"why don't they ever call out my condition?", a wife asks her husband

we've been doing some healing prayer in a weekly Church service and are often asked to publicly call out the words of knowledge. Yesterday, I got a word for one of the men on the worship team and asked if he had a problem in his left foot/ankle. He did. He came for prayer and explained that just the week before, his wife who has some physical problems asked him, "why don't they ever call out my condition"? Now he had been called out and was quite shocked! His ankle problem had been really bothering him the night before and he was quite angry about and somewhat frustrated with the Lord. I was able to not only pray for his ankle but also for the heart issues too.

healings in a department store

I wanted to do some Christmas shopping and went to a department store. while walking around the store, the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for one of the women who worked there. We prayed for her and she was healed. Then I got another word for another employee who was assisting me - for his right knee. God touched his knee. He could feel the Lord's presence and did some deep knee bends to test it out. While praying for his knee, I got another word about a choking condition in the neck. I asked if it was for his wife - it was! His wife was in another country so I instructed him how to pray for her over the phone - just say, "Lord, let your Kingdom come" as she has her hand on her throat. He took my number and will call me with the news of what happens. He was going to call her probably the following day. Finally, as we were walking out, the Lord highlighted a 3rd employee. When we began to talk with her about pain, she said she had it but it was because she bee

Egyptian muslim man receives a "drive by" healing

I love "drive bys" - the kind of healings where we don't even leave our car and God's Kingdom comes that quickly! The other day we were leaving a parking lot and I asked the Egyptian man attendant if he had a headache (I don't think it was a word of knowledge, just a general question). He had a pretty bad one so I instructed him to put his hand on his head (I couldn't have reached him anyway) and then prayed a quick prayer in Arabic releasing the Kingdom. When he took his hand away, his strong headache was gone! I then asked him if he had any Christians friends, which he did, and so I told him his "homework assignment" was to go to one of them and tell them what the Lord had done.

muslim man wants me to "show him the money"

while out this afternoon, I got a word of knowledge talking to two muslims about a knee condition. the Egyptian man said he had the problem and let me pray for him. since it wasn't bothering him at the time, I told him to expect that he was healed as the Lord had revealed it to me in order to heal him. then another muslim man from Jordan said "I have a problem, can you tell me what it is?". Talk about asking me to "show him the money"! I asked him to come stand next to me. He did and after a minute, the Lord revealed that he had a back problem in the upper right part of his back. I got to pray for him a couple of times, and it improved after breaking off the shock and trauma of the accident that caused the problem in the first place. It wasn't completely healed when we ended, but I asked him to contact me in a few days and tell me how it was. the Lord doesn't reveal other people's problems for our entertainment - His Kingdom's expansion an

what God reveals, He heals and then His fear comes

during worship this morning, I noticed a Lebanese friend of ours and the Lord gave me a word of knowledge about a problem in her right hip. I asked her if she had pain there - she did. Desert Princess went to pray for and the Lord touched her - she said, "I'm all good now"! While she was praying, another word of knowledge came for a back problem in her upper back. she had that problem as well. just sitting there considering what the Lord had just done - the precise revelation that He gave and then the manifestation of His power to heal - the Fear of the Lord began to hit me and I got tears in my eyes. It never gets old to realize that some something completely supernatural has just occurred - something that we could in no way have known and no way have healed. God gets ALL the glory!

arm healed

a man came for prayer who had a problem with his left arm - some kind of nerve damage. we prayed and the Lord began touching him. he tested it out and we prayed again. I think we prayed a 3rd time - and when testing it out, there was no longer any problem.

headaches revealed and then healed

a couple of our ministry team called out words of knowledge for headaches - at least two people were healed and one man (who didn't have the headache at the time) felt the presence of God and almost began crying. God HATES headaches!

hospital visit last night, healed today

an Indian teenager came for prayer this morning (he and his father had been healed of their allergies several weeks ago) and had been to the hospital last night with a severe chest pain. he came for prayer in quite a bit of pain. that was until God's Kingdom collided with pain. he was completely healed and left pain-free. that shouldn't surprise us - there is NO PAIN in God's Kingdom (Rev. 21:4)

tumor gone!

last week we gave a word of knowledge in a meeting a woman who had a tumor (didn't know what kind) responded. Desert Princess prayed and it shrunk during prayer. this morning she came to us (a week later) and with incredible gratitude told us that the tumor was gone!

healing of Gulf Arab muslim woman over the phone

yesterday Desert Princess contacted a young Gulf Arab muslim woman on the phone who has been very sick. there have been many problems, but yesterday the latest problem was a painful ear infection. I had gotten a word of knowledge earlier in the day about an ear problem and never found the person. She decided to call her and pray over the phone. As she prayed the Holy Spirit came and all the pain left her ear! I listened to the end of the conversation - Desert Princess couldn't believe how quickly and completely the Lord had healed this muslim woman over the phone. Then a while later she got a text expressing her gratitude that God had given my wife such a special gift of healing - not a bad description!!!

a new level of the word of knowledge

while at a mall this afternoon, the Lord revealed a couple of things to us about muslims that we met. the first one was at lunch. a very distinct word of knowledge came to my left lower leg. I asked the man in front of me ordering food and he had a problem in his leg in that exact same spot. he wanted to know how I knew - I explained that it was God who revealed it because He wanted to heal it. I prayed for him once - it didn't seem to improve after he tested it out. I told him to call me (gave him my card) as we know what the Lord intends to do for him. later Desert Princess got a very strong word of knowledge in her arm as a muslim woman passed by her. it was so strong, she didn't initially recognize it as a word of knowledge, but when she realized that the Lord has been speaking to her in a more accurate way, she followed after the woman and was able to pray for it. It improved a little bit after praying twice. For Desert Princess, it was a whole new level of receiv

