Cancer, heart attack, detached retina, cystic fibrosis

Here are a few of the more notable healings we have seen in the last few weeks, some of which are still in progress:

• My grandmother was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her lung in August 2007. After thirty radiation treatments and no change in the tumor she went into home hospice care. A few weeks ago she received results from a scan, and she has ZERO cancer in her body now. Her oncologist said the tumor is gone...all that remains is some scar tissue. The doctor also said he thought he saw spots on her liver originally, but he must have been wrong, because they are gone and if she had spots she would be dead by now. Thank you Jesus!
• A lady in our church went into MICU in early March with what appeared to be a heart attack. Two of us were allowed into the room after visiting hours (can you say favor?) to pray for her. She was on a ventilator and being kept unconscious; there were tubes, wires and monitors everywhere...pretty intense. We left the room and sat down in a waiting area outside, and we prayed again. While praying, we both saw an image of Jesus going into her room by Himself and touching her. The next day she woke up normal and the staff said they thought she had a blood clot or a heart attack, but "it must have been a fluke." They said she had kidney failure and other life threatening issues, but as you might guess, that's all good now. She was at church last Sunday when she should still be in the hospital.
• We prayed for Ailene, who had a retina detach following surgery. She could only see a speck of light in that eye and she had stabbing pain. The pain left the first time, but vision was the same. Later that week, she looked up and had vision again for a few minutes, but then went away. Instead of a just a speck she can now see lights as God continues to heal her progressively.
• Prayed for two kids with cystic fibrosis (4 yrs old and 8months old) two weeks ago. The little girl had a scan the following week and the radiologist said her bronchioles look larger and that if another radiologist looked at they wouldn't know she had cystic fibrosis. We are going after both healings and look forward to a clean report for both kids.

This is what happens when normal Christians release the raw power of God and use that authority to command things to be "on earth as it is in heaven."

Signs from God

BOLDNESS

The message for POWER on Feb 27 was "BOLDNESS, One Key To A Miraculous Lifestyle."

• The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth, looking to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him (2 Chron 16:9).
• If you want more demonstration of power in your life, use the boldness you have and watch God move.
• Peter demonstrated this cycle of boldness followed by increased power, followed by more boldness, which was followed by more power...in Acts 2, 3, 4. We see the fruit of his boldness, which included 3,000 saved in one day, 5,000 another day, the lame man healed, and their release from the high priests' imprisonment.
  

God gave Scott a word for Judy during ministry time, and she was subsequently healed of at least two things that had been bothering her. Yeah God.

Raising up Judges and an Unusual Healing

God said He was going to do something unusual last Friday night, and He came through. He gave a word of knowledge about "hips and a cell phone," so we asked if anyone knew someone with hip problems that wasn't at the service. Someone did, they exhibited the boldness to call their friend (not a believer, by the way) and told them that God was going to heal their hips. The young lady on the other end of the phone realized while they were talking that the pain, which had been severe for a few days, was completely gone. Very cool.

The message for POWER that night was that God is raising up members of the body to bring justice, judgment or divine order to restore those who are oppressed. As the body of Christ, it is our job to be the judges or deliverers that bring justice to those that are oppressed.

Judges 2:16 "The Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them."
Isaiah 1:26 "I am going to restore your judges, as at the first..."
John 5:27 says Jesus was given authority to execute judgment (bring justice) because He is the son of man , not because He was the son of God. Interesting...
Obadiah 1:21 says that saviors, deliverers or judges shall come up from mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau.

Jesus gave us the authority (Luke 10:19) and expects us to get to work, delivering His children out of the hand of those that robbed them. We're talking about people who have been robbed by cancer, depression, poverty, diabetes, back pain...anything that Jesus paid for. We are called to execute justice and bring things into order, "on earth as it is in heaven."

With Healing In His Wings

"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty." (Malachi 4:2-3)

This was the word for the first POWER service on January 23, and I believe it is a commission for those willing to accept it. The word "wings" in Hebrew is also translated as "armies." Jesus is the "Sun of righteousness" and we are the healing armies that will trample down the kingdom of darkness while expanding the Kingdom of God. This is what happens every time someone is freed from sickness, depression, disease, or the bondage of sin, which is exactly what we are equipping the body to do.
