God speaks to former Muslim girl

Several weeks ago, a new believer had a dream about a silver ring she wears breaking into 3 parts. She asked us what it meant. At the time, all I said was that I believed the Lord was removing the silver ring to put a gold one on your finger. A few days ago this same girl told Desert Princess that she was hearing her name called out in the night. She didn't know if it was God or if it was from some other source. Desert Princess told her the story of young Samuel and Eli and instructed her to respond like Samuel if she heard it again. That same night the voice came spoke to her and said, "I want you to take off the ring" (i.e. the silver ring). It was given to her by a young man but since she has come to Christ, it was becoming clear to us that this relationship wasn't going to help her growth. Those of us who are in her life didn't even have to say a thing - God did it for us.

new believer learns about spiritual warfare

A young Gulf Arab woman, who came to faith a few months ago, is quickly learning about the supernatural. She has had Kingdom dreams and the Lord Himself even visited her in one dream and healed her heart. A few days ago I was in need of God's healing touch due to an injury. My family prayed, Isaac of Ninevah prayed and I didn't notice a difference. When she prayed for me after them, she felt power come out of her and immediately the pain associated with my injury decreased probably 50%. She was very encouraged - it was the first time she had seen herself used in divine healing. While she was praying, she also got her first word of knowledge - pinpointing the area where I was injured. That also encouraged her. However, after that the enemy really was able to come against her and she actually began to suffer physically and was having difficulty breathing. She called us in a very fearful state. I prayed with her initially and the pain left and she could breathe again norm...

when nothing happens

To only write about the successes, when we see miracles happen, without also talking about the failures, would be to paint an unrealistic picture. Tonight we had the chance to follow up with an Egyptian Muslim who nearly lost his life in a horrific car accident that took his younger brother's life. He never should have lived according to the doctors, but I met him several days ago and offered to pray that God would bring more healing to his body. We met for coffee with another Muslim friend of his. Sojourner was with me. After some testimonies and some explanation as to how Christians minister healing, we made our way to my house to be able pray in a more conducive environment. It is an understatement to say this guy needed healing - there were multiple things to go after - he had limited movement in his knees and ankles, metal rods in both of his legs and due to a botched surgery one leg was 4cm shorter than the other. He also revealed a massive hernia that protruded from his ...