teaming up with Desert Princess in Kingdom revelation

this morning during a service, the Lord began to give words of knowledge - several people responded and came for prayer. one of the words was for a woman who had a problem on her left side. a woman came for prayer with some kind of lump in that spot. as my daughter and Desert Princess prayed the tumor began to shrink. we'll see what happens. probably the most remarkable revelation that the Lord gave was that Desert Princess saw a picture of woman who had a black snake choking her. she asked if I could give the word publicly but just then a woman's name popped into my head. I asked her if she knew anybody with that name (not very common) and she said that it was the name of the woman sitting behind us. She asked me if I had remembered this particular woman's name - I did not (I'm not good with names). Sure enough, she checks it out and she has had a problem with being choked. Another person had seen the exact same picture for her during deliverance prayer a coup

word of knowledge leads to woman's healing in airport

while transiting in a South East Asian airport, the Lord gave me a word of knowledge for a young Catholic woman in a shop for a shoulder problem. She was taken back how I knew. I had her co-worker lay hands on her as I prayed. The Holy Spirit came powerfully and she began to cry. She was speechless. I went to find Desert Princess to follow up - she discovered that the woman was about to go home that day because of her shoulder pain, that was UNTIL Jesus touched her shoulders and healed her. She decided to stay at work. The thing that most shocked this woman was how we knew - my wife explained that Jesus knows everything and so He revealed it in order to heal it! Gotta love traveling!

another hindu man healed - dislocated finger

last night while hanging out with a couple of young Christian guys who wanted to hear more about the miraculous, I "thought" I got a word of knowledge for one of the hindu men working at our hotel. I was wrong. BUT, the Lord opened the door to pray for one of the men who had injured his finger and couldn't move the main joint in his index finger very well - that was UNTIL Jesus healed it. It was still larger looking than normal, but he testified to the fact that he could move it unlike he could move it before. We pointed him to Jesus as best as we could!

when your god doesn't work

after praying for the women in the massage place, I went into another shop - statues of a hindu deity named ganesha, who looks like an elephant, were everywhere - it was clear who this man worshipped! a strong word of knowledge came for the right elbow. he let me pray for him and as I did he started shouting, "it's hot, it's hot"! I told him that this was the power of Jesus who was touching him. He had been telling me about why he worshipped ganesha, but now it was Jesus who was at work in his shop. He asked for prayer for his head, then his feet. The same thing - power was released. This was a very happy man. I explained that Jesus was going to come and visit him in a dream or a vision. while I was leaving all we were talking about was Jesus - I guess that makes sense when your god doesn't work!

healings on the way to the massage parlor

before we got to the massage place, we began praying for men on the street - one's back was healed, another man's legs were healed. Also one man's neck was healed. The focus was all about Jesus (again, mostly hindus) as we explained whose power it was that was touching them. there was one man who wasn't healed - and to be honest, it was quite frustrating. we prayed for him maybe 6 or 7 times. others were getting healed, but he wasn't. My son prayed for him, my nephew and father-in-law also prayed, but we got absolutely no breakthrough. What was hard was to hear his reasoning. He said, "Maybe Jesus doesn't want to heal me". We assured him that this wasn't the case. Then he thought, "maybe it's not His timing" - sounds like some Christians I know trying to explain why something doesn't happen when we prayed. In the end, I asked if he had a Christian friend; he did. I told him to have him pray for you when you see him. &qu

healings at the massage parlor

today we all went for foot massages and after those were done, prophetic words started to come and prayer for healing began. all of the masseuses were hindus and God began to heal them - a hip, knees, back problems. Several had major encounters with God as Desert Princess and her mother soaked some of them in prayer. They couldn't even stay on their feet! They all saw and experienced the power of God and heard about Jesus! It was a powerful time - not just receiving (massages) but giving (the Kingdom).

ever-increasing faith

just a reflection on our trip to this predominately muslim country (Indonesia) but staying on a majority hindu island (Bali). I don't think we've ever seen people being healed more easily than we have seen in the past 4-5 days. A number of demonic deliverances as well. Mostly hindus, a number of muslims and a handful of Christians have been healed of many different conditions. there is a desperation here that is amazing when we compare it to the wealthier Middle East where we reside. the opportunities to clearly present the Gospel of Christ have been amazing. No arguments - why? Because Jesus is demonstrating His authority, His Lordship and supremacy over and above their idolatry and false religiosity. what is this trip doing to us personally? our faith for healing and miracles just continues to grow. we contend that this Kingdom lifestyle is normal. most Christians still live in a state of chronic unbelief - many who will read the testimonies on this blog will questio

drive-by healing and then more at the beach

today we stopped our car on the way to the beach and I jumped out to offer prayer for a hindu woodcarver who had back pain. he was healed and I explained it was Jesus who touched him. at the beach, we saw a number of Indonesians healed - a headache, back pain, problem in the calves, a shoulder problem and even kidney stones (of course he needs to get that verified). Again it was a privilege to explain to them that it was Jesus who healed them. One man needed deliverance (as his pain was moving around his pack indicating a spirit of affliction) so I had him say in his language "Jesus help me". Jesus did and the pain stopped moving around and left completely. I told him that he needed to remember this important prayer in the future.

more healings at dinner - in a hindu stronghold

we traveled to another city and tonight at dinner, the Lord began speaking again and touching employees in the restaurant. one man's neck was healed. another word of knowledge came for a skin condition - one man had that problem. after prayer, he said he felt power in his legs! Desert Princess prayed for one of the women - who had pain with her teeth (which was also revealed by a word of knowledge). finally, the Lord gave a clear word for a man with some kind of STD - I asked one of the men discreetly and he said that 2 of the men working there had this problem (how he knew, I didn't ask). they were out on a delivery, so I said I would go back and pray for them later. breakfast was great - and so was dinner! this city is a hindu stronghold - Jesus is already showing Himself strong!

was that breakfast or a healing service?? hard to tell.

