JOEL 2 GENERATION

during worship this morning, the Lord gave me a word of knowledge about a problem in the upper right arm (not the bicep, but close to it). I called it out at the end of the service and a first-time visitor to the Church comes up to me to say she had fallen and that she had pain in the same place in her right arm. She was probably in her 70's. We prayed once and it got about 30% better. We prayed again and it jumped up about 30% more. We prayed a 3rd time and at the end she said, "now it's MUCH better". She had had limited mobility in the arm and by the end she was moving it all around without pain. I don't know if it was 100% healed when we were done, but I told her to check with me the following week so we could see what the end result was.

a couple of weeks a couple brought me their daughter who had a 3 year wrist condition, I had gotten a word of knowledge which I wrote down before they came for a wrist problem and she was healed. (see blog post). I had also prayed for the father's hearing loss. He was losing range in his hearing and so we prayed that God would restore it completely. As I was relaying the testimony of his daughter again to the pastor of the Church, he mentioned that the man's healing had been totally restored and that he was hearing all sorts of things he couldn't hear before. there also happens to be another woman in this Church who has lost a significant part of her hearing (it's hereditary and she wears hearing aids). Both my wife and I have prayed for this woman at different times and until now, no breakthroughs. However, the idea the Lord gave me was to have the guy whose hearing was restored pray for this woman. we are setting it up, but it should happen next week. keep you

the other night, Texas Ranger and I headed out to visit some old muslim friends. our first stop was uneventful, but it was good to reconnect with some guys I hadn't seen in over 10 years. I told them that when I visited them next week (they meet together once a week) that I wanted to give them "treatment" for any who have pain or who are sick. I am quite sure we'll have some stories to post next week. after that we went to visit another Gulf Arab friend who may be one of the most unique guys we've ever met - he's a bedouin, which generally means he'd be more conservative - not this friend! basically he is a socialist/communist who knows that the religion of his forefathers is completely false. he asked us if we knew that the prophet of islam has 53 wives! I had heard as many as 23, but he dropped 20 extra on us. however, just because our friend is unconvinced about islam, which is an important step towards Christ, he is also completely secular and i
