JOEL 2 GENERATION

Last night Star and I were at the home of some friends, who in turn had also invited a neighbour couple ("H" & "N"), who are of the Hindu religion. At one point during the evening we explained to H and N about the Christian understanding of prayer - how it is like coming to a loving Father. We asked H and N if we could pray with them, and they agreed. I asked if there was anything specific, and the husband (H) said that for two months he'd been battling depression. As I prayed, I held H's hand as I asked God to shine a light to pierce his inner darkness, and I commanded fear and anxiety to be banished from him. When I finished praying, H didn't want to let go of my hand - he said he felt energy flowing into him! Furthermore, our host said that during the prayer, he had a vision of a black substance (like crude oil) draining out of H. Wow! We pray that this is the start of a new life for H and N.

I haven’t posted all summer, but it has been eventful. While on holiday in North America, we shared with many people about what God is doing. We prayed for many who are sick, in body and in spirit. During the summer, the Lord also gave me many vivid dreams and revelatory insights. Here is a brief list of some of the things that my wife (Star) and/or I have seen God do in the last two months: After a time of prayer, a strained relationship between a mother and her adult daughter began to show significant signs of improvement. We prayed over a child’s bedroom so that the child could sleep better at night, and not awake suddenly full of fear. After this, the child could sleep much better without going to her parents’ room during the night. The Lord shone light into the shadowy secret life of a man’s porn addiction, putting hope in his heart about the reality of deliverance. We prayed for a man who had come to us with a chronic back condition – he ...

As I left the Donut shop in tears reflecting upon God's outrageous goodness and the awesome privledge it is to co-labor with Him, I am walking by a dry cleaners and a word of knowledge comes for the middle left-hand side/back. I walk in and ask the owner if he has a problem in that specific spot. Initially he was hesitant, but then he told me that 'yes' he did in fact have a problem in that very spot - although it wasn't hurting at that particular time. I asked him to give me his hand - I prayed for the Kingdom to come in that place. I know it isn't going to be a problem any longer. As I began to leave, he asked me to "please come back anytime". I should have offered him a donut!!

Did you know than when the owner of a donut shop gets radically healed, you most likely get free donuts? This morning while on a prayer walk, I went to my favorite donut hang out and overheard a customer asking the owner "what happened to your arm"? She described a nightmare situation wherein an elderly male with dementia attacked her in the assisted living home she works in for her 2nd job. He pulled her arm way up behind her back and threw her to the ground. She was in obvious pain with little ability to move her arm/shoulder without extreme discomfort. I offered to pray and we went to the back of the shop - she seemed more comfortable than in public. I prayed the 1st time and about 1/2 the pain left and she was able to lift the arm with alot less pain. As I heard her still describe to her customers the lingering problem, I knew I had to pray again. Jesus NEVER left anybody 50% better - and I was determined to 'accurately represent Him' this morning. We went ba...

As I acted as a "catcher" for a husband/wife ministry team, I kept getting a word of knowledge for a left knee problem. Since I would move along with the couple as they ministered, catching anybody who might hit the deck, I figured it was for one of them. I then approached the wife afterwards and asked if she or her husband had a left knee condition - she said, "Yes, my left knee was really bothering me last night". I prayed briefly, and then a few minutes later I had my wife and a number of people from our Church lay hands on her and really go after the healing. We don't know the outcome yet because it wasn't hurting when we prayed, but we know that God doesn't give words of knowledge for our entertainment - they represent His Kingdom priorities at the moment.

While at a conference, the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for a wrist problem in the left wrist. I asked the woman who I was talking to and it wasn't for her. Her friend however said that she had the problem. We prayed and she said the felt the affliction literally leave out through a part of her body! I asked if there was any more pain. She said, "No, I told you it just left my body!". So much for my giant faith.
