IDEO & PIC –”Acts Of Obedience” Bring Healing
February 25, 2009
San Diego/Benicia, CA
HE CAME EXPECTING THE “CIRCUS”—BUT FOUND IT’S “REAL”
The power of the testimony, and the power of obedience in action, and a great story of healing 8 years ago. We saw this in two meetings we did recently, one in Benicia (Bay area) and the other in Poway (San Diego). Joey came to the meeting on Friday night expecting to see the “circus” – how he described some of the excesses he’s seen and experienced in the past. And, he had needs – aching knees, ankles and back. I gave many words of knowledge that night four of which hit him right on. He stood as I began praying over the group. At one point I felt like God had me say “some are getting healed in your ankles right now, and you need to begin moving them – you might even need to get out of your row and begin walking.” Joey was the only one who did this, and he was instantly healed. He testified that he was healed of four ailments, that he now could walk up and down the steps to the platform without pain, and he demonstrated how he could kneel and do things he had not been able to do – and we had him give his testimony for the next two days. Wow!i

PUT YOUR FAITH IN ACTION
Then in Poway, I spoke on “The Power Of The Testimony” and we told stories of healings in categories – heads and necks, shoulders and arms, hips down to the toes. In this, we demonstrate different ways God comes and heals. We pray corporately over the group, or we have the people turn to someone who needs healing and we walk them through healing, or we send out the prayer team to “touch” each one standing and then move on. I noticed a woman standing and she was flexing her knee. She received a touch from a prayer team member and then the member moved on. When I started asking for testimonies of those who had received a measure of healing, I could tell in the natural she was testing her knee and wanted to testify of some healing– but she didn’t. At one point I said, “I believe there’s someone else who needs to give their testimony and it will release further healing” — still she didn’t come forth, even when I glanced at her several times. By then, God was whispering to me, “If she will testify (and I thought maybe even have to do a prophetic act of walking) she will be healed.” Finally, she stood up, testified she was a runner, had damaged her meniscus, and her knees hurt and popped – but not now! Then I started walking her and it happened – the most amazed look on her face as she realized she no longer had any pain! God honors acts of obedience!!

WHAT TO DO WHEN NO FAITH – DO IT ANYWAY
When we were to go to this church in Poway, I remembered it was there that one of our most powerful healings had happened. We were teaching on the prophetic in 2000, but I got some words of knowledge for healing – pain in the foot. A woman came, said she had pain in her right foot, and a huge degenerative growth on her left foot that the doctors had told her would cripple her just as it had already crippled her sister. I have used this story for 8 years to illustrate not turning the “Principle of Faith” into a law, or the tendency will be to not pray unless you have faith. That night in 2000 I didn’t have faith the growth would go away, but I prayed anyway. Nothing happened – that we could see. The next day, she told me during a break the Lord had told her to “look at your foot” when she woke up. By this time she was weeping and I was looking at her foot. She was wearing sandals for the first time in years – and there was no lump!! That’s the way it is today, 8 years later. No lump, no pain, no problem!! Yea God!!
