healings, prophecies and encounters - a normal Church service!

A team of us were able to minister a few nights ago in a service dedicated to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. A number of different churches were represented - which is key because UNITY always releases more of God's Kingdom. We knew it was going to be a special night, especially when one of the Church members and his wife shared how he was healed that week of cancer! Our team began with an extended time of prophetic ministry - both personal and corporate words were given. It was just so encouraging for me to actually have to kind of put an end to this part of the ministry time. I remember the day when we were just hoping we got a prophetic word or two. Now I have to put a time limit. Truly a new day. Many words of knowledge had been given and one of our team prayed corporately for them all as those near to the people needing healing extended their hands. When I asked how many were already healed (or being healed and significantly better) something like 10 hands were raise...

word of knowledge and healing comes to waitress (and a whole lot more)

right before we were scheduled to have a healing service in a church (next blog post), the Lord "interrupts" our dinner in a nearby restaurant by giving me a word of knowledge as we walk in. I ask hostess if she has pain in the specific part of her upper back - she doesn't. I ask her to ask the other employees - which she didn't! That's o.k. because we found our person:). Our waitress comes up to take our order and I ask her. Initially she explains that she was in car accident which had affected her neck a bit. I had pointed to an area about 4 or 5 inches away from the neck but thought "close enough". Her neck problem wasn't causing her problems at the time. Desert Princess prayed for her and just released God's kingdom into her neck. A few minutes later comes back and tells us that when she went in the back she "remembered" that she had a condition that affected her in the EXACT SPOT where I received the word of knowledge and th...

Late Night Word

Late last night, my wife and I stopped in a drug store to get some stuff for our kids and as we walked in, I got a word for a heart condition. As we were checking out, I felt some pain in my leg so I asked the lady at the counter about her legs. She said no and asked why I had asked her. I explained that sometimes I feel other people's pain. I went on to ask her about a heart condition which she also didn't have. It then dawned on me that it was probably emotional. I asked her if she was experiencing any emotional problems and she just let loose with a story about how her alcoholic mother had just moved in with her. My wife and I were able to pray for her and encourage her.

Waiter, I'll have some shooba

Last night, my wife and I were eating in a restaurant and I got a word for our waiter's left shoulder. After dinner, (because, let's face it, you want to give words at the end of the dinner in case you're wrong and then it's not awkward the whole time you're eating) I asked him if he had a left shoulder problem. He looked surprised and then said, "Are you ready to see this?" He then pulled back his shirt and showed us where his left collarbone had been screwed back together. He looked at me and asked how I knew about it. I told him that God told me and that we wanted to pray for him. After he finished up his duties, my wife and I prayed for him and did a little prophesying over his life. We didn't see the screws disappear, but he said that words were on and that he could feel tingling in his shoulder where I had had my hand.
