DRAMATIC HEALINGS IN OCEANSIDE, CA
August 20, 2006
Oceanside, CA
WE SAW HUNGER—AND IMMEDIATE FRUIT
We love going into churches that are relatively new into this present move of God. That’s what we did August 20th as we went to Grace Chapel in Oceanside, CA. One of their elders has been a friend of ours for about 25 years, since we were in the Presbyterian church together. On his recommendation, we got to speak at the Sunday morning service, and the monthly service they have in the evening. What we found was a church that has gone through some changes and is proceeding cautiously, has seen some of the abuses associated with this present move of God, but is DEFINITELY HUNGRY for more of Him. And it is a church that doesn’t believe in waiting for people to come and find them—they are actively going out and presenting the gospel and bringing in the lost. As you’ll read below, we believe we were able to leave a little deposit, and stoke a hunger in them to see more of the power of God as they witness in the marketplace. We have purposefully waited to file this report, and these are just a few of the testimonies the pastor, Ron Ohst, sent us—one being one of the most DRAMATIC HEALINGS we’ve seen in a long time—at least since Colombia in July:
1. Man – “has a skin condition and rash on his chest. The itching had stopped and the rash was diminishing as of Tuesday.”
2. Man – “Had a respiratory infection for a couple weeks and could not take a deep breath. His wife was urging him to go to the doctor to get the condition looked at. Bill touched him and he was immediately healed. He grabbed me in the lobby and demonstrated with joy very deep breaths.”
3. Woman – “Sunday morning Bill called her out as she was going out the back door and said she had been healed of some shoulder condition. She came back Sunday night and confirmed that she had been healed.” The pastor wrote this later. “The lady you called out as she was walking out the door. Her shoulder was healed, and a week later she’s still reporting that it’s completely healed.”
4. Man – “Stood up Sunday morning to tell Bill that he had been healed of some back condition. I didn’t get any more details, but I’ll try.” The pastor later wrote:” I spoke to him on Saturday. You called out some back condition on Sunday morning and he was completely healed when you called it out. He had back pain that went all the way down his leg.”
5. Man –“Very significant inner healing and noticeable reduction in swelling related to a prostate problem — he has a scheduled biopsy as the doctor suspects cancer.”
6. Man – “Has severe joint problems. Hasn’t come to church in years. Here’s his wife’s words:
I just wanted to share a little regarding what happened with…. while he was getting prayer. When…. was ready to leave he was wet with sweat. I ask him ” weren’t you standing in front of a fan?” He said “yes but I felt like my whole body was on fire.” I told him “the Holy Spirit is HOT and ask him if he felt better” he said “that his ankle did felt better.”
7. Woman – “had jammed her thumb earlier in the week. She was completely healed in the morning service.”
8. Woman – “a young lady that came forward in the morning. She kept saying to herself, “I’m not going to fall down, I’m not going to fall down…” and then she fell down. You might remember her – she seemed embarrassed when she jumped up from the floor and seemed anxious to get back to her seat. Her back problem was healed. I spoke with her Wednesday evening.”
RON AND I WERE AMAZED AS WE WATCHED THIS HAPPEN!
9. Woman – This was definitely one of the most dramatic healings we’ve seen in a long time. This is what the pastor observed and wrote. “Had severe scoliosis. One side of her back wouldn’t touch the bed if she were to lay flat on her back. On one side, her ribs were resting on her hip. She was completely healed.”
When we had gone into ministry time Sunday evening, she and her husband came to me and she told me of her scoliosis. As I prayed, the power of God hit her and soon she was on the floor—looking as if she was being “adjusted” by a chiropractor. I kept checking in with her and she said everything was ok. Then I “spoke, declared” to her hips to come into adjustment and suddenly “knew” she had one leg shorter than the other. Her husband and I checked it and both legs and feet were perfectly in alignment. It was then she started “examining” her chest and hips and began weeping. For the first time in years she had “space” between her ribs and hip bone. The hips had actually been hitting the ribs because of the twisted condition of her spine. Now she had no pain, her legs were equal in length, and she suddenly discovered that she was touching the right side of her back to the floor—something she had not been able to do for years!!
NOW, THEY’RE TAKING THIS POWER OUT!
As a testimony of the fruit and deposit that was left, the pastor wrote this: “Another good story is that on Wednesday night after an evangelism training class, a group of folks hung out for about 1 1/2 hours talking about healing the sick, and they are hatching a plot to go out perhaps weekly as a team looking for people that have something obviously wrong with their bodies, asking the Holy Spirit for direction, and then approaching the people and asking for permission to pray for them.” WOW! That’s the church of power—what we’re all supposed to be.
BRAZIL—THEN OUR CONFERENCE WITH DANNO AND GRAHAM
We are currently in Fortaleza, Brazil. We are training and equipping in 4 different churches, expecting to equip between 1500-2000 Brazilians in Healing and Deliverance so they can join Randy Clark and a team of about 210 people as they come to do crusade meetings. We are so excited to have returned to Fortaleza to do this, but we are also looking forward to our next ministry in the US. We will be returning to do a conference NORMAL KINGDOM LIFE, at The Mission in Vacaville, CA with ourselves, Graham Cooke and Dan McCollam September 28-30. All of us are resource people to this church. Many of you know of Graham, and Danno moves with powerful prophesy and signs and wonders, and is carrying great revelation about the sounds of worship. This is going to be a great conference, one of a series our church will be doing, and the emphasis for this one will be on HEALING. You don’t want to miss this. Go to www.themission.vc for details. Blessings. We’ll file reports from Brazil over the next few weeks.
