miracles in the mountains - part 4

at the end of our evening, we were walking by some more shops and one really caught the attention of one of our group. she felt led to really pray for this rather "dark" shop with lots of occult stuff inside (it was closed). she sensed some demonic presence. as we prayed for the shop, we asked God to release His light into the darkness. as we closed, our friend discerned that an angel had come. why do I share this? wait till you hear what happens next. we turn the corner and there are two women and man loading up a car. I got a word of knowledge for a right wrist condition. I approached them and asked and one of the woman had the problem. i asked if her friend could put her hand on her as I prayed, but she wouldn't let anybody touch her! she was adamant. I asked if she would lay hands on herself - she agreed. we prayed and something began to happen in her wrist. then she left with her husband but the other woman remained. who was this woman? she was the...

miracles in the mountains - part 3

at night we headed out again to see what the Lord would do as we reached out with His Kingdom. we went to an arcade to drop our kids off before we launched out thinking we we going to visit some bars to pray for people. while at the arcade the Lord gives me a word for a young woman who happens to have been in the youth group my friends had led. it was for a problem in the head and I felt that there was dizziness involved. she had this problem and actually a number of other health issues that we got to pray for. It was just a powerful divine appointment to minister Christ to this young woman and reconnect her with our friends. a few of us then headed out and as we approached a bar, I got a word of knowledge for a problem in the lower right arm (below the elbow). there was a man and woman standing outside the bar and I approached them and asked. the man actually had the condition. he asked me "are you a healer?". I told him I was. He then say asked, "and you s...

miracles in the mountains - part 2

in the second leg of our outreach, we decided to go to a marina where there was wake boarding - why not mix miracle and fun sports activities?? as we were signing our kids up, I asked if anybody had an pain and that we would "take it away for free". The man who signed us up had back pain. He let me pray for him in Jesus' Name and after praying two times his pain was gone! another guy working there also had back pain and let me pray for him too - he too was healed! my friend was also able to really share Christ with a third guy who worked there and explained what we were doing as we prayed for the sick and saw Jesus heal them.

miracles in the mountains - part 1

yesterday we headed up to join some of our friends to "spill" up in a mountain city. we headed out in two groups to simply love the people we would meet and see what God would do. as we started out I was drawn into a tattoo shop (light just loves to shine into darkness!). I started talking with the owner(?) about Celtic crosses and told him how Egyptian Christians would often tattoo the cross on their children's wrists so that the muslims couldn't take their children and claim their were theirs! I thought I got of knowledge (for neck/shoulder) for the man but he took a phone call and I couldn't ask him. I asked another guy who was actually a former employee of our friends who were with us and he didn't have a neck problem but did have a back of the knee problem. I told him I was a pastor and we talked a little about the Kingdom and I said, "watch this". I asked him to put his own hand on the back of his knee and prayed a quick prayer in Je...

a crystal-clear clarification - IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS!

last night I was horrified to discover that a friend of mine had shown this blog to some of her Christian friends and they dismissed it and were very critical of what we are writing because somehow they thought I wasn't talking enough about Jesus!!! Now, first of all I want to publicly be as clear as I can be - none of the miracles that we have seen and documented here have happened EXCEPT by Jesus, through Jesus and for Jesus. I pray ALWAYS in the Name of Jesus. I talk with those who are healed about Jesus. I clearly identify myself as a Follower of Jesus Christ. Secondly, I will be more clear in all future blog posts as to what I have mentioned verbally to the people we minister to about Jesus. Sometimes I throw up a quick testimony and give a "summary" of what happened. I guess I "assumed" that the people reading would know that I have clearly pointed to Jesus EACH AND EVERY TIME we release the Kingdom of God. It is true that I am content often t...
