Street Healing Miracles: 5 Amazing Encounters in Winnipeg

On this night of street healing miracles at Portage Place in Winnipeg, God moved powerfully through our team. My 14-year-old grandson joined me for the 2nd time and experienced a lot of Kingdom releasing action. From blind eyes healed to a spiritual showdown with a demon-possessed man, here are 5 amazing street healing miracles from this unforgettable evening.

1. Iris’ Report: Blind Eyes Opened and Radical Love

What a beautiful evening at the mall last night. Just so amazed and in awe of God pouring His love and grace on people. A year ago I would never have had the courage to pray for healing. Tonight I laid my hand on a 10-year-old girl’s left blind eye, prayed for healing in Jesus’ name, and she could see!

So many other things happened. Read my friend’s report below, and rejoice in God’s radical love and grace. — Iris

2. Lorraine’s Report: God Things Everywhere

Wow! Went to the city tonight with some friends and fairly shortly after we got to the mall, lots of powerful God things happened all over the place! Blind eyes healed. Prayed for a plugged ear with hearing problems and woman healed in Jesus’ name! Prayed for damaged hip and tailbone with pain: Gone! Prayed for swollen ankles and leg area: Gone!

Prayed for emotional healing and addictions, and even had some deliverance from bondage to fear and addictions. Jesus, You are incredible! So many people kept coming along that we couldn’t keep up with all the needs. The Lord Jesus was moving so powerfully all over the place.

These street healing miracles were just a sampling of what God was doing that night. Our teams were overwhelmed by the number of people seeking prayer.

3. Sandra: Healing After a Fall

Hudson, Mel, and I spent a lot of time talking to a very intoxicated First Nations lady named Sandra who had fallen down some stairs and badly hurt her lower leg. She had such pain she couldn’t walk or even stand. She was waiting for an ambulance that never came.

We had a long talk with her, and she poured out the pain in her heart about so many troubles. One of the things she told us was that she just wanted to go back home to Cody, Saskatchewan, because there was just way too much drama on the streets of Winnipeg. At some point, Alyssa joined us and just loved on her. We prayed again for her leg, and it healed enough that she could make it on her own back into the mall. These are the kinds of street healing miracles that remind us why we go out every week.

4. Spiritual Showdown: Confrontation With a Demon-Possessed Man

At about 9:15 in the evening, a group of us were standing on the Promenade outside of Portage Place during debriefing. One of the team members, Trevor, was encouraging my grandson. He said he had been given a picture of fire in Hudson’s eyes and wanted to pray a blessing over him.

As he began to pray, I noticed a First Nations man across the street make a fast-paced b-line towards us. He was very focused and intense. He angrily confronted Trevor and held up his left hand, open fist, and told Trevor to put his hand on his. He then began to push against Trevor’s hand, commanding Trevor to stop resisting him.

It was very apparent that this was a spiritual standoff. He did say something about the Bible, and I did hear him say, “I don’t believe in your God.” I believe he was demon-possessed and the demon was using him to interrupt Trevor’s prayer encounter. Trevor stood firm, pushing back with his hand and commanding the spirit of anger to leave the man.

They stood facing one another for what seemed like several minutes, while Trevor and the rest of us were praying against the evil. The man was very determined and appeared very strong-willed. Suddenly, as the demon left, the man took a step back, bowed his head, and pulled his hand away from Trevor’s. The showdown was over, and of course, evil didn’t win.

5. A First Nations Pastor Wants to Connect

After the spiritual confrontation, Trevor offered to pray for the man, but he refused. He looked around at all of us, pointed at me and said, “You look like a priest.” I told him I was a Pastor. He then said, “I want to talk to just you.”

We moved away from the group and he told me he was a First Nations pastor who had a church in northern Manitoba. He was interested in what we were doing and wanted to connect. Even in the middle of a spiritual battle, God was orchestrating divine connections for the future of our street healing miracles ministry.
