2009 In Photo Review
It was an incredible year, filled with many healings and miracles. As I’ve looked back on this year, I have been overwhelmed at how God has used us and the people around us to so dramatically touch people’s lives. Just one example: I prayed and prophesied over a young woman in Copenhagen — she definitely had the Healing Anointing. During our teaching, she heard my challenge: “Don’t say healing doesn’t work until you’ve prayed for 100 people, because if you do, someone will get healed and you’ll get hooked.” She started praying, people started getting healed — and then she prayed for her pregnant friend who had been told by her doctor that the baby would be born with Down’s Syndrome. After prayer, and another examination — NO INDICATION OF DOWN’S!!
The following stories and photos are just a sample of what we saw God do this past year.
Act Of Obedience
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!
Glory
God spoke to her 10 minutes before the morning meeting to go, even though it wasn’t her church, and she knew nothing about the speakers (us). But, she was desperate with a debilitating migraine, diabetes, back, knee, and ankle pain. You could literally see the pain etched on her face. During the ministry time for “impartation for healing” (not even praying for healing), the “Glory” fell on her and she was gloriously healed and laughed like she didn’t have a care in the world.. Gave her testimony the
next day. Wow!
Lump Dissolves Under Her Hand
When I asked everyone who had pain or a condition that needed to be healed to stand, ¾ of the room did. After a couple of minutes of declaring God’s word and healing power over them, we had our first credible witness. Hanne, the worship leader, was known to almost everyone, even those not from this church. I had them put their hands where it hurt – she placed her hand on a hard knot she had for 8 years on her neck. She didn’t expect anything to happen – but it dissolved under her fingers, and all the pain she had dealt with over those years and especially the week of the conference was gone in an instant! WOW.
She Suddenly Speaks and Understands English
Young Colombian woman, dancer, came to the morning pastors and leaders meeting. Got whacked (surely a theological term) and began speaking and understanding English. She and her friends confirmed she had not previously spoken or understood the language. Since it’s such a poor area, there’s no reason for them to learn English as you find in the larger cities such as Medellin and Cali – always a problem when it comes to translators while praying.
Divine Set-Up
Sunday morning, first of 5 services for the church that day, and this one starts at 6:00 AM!! I started by saying “you couldn’t pay Americans to go to church at 6 AM.” 900 people, packed out. Young man on the front row with his left hand in the white bandage. I had such a gift of faith — I absolutely knew he was going to get healed, it was just too much of a set-up. I told some testimonies of healings we had seen during the week. Some above the waist, some below the waist. For the ones in the congretation who had problems above the waist, I sent our small team, plus the pastors, worship team, singers, and ushers dressed in blue to go release the power of God to the 400+ standing, saying “All things made new, be healed in Jesus’name.” Literally that short because we were on a time schedule – next service waiting outside to come in – and there were waaaay more people than prayer servants. I touched his hand, and was praying over the microphone, exhorting the prayer ministers. Suddenly, he began unwrapping the bandage and splint, then fell the floor weeping. He testified, Jesus had come to him, said “Don’t be afraid, I’m with you, and I love you.” He had fractured his hand, surgery was scheduled, and he couldn’t move it. Now, he was flexing it, and he shook my hand with a forceful grip – totally healed!!
It Plumped — And Then Grew Out
This man had cut off 1/4+” of his little finger 15 years before in an industrial accident. I instructed the people of the church how to pray, and as the 20 something young man prayed for the finger to grow, he said “it plumped, and then just grew out!” C’mon!!
What an incredible year, and it’s only going to get better!! Looking forward to the miracles of 2010.
