Lots of pain healed and lots of joy

Here are several recent stories of God encountering people we prayed over:
  • A guy named Joe had a toe amputated recently and the pain was really bad. We prayed for him after church a few weeks ago and all three of us felt God's presence hit him. After a few minutes we asked about the pain and with his eyes closed and a smile on his face, he said "What pain? I haven't felt this good in months."
  • One night in a local Kroger grocery store we met a gentleman named Hank, who was in a wheelchair and just had his kidneys removed because of cancer. There in the frozen food section, we invited our friend Holy Ghost to touch him...and He did. Hank said he felt a "warm buzz" all over his body, and his legs, which he couldn't use, were "humming." A few minutes later his wife came over to see what was going on, and our friend Holy Ghost touched her too. They were really down about Hank's health and everything they have been through, and she had been crying on the way to the store, asking God to do something. After God touched them, they both felt such peace...like weights had been lifted off. Hank's wife said she felt like she was floating off the ground.
  • Also in Kroger that night, we met a young lady using an electric scooter who was injured in a car wreck last year. She had ruptured one of the vertebrae and her spinal cord was nicked, leaving her unable to walk. After a few rounds of prayer, she felt "something lift off" her back, and some of her pain was gone, our friend Holy Ghost also spoke some words of encouragement and made her feel much more peaceful. She was very appreciative.
  • Three of us went into a trailer park near our church looking for targets Friday night. We spotted a guy that had come to church a couple months ago and tracked him down. We found out he recently quit smoking (which we prayed about a few months ago). After chatting for a few minutes we prayed for some pain and stiffness in his knee, which all went away, and proceeded to declare the kingdom in his life. Immediately after that, the guy began coughing and hacking. He sat down and coughed for a while, then coughed up some stuff and stopped. Not sure what, but something came out of him just then, because he said "I feel all clean inside." We went after it again and Holy Ghost gave him a dose of joy.
  • Scott and I went to a church near Aurora, IN Saturday night with some new friends of ours, where we had the opportunity to minister to some folks after the service. Scott had a word of knowledge about chest pain, and it turned out to be a young girl there. Holy Ghost wanted to give out some joy so a few people took Him up on the offer. The first lady we touched ended up on the floor, rolling around laughing for 10 minutes. Scott had a very accurate word for another lady, who felt God's peace afterward.
  • Last one. Sunday morning we prayed with 5 or 6 people to receive joy after service, and they were all touched significantly by God. Prayed with a lady whose hip and back were injured in an accident and had been diagnosed with scoliosis. As we prayed, we watched her gradually bend over further and further, as God restored her back. When we were done, she was free from pain and had a big smile on her face.

Testimonies...it's starting to spread

Apparently this healing stuff is contagious because there are some people seeing God do amazing things through them. PLEASE TRY THIS AT HOME and send me your testimonies.
  • Lori prayed for a friend at work who had a hole in her ear drum a couple weeks ago. Her friend came by last week and said "I'm healed." The ear drum had healed up completely.
  • Joe's wife had a small bump/growth on her eye that had been bothering her for a month or so. Joe said he rebuked that thing and later that night she rubbed her eye and it came off.
  • An 8 month old boy went to the hospital last Sunday and doctors said he had a blood infection that would require months of intravenous antibiotics as well as a bacteria problem in his stomach called "C. Diff." I prayed with them on Tuesday. On Wednesday his blood cultures came back clear and the staff said the blood sample must have been contaminated by something on the skin, because it's gone now and there's no way it could go away that fast. We have a different theory. Mom also told me that her son had a procedure on his stomach last year that made it impossible for him to burp or throw up. He hadn't burped or thrown up since September and on Wednesday he started burping and throwing up. Not sure what's going on in there, but I believe God is up to something in that stomach. They went home from the hospital on Friday at which time he was keeping his food down.
  • Scott and I prayed for a great Christian lady battling cancer last week. She has seen some improvement with pain and the TUMOR IN HER THROAT IS SHRINKING! We are continuing to contend for her complete healing.
  • I saw God heal two people of foot pain on Sunday morning that started with a word of knowledge. One man was completely healed of pain in both feet and another guy was getting healed OVER THE CELL PHONE. His pain went from a 12 to a 5 in about 10 minutes and when we got off the phone he was able to put weight on the foot where before it caused incredible pain to even lay a sheet on it.
God is doing amazing things through and for His children. Get involved and you will be amazed.
