mall miracle for Gulf Arab muslim woman

2009-11-08T16:46:00.000+03:00

Last night as we were leaving the mall I saw a women limping into the mall. At first I pretended that I didn’t see her as I knew my husband would strongly encourage me to go for it. Sometimes I give into the fear and the inconvenience of it all so I appreciate my husband’s loving encouragement. When he said, “ you are not going to let her go are you?” I bolted back into the mall before I could talk myself out of it. I approached this muslim woman and asked her why she was limping. She told me that had just injured her knee as she was getting out of her car. I told her that God loves to heal and asked if I could pray for her. We looked for a place to sit but the benches were taken so we went into a funky furniture store and sat on one of their couches. I put my hand on her knee, prayed in Jesus name, she said she felt warmth in her knee and then she just got up and started to walked around. All the pain was gone. She asked if I only did knee’s, I told her that God heals everything. I also shared with her how God heals our heart too, she then opened up how she was very down about a recent split she had with a friend. She said she was just driving around and around the city because she was so sad about it and then her sister called her and told her to come to the mall to see a movie to get her mind off of her sadness. I prayed for the situation with her and talked to her about forgiveness. She took my number and I told her I was willing to help her in anyway. She had tears in her eyes and was visibly touched by the love of God. Isn’t it amazing how God sets us up, He lines things up so that He can touch those who wouldn’t normally hear from Him. Every time I see God move it makes me not want to miss any opportunity that God has put in front of me. To think that our little minute by minute decisions can change someone’s life forever. So, GO FOR IT!!! God is on the move and He wants to use YOU to bring His love into a very dark world.

"I'm shocked right now!", declares Gulf Arab muslim man after God healed him

2009-11-08T16:38:00.003+03:00

today I saw a man with a neck brace. I asked him what happened. He told me he woke up 3 days earlier with it and had been in pain since them. He said it was hurting at the time. I asked him if he had a minute and invited him into my office. A friend of his joined me.

I asked if I could pray for him and he agreed. I prayed for once and he said it improved. I prayed again and all the pain left on one side. He took off the neck brace to check it out. There was still pain in the back of his neck. I asked if I could pray again. He agreed. I prayed once last time and ALL the pain left! At this point, I shared a bit more about my faith and why we pray for the sick. I asked him if he was going to put the neck brace back on - he said, "I don't need it anymore". At that point, he looked at me and said, "I'm shocked right now"! He and his friend left.

I'm glad I took the risk and asked him what was wrong - I think he'll be back to find out more about the Jesus who healed his neck!

arches form in flat feet and other God stuff

2009-11-06T23:59:00.002+03:00

tonight as about 20 of us gathered to seek the Lord, He began to move - words of knowledge began to come. a neck was healed. a left arm. THEN one of the most unusual healings we've ever seen - arches grew in the flat feet of a young man! first one came and then the other. Amazing night! God's presence was powerful and many prophetic words came as well. There were other healings as well - chronic leg/back pain, a tooth problem and even pain in someone's tonsils. This is just the "way things should be". It's fun to be normal!

breakthroughs in healing

2009-11-06T08:26:00.002+03:00

the other night we went to visit a couple of people in need of healing miracles. one Indian man had been partially paralyzed after a heart attack a number of years ago. the Lord gave several words of knowledge to direct us in prayer - both for the man and for his wife.

confined to a wheel chair, we prayed for he and his wife. this was the text message I received the following day about what the Lord did:

the man "slept peacefully, various pains drastically reduced, vision lot better, total body movement increased. joy and happiness in (their voices). Her (the wife's) back and neck healed".

Rejoicing in what the Lord has done!

