I’ll Take That!

An outreach team was in a local area preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and was called to from across the street by a group of ladies sitting on their front porch. The team responded as the ladies were asking, “Who are you?” The team replied, “We’re nobodies preaching somebody… Jesus!” The ladies responded that they were believers and when interviewed, the team found out that one of the ladies was suffering from arthritis, as well as the lingering effects of a knee injury. As they prayed for her knees, the pain went from a 7 to 0! She started walking with no arthritis! There was a small amount of pain from the knee injuries left and they continued praying.

The team asked her friend if she would like prayer and she said that she had arthritis in her knees, hands and especially bad in her lower back. As the team prayed for her friend though, she thought to herself, “If the Lord can heal her, He can heal me!” She was instantly healed!


Effects of Stroke Vanish!

A gentleman in our church received notification that the employee of a business contact was being rushed to the hospital after an apparent stroke, delaying their business meeting. In faith, he declared that there would be no effects from the stroke and that in fact, the man would be released from the hospital the same hour that he arrived! (a real miracle to get in and out of a hospital in an hour, mind you) Sure enough, upon admittance, they checked out his vitals and ran some tests only to discover that there were absolutely NO effects from the stroke!


Wholesale Healing & Creative Miracle!

An outreach team ran across an elderly fellow cruising across a neighborhood in a motorized wheelchair. They told him of the Kingdom of God and asked him why he was in the wheelchair. The man went in to a detailed description of his ailments. First, he hadn’t slept more than 1-2 hours a night for 16 years. Secondly, he had not been able to walk more than a few steps without intense pain, then numbness in his legs due to 5 heart bypass operations where they removed veins from his legs in each operation. Sine the operations, the circulation in his legs got progressively worse. He had also had multiple strokes, which left his body very weak, making it extremely difficult to move around due to lack of energy/strength.

The team prayed for him and then saw him again two weeks later. The report was amazing! Since they had prayed for him he had slept 6-8 hours a night, for two weeks! The insomnia was broken! He had also had significantly more strength in his legs. But the best part that he hadn’t had ANY pain or numbness in his legs for over two weeks and has been walking EVERY DAY to a local convenience store, without the need for his wheelchair! The Lord had given him NEW VEINS in his legs!

Come on Jesus!
