JOEL 2 GENERATION

These past two weeks we have seen God break in all over our city in demonstrations of power, resulting in the sick being healed, the oppressed being set free and people turning their hearts to Jesus. It has been an amazing time of acceleration and increase. DJ has touched on some of this already in his posts, but we had a group of revivalists come in from the USA to equip and empower the people of God in our area to step out in signs and wonders, and over the span of two weeks in two different countries we saw well over 300 miracles.   Most of the miracles happened on the streets or in malls, but God did so much that I have lost count of all the healings that took place. On the second day that we had the group with us we went down to the old part of town with the intention of praying for the sick and releasing destiny through the prophetic. We were walking around for about half an hour but were having a difficult time communicating with people due to a language barrier. I felt duri...

While sending off our team of radical revivalists (who were returning to N. America after having destroyed the works of the devil here in the Middle East for nearly two weeks), I saw an African man with one of the craziest hats I've ever seen. I approached him and said, "anyone who wears a hat like that deserves prayer". He was from Nigeria and we began to talk about the power of God. He said he was a professional runner. At that point, I declared, "you run the 400 meters and your fastest time is 47 seconds". He said, "47 flat". No doubt one of the strangest prophetic words/declarations I have ever made. I left the group of Holy Ghost wildmen and women to minister to our new friend as I had to go meet someone at the arrival lounge. I can't wait to hear what happened. Needless to say, God opens the strangest doors in the most unusual ways!!!

As a team of us spread out over the city to take a total of 9 church meetings, we saw God move powerfully - in healing, with accurate prophetic words and people having encounters with Jesus. Again we lost count, but there were OVER 100 miracles of healing that we were able to count - including a deaf ear opening. I wasn't able to hear all the stories but in the two church services that I was in, we saw knees, feet, shoulders, migraine headaches and chronic back pain healed. Some were healed as words of knowledge were released, others when we laid our hands on people and some when we just released "waves of healing" into the fellowships. God heals in so many different ways! As for the deaf ear, I was standing right next to a radical Canadian Joel 2 Generation forerunner as he ministered healing to a man completely deaf in one of his ears. By the time he stopped, the completely deaf ear had opened to about 60% - we know God is faithful to complete the work He began. Th...

We had been invited to come and minister healing to a Syrian muslim man - his relative had encountered the Lord when we ministered to him and so it took a few weeks, but finally we were able to get to his uncle's house. After praying for several things he needed healing from - including a blocked nasal cavity, we contended for him to enter into an encounter with the Lord. As we worshipped around him and released the Kingdom, he began to have a vision - a very detailed vision that really helped unlock a spirit of fear upon His life which was causing a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty about his future. A group of us were there and the Lord began to give us the interpretation of the vision - which went all the way back to a traumatic childhood experience. What was the most incredible thing was that he initially had the vision and then came out of it. We would give some interpretation and pray for him. He would then enter back into the same vision and pick up EXACTLY WHERE HE ...

1. when you heal the owners of restaurants, you get offered free food & drinks? 2. when a manager get healed, you get to pray for all the other sick/injured employees? 3. when you see a Iranian muslim restaurant owner healed, he takes a huge amount off your final bill? (like 30%) 4. when you see a Greek restaurant owner healed, you get to enjoy a free bottle of wine together? 5. when you prophesy over Sudanese muslim camel herders, you get free camel rides? THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE FUNNY THINGS WE LEARNED THIS PAST WEEK!!!!

Yesterday seemed to be the day of restaurant healings. At lunch, after seeing God break into a souvenir shop with some words of knowledge and prophetic words for some muslim women, we headed over to get an ice cream at a nearby restaurant AND to see what God would do. Wanting to get off to a good start, I asked who the manager was. I explained that I was with a group of "miracle workers" and offered to help any of his employees who might need healing or something. To demonstrate, I grabbed his hand and asked the Lord to give me a word of knowledge for him personally. Almost immediately, the Lord revealed that he had a neck problem - which he confirmed to be the case. Actually it was a problem in the lymph nodes and he was scheduled for surgery. Interestingly, his surgery had already been cancelled/postponed twice. We of course told him why that was!!! We prayed and the Lord began to come upon him and the swelling began to go down. Pain left his neck area. I don't...

Since my last post, we have seen dozens of miracles of healing. I can't even remember all of them, but I will try to summarize a few more of them here. - Tibetan Buddhist family - prophesied over the mother, a word of knowledge for her son's wrist - HEALED! - 3 muslim men healed in a Fish & Chips shop - knee (after a word of knowledge), neck(after another word of knowledge) and a back problem. - Iraqi muslim man - we prophesied over him. he confirmed the accurate words. will bring friends who need physical healing. - Eritrean woman - Lord highlighted them indicating one of them needed healing. She came to the church and had an encounter with God and was healed of a couple of things. - Greek "atheist" - actually more of an agnostic. healed of chronic back pain. His first words after being healed, "JESUS CHRIST" (my friend said to him, "EXACTLY"). After that, we were able to pray for and see one of his Croatian employees healed. - during c...

While in a neighboring country I approached a local man in an Arabic sweet shop to ask for directions to a juice bar. While in his shop I got a word of knowledge for an ankle. I asked him if he was the one with the ankle problem, but he wasn’t. He did however have a massive skin disease that seemed to cover his whole body. I asked him through a translator I happened to have with me if I could pray for him to be healed of his condition right their in the shop. He looked at me kind of strange with a nervous smile on his face, but he let me put my hands on him to pray. After I prayed the man said he could not tell any difference right then, but I assured him that something had been set into motion when I prayed and that he would begin to notice in the next few days the skin begin to clear up. I then began to prophesy over him and his business. The man was extremely touched by the prophetic, so much so that he felt compelled to bless me with a traditional Arabic sweet bowl. I noticed on a ...

This past week we have seen God break out in signs and wonders all over the place. We have a group of revivalists from America in our region and they are passionate about seeing the works of the devil destroyed and people transformed by the love of God. I will be posting in a series of blogs in the next couple of days that kind of cover just some of the breakthroughs we have seen, as there have truly been hundreds. Today I got the opportunity to go with the team into a neighboring nation to pray for the sick and prophesy destiny over the people there. I walked up to the window of a kiosk we were at on the roadside and asked the man behind the counter if he had a problem with his back. The man looked at me startled and immediately pointed to his back. I asked if i could pray and he motioned anxiously or me to come around and come inside his kitchen. So my wife and I went around the side and met the man. He pulled down his pants slightly and pointed to his lower back and tail bone. He sa...
