#66 – Healing Touch Rattles Folks
This week I was with Lorraine, Brahm, Claire, and Cheyenne. Take a look at Lorraine’s report below to get an overview of the whole evening. There’s just a little snid bit that she wasn’t there for so I’ll add that in.
We talked to Ryan who spoke with Lorraine and others last week, Ryan told us that he heard voices and he received prayer. So this week we asked him how he’s been doing, he told us when the voices came again he just told them to shut up and they have been quieter since then. We prayed for him again this week and he experienced warmth throughout his body and comfort.
I am super excited for Jesus to show up again next week!!!
My team was made up of Clair, Sheyenne, Brahm, and Jeremiah. We had an incredible evening! Absolutely amazing. [As a leader I didn’t feel like I needed to do much of anything by way of leading—the team just stepped up and the level of boldness and passion just started pouring out of them. I think their faith went from 0 to 60 in five seconds! It was a privilege and honour to watch the Lord move in and through them like that! Way to go team. You’re incredible in the way you love people and step out.]
Just as we parked on Ellice and got out of our vehicles, a man and woman arrived. The husband was Adrian and his wife was Darlene. Darlene was in a wheelchair holding a power drink, and both had been drinking. The woman’s leg was broken or seriously damaged, although she had no cast on, due to an accident where she was hit by a vehicle. Her right arm had also been seriously damaged. Jeremiah, bless his heart, boldly approached her and asked her if she was in any pain. She replied that her left leg was in pain and she could not walk (thus the wheelchair). She was in about a 8 out of 10 pain. Jeremiah prayed for her leg and gently laid his hand on her damaged, hurting leg. He commanded all pain to leave. Then stepped back and asked her how she felt. She said that the pain had immediately gone down! Then he prayed again and the pain left! Our group began to pray for complete healing and suddenly she decided to try it out and pushed herself up from the wheelchair. And then she began to slowly walk around, absolutely in shock (and so were we to be honest as it was just that quick!)
As she walked around her wheelchair on the sidewalk her husband stood there in some amount of shock. She kept saying over and over again, “I’m (expletive swear word) walking honey!” “Look I’m (bleepin) walking!!” And she just kept walking in a circle and back and forth (slowly at first, but obviously using her damaged leg), and she would keep crying out that she could walk now and was absolutely over the moon with joy! We actually attracted a crowd for a bit. Anyway, Darlene went and sat down and we prayed for her right arm and the pain left. As she sat there another younger man and his girlfriend walked by and we told them what had just happened to Darlene. He was a bit ticked with us and told us to leave her alone, but then we explained that we had just prayed for her and God healed her of her broken, damaged leg and she could now walk. So Darlene stood up and got out of the wheelchair again and he just freaked out and ran away he was so startled! We tried to call him back and he was too shocked and afraid. Then we prayed for Adrian, Darlene’s husband. As it turns out he was a believer and so we asked if we could pray for his alcoholism. He was so ready to be done with that demon in his life. We prayed and there was some deliverance that happened right then and there on the sidewalk as his eyes moved and he started to show the manifestation of some unclean spirits. So we broke them off in the name of Jesus, and then we asked him if we could pray that God would fill him. He agreed to let us pray again. We prayed for the Spirit of God to come and fill Adrian. Suddenly he started to slowly fall down onto the sidewalk! He couldn’t stand and tell us it felt like electricity was running from his head down his body. We told him that was the Holy Spirit filling him. He was totally overcome by the manifest presence of God.
Next, we prayed for Gelani because she was so hungry for more of Jesus in her life (she is a strong believer), and God began to fill her with his love and presence. As that happened suddenly many words of prophecy were released! And she was standing there taking Him in and smiling the whole time! Not sure who got blessed more there: Gelani or us who prayed for her at the time. It was awesomeness being in His presence!!
Michelle’s Report:
I was in Ed’s group. Towards the end of the night on main street I met Mary I had just given her and two others bottles of water. She looked at me and thanked me for what I was doing. I came to her and asked if I could pray for her, she said yes. She shared that she lost twins and she was staying at the Yale hotel waiting for answers. There wasn’t an autopsy being performed. She mentioned she knew Jesus once but had fallen away. At first, I was so stunned with her sharing the loss of her twins with me. I hugged her, I did this several times letting her know how Jesus loves her and has his arms wide open for her. I prayed for her what was in my heart. I was able to give a card about H2O and asked her to consider calling at Zion. So many live with condemnation feeling they are not good enough to seek Jesus. I was thankful I could let her know Jesus knew about her and loves her just as much now as when she first came to know Him.
