JOEL 2 GENERATION

I had to make a quick trip to the market to pick up some things. We had been worshipping in the car on our way back from Church - as I walked into the store, I got a clear word of knowledge in my right shoulder. I knew it was for the men standing by the door as I had been talking to them when I entered. i went up and asked them which one had the shoulder problem. Two said they didn't, but the 3rd one did! I laid my hands on him and prayed. He was healed. How do I know he was healed? Because his friend asked him if he was healed, he told him yes, and then his muslim friend, Pakistani I believe, asked me to pray for him. All the while an Egyptian muslim man was watching. You've got to love healings breaking out at the market in a muslim country just a couple of days after Ramadan has ended.

while spending an evening with a precious Arab Christian family, we had the chance to minister healing, deliverance and salvation to some Sri Lankan women whose background was both buddhist and Christian. Round 1 - one of the women had seriously sprained her ankle and it was wrapped. We prayed and to her shock and amazement she began to walk normally and without any pain. Sprained ankles don't do that - unless the Kingdom comes. Round 2 - her friend had just witnessed a miracle and so we wanted to pray for her. She wasn't a follower of Jesus (maybe from a nominal Christian background). She was a bit nervous, but we wanted to pray for her anyway. We've simply got to get our hands on non-believers and ask the Holy Spirit to come. We leave the rest up to Him. so what happened? The Holy Spirit came in power and she collapsed on the floor under His mighty hand. I love "Holy Ghost Apologetics" - instead of us bringing the argument - He shows up and brings His. R...

Tuesday night we hit the streets again to release the Kingdom of God. However, this time it was different than many of the nights before. This time, a group of high schoolers joined us as we walked through crowds of people looking for treasure. We had one word for a right wrist and we found one guy whose friend had cancer in his wrist and another one who had right wrist pain. We got the number of the first and prayed for the latter, who, was pain free when we left. It's incredible to see a younger generation stepping into their destiny. These guys were just hanging out at the mall when we called them and told them what we were going to do. They didn't freak out, didn't want to debate all the nuances of theology-- they just said, sure, we'll meet you there. One, 14 years old, showed remarkable courage and stepped up to the plate and prayed for healing. They really had the mindset of being a blessing to the people around them. I'm encouraged to see that the S...

While buying some carpets today, I got a word of knowledge for someone with a headache in the front part of the their head - I asked the 3 muslim men working in the shop who had the problem, one of them said he did. I asked him to come and sit next to me. He did. One of the others asked, 'How did you know that he had a headache'? I was able to explain a bit of the Kingdom and also the gifts of healing and the word of knowledge. I prayed for him and asked him how it was. He said it was like 80% better. We prayed again. The headache left completely. Note: he had had it for 3 days. I came back after looking in a couple of other shops and got another word of knowledge - this time for a right knee problem. I asked the same guys. This time another one came forward. He let me pray. We checked it out - all the pain was gone. When I went to get in the car, my wife had been watching and said that she could feel God's presence while I was praying for the guy's knee. ...

While in a restaurant tonight, I noticed an Indian family sitting across the room. The Lord showed me by a word of knowledge that one of them had a headache. I thought it might have been for the husband but it was the wife who had the headache. I told her that the Lord had revealed to me her condition. I said I would bring my wife to pray for her. Desert Princess came in and prayed for her – God’s power came and the headache left. She asked, “Did you feel anything?” The woman said, “yes, I did, really I did”. Then she said, “I need to see you again”! Numbers were exchanged. It is amazing how quickly a Kingdom connection is made when a healing miracle occurs!

While waiting for my kids to come out of school, the Lord began to speak to me about the muslim man sitting next to me who was waiting for his kids. I struck up a conversation and then I took the risk, “By the way, do you or someone in your family have some kind of a nerve problem that causes numbing on the left side of your face”. He begins to tell me about a nerve problem on the left side of his neck that affects that area. Next I ask him if he has an upper back problem. He confirms that he has problems with his upper back with his lumbar disks. The next question always comes – “How did you know I have these problems”? I explained to him that I knew them by “revelation” from God. He had some familiarity with Christian saints who worked miracles (he was from Lebanon) and so I had natural bridge to speak about Divine Healing. It wasn’t the right place to minister to him, but we exchanged numbers and are going to meet for his “Healing Appointment”. To be continued…

The other night I had the opportunity to minister yet again to someone battling with cancer - after seeing cancer healed 3 times in the past year, we are eager to keep 'swinging the bat' to see what God will do. This time it was a woman battling breast cancer which had spread to other places. I shared the testimonies of what God had done, especially over the summer in terms of destroying cancer (one of God's favorite pastimes!). We prayed and now we are asking the Lord to make it possible for the doctors to order another scan before they start chemotherapy. I'll let you know what happens. Also, I am waiting for the results of friend's tests after praying for his prostrate cancer. I'll also keep you posted. The bottom line is that cancer IS BEING HEALED and we should be praying for God to destroy it whenever and wherever we find it. For years I prayed for people with cancer, but with little to no expectation that God would really do anything. Times have cha...
