JOEL 2 GENERATION

this morning I went to visit a muslim friend in the hospital recovering from major heart surgery. i had prayed for him before the surgery and so I wasn't that encouraged. off I went to find someone else needing a Kingdom encounter. while inquiring about a mobile phone bill, I got a word of knowledge for the Gulf Arab muslim helping me. I asked him if he had a problem with his left elbow. He said, "I do, how did you know that"? He was talking on the phone so I told him I'd tell him after he was done. As I was waiting for him, I was standing in front of his colleague also a Gulf Arab and got a word of knowledge for a headache on the left side of the head in the temple area. He indeed struggled with headaches that manifested in that very part of his head. After the phone call, the first guy says, "before we do anything else, you have to tell me how you knew I had a problem with my left elbow". I quickly explained that the Lord had revealed it to me and...

last night I headed out to visit some muslim friends. It is Ramadan. I had a goal as I left the house last night, "I want to offer the Kingdom". while visiting with a couple of guys, I asked one how his wife was doing. this was a woman that Desert Princess and I had gone to pray for before (many problems/issues). He said that "she has a headache 24/7". Something rose up in me - first of all, we had prayed before and she was still in a horrible place (not acceptable). Secondly, we have seen so much breakthrough with headaches that this MUST GO - we've been COMMANDED to heal the sick! We set a time and so now we will go (in a couple of days) and release the Kingdom.

We are living in such special days - I believe those days began on the Day of Pentecost (the pouring out of the Spirit on 'all flesh') but for much of Church History, the expectation hasn't been that everyone gets to play. last night as a group of us gathered to worship seek God's face, it was the kids who stepped up and stepped out to pray for an injured young man - the Lord took away all of the pain. they also shared testimony of what God had done in their lives. Later the Lord took several of them into a place of revelation (pictures and visions) and they shared with all of us what the Lord had shown them. Those of us who love to train, equip and release people to do the works of Christ, would be wise to invest heavily into youth - even the 5, 6 and 7 year olds are stepping out to prophesy and heal the sick. These are marks of the End of the Age.

this has been a challenging week in terms of "spilling" - I've taken a few risks with words of knowledge in public, mostly with muslims and have had discouraging results. this morning while in a church service, everything changed. I had been really stirred up earlier in the morning reading about Prophetic minister Graham Cooke's experiences with words of knowledge (an accuracy that I have only read about and rarely witnessed!) First I got a word about a condition in the middle of the back. I didn't write that one down but then I began to write down words that the Lord was giving me - one word was "left ankle". As I stood next to man with tattoos, I got the word so I wrote down his description next to the word. I also go a word for a left shoulder and upper left arm condition - I wrote that down. When I had the opportunity, I approached the man with the tattoos and asked if he had an ankle problem. He didn't but then said that his wife did - s...

As we've returned to the Middle East, the Lord gathered a group of us together to be strengthened afresh, to prophesy and to contend for healing. As we find ourselves in the islamic fasting month of Ramadan, God will stretch forth His hand to heal those who are seeking God, but as the Scripture testify, their zeal (and seeking His approval) is NOT ACCORDING to knowledge. We know however that those who seek Him, are promised to find Him. May the Lord be leading us to those true seekers! It was so clear last night as we were seeking the Lord that His hand came upon us and renewed the vision of some who were weary. A fresh anointing from the Heaven to live out and release His supernatural Kingdom in this muslim country. Let the stories begin again of His mighty works flowing through His children....

WE LOVE TO GET THE MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION OF MIRACLES - here's one I received today from a recent ministry trip: DJ, you prayed over me with j and h and the Lord lengthened my right leg. I was hesitant to accept what I saw and felt. I work as a massage therepist inside a Physical Therapy office. The P.T. is a man of God also and he happens to be the peson who measured my legs the first time to determine that my hip problem was due to a leg deformity. My right leg was a half inch shorter. He has now remearsured and found out that the miracle was legitimate and that both of my legs are now exactly 86 cm. I smile every time I get to that part of the story... and I've told it has a testimony of God's love and favor for me many times to many different people in many walks of life.

this past weekend, I took a ministry trip to Oklahoma - it was to a Church I had been to once before. We had an amazing time in a couple of services and one outreach. Some of the highlights - after a word of knowledge for a left ear problem, a young man's deaf ear opened. The next morning we tested it out and it was sound. The Lord also touched an eye problem he had after another word of knowledge. In the 2 services, we saw a number of conditions healed - back pain, headaches, shoulder problems. Some conditions we will have to wait and see what the Lord did. During the outreach we saw a couple of guys healed in a skateboard park - interestingly, others who watched their friends get healed refused prayer for their own conditions (believe me, skateboard parks have lots of conditions that need healing amongst the skaters!). Another guy let us pray for what seemed to be a minor scrape and pain left his leg! A homeless man received healing in his knee and shoulder. Maybe the grea...