This morning at breakfast, it was just like yesterday - probably prayed for about 10 people total - backs healed, shoulder and arm pain. A hand/wrist problem. It seemed more like a healing/miracle service than breakfast. That is why our breakfasts are taking like 2 hours! A whole new concept for breakfast - calling it "Breakfast with Jesus" One of the employees was a Christian who had been a hindu. She helped to translate to both her hindu and muslim co-workers the message of the Gospel - basically, shared again that GOD HIMSELF provided a sacrifice for our sins to make our lives pleasing and acceptable to God - so the sacrifices that the hindus are doing and the sacrifice that the muslims are offering tomorrow (for their Eid) are all completely unnecessary. So sad to see the essence of the false religions that are all trying to make themselves somehow acceptable to God through works and offering sacrifices. 2000 years later and countless millions don't realize tha

the Kingdom just keeps coming - words of knowledge and healings

The miracles started again yesterday morning at breakfast – more employees of our hotel kept coming for prayer. A muslim man with a back brace who’d had surgery had the brace off after prayer – testifying to it being much better. Also prayed for another man, a hindu, with a back problem – all the pain left. Another man came for a “blessing” (said he didn’t need anything). He felt God’s presence during and after prayer. Then he told the other staff that he felt “power going into him”. My wife also was able to pray for several other women needed healing – to be honest, we are losing count of all the healings taking place. The opportunities to share about Jesus are happening with each and every healing! At dinner last night, a couple of words of knowledge came – one of the entertainer’s neck and shoulder was healed. Our server had an ankle problem that the Lord revealed by word of knowledge – she had my wife pray for a hip problem that the Lord healed.

those healed yesterday, brought their relatives today - part 2

later in the evening, a Christian couple came to meet with us. the man's back was healed yesterday and tonight he brought his wife. her hand was healed, her elbow was healed and her back was healed. we spent quite a bit of time with them counseling them, and helping to cast a vision for a Kingdom destiny and purpose on the island that they live. it was just such a privilege to minister to this amazing couple. can't wait to see what the Lord will do tomorrow!

those healed yesterday, brought their relatives today - part 1

this evening we met with two of the people who were healed yesterday. the hindu woman who was healed yesterday brought her cousin who had many health issues. a chest condition and neck pain left. a leg problem was improved. at this point, we began to minister to a back condition and it turned out to be a demonic affliction (the pain kept moving around). We prayed for her deliverance for quite some time, but didn't seem to be able to get her completely free. The pain decreased a considerable amount, but sadly we left her with some unfinished Kingdom business. btw - the woman healed yesterday's elbow was also healed and a her ankles! without a doubt, the most powerful thing was being able to explain to these hindus, who make daily sacrifices to their gods, that a single sacrifice had been offered by God Himself which ended the need for any further sacrifices. it was difficult for them to consider this idea, but I assured them that Jesus Himself is more than able to prove t

the healings just continue to happen

this morning at breakfast several more hindu women were healed at our hotel. it is like a stream of them are coming for ministry. one of the women who was healed yesterday from outside is coming to meet us for more ministry. amazing what God is doing. the opportunities to demonstrate the Gospel and then to tell people about Jesus are incredible. p.s. another man who was healed contacted me after I had originally written this - his wife needs a miracle!

miracles in the jungle

while out today exploring a jungle area and some beaches in Indonesia, we came upon a private estate overlooking the ocean. God began to give words of knowledge - the estate manager's back was healed - he was a Christian. he went in and brought out a woman who had one of the problems that the Lord had identified - a left shoulder problem after two injuries. The Lord completely healed her. She was shocked. This hindu or muslim woman (I didn't ask) was so excited that she was jumping up and down. We also prayed for her back - which was healed. My son and I got to tell her about Jesus. I even made a video of her testifying because she was so excited. All of this led to the wife of the owner of the estate to come and meet us to hear about the healing miracles happening outside of the estate! on our way out, we stopped to buy a drink in a small shop and the Lord identified a problem that the owner (a woman) had in her stomach. We prayed for her and she felt intense heat i

healings at breakfast

it all started this morning at breakfast. I got a word of knowledge for muslim woman who was working in the hotel. Desert Princess prayed for her and she was healed - her knee and elbow. this led to a host of other employees coming for prayer - some hindus and one Christian. one woman's hip improved. one hindu woman kept bringing people to us all day long for prayer.

Egyptian muslim man gets prayer over the phone

when the Egyptian muslim man I met at the airport (with the broken arm) didn't call me back, I decided to call him and minister to him over the phone. I asked him to take his healthy arm, put it on his broken arm while I prayed in Arabic. I asked him what he was feeling and he told me it was all cold. I told him that the Lord was healing his arm. He wanted to know more about my faith - I was able to share a bit with him. Now I'm waiting for him to call me with the final report on his arm!

a number of testimonies

last night we gathered and during a time of testimonies people shared how this past week God healed many people - hindus, muslims, Christians. during our gathering last night, the Lord spoke prophetically and revealed things by words of knowledge. It was an amazing night. loving the Kingdom life - it never gets old.

offering Kingdom healing to Egyptian muslim

while walking out of the airport, I noticed an Egyptian muslim man with a make-shift sling on his arm. I asked him what happened. He told me that he broke his arm but hadn't been able to get it treated properly at the hospital (not sure why, he said they wouldn't treat him??). I noticed that someone was carefully watching my interaction with him, so instead of praying on the spot, I gave him my number and told him that I believed that God was going to heal him. I explained what I wanted to do. Now I am waiting for him to call.

allergies healed in father and son

2 weeks ago I prayed for a man and his son who had responded to a word of knowledge for allergies/sinus issues. They said they felt better after prayer, but I told them to check back with me the following week to let me know how things were after a few days. I missed the meeting the following week, but they found me yesterday to testify that they the Lord had healed them.

woman healed in donut shop

after getting a donut and coffee, I was asked if we needed anything else. I then asked the staff if they needed anything. they smiled. I said, "Like a miracle". Just then I got a word of knowledge for a stomach problem. one of the female employees had the problem. my wife came, grabbed her hand and prayed for her. she was healed. now we need to follow up with her.

Egyptian muslim man healed after word of knowledge

yesterday, I walked into my neighborhood market and got a word of knowledge for a back problem on the right side of the back. the muslim cashier had that problem. I prayed and most of pain left him. It was all cold when he asked me about my faith. I encouraged him to connect with Christian friends of his.

"how did you know"? asks the muslim man

today while walking into a restaurant, I noticed a Gulf Arab man in front of me and I got a word of knowledge for a headache in the back, left side of the head. After a few minutes, I asked this man if he had this problem. He did. Immediately he asked me, "how did you know"? I explained that it was by "revelation" from God. It wasn't hurting at that moment, so I gave him my phone number. I told him that when it came back he needed to call me. Can't wait for the phone call!