Gulf Arab muslim woman healed after word of knowledge

2009-11-04T17:04:00.001+03:00

I went to visit a muslim woman this week. We had good discussion as her daughter had had a complete deliverance years ago in a church here. She also told me of her neighbor who told people’s fortunes by looking inside their empty espresso coffee cup. I told her about the power that we have in God to see peoples destinies, to bring encouragement, to bring healing to hearts and for physical healing as well. I really wanted to demonstrate God’s power somehow so that I wasn’t just speaking words but “showing her the money.” As I was sitting listening to the conversations going on in the room I felt a sharp ear pain. At first I thought it was mine because the pain lasted a minute or two so I asked asked God about it and then the pain was completely gone. I was so excited because I knew it was a word of knowledge from the Lord. We had been there about 2 hours and no one had mentioned anything about an ear pain during the visit but I decided to take the leap. The pain came when I was talking to the woman of the house so I asked her if she had pain in her right ear, she looked at me blankly and then said yes I have pain in my ear and below it as well. Getting words of knowledge is so fun and I knew that she would be healed because the word of knowledge was correct and because the Lord loves to reveal His love to muslims. Another muslim woman was sitting next to me on the phone and she said to the woman, “she sees?” Then she turned to me and asked “what do you see for me?” I didn’t answer because I wanted to pray for the other woman first and then see what God has for her. My friend and I layed our hands on her and prayed in Jesus name that she would be healed and I put a few other blessings in there as well. When we took our hands away she said the pain was gone from her ear and her neck. She said she could feel a tingling sensation on the ear and on her neck. The sensation lasted another half an hour and she still had it when we left. I told her that was she was feeling was the Holy Spirit healing her. On a funny note the woman sitting next to me who was on the phone the entire time was giving play by play details the another woman on the other line about the word of knowledge I got and she then began to describe exactly what we were doing as we put our hands on her ear etc. I had to shut out her voice so I could focus on what God was doing so I don’t know what else she said. There is something so incredible about partnering with God, I felt like I could fly after the visit. This country is so dark and when I see God break into a muslim home I feel like I am in heaven. I am so thankful to the Lord for using me, nothing is more exciting than bringing HIS light into a country filled with lost souls.

healings follow the release of words of knowledge

2009-10-31T11:44:00.003+03:00

we are meeting with a group of about 20 who are hungry to grow in the supernatural as they reach out to the lost. testimonies were shared from this last week and many had God encounters and shared the Gospel with power to the lost.

yesterday the group waited on the Lord, He started to give words of knowledge (one for a right ear problem, another for a knee problem, and a third for a headache). the people who got the words prayed for the people with those particular conditions and each one was healed.

we also got to get an update from an Indian woman who we had prayed for last week with a neck brace - she was completely healed! one of the class members from Lebanon followed up with this woman (who had another back issue) and she was healed. This led to about 3 other healings as the woman whose neck and back had been healed took her to her friends!

going after blindness again - this time a Syrian muslim man

2009-10-29T17:06:00.002+03:00

Desert Princess has been telling me for months that the man who sells ice cream near our house is blind. I finally met him a few weeks ago, but had no opportunity to pray (he was busy). Today my daughter and I stopped by (to get ice cream too of course) and I knew it was time to "swing the bat" at blindness again.

Before I continue the story, I have to say that I've had a love/hate relationship with praying for the blind. I prayed for a number of blind people before seeing two blind eyes open about 5 years ago. Since then, NOTHING. Believe me when I say it hasn't been for the lack of trying. The dilemma I have is this - God's Word says "the blind WILL see". It doesn't say they "might", or they "could", or "if it's God's will", or "when it's God's timing", etc. The WORD is clear. It is our experience that is lacking.

So there you have it - my dilemma, and I'm buying ice cream from a blind Syrian muslim man. So I grab his hand (in public) and begin to pray for God to heal his eyes. Then I think - "why don't I have my hands on his eyes?" So I let go of his hands and put my hand on his eyes and begin to pray in Jesus' Name. As far as I could tell, absolutely nothing happened. I told him I will come see him tomorrow to see if there is any change. You see there is another dilemma I am facing - I also believe that when a Spirit-filled, Kingdom messenger puts his/her hand on anybody in Jesus' Name something has to happen. How can it not?

Pray for my dilemmas!!!

muslim man confirms prophetic word as accurate

2009-10-28T21:37:00.002+03:00

we had had a muslim visitor to our 'encounter meeting' in our home. he had been invited by one of our community. at one point, we asked if we could pray for him and prophesy over him. while praying, I got a word about an issue of betrayal (actually I really had sensed it was some type of abuse but of course didn't reveal that). The Lord gave me some more details too.

