Guillain-Barré syndrome

I went and prayed with a family with a 4 year old girl who was recently diagnosed with an unusual neurological disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome. She had loss of muscle use, some seizure like episodes, was in the hospital for several days, and had been in bed for the past six days. She couldn't walk much, and her mom had to pick her up out of bed and carry her around. Doctors weren't sure what was going on but told mom to expect to deal with the symptoms for six months to three years.

I felt like I needed to pray for mom first, who told me her husband was having trouble with some old habits and had not been home for several days, leaving her alone with the four kids. After that I turned to the little girl, whose body jolted when I was praying over her.

I prayed with them on Wednesday night and on Friday Mom called and told me that her daughter had been "bouncing off the walls," running around, and back to normal, showing no symptoms. She also shared that her husband came home Thursday night and had been praying... that "something was definitely moving."

Healing service

I had the opportunity to speak at a local church on Sunday, and shared with them that "God is good and He is powerful." Then we began to demonstrate that fact, because I believe that preaching should not just be with the enticing words of man's wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power. (1 Corinthians 2:4) Here is what happened:

-Started off with calling out a word of knowledge about a hip, to which a lady responded. Michelle from our team laid hands on her and all the pain was gone.
-A lady who had fallen recently and hurt her back had almost all the pain go away.
-Young mother had back pain go from a 10 to zero.
-Older gentleman indicated he had occasional pain in his heel and neck began to weep as God's power touched him.
-Two young boys said they had high blood pressure, one of which had a constant headache. His headache went away completely in a moment. Joe from our team later ministered deliverance to them after they shared some crazy demonic experiences they've had and they felt a release as that thing was broken off.
-The mother of the two young boys wept openly as God's power touched her while I prayed and prophesied over her.
-A lady had chest pain go from a 2 to a zero.
-A young girl around six years old was having severe pain in her ears. All the pain went away in a few moments and she was able to sit up. When I came back later that night, I learned that fluid had been draining out of her ears all afternoon following the prayer that morning.
-A lady was highlighted to me so I asked her if she needed prayer for anything. She said "No, I'm doing fine. I just have this diabetes." I asked if there was any diabetes in heaven and prayed over her. She felt warmth as the spirit of God worked her over on the inside.

All normal manifestations of the kingdom of heaven showing up.
