The strongest word of knowledge in my life!

After a bit of a slow start to the evening, we found ourselves in an Arab restaurant, where we had seen some healings before.

As I was getting out of my car to enter, I got a word of knowledge for someone needing healing in the middle of the back. When we asked, it was for one of the waiters who we had prayed for a couple of months before.

The manager, a Syrian Muslim, came over and sat down complaining about pain in his right knee - I told him that I had gotten several words this week for right knees and was glad to finally find the person the word was for. I think Isaac of Ninevah also had a word for a right knee. We laid hands upon him and prayed - all the pain left the knee.

While praying, I got a word about a problem in his neck on the right-hand side. He had pain there. We prayed again - result: no more pain.

After receiving two healings himself, the manager exhorted his employee (an Egyptian Muslim who had the back problem) to come over for his healing. While we began to minister to him, Isaac had some prophetic words which were describing his situation exactly. He has been gripped with fear since his childhood - the Lord told Isaac and myself how old he was when the problem started. Due to the complexity of this root of fear and also the demonic nature of it, we opted to not minister deliverance there in the restaurant but to arrange for an outside ministry-time - he agreed.

We did have his back to pray though and as we began to move towards healing prayer, the Lord gives me a word of knowledge about the underside of his right forearm. He had an ongoing problem with regular pain. Just as I wanted to pray for that, a far more powerful word came about a heart problem - seriously, it came so strongly that I got a bit scared. It was the strongest word of knowledge I have ever received. If it hadn't been for him, I would have asked to go to the emergency room!

We prayed for his heart - he felt the Lord's presence and said he noticed a marked difference. Next we prayed for the arm and all the pain left and finally we prayed for his back and the Lord came upon him and he testified to the presence of God moving all up and down his back. When we finished he said there was no pain at all - he would check the next day and call back to confirm as sometimes the pain would come and go. We encourage verification!!!

We got to share the Gospel with this man and explain that unless he was born again and received the Holy Spirit of God living within him, the problems he has had for years with the demonic would never go away. We gave him an Arabic New Testament and told him to meditate on two passages - 1 John 4 and Matthew 12.

A slow night that ended in 4 or 5 healings for a Syrian and an Egyptian - prophetic words spoken, the Gospel shared, and a NT being given. We'll take that!
