One of the most powerful meetings we’ve ever done.  We had been 3 days in the Ministry School, The Well, at Eastpointe Foursquare Church in Bonney Lake, WA (suburb of Seattle/Tacoma). Then a great Saturday night service, and finishing with Sunday morning.  The church is somewhat new into all this current move,  but great pastor, and hungry, hungry.

It started with Rob’s testimony of his son Caleb on Sunday morning during worship.  A very emotional time triggered by a line in a worship song.   Past 2 years his eyes turned in.  Glasses didn’t help.  Now, they wanted to do surgery, but he had been born with a heart murmur, so parents  hesitant.  Saturday night, someone else’s word of knowledge — someone wore glasses but wasn’t supposed to.  They brought him to me, I showed them 3 pictures on my iPad, and told the testimonies of these people getting healed from eye problems.  Dad held him,  mom laid hands on him as I declared healing.

Checked him before bed.  Eyes straight — much to surprise of mom & dad.  Caleb said:  “Jesus walked on water, He heals eyes.”  The picture below is from Sunday afternoon.  Straight as an arrow!!

GERMANY & BOGOTA –We had two missions trips, almost back-to-back.  God’s the same in both places.

Gabby’s eyes in November, 2010 — The pastor’s wife, Gabby (2nd from right), wore glasses for 19 years and would get headaches if she didn’t wear them.  This is her 4 days after prayer — no glasses!

NOW (below), this is her 11 months later, October 2011.  No glasses and no headaches.  And, she’s praying for people with eyesight problems!

Christa has had pain in her back due to a missing piece in her lower spine for 21 years!  She said she couldn’t do this — she is now!  And, no pain.

Kate hasn’t been able to hear well out of her right ear for over a year – everything sounds “muffled.” First, a nerve causing pain in her left jaw got healed, and then she noticed her ear had opened up.  She got a “two-fer.”

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA:  One of our favorite things is when someone steps into a higher level of anointing.  Gloria has seen healings, but not for ears.  She prayed for Norberto who has suffered with a hearing loss for 25 years — even having to tell his co-workers to “speak up.”  After prayer, even in the noise of the meeting ending, he could repeat even what we whispered behind him!

First, the younger girl, Louisa, received healing in her left ear from 2 years of hearing loss.  Many times there’s an anointing FOR healing when there’s a dramatic healing, so we had her lay hands on Elsa.  For 30 years she’s had pain and severe hearing loss.  Her ears popped, no pain, and she can hear!

Stephanie, one of our translators, prayed for Ashley.  She’s had pain in her right eye because she got hit in the eye 3 months ago.  We only had a minute to pray before we had to leave, but a minute is all Jesus needed to work through Stephanie, who had never seen an eye healed.  4 days later, Ashley was helping us pray for those in her church when we went back Sunday morning!  And Stephanie — she’s launched as a “little ‘ole me.”

Carol even got in on the healing.  This woman had large, painful tumors in her breasts, which she could feel.  After a couple minutes of prayer, with an astonished look on her face, she couldn’t find the tumors — they had completely disappeared!

ALL AROUND THE WORLD, GOD’S ON THE MOVE.

SHE SEES OUT OF BOTH EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME

She was born 31 years ago, crossed eyes, poor sight in her right eye, and no ability to focus out of both eyes at the same time.  The crossed eyes had been healed some time back, but the sight was still a problem.  At our meetings in a suburb north of Seattle recently, the pastor’s wife and I prayed and her right eye was healed.  But, the brain misfunction.  So, remembering a story I put in my book about Randy Clark praying for a young woman who had a severe brain misfunction after a car accident, and the prophetic act he did with her, I had the pastor’s wife put her forehead to the woman’s.  After about a minute, this was the result.  She was absolutely amazed that she was able to see both her hands out of both of her eyes at the same time.

ANOTHER BRAIN MISFUNCTION HEALED

We talk about not praying the same way every time — just because it worked the last time.  But, let’s not reinvent the wheel when God’s on something.  In our Healing Conference last weekend in Rock Island, IL, this woman told us she had been dyslexic all her life and she had difficulty learning new tasks.  So, I had one of our women team members put her foreheead to this lady’s forehead and pray.  She worked the next day from 4 AM to 6 PM LEARNING and IMPLEMENTING a new system.  She, and her co-workers, were amazed at her capacity to function that day, and she’s convinced the prayer made the difference.

I noticed a young teenager sitting in the meeting with this large, bulky rubber boot cast on her right foot during our first meeting in Fortaleza, Brazil last week.  When we went into prayer time, I got the chance to pray for her.  She had a severe sprain, it was swollen and discolored, and was very painful.  And, she was facing another 2+ weeks wearing the boot (which is how it sounded phonetically when our translator said the word in the title above).  After prayer, she was able to walk out carrying the Hobo Foutch.

Check out how she came to the meeting the next night — a definite improvement. No pain, no sprain, no discoloration, and no limping (although we guys don’t see how you women can wear such high heels without more problems).

Ok, we admit it.  We’re from San Diego, after all.  It was 80 degrees when we left for Wasilla March 9th — and our 42nd anniversary to boot.  Weenie Californians — it never got above 30 degrees, it was 4 at night, and the wind howled the entire time — and it was hot in the Spirit!

Great church.  We first went there 8 years ago and had an affect on the congregation.  They’ve walked in power ever since, and now have a ministry school, and have just started a Healing Rooms ministry.  So, we went to stir them up again, speak in the school and bless the ministry teams.  This is just a sampling of our time there.

LEAH

CAN’T FEEL THE METAL SCREWS
Leah stood as we activated people to pray for the pain caused by metal in the body to leave, and to restore flexibility.  She had had surgery on her ankle and they had placed pins and screws in there to stabilize it — but it caused pain and it was a problem. And, she could actually “feel” the screws in there. But after prayer in these meetings, she and her prayer minister couldn’t find the screws anymore, the flexibility had returned, and best of all the pain was gone.

C J

INSPIRED SPEECH — “HAMSTRING”
As I was praying over those who were standing for prayer during the first night of meetings in Wasilla, I heard myself saying something like “and Lord, release your power so hamstrings are lengthened.” Words came out that I hadn’t intended to say. But, it was the right word for C J. You’ll enjoy this testimony.

JOAN

SHE GOT HER ARM BACK
I just love it when someone’s life gets restored. And so blessed that it didn’t come through us, but two prayer team members at the NorthGate Alaska Church in Wasilla. Joan had fallen and completely wrecked her elbow. Lots of pain, very limited mobility, and metal plates, screws, etc in the elbow. It definitely restricted her life. The glow on her face as she demonstrated what had been restored to her said it all. Check out this great testimony.

We can’t say enough about the church — Dennis, Phil, the rest of the leadership team — thank you for making us feel special and welcome.  And thanks for giving us a great weekend of seeing what God can do — even in the frozen northlands.