Gulf Arab muslim tells us about a divine encounter

last night we met again with a Gulf Arab muslim man who was healed several months ago. he had had a visitation about 4 years ago by someone "wearing white" with a "shining face". He didn't know who the visitor was, but we told him that it was Jesus. We discussed this encounter further last night - this encounter happened at a time when he was confused and considering which of the 2 sects of Islam, Sunni or Shi'ite, was the correct one. I had told him that Jesus was "the way" and visited you at time when you were searching for one. one of friends shared with him how Jesus had appeared to two different people recently he had ministered deliverance to. In both cases, Jesus looked just like visitor our muslim friend had seen. He then told him that if he asked God to send the visitor back, that Jesus would return and identify Himself clearly. pray for this to happen

"Did you use magic or something?" man asks me.

after hearing an amazing array of testimonies last night from a number in our community, I was encouraged as I went into a Middle Eastern mall today. While ordering something to drink, I got a word of knowledge about a problem in the hand of one of the employees. Then another word of knowledge for a problem in the rib cage. Both of these words were accurate. I then had this person put their hand on their rib cage, prayed and the pain left. Then another employee asks me "Did you use magic or something?". I explained that it was not magic but God's power through prayer. Finally, before leaving, I got to have the healed employee put her hand on her lower back - which was also hurting and prayed for God's power and peace to come. After testing it out, she said it was much better. I then was able to give her the phone number of a pastor from her country so she could pursue God with others.

"...and your old men will dream dreams" - Acts 2:17/Joel 2:28

why do we even call this blog the "Joel 2 Generation"? Because we believe that we are living in the days that these things are being fulfilled in a greater and greater measure. What began to be fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, continues to unfold. Tonight we were meeting with a Gulf Arab man who began to tell us about some of his recent dreams. He's been reading the Bible and has had incredible exposure to Christians throughout his entire life. I am hesitant to call him a muslim, because his thinking about God is far more Christian than islamic. This man had a powerful dream and wanted to understand it. I believe that God gave us understanding to help him interpret some of the elements - a powerful interpretive key being the "fruits of the Spirit". This opened a door to help him understand that salvation cannot come through the law (an key islamic doctrine). The things we got to speak about this evening ere simply incredible. We are trusting that G

muslims are getting more shocked by the "revelation" than by the healings!

this has been a bit of a theme recently, but when we have been getting "words of knowledge" for muslims who are subsequently healed, they seem to be more amazed by the "revelation" that the Lord has given than by the healing miracles themselves. two experiences this week with muslim women confirm this. both of them were quite literally shocked at how "we knew" they had a particular problem. I find it quite interesting that this reveals a 'suspicious' similarity between islam and the thinking of some conservative Christians. orthodox muslims don't believe that God speaks any more (i.e. the canon is closed!). This is an uncomfortable parallel in my mind to the thinking of some Christians I know - those who don't believe in the continuation of the revelatory gifts. I guess at the end of the day, I wonder what my conservative Christians friends even do with what we are seeing happen amongst muslims. How are we "discerning" the i

Gulf Arab muslim woman comes for prayer

the other day a Gulf Arab muslim woman contacted us for prayer. one of her relatives had been healed several months ago - he testified to his healing and referred her to us! when she arrived, she actually wanted my wife and her Lebanese friend to "discern her condition by revelation"! Since her relative had told her that we got his conditions by word of knowledge, she expected the same. Talk about raising the bar a little. After more than an hour of ministry, where she heard the Gospel clearly and really had a powerful encounter with the Lord, she asked if she could come and attend our weekly prayer/encounter meetings! This is a totally covered Gulf Arab muslim woman - I guess she's hungry for more!

it's happening!

last night my wife made a phone call to an unknown muslim woman. 5 months ago a few muslim men were healed one night. one of them, a Gulf Arab muslim, proceeded to set up another prayer appointment with a female relative of his. this man obviously is still giving out our phone number, because last night this new woman is asking when it would be possible to meet for prayer. this is beginning to happen more and more. we see someone healed in public, and then they decide to give our number to a friend who needs a miracle. while at the market last night, another muslim woman took my wife's number as she spoke with her about healing. I also received a call this week from another man who wanted to meet because his relative was touched by God's healing touch. it's happening! May the Nicodemus' continue contact us in the night!!!

muslim man confides "my father was a Christian"!

my Gulf Arab muslim friend has shown a tremendous openness to the Gospel for some time now (he's gone to healing services with me at a Church, he's come to an Encounter God meeting in my home for prayer AND he asked for an Arabic Bible which he reads regularly). Today he told me that his father had been a Christian! He really poured out his heart today and the many concerns he is struggling with - I showed him one of Paul's Apostolic prayers from Ephesian and told him that he needed to be praying it - he agreed. It is clearly time to lead this man BACK to his roots - pray that he is receptive when we meet again to clearly invite Christ into his life and return to the faith of his father, grandfather, etc.

power spilling (follow up)

I posted about a Gulf Arab muslim man whose hip was touched by the Lord when we prayed. I told him that I wanted him to contact me the following day to tell me what had happened. Sure he enough, he called! He told me that he was now able to walk up and down stairs - something he couldn't do before. His family was shocked - so much so that another family member contacted me and wants to meet. I love it when the Kingdom comes!