Just today I finally got the feedback from him. He confirmed that the word had been accurate. I think he'll be back!

syrian muslim woman's knee pain leaves after asking for prayer

2009-10-28T21:30:00.002+03:00

a syrian muslim woman was visiting my house. she had had an operation and still had quite a bit of knee pain. she asked if I would pray for her healing (I had prayed for her mother before). she could feel 'tingling' and heat while I prayed. afterwards she tested it out and there was no more pain.

i followed up with today and there is still one thing she cannot do - she can't jump up and down on it. I guess we'll set up another prayer appointment. she had said before I even prayed that "you will pray UNTIL I am healed". I love it when muslims prophesy!

a spirit of sobriety

2009-10-25T04:34:00.002+03:00

the Apostle Paul speaks of having a sober spirit in many different passages - 1 Thes 5:6 & 1 Peter 5:8, 1 Peter 4:7. In fact, of all the sermons I heard as when in high school, I can only remember 1 or 2 of the messages. One of them was 1 Peter 4:7 - speaking of having a 'sober spirit'. I probably had no idea at the time what that even meant, but every now and then you hear a message, that brings this very spirit over you. Everything becomes clear. What is really important comes into clear focus. This message from Allen Hood is one of those types of messages. Just make sure you carve out time to pray after listening. Friends, what he shares about our generation has happened ON OUR SHIFT! It has happened while we've been "on duty".

words, words, and words of knowledge

2009-10-23T17:40:00.002+03:00

this morning about 35 of us gathered to learn about the word of knowledge. we shared testimonies of words of knowledge that the Lord had given within the last 7 days. I then taught about this important, but neglected spiritual gift. the most fun was when it came time to imparting/releasing the gift. 10-15 people started receiving words of knowledge as we waited on the Holy Spirit. To see people activated is one of the most fun things in the life of the Kingdom!

I called out one word of knowledge that the Lord had given me at the beginning of the meeting - then when it came back later, without praying for the person with the actual problem, the Lord HEALED her! fun, fun, fun.

treasure hunting in the muslim world-pt 2

2009-10-22T00:24:00.003+03:00

in the middle of a number of wrong words of knowledge (I missed with an Egyptian muslim, a Nepali hindu, a Filipino Catholic, and one or two others I can't now remember), we were in this shop and I was talking to a Syrian muslim about miracles (what else is there to talk about???) and a Bedouin Gulf Arab muslim man walks in. After a minute or so, a really strong word of knowledge returns for a left knee problem - I knew it was for him. It kept getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, I overcame whatever hesitation/fear of man issues that were trying to hold me back and ask him what is wrong with his knee - specifically his left knee. He was seriously taken back by this question - saying "what has God willed?" over and over again in Arabic. I just got really bold and said, "When you walked into this shop, the Lord spoke to me by revelation and showed me that you have a left knee problem". And a problem he sure had - metal rods in the knee (a quad accident). I knelt down to pray for him (which he was more than willing to have me do - unlike the two hesitant, fundamentalists earlier!. I told him that I wanted him to call me in the next day. I explained that God was going to do something remarkable - why else would He have shown me such a specific problem? He agreed with the reasoning. I even told him that I wouldn't be surprised if God removed the metal rods - to show His Glory.

That was a really good shop visit - especially after all the wrong words. The critical truth, keep swinging the bat until you get a hit!!!

treasure hunting in the muslim world

2009-10-22T00:03:00.002+03:00

tonight, Columba (my charismatic, prophetic, Anglican, British friend) and I headed out to see what God would do. the Lord gave us some pictures and clues as we prayed. One was to go to a specific Starbucks and we'd meet someone on the stairs in front, others clues included words of knowledge for different conditions (most of which we did not find, some of which we did though!)

it was just good to be out, following the Wild Goose (the Celtic term for the Holy Spirit). I always say that "we don't go home, UNTIL we see SUPERNATURAL things happen". Since we went home, you know what has happened! here are some of the things we saw happen.

1) saw a couple of Bedouin muslims and one had a cane and his foot was in a cast. OF COURSE we stopped them. after asking about what happened (he burned the bottom and top of his foot - don't ask how!), I knelt down and just basically began to pray. I knew there might be some resistance had we a) spoken Arabic to them and b) if we asked them first for permission to pray (Note: conservative muslims don't want Christians praying for them!). I snuck in with English and began praying before they even knew what had happened! While I was praying, one figured it out and said to his friend in Arabic, "he's reading over you" (the expression they use for what I was doing, which basically comes from their practice of reading their scriptures over a sick person). Then he tried to say, "NO, NO" (as in I shouldn't be doing it and his friend shouldn't be allowing it). To which I looked up at him and said, "YES, YES" and just continued to pray. Basically, the Lord gave us a fun encounter with these guys. I gave them my number and asked him to call me tomorrow to let me know what had changed.

