW. The smile on his face said it all.
HEALING IN NAPA—THEN ON TO OREGON
This coming Sunday, we will once again be doing a Healing Service, this time at The Rock Worship Center in Napa. This is a great church that has been pursuing the intimacy of God. We’re excited about the meeting and are expecting God to show up and pour out His healing power. If you’re in the area, we invite you to come. Next weekend, we’ll be doing some meetings on healing at a great Vineyard Church in Grants Pass, OR, and then the next weekend we’ll be at a church to teach on Healing in Corvallis, OR. Blessings.