power spilling at a Middle Eastern mall (part 2)

after leaving the man whose hip God had just touched powerfully, we were approached by a man doing a survey (an Indian muslim man). I agreed to do the survey, if he agreed to give us some time afterwards:) I asked him if he had any physical conditions and initially he said no. Then he looked at our "treasure map" of clues and noticed that there was one for "headache in the front of the head". He had one and let us pray. He was healed thanking us because it is "always good to receive prayer". Note another muslim happy to receive ministry. He has my phone number. As we walked away, our team noticed that we had been standing next to an exhibit with 4 mannequins wearing bright yellow shirts - one of our clues was simply the word "yellow". A week earlier I had been in a shop where I prayed for a muslim man whose knee was healed and also had a Filipino Christian woman pray for a Filipino muslim woman (I think she converted) who was quite hesitan

power spilling at a Middle Eastern mall (part 1)

last night a group of us decided to go on a "treasure hunt" (see Kevin Dedmon's The Ultimate Treasure Hunt) . We gathered to ask the Lord for "prophetic clues" (conditions, places, people, etc.) and headed for the largest mall in the country breaking into 4 teams. We had a group of 6 youth with us too. I can't speak for the other 3 teams, but will summarize what we saw in about an hour of 'power spilling'. One of our clues was a word of knowledge for a knee condition -as we headed into an Apple store, the word of knowledge came back to me and the first person I spoke with (an employee) had the knee condition! He was Lebanese and I was able to pray for him. He testified to there being a difference although it was hard to test out at that point. Then another word of knowledge came for another employee - a Gulf Arab muslim. He let me also pray for him. These guys have my number. All of the "time" we spent in the Apple store, led into o

Bangladeshi muslim man healed on the beach

while waiting for my family to finish riding jet skis, I got a word of knowledge for a back condition. I asked the two muslim men sitting near me (one from India, the other from Bangladesh) if either of them had a back problem. One had a lower back condition (my word was for the upper back) and so I prayed for him and the Lord healed him. I was able to share a bit more about my Christianity with them. After about 15 minutes, I checked in again and there was still no pain.

muslims being called out and healed

while in a mall yesterday, I was with a new friend who was buying some things and the Lord gave a couple of words of knowledge - first was for a left hand condition. I asked the employee who was helping us and she said she would ask around. We never found that person, but another word came for a left knee condition. A Lebanese muslim man who worked there had that problem. I told him in Arabic that God had revealed his condition because He wanted to heal it. I just knelt down, put my hand on his knee and prayed. After prayer, he testified that the pain had gone (as he was testing it out). Then another word of knowledge came for a stomach condition. One of the employees, I believe a Filipino woman who had converted to Islam had that problem. I had another Filipino woman (a Catholic woman) who worked there lay hand on her and we prayed TOGETHER. When this muslim woman looked a bit hesitant before we prayed, I just had her muslim manager (the Lebanese man) testify to his miracle.

back in the saddle - man healed in supermarket

as we've returned to the Middle East, we saw the Lord move yesterday in the life of an Indian Christian man. as we walked by him, the Lord gave us a word of knowledge that he had a knee problem. He did. I just knelt down and began to pray - he testified that the pain left him. We had no time to talk as he was working and had another customer. It was actually sort of like of "drive by" - however, it reminded us of what the Lord ALWAYS wants to do when we head out - release His Kingdom in LOVE & POWER.

reflections on the outreach - equipping youth

hard to know how many people were involved in the 3 outreaches (maybe 200). many who came said they wanted to see their first miracle on the streets - and they did! I was particularly moved by the teenage guy from our Vineyard Church who was skeptical about all the healings he had heard about and joined our team to see one. He basically said, "show me the money" - after God used him to bring healing to 3 people. I asked him how he knew it was real and he told me that when the man who was healed asked, "Did you do magic on me or something"? he was convinced! That was powerful - a youth from a Charismatic Church who himself was a skeptic UNTIL he saw people healed. Guess who was on EVERY outreach? He was hooked! Can't wait to see what happens as he returns to our Church believing that God heals and wants to use him to release His Kingdom. Also had others see healing flow through their hands for the first time on the streets as they saw a whole new approach

reflections on the outreach - demonstration 1st, talk 2nd

in all of our training, we emphasized that we wanted the people we met to encounter something of God's Kingdom 1st, before we spoke to them the Gospel verbally. Whereas BOTH approaches are Biblical (sometimes Jesus preached 1st, and then demonstrated miraculously and other times the demonstration came 1st), I believe that in America we find ourselves needing to demonstrate the Kingdom supernaturally BEFORE we try to talk about Christ. This happened on the streets on Saturday over and over again. An accurate word of knowledge, a physical healing, meaningful prophetic ministry or even an encounter with God's love. I am reminded of one Arab muslim man who witnessed the healing of a friend of his AND THEN I was able to speak boldly about the Jesus who just came in a miraculous demonstration. He gladly took the Arabic New Testament I offered him and I spoke about Christ's Deity openly (which isn't always easy with muslims). He told me he would cherish the gift I came hi

reflections on the outreach - power of the testimony

a number of people we approached were not interested initially in our offer of prayer for their healing. this seemed to be the case with many who had conditions we could see (cane, crutches, casts, wheelchair). However, if somehow we could get a testimony shared of their condition being healed (either earlier in the day or at some other time), then we got to pray for them. The testimony helped them overcome their initial skepticism and released faith - at least enough faith to let us pray. one man I remember had just limped out of a Psychic/Palm Reader shop walking with a cane. I didn't think he'd let us pray (because of the shop he had just emerged from), but we asked anyway. He thanked us for our concern but wasn't interested. Then I quickly recounted a couple of testimonies of scoliosis being healed (one that was dramatic and instantaneous), and then he let us pray. God began to move and in the exact spot in his spine where the scoliosis was the worst, he began to

many healings on the streets this past weekend

a large group of us did a series of 3 outreaches this past Saturday and saw God work a number of Kingdom miracles. Here is a summary of what we saw: 1. A mother and her daughters were sitting on a bench. The mother had a cane, so we stopped of course. She had had a hip replacement that hadn't healed well. First we prayed for a neck problem which was healed. then we prayed for the hip which was also much better after prayer. She didn't stand up to fully check it out, but was moving her leg up and down without pain. They were strong believers and very encouraged! 2. We see a woman in a wheelchair. She had suffered from a stroke. We got a word of knowledge for her neck. The Lord began to touch her as we prayed. At the end, a chronic pain in her foot was healed. She didn't want to try walking. We did ask. Another word of knowledge came for her friend - a wrist condition in her left wrist. She had carpal tunnel and then all the pain left after prayer. 3. We got a prophetic indi

an appointment with destiny for young new age mystic

we were tired as it was the end of about 5 hours of ministering on the streets. we were ready to leave, waiting for the rest of our team to regroup, and God highlighted a young man sitting close to us. First the Lord revealed lower back pain, which was the open door I walked through. that was healed. then something on the left side of the head - God came and brought healing there (the effects of a recent seizure). Interestingly, he began to speak about the "peace" he was feeling after the Kingdom began to come. then it was problems in the feet - another word of knowledge. God healed his feet a two of us prayed. what was happening? this young man was a new age mystic who himself was learning about "healing" and wanted to bring healing to people. Jesus Christ was not one of the options he was currently considering, and so I explained to him that his desire to see people 'healed' was a desire that God had put within him. I also said that it was on that

words of knowledge revealing pain, God's power healing it.