2) i'll have to say that I found a high percentage of my words of knowledge were NOT words of knowledge tonight - it happens, I'll get over it. the wrong words, did turn into some opportunities though - you've gotta love the way God can redeem ANYTHING! This happened with the picture that I had of Starbucks. We ended up finding a guy on the stairs - the manager (a Christian from India). He needed no prayer when we first met him. None of the words of knowledge fit for him either. we left. At the end of our evening, we came back and found him again. He had said, "I knew you guys were going to come back" (he really seemed to have a prophetic gift - for which I encouraged him to read 1 Cor 14. When we returned, he said he remembered he had a shoulder problem. Columba prayed and he felt the Holy Spirit touching his shoulder. After this, the Lord began to give me a number of prophetic words for him about his wife, and some other things. It was really fun to FIND OUR TREASURE and call out his destiny.

just discovered muslim man healed from 1 year ago!

2009-10-18T20:59:00.002+03:00

about a year ago, I had gone to a coffee shop and had gotten a word of knowledge for a Pakistani muslim man who worked there. I had prayed for him (which I remember doing) but at the time nothing had happened.

last night I was in the same place and asked a man if he had a wrist problem (I was getting another word of knowledge). Then he says, "you prayed for me and my leg was healed". That was the first I had heard about the miracle.

This story illustrates a powerful truth - we keep praying for lots of people and often we don't see immediate results. We sow widely and leave the results with the Lord. Every now and then, He lets us sees what has happened. Heaven is going to be an amazing place because we will discover ALL that God did - even when we thought nothing had happened!

at least 9 healings this morning, and 4 more tonight

2009-10-16T23:49:00.002+03:00

this morning during a service we were doing, the Lord began to speak - He gave me a number of words of knowledge and we saw two necks/shoulders healed, a right knee healed, a right leg healed, knuckles, pain leaving someone's right eye and several other things. A man who had had polio as a child had one leg that was significantly shorter than another - we prayed and the short leg grew out before all of our eyes! It ended up growing past the other one. What to do? We prayed for the other one and they became the same length. It was amazing! God just showed up and did what He loves to do - heal people!

if that wasn't enough, tonight after sharing these testimonies and worshipping, the Lord began to give more words of knowledge (right foot, left knee and sinus pain headache) and proceeded to heal each one. Also, a shoulder was healed too!

A day where we counted 13 healings - may more days be THIS NORMAL!!

Gulf Arab muslim man's shoulder touched

2009-10-13T19:00:00.002+03:00

as I was walking by a group of muslim men, I got a word of knowledge about a shoulder problem. I came up to the men and asked who had this particular problem. As I was asking, I felt like the Lord also showed me it was from lifting something. This one guy says he has the problem. I didn't get the opportunity to pray at that point as they were busy. About 5 minutes later I returned and this man was leaving, so it was a perfect opportunity to minister to him.

I told him that I believed God wanted to heal him. I quickly put my hand on the shoulder and began to pray. (I've learned that often it's better not to explain what you are about to do with muslims - I just quickly begin praying before they can somehow object or say no:)

After a quick prayer, I asked him what he was feeling in the shoulder. He said it was tingling. He checked it out and said there was no pain. (there had been pain before when he lifted it).

Then he asks for my telephone number - that's a good sign, he wants to talk more. I told him to let me know tomorrow if it was still pain free. I can't wait to tell him about the HEALER who touched his shoulder!

first his elbow, now its grandma's turn!

2009-10-12T21:59:00.002+03:00

About a month ago, the Lord healed a muslim man's elbow after a word of knowledge (see "Gulf arab muslim's elbow healed after word of knowledge" (9/9)

I have been trying to follow up with this man ever since - he took my number but hasn't called. I have dropped by his work place several times but so far nothing has happened.

