In Jesus - 09-26-2012

Early this morning I got to pray for a man in a wheelchair who had been paralyzed in his left arm by a botched brain surgery. He said he could walk but it was difficult at times. He prayed with me as I commanded restoration to the brain and nerves and life to his arm and body. He did experience some warmth in his arm but still could not move it freely at that time. I encouraged Him that Jesus was our healer as well as our savior from sin, that 2000 years ago our healing was paid for, just as the payment for our sins was met in Jesus Christ, but we receive it now by faith and that I was going to stand on that fact for his healing. He was very blessed and thankful toward me for stopping to pray with him.

Later in the morning I got to meet and pray for an older gentleman named Oral who was sitting with his wife by the river. I noticed Oral as he had a cane, so I approached them. After briefly saying hi and asking them how they were doing, I explained that the reason I stopped is because I pray for people and God heals them, that I noticed the cane and wanted to ask if I could do that for him. He seemed leery at first but his wife was interested and said "Well, it couldn't hurt." He had some heart problems with a pacemaker and weakness in his body as a result, as well as pain in his shoulders from time to time, and also some problems with his legs. After commanding healing into his body in Jesus' name with my hand on his shoulder, he did not notice any difference. I had the thought that he would have a shorter leg, so I asked him about it and his wife confirmed that he did. He also mentioned he sometimes drags the left foot. He let me check and sure enough the right leg was short by 1/2 an inch or so. It took at least 5 minutes of commanding in Jesus' name for the right leg to grow out the same length as the left. I had him get up and see if he could feel the difference. He said he just feels weak. I prayed for his heart to receive the healing Jesus Christ already paid for 2000 years ago and for him to receive the life of God in all his body once again. He seemed very blessed and was very thankful afterwards. I asked them if they knew Jesus as Lord and his wife said "yes, we both do, as we were brought up in all of that.", and "We are catholic." Oral nodded his head 'no' though when I asked, in spite of what his wife had said. I explained to him what he would do to receive Jesus as Lord and how he could receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He listened intently. His wife seemed to be trying get them out of there though, so I said my good-byes. He heard the truth and I trust he will place his faith in the Lord Jesus and walk with him. I just wish I could have had more time to talk with him. Thinking about it now, I am not sure, but I think maybe his wife got a little freaked out after his leg grew out, why she wanted out of there all of the sudden. Or maybe it was just that it took a while. However, they were just sitting there leisurely when I approached, so I don't know.

I then met a man who recently had surgery on his torn ACL. He had two crutches with him, which is what attracted me to him initially. He let me pray but didn't report feeling any change and did not seem to want to try and test it out. Initially I shared a bit about why I do what I do and he seemed to know a bit of the word, but after prayer and asking him if he knew if he was born again, as I was going to encourage him that he could do the same, he said he is a follower of Jesus but believes a little differently than me. That he would be considered on the outer edges of Christianity and said he didn't want to argue with me so he didn't want to discuss it. I explained I didn't want to argue with him either. I declared that I believe he will noticed that the ligament is better and said good bye, wishing him a wonderful day.

Thank you Lord Jesus! Be glorified more and more, to, in and through me!

Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 
Psalm 103:1-5

He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains -- he hath carried them, And we -- we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.
All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all. 
Isaiah 53:3-6 (YLT)

When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.” 
Matt. 8:16-17

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
“Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer[i] of your souls. 
1 Peter 2:21-25

In Jesus - 09-22-2012

A late, and longer entry. Sorry. I wasn't going to share this initially, but on later thought, felt that it may encourage someone, myself included :)

On Saturday, my brother in Christ, Trevor, and myself got to go hand out some free sandwiches, pizza, brownies, hot chocolate and some Holy Bibles to the poor people around the downtown Salvation Army. We also got to pray for a few people for healing. One woman with back problems I believe and one man with many different problems including ensuing blindness (I believe from substance abuse). There was no reported changes in their bodies at that time but we believe Mark 16:18 ..they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover -- either now or later!