as we spents a number of hours on the streets, a number of words of knowledge came that identified problems we didn't know. here's a summary of a few of those encounters. - while standing on a corner, the Lord highlighted a man and showed me he had next and shoulder pain. I approached him, he had the problem and let me pray. God healed him. We pointed him gently to the Healer Himself. - walking behind a couple of Iranian women, a word of knowledge indicated that one of them had back pain. we asked and one of them had the exact problem we described. they were really shocked by what was happening. I had one of the women in our group pray for her and she felt "power" come through her hands. the woman was healed instantly! her friend wanted to know what else we cold heal! a number was given and follow up will hopefully happen very soon. - while waiting in a shop, I got two words of knowledge for a saleswoman. both were correct and she let me pray for her. pain

broken thumbs and hand collide with God's Kingdom

while out on the streets, we had the opportunity to minister to several with broken bones. one young man had a broken hand. as we again asked who needed a miracle, we were able to pray for him and most of the pain left his hand. another young man suffering from the effects of two broken thumbs (which he couldn't bend) was surprised when another teenager who was with us, prayed for his thumbs and all movement was restored. Christ the HEALER in their midst drawing this group of runaways to Himself. just watching His Love poured out through a demonstration of His power left us all so grateful.

buddhist healed & heroin addict encounter

with a group of young people joining me who were hungry to see God's power released on the streets, we approached a 'rough looking' group of youth and asked if they needed a miracle. one girl, who professed being a buddhist, had an ankle injury that was painful. full of skepticism, she humored us and let one of the teenage guys with me pray for her. when all the pain left, it was interesting to hear the language she used to express her shock and awe at what just happened (using multiple times a word beginning with "F"!). next to her a young man seemed to want or need something but was hesitant. once a couple of the "scoffers" left, he opened up that he had wandered away from Christ and had become a heroin addict. he wanted to be free. i tried to set up a time for him to come and get some ministry in a more conductive setting (i didn't want to simply pray a quick prayer). however, he challenged me. he basically wanted to know if God could come

the greatest of these is LOVE

a familiar quote from the Apostle Paul. a truth we saw again and again on the streets this past weekend. as we approached people with the single agenda of "loving them", almost nobody refused us. we didn't have any arguments (and when people tried to start them, we refused to go there). love can look like a lot of things - we bought some meals for hungry people, we donated to some random charities and even listened intently to some of the most painful stories you could imagine. but the one thing we longed to do more than anything, was to see the love of God manifesting into the lives of those we prayed for. many were physically healed which was one of the primary ways Jesus demonstrated His love. many received prophetic words that accurately described their pasts, presents and even futures. such prophetic ministry is another way God loves people and brings hope and encouragment to desperate, and often hopeless lives. sometimes it was just that people would feel Hi

carpal tunnel syndrome HEALED

this afternoon, I got a word of knowledge for a wrist problem for our server at a restaurant. Desert Princess followed up with her, and she said it was for her husband who was outside. He wanted to know how we "knew" he had a problem. We explained and then he let us pray. I prayed for one wrist - all pain left. Then I prayed for the other - all pain left again! Then I prayed for an arm condition in the upper arm - all healed! We ONLY prayed once for each condition! I asked the man to go to his Church and to share a testimony with his pastor - he agreed!

prophetic revelation at the mall

yesterday we went out to "spill" at a local mall. I had taken my son and one of his friends who wanted to see a miracle. I asked her "how many miracles do you want to see?". She said, "Four". I said, "Great, we don't leave today until we've seen at least 4 supernatural/miraculous things!" a group of young people had passed us and I had gotten a word that one of them had a headache. we finally caught up with them and even though none had a headache (i.e. wrong word of knowledge), they let us pray for some other stuff that needed prayer. we didn't see anything particularly "miraculous" in terms of results, BUT then God begins to give me a prophetic word for one of the teenage girls. I saw a vision of her performing, singing with the microphone in her right hand. I saw her singing and dancing with two other young men. I described the ethnicity and the clothing of one of the men. It was all true! She verified that all

when the Spirit comes in power!

last night was a night of encountering God. there was lots of angelic activity that the Lord actually made us aware of through the gifts of several 'seers'. people were healed who testified that pain left their bodies and movement/flexibility was restored. accurate prophetic revelation along with many words of knowledge were released. there were even tangible 'signs' of God's glory being manifested (gold and oil). one of the highlights was the time of impartation - we set up 3 "pools" - one for those wanting to receive visions, one for those wanting to move more in the prophetic and one for words of knowledge - amazing to see all that God released and the many people (at least in the pool I was in) who received new gifts of the Holy Spirit. we absolutely love meetings like that! Encountering God in tangible ways should be our normal expectation for each and every Church meeting. May we see more "normal" meetings!

Kingdom message leads into Kingdom demonstration

Last night as we spoke of the Kingdom, it began to break in - Desert Princess started getting word of knowledge after word of knowledge - many of those conditions were healed! Don't know how many ultimately received healing but at least 10 people testified openly that pain had left their bodies. The Lord revealed many other things by word of knowledge during the ministry time for individuals. This is what happens when His Kingdom comes - don't settle for "decaffeinated" Christianity when there is "espresso" available!!

