we aren't even waiting for words of knowledge any more!
last night a group of us went out to "spill" (God's Kingdom) on people. We didn't know where He would lead us or who we would meet. We didn't spend an hour "soaking" and getting revelation before going out this time. Most of where we went had to do with practical things we needed to do - eat, run errands, book airline tickets, find an ATM machine, car accessories, find a guitar string, buy a bicycle pump, get a shave, etc. One of my ministry mottos is: "Shop until THEY drop" (i.e. under God's power).
Firstly, I was hungry so we went to an Iranian restaurant - where the manager's knee was healed last time we were there. This time another employee (Iranian shi'ite muslim) needed prayer for a stomach problem (digestive). We laid hands on his and God's Spirit began to touch him. Long after we stopped praying, God's healing presence was moving (his words) in his stomach.
A couple of stops later we were in car accessories shop. We had some words of knowledge that we asked the shop keeper about and he had one of the conditions that Isaac asked him about. He was a muslim from Indian and simply refused to let Isaac lay hands on him and pray. At this point, I extended my hand to kind of say goodbye, put his hand in Isaac's hand and he quickly released the Kingdom in a few words only. The man checked himself out and he was HEALED!
After that we found ourselves in the Apple Store (Mac's & Ipods - not fruit). I sensed we should go there (partially so I could see the MacBook Air again!). Anyway, there were two Lebanese muslims working there. One had a back problem that we prayed for but saw no breakthrough (even after several times of praying). I thought there might be something "blocking" the Holy Spirit and sure enough there was a major issue of unforgiveness/bitterness that he was in the middle of that started the DAY BEFORE! I say that because of course we can all think of broken relationships that we could probably attribute blockage to, but this was clearly THE ISSUE for this man. I believe Isaac also gave some prophetic words to him (he'll blog about that).
The other employee had an injury in the pectoral muscle in his chest. I prayed for that and we tested it out - all the pain left. He was healed.
We bounced around a bit more asking anybody and everybody we could find if they needed a miracle of healing. We aren't even waiting for words of knowledge anymore! Many said they didn't need prayer, but would ask for our phone numbers IN CASE ANY OF THEIR FRIENDS DID.
Our last stop was a shopping area where I thought I could find a guitar string - which I didn't. Our first location of ministry was a Pizza parlor. We tried to minister to the manager intially (because if the manager gets touched, the employees will get 'breaks' to come for further ministry). One of the other employees, a Filipino woman, had walked into a window the day before and had a large, painful bump on her head. We couldn't really lay hands on her, so we asked her to put her hand on the affected area and we prayed a quick prayer. To all of our surprise, God just healed her instantly. I say to "our surprise" because none of us could remember the last time we had had breakthrough with injuries that had just occured.
She was SHOCKED!! We love it when that happens. Anyway, she starts TESTIFYING and the next thing we know we are now ministering to several different people. Isaac continued ministering prophetically to our new 'healed' friend (he'll share about that) and I found a muslim employee who had a couple of the problems in the leg that the Lord had given me by two words of knowledge. He had an injury on his shin that was painful, swollen and bloody. It was hurting him before I prayed, but afterwards ALL the pain was gone.
Our Pizza parlor stop was unusual in the sense that we saw two recent injuries, still causing constant pain, swollen - healed INSTANTLY! Our faith increased!
Finally, we went in for head massages (no suffering for Jesus here!) and a shave. One of the men, a Nepali hindu man, had a headache. Eventually he let us pray for it and was healed.
Not a bad night - alot of the words of knowledge we got for people along the way weren't right (or at least weren't claimed), but God just kept encouraging us with a number of healings - which of course opened the door to talk about THE HEALER!