Tonight I went to see him again and this time, I got another word of knowledge. this time it was about hearing loss in both ears and I knew it was for someone in his close immediate family.

I asked him who it was who had this problem - he said it was his grandmother. I told him that my wife would LOVE to meet with her and would pray for her healing. the ball is again in his court. As I left, I told him to not forget about his grandma!

We'll see what happens - God is obviously working on this man's life.

working out AND healing the sick

2009-10-12T17:37:00.003+03:00

this morning during my workout, I had asked the Lord to open a door. I wanted to minister to someone. There were lots of people out where I do my workouts.

towards the end of my workout, I saw a woman walking with a cane. I had my 'target':) I approached her and asked her what had happened. She had had an operation 5 years earlier but was still in pain.

I told her that I pray for the sick and asked if we could go and sit down on a nearby bench. When we sat down, I noticed that she was wearing a cross. I asked her a bit about her faith. She was a Lebanese Catholic woman.

She pulled up her pant leg so I could put my hand directly on her knee. (which was cute). The Holy Spirit began to come upon her and she was clearly encountering God. I felt power being released! I took my hand away after praying and asked if she had felt anything. These days it seems that when I ask this question they will almost always say yes. She said she felt heat!

I asked if she would test it out but she seemed a bit nervous to do that. That was the end of our time as she seemed like she wanted to go. Not sure if the encounter with God freaked her out a little. Hopefully I'll see her again in the same spot soon!

"so you're a healer," says Syrian muslim woman

2009-10-12T17:05:00.002+03:00

I was invited to go pray for a Syrian muslim woman who had dizziness and stomach problems. I knew that she would be receptive because attended Catholic schools growing up. Interestingly, she loves to go to Church!

I started by sharing lots of testimonies of people being healed. She responded, "so this is your good energy" and I said, "No! It's Jesus' power flowing through me!".

She wanted to know if there was anything she needed to during prayer. I just told her to relax and receive. As I prayed, the sharp stomach pain left. It kept coming back though.

While I was praying, she asked if I would pray loudly because she loves to hear Christians pray!

At the end of our time, she said she felt better but not 100%. We'll see how she is tomorrow. Even though she wasn't completely healed, she said, "so, you're a healer!" Of course I said, "Yes, I am!" She recognized the authority and honored it! May more muslims see our authority!

trained in supernatural ministry

2009-10-09T09:40:00.003+03:00

for years, I had read books that cast a vision for the miraculous - I confess it wasn't the main focus of my reading, but I did read books like Wimber's "Power Evangelism" and "Power Healing". I read Jack Deere's books in the early 90's too - "Surprised by the Power of the Spirit and Surprised by the Voice of God". Even as I am remember, I read John White's book in the late 80's, "When the Spirit Comes in Power".

So why did these books not produce fruit in my life at the time? Why didn't I start to see an increase in healings? I would pray for the sick from time to time. Why wasn't I growing in the prophetic gifts? "All MAY prophesy", Paul teaches!

It wasn't because I lacked an understanding. I had been TAUGHT. But not in the way Jesus taught His disciples. Teaching for Jesus included DEMONSTRATION, PARTNERSHIP and ultimately RELEASE.

First He demonstrated healing and prophecy. He showed people the miraculous! It wasn't enough to give them didactic teaching. They SAW power. This was a critical stage for me personally - I needed to see these things. And for some reason, I was in Church for years without seeing any real demonstrations of power - even in Churches that were charismatic.

Secondly, Jesus partnered with His disciples in the supernatural. This is such an important part. He would do these things with them. He was present. They would be watching and doing the miracles. Again I can't stress how important this was for us. I had seen some stuff (conferences, etc.) but now I wanted to participate. The Lord has raised up many (Randy Clark, Bill Johnson and a host of other ministries) where people can go and participate in the miraculous themselves. We did this - and we saw deaf ears open of people we prayed for. We saw two blind eyes open. The Lord gave us the opportunity to partner with others a number of times like this.

Finally, Jesus released people to go and do the stuff when He wasn't there. He sent out the 12; He sent out the 70 and ultimately the vision for Pentecost was the beginning of the fulfillment of the Great Commission from Matthew 28. This stage also implied the confidence and the authority to repeat the entire cycle over again. Disciples who can demonstrate God's Power. Disciples who can invite others to join them in partnership and then ultimately release their own disciples to go and do the same.

