JOEL 2 GENERATION

the other day my family and I were distributing food to the poor and needy. after each person/family received what they needed, we had the chance to pray for their needs. One man was an Iranian muslim man who let me pray for him. While praying the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for the very part of his body that hurt and needed healing. After praying, he testified that all the pain was gone and he was healed. Another woman let us pray and I got a word for a back problem she had. We prayed and she could feel God's presence come into her back. When we finished, she wasn't completely healed at that point, but because of the physical manifestation of God's healing power in her back, she knew He was doing something supernatural. there is something very special that happens when we minister to those who are truly desperate and needy. Jesus revealed that those who are "poor in Spirit" receive the Kingdom of God - that term describes those we ministered to exact...

This past Wednesday night, I got to share with a fellowship in my city. After teaching for some time, I and Ravished got the opportunity to pray for some of the members of this group. I'm not sure of the details for Ravished-- I'll let him blog his own. As for me, many people came to me wanting prayer for different areas of their lives and for impartation. The pastor was the first one up. How many times does that happen? The deeper I go into the supernatural, the more I realize that there are many things the Lord wants to do among His people and all of them are as equally valid. I have had to repent of thinking that if I don't get some really specific word for someone that I haven't really ministered to them. Person after person in this fellowship didn't have a thing wrong with them or any major problems in their lives; they just wanted more of the Lord. I released divine creativity, boldness, courage, wisdom and got to play Santa for Jesus by releasing the...

Last night some of the guys and I went out on our usual Kingdom treasure hunt (where we go where God leads and pray for the people we find there, etc.). We stayed out much later than usual and drove all over the city and even into the country looking for people to pray for. We went to place after place and before giving up and going home, I had given four wrong words of knowledge that didn't even get a question! This is about how it went several different times: "Do you have a pain here?" "Nope." "Here?" "Nope." "Everything is good? No pain anywhere?" "Nothing." "Ok. Good night." "Good night." So, as I went to bed last night, I was thinking about how we did end up with a phone number of a guy who might call. He seemed loney, but that was about it. I thought to myself, "Nothing blogworthy from tonight." However, as I sat down to write about some things from other times this week, it stru...

This afternoon while waiting in a classroom, the Lord gave me a very clear word of knowledge for the teacher's lower right arm (below the elbow). I asked her what was wrong in that specific place. She in fact had a painful problem in that very area and had actually been up much of the night before in pain for that condition. I asked if I could pray explaining that God was going to heal the problem. As I began to pray, I could physically feel the healing take place in her arm. After prayer, all the pain was gone and she said she was healed. This is normal christianity - don't let anybody tell you differently!!!

"Impartation" is a widely misunderstood concept in the Kingdom - either it seems to be horribly neglected or cheaply abused. On my recent trip to a Middle Eastern country, I was asking God for impartation - I had anointed men and women pray for me and I believe I left that muslim country having received something from God - new GRACE to further His Kingdom. The funny thing about impartation is you don't really know what you got until you try to give it away. Last night, an opportuntity afforded itself in a group of hungry and desperate believers to see what the Lord had given me. I began to share the stories of what God had done on our trip, about the encounters with God and about the miraculous lives of believers we met there. One woman's life in particular in that nation is a sign and a wonder - miracles have been happening in and around her for several decades. She prayed for us, anointed us with oil, and I KNEW (because I physically felt God doing somethin...

I was at the mall shopping for Christmas presents, when I noticed an Arabic antiques vendor limping around. As I was paying for my gifts, I asked him what had happened to his leg. He smiled and began to tell me how he had fallen off a motorcycle and broken his leg. I asked him if he had any pain and if I could pray for him to be healed. He said that the pain was not that intense, but that it mostly hurt when he went to sit down or do something strenuous. Before I had a chance to ask him again if he would like to be healed right then, he pulled out a huge folder from behind his counter and proceeded to pull out his X-Rays. He held them up to the light in the middle of his shop and showed me how his bone was cracked in two and how he had this hard core metal brace strapped to the bone to keep the leg in place. After a bit of conversation between the two of us he allowed me to lay my hands on him and pray for Gods kingdom to come and completely heal the leg in Jesus name. I then...