A child of God at an accident site

i was on my way home from work the time was 12.30 pm and I noticed a collusion of 3 cars on a super highway. i sense the Holy Spirit tell me to stop my car and go over to the site. I went to the first car and asked the driver if any one was injured he pointed me to the 3rd car and mumbled something… as I went over to the car I noticed the driver slumped on the front seat he was motionless. there were a few people and they tried to find his pulse but no police was in sight … I sensed the Holy Sprit tell me to lay my hands upon the driver and I did, prayed and began to command his spirit back….as soon as I did that I began to see his body began to shake and his stomach started to move some one pushed me aside and asked me to leave in a rough tone I sensed that I had to leave as I did what I was to do…..while leaving I keep hoping that the driver would sit up….he dint…..i some how felt empty I have heard of people who have risen people from the dead when they prayed…I do have a wa

Treasures felt the Love of the Father...

Yest was another day of "Treasure Hunting" was an Amazing & crazy staff...we found all of our clues...new people are joining our group & they're so on fire for the Lord...It was an amazing experience for them...we went to a mall & just before I could enter it I saw a man standing out of his restaurant & the Holy Spirit just lead me to him I asked him if he has a neck pain I got it earlier & I felt it again so he said no he don't have it but he asked why??? I explain to him how God let us feels people's pain & when he does it he heals & he was Coptic Christian...as I was talking to him I got word of knowledge for emotional pain so he said yes & he let me pray so prayed for him without laying hands & I asked him how he feel he said he was like in a trance & he felt shivering " the Lord was giving us prophetic word that when we pray for people in this days he will heal on the spot front of our eyes" & the Lord giv

Healing in the Swatch store

To get a new watchband Desert Princess' watch, required a 1/2 hr drive to the nearest Swatch shop (and they didn't even have the right replacement band!). But the Lord, has ways of encouraging the frustrated right? In comes a word of knowledge - left bicep. 2 shop employees. Ends up being for the young one. I have her lay hands on herself, I release the Kingdom and all the pain leaves. Invited her to our Church - she had been promising herself that she would go back to Church (prodigal daughter?) the other employee was a Persian Muslim whose husband needed a miracle. I had my newly healed going back to Church friend (I'm declaring it!), lay her hands on the Muslim woman's hands so we could release a gift of healing for her to carry (externally for all you who are concerned about the doctrine of what I am describing!). Guess what, the young woman feels the gift being released. Guess who isn't frustrated any more. Yours truly. Loving the Kingdom coming, again and

when the Spirit comes

last night after a prolonged time of worship (which was somehow difficult), a sense of breakthrough began to come. Prophetic revelation started to come. There were about 80 people in the meeting. I took note of a bunch of words of knowledge. We began to release healing - a man's back was healed and I was praying for his neck too. I was reminded of the woman's neck that was healed and felt like I was supposed to share that testimony. More of an impression came - the Lord wanted to heal necks. More came - He wanted to heal 5 necks. So I called that out and we prayed. One was healed. We went back to prayer again. Three more healed. One more time - and finally the 5th was healed. This led to even more. Later that night as I was sharing the testimony, my sister-in-law who had a neck problem, testified to a measure of healing by just hearing this testimony. so much other stuff happened in this meeting - much that I didn't see or hear. I do know that other words of

shoulder healed - and still healed a week later

about a week ago, we were in a meeting and saw a bunch of healings. one man had responded to a word of knowledge for a shoulder problem and testified at that time to being healed. last night a week later, he stood up in the service to testify to being completely healed a week later. note: when someone is still healed a week later, that is really, really good!

treasure hunting highlights

who doesn't like treasure hunting? in these days, God is releasing different models and concepts about how we can touch a lost world. more and more Christians are getting on-board and simply having their minds blown by what God is doing through them. we headed out the other day with about 50 different clues (names, places, conditions, etc). i had my 12 year-old daughter and her friend in my group. Talk about an easy way to approach people! Hint, hint - take your pre-teen daughter on outreach and no one will reject you! one of our clues was a location - a clothing store. another clue was a word of knowledge that my son (who was in a different group) had gotten for a neck problem. we had so many words of knowledge, I had said to all the groups, "let the Lord bring the words of knowledge back to you when you are in the presence of the people who need the miracle". That is exactly what happened as we walked into the clothing store - a word of knowledge comes into my n

ministering to Persian muslims

tonight while in a store, Desert Princess and I approached a Persian woman who we sensed needed prayer. her family joined her and we proceeded to pray with several physical conditions they wanted us to pray for. one asked me, "what do I need prayer for"? Immediately a couple of words of knowledge came - something in her head and another in her wrist. Both of these were conditions she had we my wife prayed for her. Another Muslim woman friend of theirs came up - they asked her to let us pray for her. Two of the women began to feel God's presence as we prayed. While talking to them, I said that they were far more open to receiving prayer than many of the people from our own country who no longer really believe in the supernatural and are far more resistant to being prayed for. Pray for the muslims that you meet. You'll be surprised how open they are!

many healings as the Lord reveals conditions

tonight during worship a flow of strong words of knowledge came - right shoulder, left ankle, left wrist, neck pain - even the Lord showed me specific conditions for two people - and He healed all of these conditions. there were two right shoulders (possibly 3) completely healed. two left wrists, the left ankle, the neck pain. One man's left elbow was healed after another word of knowledge. these were the healings we got to hear about! I know there were a number of others. it seemed another level of faith was released and we got to pray for a number of other conditions that people needed prayer for. It was just way too much fun!!!!

getting tires fixed when the Kingdom comes

today while getting my friend's car tires fixed, a word of knowledge came for a back problem. i thought it was for the Iranian muslim man who was working there, but in fact it turned out to be for a female customer. she asked, "are you a healer or something?" she let me pray for her and the Spirit came upon her back and she could feel God touching her. we invited her to Church.

releasing the Kingdom at the beach again

a group of us spent a few hours releasing the Kingdom - prophetic words, healings and sharing with people about Christ. we got to pray for several people in casts. one of the saddest things was to run into "unbelieving believers" (Christians that really don't believe in nor expect healing). These are a much tougher group to minister to and see breakthrough with than with unbelievers. When people believe that God "can" heal but that He isn't "willing" to, it is very difficult to see healing. on one occasion I got a word about a right wrist condition. a group of Armenians had allowed us to sit down. one guy had the condition, but didn't believe that God was willing to heal him. we prayed several times and it did seem that in this case his faith was a major hinderance. another guy had a cast and we prayed. I sensed something happening and he said that he could feel like "tingling" in his broken foot. we don't know what happ

A Hindu man got healed...