We somehow have lost this process of discipleship as it relates to the supernatural. The Church has either not expected it to be possible (which is simple English is UNBELIEF). Elaborate theologies have been created to explain away our lack of power - i.e. cessationism (the miraculous gifts 'ceased' when the original Apostles died). Another major barrier has been unbiblical ideas about God's sovereignty and control (this is just FATALISM). This error says that 'if God wants to heal, He will' regardless of our role/partnership/anointing, etc. I think for years the reason I didn't pursue God's power with more diligence was because I simply had wrong ideas about how the Kingdom worked. I thought that if God wanted to give me a gift, He would. My pursuit, my desire and my growth notwithstanding. I also knew nothing of impartation which is the conveying of a spiritual gift through the laying on of hands. Hebrews 6 considers this to be a basic, fundamental Christian doctrine. Somehow the Bible Schools and 2 seminaries that I attended along with the many different ministries I had association with didn't remember to teach/emphasize this.

All this to say - make sure you are SEEING. Then align yourself with others with whom you can DO IT in partnership so that one day you will BE DOING IT by yourselves as you enlist others into the process that you are now repeating.

MORE POWER TO YOU!!!

to end an already great day - gulf arab muslim healed

2009-10-03T00:38:00.002+03:00

we gathered for our weekly encounter God meeting and the Holy Spirit began to come. A real spirit of prophecy came upon us and many received pictures and others even visions. A muslim young man had come with one of our regulars. We didn't know if he wanted prayer but he said he did. He began to get a series of prophetic words from different people - the Lord spoke a word of knowledge about a problem in his right leg/foot. He had one - we prayed and he was healed. The Lord also revealed some of the secrets of his heart (as the Lord often does with unbelievers).

what a day - healings and prophecy in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. Sounds like another NORMAL KINGDOM DAY - let's be more normal!

restaurant healings after church healings

2009-10-03T00:34:00.002+03:00

why not continue the healing service at a restaurant? seems like something Jesus would do.

I got a word of knowledge for one of the employees. I had the hostess go and see who had the pain in the back of the head. She came back and said it was for a guy in the back but that "he was shy". I told her to tell him that I was a pastor. He came out. We then went to the back to pray. He had had an accident. We prayed and the pain began to leave. He still had a little bit of pain and so I sent one of our team back - he prayed for him twice and he said that ALL the pain was gone.

Before leaving, I got another word of knowledge for a neck problem. Desert Princess and her friend went to pray for the Filipino server who responded to the word. She was completely healed - and was in tears!

not a bad lunch - but then there was our nightly meeting (next blog post)

God breaks in with prophecy and healings

2009-10-03T00:23:00.002+03:00

this morning Desert Princess and I spent about 1/2 hour prophesying in a meeting. The Lord gave us a number of words for about 15 different people - we had a number of confirmations that we had heard clearly. One woman had been given exactly the same word that I gave her before and it was in her heart to move in the direction and ministry that the Lord had spoken. At the end, we called out a number of words of knowledge for healing - and so Christ the Healer began to heal.

We called out...
left shoulder - 3 were completely healed, one other about 75% - one guy was just totally in disbelief!
left knee - a woman who'd had surgery and was in chronic pain, was completely healed
pain in ribs - woman healed
right ear problem (a new condition) - man with ear infection felt something happening, would have to go an check it out

There were also other encounters - Desert Princess ministered to several woman who had major first-time encounters with the Holy Spirit.

Oh what fun Church can be! (and should be!!) - and then we went to lunch (next blog post)

Egyptian muslim man's teeth healed

2009-09-27T10:20:00.002+03:00

A couple of weeks ago I had gotten a word of knowledge for a muslim shopkeeper near my house about a problem he was having in the left side of his mouth (story posted here - http://joel2generation.blogspot.com/2009/09/egyptian-muslim-man-asks-who-told-you.html)

I had tried to go back several times to see what had happened but due to Ramadan activities I hadn't seen him. Finally, I saw him the other day and asked him, "How is the pain in your mouth?". He said, "It's gone". I asked if it left the day I had prayed for him and he said that was when it left. I told him that God had blessed him and now I need to tell him more about the God who he doesn't know and His Son, Jesus.
