JOEL 2 GENERATION

while we were praying for the man's ankle, I got a word of knowledge for the man's father who was with us during the prayer time. I walked over and asked what was wrong in his chest near his heart. He explained that the anxiety related to his son's condition (and some other problems he was facing) caused his heart to race. I asked if I could lay hands on him and pray. As I prayed, the presence of God came on this man. I blessed him, his family and just released God's Kingdom on him. He said he felt incredible peace come over him and sensed God was doing something in him. We love it when one healing prayer leads to another.....

the day after our treasure hunt, I received a call from one of the muslim men I spoke with the night before. I had been looking for an ankle problem and he hobbled by on crutches as we were about to leave. Anyway, he called me to tell me he wanted me to come and pray for his ankle - which had a tumor. My father-in-law (who also heals the sick) and I head out to meet the man and walk into a room full of Gulf Arab muslim men (and one Egyptian man - who happened to be a Coptic Christian). This man was incredibly open (the Egyptian had been praying for him and he had even been praying some of the prayers this Coptic man had given him). We prayed for his ankle (which was in a cast) and he began to feel the presence of God. I told him he would feel something, but he couldn't actually describe the feeling. We prayed again to bless what God was doing and asked Him to increase it. By the end of our prayer time (and even until the time we left), this man was feeling a strange sensation...

before I continue with this post, I want to encourage you to get a copy of Kevin Dedmon's book, "The Ultimate Treasure Hunt" (Destiny Image). This book may "capture" better than any other book since John Wimber's "Power Evangelism" the essence of ministering to the lost in supernatural power - it is incredibly practical too, which makes it one of the most practical books I've ever seen about "doin the stuff" (as Wimber used to say). anyway, last night we introduced a group to "treasure hunting" - we started by waiting on the Lord to give us pieces of the "treasure map" - we wrote down conditions that we felt He wanted to heal (neck pain, lower back pain, knee problems), places we felt He wanted us to go (i.e. a restaurant with a red and yellow sign), and things we were to look for (red convertible with a man named "Khalid", man in a bright yellow shirt, etc.). We broke into two groups and headed out to ...

As I was waiting in a government office, I got a word of knowledge about someone with a wrist problem. I had thought it was for the government official that was in front of me, but then he left and another man came in. So I asked him, "do you have pain in your wrists?". He said he did and I asked him to give them to me. I just began to pray in Jesus' Name and release God's kingdom. After I was done, I asked them how they felt and he said, "there is no more pain". He asked me what I had done. I explained to him that I had prayed for him and God had healed him. We didn't exchange numbers so I'll have to head back to tell him more about this Kingdom that invaded his office!
