God's Power amongst the poorest of the poor

Two of us were taken to a part of the city where the poorest people in this Arab Muslim country resided. Human feces in the middle of the dirt alleyways. Flies everywhere. One room homes made of whatever could be found to throw together a crude shelter. This is EXACTLY the kind of place that Jesus likes to hang out – and it was a powerful time. As we gathered in a small one room home, the presence of the Lord filled the place. We had gone to pray specifically for a woman with a brain tumor. The Lord showed me the location of the tumor through a word of knowledge and we believe this woman was touched. We await medical verification about the tumor, but she received healing in her body of several other ailments. The Lord just revealed to us sickness after sickness through words of knowledge. The Lord began to speak prophetically through the other man who came with me. He was also able to really minister some inner healing to a specific Muslim woman.

We saw pain leave people’s bodies. We got to set one woman free from demonic torment – the pain kept moving from place to place and as we moved into deliverance prayer, the pain finally left right out of one of her hands. What was the most encouraging, was to see the way others pressed in for ministry after another one was healed and gave testimony to the others.

Of course we got to speak clearly about the Lord Jesus Christ as He demonstrated to these poverty-stricken Arab Muslims His love and His power. It was during this visit that I was overcome by the power and presence of God unlike any other time on the trip. It was also in the wake of this ministry time that I saw an increase in frequency and accuracy in the word of knowledge.

God truly has a special place in His heart for the poor – they were truly the hungriest Muslims we met and were the most open to our ministry.