Last Wednesday in the morning when I was in the office I saw one of my colleagues he’s Hindu putting cotton in his ears he said to me that water come from his ears & gave bad smell so I asked to remove it & I prayed for him & he told me that he has pain in his right side & right leg so I prayed for so he got healed on the spot & the next day I saw him so I asked him what happened he said that his ears healed completely but he has pain in both legs so I prayed for him once more & after two days I saw him again so he said the pain gone…Jesus is Amazing…when we saw people in pain we don’t need to wait for word of knowledge…just go & pray for them… الاربعاء الماضي في الصباح عندما كنت في المكتب رأيت احد زملائي هو هندوسي يضع قطن في أذنيه ، قال لي ان المياه تخر من أذنيه وتعطي رائحة سيئة للغاية وسألته لإزالتها وصليت له فقال لي ان لديه ألم في الجانب الأيمن وساقه اليمنى فصليت له فحصل على الشفاء على الفور و في اليوم التالي رأيته فسألته ماذا حدث قال إن أذنيه شفيت تماما

Treasure Hunting Again...

Last Wednesday group of us went “Treasure Hunting” bringing the Kingdom…we found some clues we got it earlier…as I was walking in a shopping area I was passing by an Indian guy I got word of knowledge for left back neck pain so I asked him if he has that pain he says no I don’t have it but why u ask??? I told him because if I pray you will get healed he says what’s your name so I told him he says are u Christian I said yeah…so he told me yeah I did have the pain so he allowed me to pray for him & I prayed for three times & every time became more less…as I am praying for him I got another word of knowledge for emotional pain he says yeah so I start telling him that God loves u so much & he loves to heal people inside more than the outside & I start praying for him & felt something different I told yeah it’s the Holy Spirit & he called me the next day & said that the pain gone completely…Praise God thank u Jesus…when he heals he heals completely 100 %...we we

Bringing The Kingdom...

Pouring God's Love in a Mall

Three weeks ago Group of us we out in a mall “Treasure hunting” bringing the Kingdom by doing The Father’s will…KL & I start getting word of knowledge…as we was walking in the mall I saw one man with crutches & I was desire to pray for him & we enter one of the shops as we enter we saw that man in the shop & he came to us & told KL…hey after long time…How’re u?...he said that’s his condition since he was born so we start sharing with that God want to heal him completely & he allowed us to pray & I can see the time we finished praying for him he was to fall down from the presence of God…but the fun part was that KL doesn’t know the man but God give us opportunity to pray for this guy & he start the conversation God is so amazing…as we walk I got word of knowledge for neck pain & stomachache & in front of me was an Iranian man with his daughter in the pushchair I asked if he has the pain he says yeah…I prayed for him twice & he was totally heal

miracles at the mall

what a fun afternoon my son and I had watching God break into people's lives at an area mall. a large group of us spent close to 2 hours just getting filled up before going out to spill. We had a long list of clues for our treasure hunt. we ended up finding many of them! here are some of the highlights: -we found one of our clues - a left eye problem. got to pray for one of two women who had this problem. -saw a Hispanic man limping. got to pray for his knees. a lot of the pain left and he was walking much better. next we prayed for his wife. she had several conditions that we got to pray for. another word of knowledge came for a problem in her left arm. we prayed several times. she felt much better. -we had the clue "ice cream" and found an ice cream shop. a word of knowledge came for one of two girls - a problem in her left foot. she let us pray and all the pain left. later when we filming testimonies, we found her and she testified on camera to her heali

Kingdom Encounters at the Beach

Today a large group of us headed out to bless people and see God's Kingdom released. Dozens of people were prayed for, prophesied over and a number were healed. Desert Princess was involved in seeing 3 young women come to Christ. I think I was most encourage to see how many accurate words of knowledge God gave for people - revealing back pain, wrist pain, neck pain, an Achilles issue, a blood clot and watched Him surprise these people by revealing pain. God is always so miraculous - oh yeh, that's His nature!

"can you do that to my other knee too"?

while shopping with my son, the employee who came to help limped up. I asked what was wrong and he said it was his left knee. I asked if I could pray. He let me and immediately began to feel like electricity and tingling in his knee. I told him that it was the power of God touching him. We left to go and check the price on an item in another store and returned about 15 minutes later. He comes up to me and I asked him how his knee was doing. He said it was better and then asked, "can you to that to my other knee too"? At that we prayed for his other knee, and the same thing happened - electricity and tingling. don't underestimate what God will do when you see anybody limping or in pain - remember we have been commanded to "heal the sick"!

Jesus visiting Muslims PERSONALLY

For years, we heard the stories of Jesus appearing to Muslims in either dreams or visions. Often, this is "key event" that brings them into God's Kingdom. However, until recently, we hadn't met with many Muslims who'd had this experience. I say "until recently" because in the past few months we seem to have met a number who've had this experience. Here is a list. 1. One Gulf Arab Muslim man 2. A Palestinian Muslim woman 3. An Iranian Muslim woman (who gave her life to Christ) right after Jesus appeared to her in a vision at our home. 4. An Egyptian Muslim woman - just heard about this one from one of our team members. Having been involved in evangelism amongst Muslims for many years, I have to say that having Jesus PERSONALLY appear to them is quite helpful!

treasuring hunting again

yesterday headed out with handful of revivalists and saw the Lord heal a few people - got to share the Gospel with several too. A word of knowledge for a Hispanic woman's back problem - we prayed for her. Another Hispanic man's back healed after we prayed for him twice. Two of us got a word of knowledge for a "left knee" while in Subway - got to pray for the employee who had the problem. One of our "clues" was about a man in a pizza restaurant, in shorts with a left knee problem - we found this man (the only man in the restaurant). He didn't want prayer for his knee (a ligament injury from years earlier) but we got to share with him about God's plan for his life. Just love to get out there and see what God will do.
