JOEL 2 GENERATION

yesterday we had an amazing trip out to the desert where God orchestrated a divine appointment that blew us all away but since Desert Princess and a couple friends saw were mostly involved, I'll leave that testimony to her. I had been wanting to go out to the desert to visit some Iraqi Arab muslims I had met who worked there. The weather wasn't very good and it didn't look like we'd find them but eventually we did. Immediately we had the chance to pray for one mans' healing after a word of knowledge for a foot problem that I had. After about 10 minutes, one of the men I had prayed for 3 months earlier came up. We had a video recorder and he shows us his foot and toes. He had had a bent toe and I prayed for him the last time and it straitened out - in retrospect, I don't think I have ever seen that type of healing miracle before. He proudly showed us that it was "still strait". I had a couple of Arab Christians with me this time and this same guy ...

one of the fun things about having visitors (right now we have a team visiting us from a school of Supernatural ministry) is the natural way that all sorts of new doors for ministry open. Here is how I would introduce them to people - "hi, I have some friends here from a school that teaches them how to do miracles, do you need one"? Yes, the Lord gave us a number of words of knowledge and prophetic impressions/pictures along the way, but we often would just break into a conversation with, "do you need a miracle tonight"? The question is, who doesn't!? Anyway, so much happened last night that I will only be able here to cover some of the highlights: we prayed for, prophesied over and ministered healing to people from the Philippines, Egypt, Gulf Arab countries, Nepal, India, Palestine, and some other places I am forgetting. We saw a bone spur healed (all pain left), back pain go, headaches leave, abdominal pain healed, a sprained ankle restored, arthritis heal...

God continues to break into the lives of a Gulf Arab muslim family - the son has had a couple encounters with the Lord now that he still can't put into words (always a good thing) and the father requested a Bible (which he received last night). A real highlight was reading Isaiah 53 together in Arabic as he considered who Jesus was/is and what He did for us. He said he wanted to 'meditate' on that passage further (another good idea!) I had a couple of guys with me from Bethel Church (Bill Johnson's Church) and they just began to prophesy and pray for this family as we visited. The Lord was really touching the father's heart and life - it is always amazing to see what impact true prophetic words have upon people. As we were about to leave, a word of knowledge slams into my right knuckles - I knew it was arthritis, and sure enough the father had arthritis in his right hand. We prayed for him. You know what happened of course - God took away all the pain, stiffne...

A small group of us have been going to this main street in our city for the past five months, loving on people and offering healing to those who are afflicted. During this time we have seen numerous healings and built some very strong relationships with shopkeepers and restaurant staff. Many we have prayed for have had dreams from the Lord and gone through some deliverance with us where they have been set free from addictions. Recently we got a word confirmed over our nation by a visiting itinerate minister that many expatriate folk have come to plow the land in order to lead people to Jesus in our country, but it would be the local believers in the region that would be used to witness and disciple their nation. So this evening when we went out to our street we had an Arabic speaking believer from a neighboring country come out with us to pray for the sick. It was his first time. We started out in a Hypermarket, where we prayed for people with back, chest and shoulder pain and they wer...