Just when we were about to be packing up to leave a man named Michael approached us and asked if we could give him a ride to the Hospital. He had a bag over his hand with blood dripping from it. He had broken something glass and sliced his finger or hand open while working with a candle somehow. He had done it a few hours earlier but couldn't afford or find a ride to the Hospital until that point. He said he had thought the Police would have at least help him, but said they did not. We took him to the Health Sciences Center and then prayed for him to be healed of the injury as well as for many pains in his body from previous accidents. He didn't report any noticeable changes at that time. He seemed very thankful and blessed for the help. He knew the Lord and said he would add us to his regular prayers.

As we left Michael in emergency and continued to walk around the outside of the Hospital, simultaneously, Trevor and myself felt a manifestation of the presence of God in tingling on our lower backs and legs. It was quite interesting and pleasurable to be honest. I thought that maybe it was a word of knowledge for healing for someone in a wheelchair and started to looked for some right away.

First we met a group of three adults and one small child. The child was also named Michael and he had some pains in his bandaged injured index fingers on both hands. His parents and possibly his grandmother let us pray. Who I suspected was his grandmother assured us that he would pray too as he prays every night. After a quick prayer of commanding the pain to leave and his fingers to be healed in Jesus' name, he said the pain was all gone. He was so joyful after that and made some playful gestures toward us with both hands.

We also go to pray for his mother for a queasy feeling in her stomach. She started to cry and cover her face as we prayed. She got up right away and left as their ride was there and the rest of her family had already jumped up to head into the cab while we were praying for her. We thought she was being touched by the Lord in a powerful way, but did not have the time to confirm.

We rounded the corner and then prayed for girl who had fractured her heal bone. She didn't report any change at that time. She knew about the Lord from childhood but was not walking with Him. We got to encourage her in His goodness and His desire to love her and walk with her as she would walked with Him.

We then got to where all the people in wheelchairs were! Not that we knew this was the area for them, but we saw 4 different people in wheelchairs coming out of one set of doors in a very short span of time. 2 of the people let us minister to them and 2 didn't seem interested at all.

First we got to pray for a man who had a cyst in his spine and it caused damage to the spinal cord. He reported feeling a bit better in his legs and thought he could move them more, but didn't want to try getting up to test them out.

We also got to pray for young man who was in an accident which causing him to be paralyzed in his legs. He also had a dislocated shoulder from falling during physiotherapy. He did not report any changes in his body at that time. We got to encourage him in the Lord. He had asked Jesus to be his Lord as a young boy but I got the impression that he had not been walking to closely with Him at this time. He seemed very joyful and blessed when we left him.

We were now in the Hospital as we had to use the washroom. While Trevor was still in the washroom I took advantage of the access in the hallways and got to pray for a young girl of about 5 or 6 maybe. She had been born prematurely and had some developmental disabilities. She was in a wheelchair. Her mother let me pray but after I asked the young girl myself and I went to put my hand on her to pray she pushed it away. So I prayed just by stretching out my hand toward her. Her countenance changed a bit and she seemed to accept me more after the prayer. I got to encourage her and her little sister who believed in Jesus and angels. I encouraged them in the gospel in as simple a way as I knew how and they seemed very happy to hear the good news.

I also go to pray for their grandmother who had some health problems but she didn't feel comfortable sharing them with me. I just commanded complete healing and restoration over her body and life in Jesus' name. She also seemed very blessed and thankful afterward. I did not ask if there was any difference after prayer. To be honest, I forgot to. haha.

I then got to pray for another teen girl who had been in the Hospital with seizures. She did not have any way to judge any improvements as she was not experiencing them at that time. I believe she will not have anymore and encouraged her in the same!

We left outside of the Hospital again and met a woman who had been there for tests on a growth in her womb. We declared healing and life and a good report, that the doctors will have no explanation as to what happened. She did not feel any manifestation at that time and did not have any pain before hand to gauge a difference. I assured her there would be a good report as we left them.

It was a really good night. It is so encouraging and fulfilling to be used by the Lord in ministering to others. He can and will use you too. Just trust Him, and step out and love on people, commanding their bodies to be well in His name, and any spirit's to leave them. They must obey. 

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matt. 5:16

And it shall come to pass in the last days...

