Kingdom comes in Lebanon - Beirut
We had a great conference with many on-fire Lebanese Christians who are longing to touch their nation with more and more of God's Kingdom power. This is a report of the night we launched out into Beirut to see what God would do.
City Mall, Beirut, Lebanon - with large group of Lebanese believers wanting to see and participate in "power spilling", we headed to one of the main malls in Beirut. We had a camera with us to record some of things the Lord would do. What followed far exceeded anything that any of our team expected. We broke into three group, one led by Isaac of Ninevah and another by Sanctified Surfer. I took my group to the top floor and just kind of asked the Lord what I should do. I sensed I should just approach a group of teenagers and ask them if they wanted to see a miracle. Within in a couple of minutes, I have a group of 5 interested Lebanese teens who want to see something miraculous. Another young woman with a headache and stomach problems voluneered to be the first person to be healed. One of the teens who I had approached had extremely hot hands. I instructed him to lay hands on the head of the girl with the headache. She was healed. Then one of the girls on my team prayed for her stomach which was healed. When I looked up to see what was happening around us,our little group of about 10 people had grown to about 75 onlookers. The mall security and asked us if we had 'authorization' from the administration. We didn't and so we had to actually go outside the mall to continue praying for the sick.
A large group followed us, which was remarkable when you consider how cold it was outside the mall. There were people who needed a miracle, others who were curious and still others who came to mock what we were doing. As person after person came forward, God's healing power was moving and we saw so many people healed that we actually lost count. Back problems, migraine headaches, stomachs, knees, shoulders, arms, etc. etc. It was unbelievable what God was doing. It was a public statement to a group of both Christians and muslims that Jesus is in fact the living healer whose power is available today.
By the end of the evening, we saw almost everybody that was prayed for healed. We lost count, but if we prayed for 35 people, 30 of them testified to the pain/problem leaving. There were a few things that didn't change, but even one man who was blind in one eye (whose blindness wasn't healed) left without his chronic shoulder pain. Most if not all of the mockers were convinced of God's power and asking us for prayer by the time we were done. One of them gave their life to Christ.
Our Lebanese brothers and sisters who came along saw that they could lay hands on the sick in public and God would show up and heal people. A number of the healings were captured on video - from start to finish. Watching people who were healed sharing with their friends that "it really worked" was so much fun. The two other groups, who interestingly didn't get kicked out of the mall, saw the same kind of release of God's power. I have never witnessed in my life the kind of hunger for God's touch that we witnessed that night outside of the mall. It never ceases to amaze us what we can get away with in the Middle East for the sake of Christ's Kingdom.
