Woman healed! Woman with MS feels the presence of God during prayer!

Tonight a few regulars and some visitors went out to a Downtown amusement part shopping area to release the power of the kingdom.

Today was interesting. We really had to press through. However, we saw the power of the kingdom manifest at a new level.

We stopped a short woman who was walking with a cane. We asked the reason for her cane, then would she accept prayer? She agreed. We prayed, she began to feel release. We prayed more and she was able to straighten up and walk upright, something she could not do for four years!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked her if she had a relationship with God to which replied, " I am angry at God" I asked her if she was ready to forgive God, she said yes with tears. I led her in a simple prayer of forgiveness towards God, she cried, her heart was softened. We prayed for her husband to release healing through his hands and prayer in greater authority.

So here is the bottom line, the woman got a healing and then forgave God!

Selah.


The team continued on. Today we experienced more refusals for prayer than usual, however we continued on our way with our treasure hunt papers in hand.

Two of us had the same clue. Orange flip flops. Last week, when we both had the same three clues, it led someone who accepted the Lord. So, lesson learned. Pay attention when clues are duplicated! So, we kept our eyes peeled for orange flip flops.

We'd been walking for some time when we finally saw a person with orange flip flops. We caught up with the woman and her family, explained we were on a treasure hunt looking for the very thing she was wearing. She liked the fact that she was our treasure. Then we explained we prayed for our clue, which was OK, she even let us pray. However, when we began to pray for unstated healing issues, her husband became uncomfortable and stopped the prayer when our words of knowledge seemed to hit too close to home. They were uncomfortable, best to honor them so the whole experience is not leave a negative impact. We had been expecting a great encounter due to the fact that two team members got the same clue for orange flip flops. We chalked it up to more to be revealed.

However . . ..

Later, after ministering to a couple people, on our way to our cars, we found a store with orange flip flops hanging on a display at the door. We entered, two male clerks began talking with us. We told them we're on a treasure hunt, pointed to the orange flip flops. Started explaining how we got the clues, which had an interesting impact on them, when in walks "lisa", another clerk. I see her name, grab my paper and pull her into the conversation. The name Lisa was a clue on my paper! I explain to her what we are doing, show her my two clues, orange flip flops and Lisa, another team member shows her his clue, belt buckle, which she was wearing. She was amazed, said she knew Jesus, and is Mormon. We asked if we could pray to bless her, she said yes. I am not going to argue about her religion while she is working, she was willing to let me pray for her, which I did. I stood side to side with her and hugged her from the side, prayed over her trusting that this was all God was asking me to do at the moment. I concluded the encounter by reminding her that it was Jesus who gave us the clues, and Jesus who sent us to find her. She could not wait to call a friend and explain what had just happened she was so impacted!

Our team member R. saw a woman limping before she sat to rest. He approached asking if she would allow us to pray for her since she was seen limping. She explained that she has MS and had just been telling her niece only moments before that after 26 years of battling the disease she was having a hard time maintaining faith. Then R. walks up and offers to pray for her! Come On! God is breaking in! She got it, is a believer and allowed us to pray.

She felt tingling in her leg as we prayed, we pressed in and prayed some more in the other leg, though she did not feel anything in that leg, we prayed again with her permission. Then two of us prophesied over her which she received, we prayed some inner healing, prayed encouragement. Following prayer she remarked at the timing of the encounter, she was greatly touched by God's intentional break in at a moment she felt weak in her faith. GOD IS SO GOOD, HIS GOODNESS ABOUNDS.

We stopped to talk with a woman who was wearing a wrist brace. She allowed us to pray, which we did three times. She felt nothing, and no change. She was agreeable to prayer for only so long and then it became apparent, even though we told her the story of the first woman who could stand up straight after four years, that we needed to stop. We told her that sometimes people see their healing manifest later, and if that indeed happened, give glory to God. Not everyone we pray for feels something happen, but I am praying for the day when all will.

It was a good day out, two woman were tangilby changed after encountering God. One stood up straight, feeling that indeed muscles and ligaments had lengethend as we asked in prayer. She forgave God for her anger, and committed herself back to Him in tears. Another woman was strengthened in her faith, received an encounter with the Holy Spirit, and was renewed in her faith. A mormon came in contact with Jesus in a way she had not yet experienced, was eager to share the news with a friend, seeds planted! Two other people received prayer which came up against belief systems and fear which interviened during the encounter. God is good, and I trust that He will continue to reach out to them in the future in other ways.

Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
