kingdom adventures around town
Last night a few of us headed out to see what God would do. Most ministry seems to happen as we live our normal lives, but there is something special when we head out purely to be used of God. These ‘kingdom nights’ have ranged from great to forgettable, but normally if we keep going, eventually we’ll see God break into the lives of others. Sometimes that doesn’t happen until after 11PM at night though.
Before we got going last night, we worshipped for an extended period and wrote down the impressions and prophetic revelation the Lord gave us – this ranged from words of knowledge for people the Lord wanted to heal, locations in the city we should visit, and types/descriptions of people we will meet. As we headed to our first location, nothing much seemed to happen – words we gave to people were wrong, etc. We even chickened out on approaching a guy whose leg was so deformed that we didn’t have faith (being honest here). I was pretty discouraged and yet we pressed on and walked to another location we felt we should visit. About ½ way between the 2 locations, we see a couple of Sudanese Muslim men. This was significant because one of us had written down that we would meet a Sudanese man. We introduced ourselves, asked if they needed any healing. One guy was having stomach problems, we prayed for his stomach and the pain began to leave. During prayer, it became clear that the source of his problem was demonic because something began to move up my arm during prayer (fun huh?). When we finished, he said the pain was totally gone. Next we prayed for a guy who had chronic cough that would come during the night. He couldn’t tell us how it was because it only came during the night, but he felt God’s presence tingling all around his chest during prayer. Isaac of Ninevah also gave some accurate prophetic words to another one of these men. In the end, they asked if we could pray for the healing of one of their friends who would be arriving in the country in the next few days.
Next we head to a location that two of us had received independently during worship – confirmation is always awesome! It was a restaurant where we have seen God heal several times before. Isaac of Ninevah got prophetic words for one of the men which were accurate. The Syrian Muslim manager had some knee problems that had gotten worse while he had been in Syria. We prayed and the pain began to decrease. It became clear during prayer that he was also under some demonic spiritual attack which we prayed against. After praying a few times, we saw most of the pain leave. As we were leaving, his knees were still tingling. The Kingdom had come. I encouraged him to pray asking “Our Heavenly Father” to deliver him from evil when he was under spiritual attack in the night.
Nobody came to Jesus last night, but we ministered in the power of the Kingdom and pointed people to Christ. It was a night to sow – not just words, but prophetic revelation, deliverance and healing. May our Gospel always be more than mere words!
