Miracles until Midnight
Tonight the Kingdom of God came! After a time of teaching, immediately my friend T. began to prophesy over people and was hitting the mark with accurate revelation. Two weeks in a row, he has gotten into a anointed prophetic flow that has been amazing. Almost immediately the skeptics in the room were forced to deal with the reality of God breaking in. Talk is cheap and my message about the God's power would have simply been a nice 'gospel of words', but then the demonstration began - and what began with prophecy, led into some radical healings.
Several words of knowledge were given - all of which were ultimately claimed as conditions people had. One woman responded to a word of knowledge about foot pain in the right, bottom part of her foot. It turned out that she was struggling far more with a migraine headache which had left her with serious nausea. She had almost left the meeting at several different times. We went after the headache and to her astonishment God completely healed her of the migraine. She began to cry as she pondered the goodness of God in touching in such a tangible and critical way. Next we prayed for the foot problem - in a foot she had recently broken but which hadn't healed properly. As we prayed, the entire foot became extremely cold. It was cold only to her - we couldn't feel it. Interestingly, the woman who was laying hands on her foot was feeling heat in her hand - the very opposite sensation! We don't know the whole story because the Lord was still at work in healing the foot when we turned to minister to others, but she was able to move her toes without pain, which she couldn't do beforehand. I look forward to her full testimony regarding the foot - as we ended, there was still a sensation of coldness which indicated the Lord was still working even after we finished praying.
Next we prayed for a young man who had been hospitalized that very day because of severe back pain. The word of knowledge I received was in the exact location of where the pain had been centered - in the middle upper part of the back. We had to pray a few times, but to his amazement, the Lord took his pain away as well. He too had been in some very serious pain during the meeting and the Lord in His goodness broke in and touched him in his place of need.
Another man who had a condition came to me and as I had asked didn't tell me what it was. I had introduced the ministry time by saying that I wanted to let the Lord show me what people needed prayer for through words of knowledge. I got it wrong twice (Humility lessons!) and then on the 3rd attempt, I heard clearly, getting a word of knowledge about pain in the lower back on the left side - which was exactly where the problem was. We prayed and the Lord took away all of the pain in his lower back.
The next woman we came to had taken issue with some of the things I had said during my teaching time. I was encouraging the group to view God's goodness primarily through the revelation we have of God through Christ ("If you've seen me, you've seen the Father") rather than through OT passages which seem to paint a different picture. We MUST read the OT through the clearer, more complete revelation of the NT (i.e. the Life of Christ). As she came for prayer, the Lord gave me a clear word of knowledge about a problem in her jaws and she just began to weep. It was obvious that the Lord had truly given me a revelation. We prayed and the the Lord began to touch her pain and after several times of prayer, had taken her pain away. He also showed some other things prophetically that He touched in her life as well.
The final woman I was able to minister to came with a clear heaviness on her. As I began to pray, the Lord showed me that there was a problem in the middle, left side of her back. She verified that she in fact had a problem there - a knot in that areas since an automobile accident several months prior. He began to touch that very area and by the time we ended prayer, she could feel that the Lord had in fact ministered to the exact area. It would take some time - a few days - for her to be sure that the healing was/is complete as the problem didn't cause pain constantly - we look forward to the testimony!
Finally, a friend of mine came for one of the final words of knowledge I had given - for a superficial knee problem. As we prayed, the problem left her leg. While praying, the Lord also gave another word of knowledge about an elbow problem she had.
All in all, it was just an incredible night watching God do what ONLY He can do - heal the sick and release prophetic revelation. There was no other place I would have rather been tonight than co-laboring with Jesus to see Him manifest God's Kingdom. More Lord!