Today I met Melanie who had pain in her left hip. She said it was injured permanently but she had pain today as she worked out too much. I said a short prayer with my finger on her right shoulder commanding the pain to leave and the hip to be completely healed and restored. After that, she said it was feeling really good. She knew the gospel but when asked if she was born again she didn't know what that meant. I got to share with her the importance of being born again by the Spirit of God and how that was truly being restored to God. I also got to share the importance of baptism. She was very blessed and so was I. It is so wonderful being used by Jesus to show people some of the benefits of being in His kingdom.

Luke 22:29
And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me

Today I met a man named Sam and his friend Jimmy. Sam had a neck brace and a cane. He said he was hit by a car. It was a hit and run. He also reported pain from arthritis in his joints, especially now that it is cooler out. He let me pray for him. I took his hand and with my voice, took authority over the pain and any spirits of infirmity or pain and commanded them to leave his body in Jesus' name. It was a quick prayer of about 10 seconds. He was able to freely move his neck and said all the pain in his body was gone. I got to share the gospel with him but it appeared to me that he wasn't ready to give up his drinking.

I could tell Jimmy was a bit surprised to see what happened to his friend and asked "He's real isn't He?" referring to Jesus. I assured him that He was. He asked me to pray for him to set him free from an addiction to alcohol. I took his hand and commanded the spirit of addiction to leave him in Jesus' name and told him that he now had a choice to walk in the ways of the Lord. I encouraged the both of them to get Bibles and read them to know how to walk as God wanted them to walk, free and clean.

I met Eric who had a tensor bandage on his right wrist. He said his wrist got crushed by a forklift. There was a miscommunication at work and his workmate thought he told him to go but meant the opposite. He said the pain was at a 6/10 and after I put my hand on his wrist and commanded it to be healed and all pain to leave, it went to a 5/10. He let me pray again and after the second time, all the pain was now gone. He was a Christian too. I got to encourage him that he could do the same thing. He was actually on his way to see his Mom in another province as she just had a surgery and he was going to look after her. He said he would pray in the same way for her.

...He had rays flashing from His hand, And there His power was hidden. Habakkuk 3:4

...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Mark 16:18

In Jesus - 09-05-2012

At work today a girl that was sitting next to me was complaining about the pain she was experiencing in her back from her weekend of riding Seadoos and tubing. I asked her if she could estimate what the pain would be on a scale of 10 with 0 being nothing and 10 being the worst. She said it was about a 6 off and on. I asked her if I could show her something and she replied a little leerily, saying "I don't want to be worse." She was thinking I was going to do some sort of Chiropractic thing. hehe. I said, "No, no, nothing like that." I placed my right pointer finger on the side of her left shoulder and commanded the pain to leave her back and her muscles to be loosed and relaxed in Jesus' name. She thought it was interesting as I don't think anyone had ever done anything like that to her before. I explained that I pray for people all the time and they get healed. I shared with her the testimony of the partially deaf woman who was healed back on July 23rd, 2012. She thought that was totally cool. She joked and asked if I could pray and get her help with doing her job better. She thanked me and said she would let me know if there was a change.

As I went for a walk at lunch and was thinking about the situation, I felt like the Lord was saying that this event would be instrumental in her eventually coming faith in Him. After returning from lunch, I asked her how her back was doing. She said, in a surprised tone, "It is actually doing better!" I assured her that He (Jesus) was real and she agreed and indicated that she thought everything happened for a reason. I felt to leave it at that.

It is really so simple to be used by Him. Just make yourself available, believe and step out. It's so worth it. Ask Him to use you and He will.

A few weeks or so ago I got to speak to and pray for a dear man in his 90's. I was on my lunch break out walking when I met him. At the time when I asked him, he mentioned that he was not ready to meet his maker should he perish that day. He knew he was not right with God. He mentioned having some problems in his body and that the doctors didn't know how long he would live. I encouraged him to repent and make himself right with God. I encouraged him that God wanted to walk with him and love him. I got to pray for healing in his body.

Yesterday I was having such a hard day at work and went for a walk at my lunch time, the Lord set me up for some great encouragement. I ran into this dear man again and he mentioned he was now attending church and was feeling much better inside his body. I could see love in him. He shook my hand a couple times with such love. Brought tears to my eyes just typing about it.

Thank you Lord!!
