angels STILL visit people today

i think most of us are so "used to" the Biblical accounts of angels visiting people that we really have no idea how radical it was for some category of glowing, angelic being to appear to people bringing a message from heaven. no wonder they seem to always say, "Do NOT be afraid"! Let's face it, we would ALL be afraid. I say that knowing that many people in Charismatic circles these days talk about "visiting heaven" like they went to rent a movie. If Paul couldn't talk about his experience of visiting the 3rd Heaven FOR YEARS, then I would question many of the so-called experiences that people "claim" to be having. I know that people might be having prophetic experiences but let's do ourselves a favor in the direction of restoring credibility and stop cheapening the currency. The bottom line is that in the Scriptures when people visited heaven or heaven visited them (i.e. an angel) it changed EVERYTHING. I met a man last night

an afternoon of miracles and an evening of encounter (part 2)

just when we thought a day couldn't get any better, we joined a group of others for our weekly encounter God meeting. after seeing God heal so many people at the healing service (we tried to "add up" the miracles and counted like 30 people healed), we were expectant that our time of seeking God would be something special. there were also some visitors with us that night. many began to have experience the Lord in powerful ways. prophetic words were coming for people, including the visitors that were especially impacted by the words the Lord gave. one of the people in attendance who recently gave her life to the Lord out of Islam, had a very special encounter with the Lord. she was totally overwhelmed with God's love and His peace. this is exactly what former muslims need - not words and concepts, but ENCOUNTERS with God's love.

an afternoon of miracles and an evening of encounter (part 1)

this past weekend we saw the Lord move in miraculous ways. first of all a team of us were invited to minister in a healing service. there were a number of different nationalities present and the Lord began reveal different conditions, even for specific people. first the Lord highlighted one of the Africans in the worship band and gave a word of knowledge for the back of the head and neck. she had that problem. she was healed. there were a number of other words that the Lord gave us - right shoulder, right wrist, left calf and stomach pain in the lower left abdomen. Each of these conditions were healed. one man had a chronic condition for 20 years that the Lord healed after he responded to a word of knowledge. Also, people came forward for others conditions that were unrelated and many of them were healed as well. by the end of the meeting, many were touched as God took pain out of people's bodies. probably the most encouraging thing was that it was a "team effort&quo

loving people with God's power in manifestation

this past week we saw more healings than I've seen in a while. it began with a "treasure hunt" where I took out a young couple and we got to see God touch a number of different nationalities - Iranians, Arabs, Filipinos, Indians and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple of others. it was just so good to be "out" doing what we were created for. we saw a number of accurate words of knowledge for people who then let us pray for their conditions. one Indian man was healed on the spot and told his Iranian co-worker that all the pain had left his foot. a Gulf Arab muslim woman was surprised when the Lord revealed her shoulder pain - she also let us pray for her. a couple of filipino women were healed in a small restaurant. it was just a great night living life the way Kingdom people live. loving people with God's power in manifestation.
