Healing On The Street!

*Submitted by Stephanie Ryan

Jada, Katie, Jake and I were on outreach tonight at Fort Hill. On the way there we pulled over to pray for some people on the street. An old lady walked up, she had a wrist brace, and was in pain when walking. She had fallen earlier, and thought she busted a rib, and was in intense pain where she could not bend over with out bracing herself with her hand. We prayed for her, and asked her to test it. She was instantly able to bend over, no pain in her ribs, or back.


Yeah Jesus!

Gallbladder Healed!

*Submitted by Madden Sandlin

A friend on mine is going to worship school in Australia and before going she was having some issues with her gallbladder. She scheduled a surgery, then we declared healing over her. She went to her surgery and before she let them cut into her she wanted another CT. The doctor said no, she left and told him that she was healed because the Lord told her so. He thought she was crazy, so she went to a different doctor! This doctor scanned her, and her gallbladder was healed 100%!!!


SO LEGIT! Go Jesus!

Aneurysm Healed OVER THE PHONE!

*Submitted by Madden Sandlin

Yesterday a friend of mine called me and asked me to be in prayer for her cousin who was, at the time, in the hospital with a brain aneurysm. The doctors didn't know exactly what was going on. I declared healing and restoration over this guy. I prayed for a couple minutes, and only a few hours later I got a call saying he was released from the hospital.


After the brain scan the aneurysm had shrunk to basically nothing and I THINK his headache even went away. They sent him home because he no longer had a reason to be there and the doctors had no explanation as to WHAT had happened! His family was calling me and thanking me for my "anointed prayer." It really ministered to the family, LEGIT!


Go Jesus!

Skeptic Healed!

*This was submitted by a gentleman in our church

While in Denver for training my brother in law invited me to a home group that he hosts. He explained to me that they were going through a DVD series by John Bevere. This weeks topic, faith. As John shared I noticed the body language of a couple of the home group members and realized that what John was preaching was challenging for them to accept. He was preaching that God's word is true no matter what our experience may be.


As we discussed the preaching it became obvious that one woman in particular didn't believe that healing was always God's will. I'd like to say I handled the conversation gracefully but in the end it was obvious to all I was getting a little heated in my responses to her statements. My brother in law intervened with the time tested statement of "let's agree to disagree".


As he asked for prayer requests he asked the woman that I had argued with if her ear was still in pain and itching. She responded "yes". I asked how long her ear had been that way and she replied "for several years". I then asked if it was always in pain to which she replied "yes". I then asked the obvious question "would you mind if I prayed for your ear to be healed"? She said yes, I prayed for a minute or so commanding the pain and itching to go and for her ear to be restored.


I asked her if she noticed a difference in the pain and itching and with a puzzled look on her face she said both were gone!


Miracles In The House!

*Submitted by David Kurkjian

While recently visiting my brother in law in Indiana, he invited me to his weekly home group. The home group includes children in their activity of worship and sharing scripture. As we were getting ready to share, my brother in law introduced me to the group with "this is my brother in law from Atlanta, they're seeing a lot of miracles at his church". No pressure right?


They asked me to share some of the miracles I've seen and while I shared I also explained how we do it by proclaiming "the Kingdom of heaven is at hand". I mentioned that our kids are as active in bringing the Kingdom of heaven to people as the adults. To make my point I asked if there was anyone in our meeting that was in pain or needing healing. One of the mothers raised her hand and said she had chronic pain in her tail bone for about 7 years. I asked if it was in pain now to which she said yes. After giving the kids some basic instruction they laid hands on the mother and commanded the pain to go and healing to come. They then asked if she was still in pain and were surprised when she said no. Needless to say the home group was very encouraged by what they had just witnessed. So much so they're trying to find a way to bring a group of their youth to Atlanta for one of our equipping weekends.


Miracles Over The Phone!

*Submitted by Tamra Erisman:

The Lord told me to call my friend when I did I found that she had been battling pain that went beyond a "10" and was in her car on her way to see a pain specialist. I began to share with her about our ministry teams that go out on Tuesdays and as I shared with her, all of a sudden I began to pray and command the pain to go, healing to take place in her body. The Holy Ghost came on both of us and we both had to pull over (we were both driving). She got to the doctors office and had nothing to tell him but that her body was tingling all over. She went to the grocery store after that and the more she walked, the more the tingling began to settle in her legs, she ran through the store and was so excited she left her groceries...haha!!


Later that day when I called to find out how she was doing, she told me her story and then began to share with me about a four month old baby she was watching whose left arm was paralyzed and her hand was closed since she was born. I began to share with her that we have handkerchiefs I could pray over and give to her for the baby, and as I shared, healing just came out and as I began to pray, (she had me on speaker phone) the baby's eyes were fixed on the phone and her little hand began to open up and she began to move her arm.... My friend started screaming and crying and laughing as her little arm began to function. In fact, the baby grabbed her finger and wouldn't let go.


Awesome!!!!


Miracles In Seattle!

*Submitted by Marc Lawson:

At Revelation Church in Seattle we prayed for and challenged people to step out of their comfort zone and "as they go" preach the Kingdom with healing and miracles. The next night we had 8 folks(&many more who came up later) tell stories of how they prayed for people:


One man was in a Safeway food store and prayed for a man who he saw had a hearing aid, deaf in one ear and the Lord restored his hearing!


As people went up to pray for people, depression was on many of the people and after prayer it lifted in every one.


We prayed for a Vietnam War vet who had been in pain walking for 28 years and needed a cane. After we prayed twice, all the pain left and he was walking without the cane!

Another lady and her 6 year old daughter both had Psoriasis, a skin disease. After we broke the ancestral curse and prayed for her blood to be cleansed,the itching and rash began to disappear in both!

Right Place, Right Time!

One of our church members was at their work cubicle just like any other normal day when they heard a loud noise and lots of clanging right outside the door near their cubicle. After the clanging, they heard someone groaning in pain. They went out to see what happened and a co-worker had gotten her shoe stuck to the door on her way in, tripped and fell on the concrete floor face first with her lunch meal all over the place! She was laying on the ground and said she had terrible pain in her hips and shoulders and was obviously freaked out by what just happened.

The gentleman from our church looked her right in the eyes and said "I'm going to pray for you and you're going to get better, is that alright?" She said "Please, please!" So he laid hands on her and commanded ALL of the pain to leave her body. As he was praying, several of his other co-workers were also praying for her and one of his hindu co-workers witnessed the whole thing!


After he prayed, she said she felt a lot better and didn't feel anymore pain!! The security team said it was their procedure to check her out before she could get up. They ended up taking her to a clinic to examine her and all she had was a slight bruise from the fall but no more pain!


Come on Jesus!

Miracle @ The Gym!

A gentleman in our church in his local gym and after finishing his workout, he noticed a man walking towards the lobby with a walker. He went up to him, introduced himself and asked him why he needed to use the walker. The man said that he just recently had hip replacement surgery and showed him the scar. It was huge!

The gentleman from our church told him that Jesus is King and asked him if he could pray for him if he had any pain. He said he had pain in his hip that was pretty constant, so he prayed for him and commanded all of the pain to leave. After prayer the man said he felt heat on his hip and felt all of the pain leave instantly!


Miracle @ the Gym!

Broken Foot Healed!

One of the gentlemen in our church stopped by my public mailbox at his apartment complex and noticed there was another man also walking up to get the mail with a very large, mechanical cast on his right foot/leg. He approached him and asked why he had the cast and he proceeded to tell that he recently broke his foot in half by falling down his stairs and just recently had a major surgery on his foot.

The man from our church told him that Jesus is King and that they have seen God do many miracles before, healing broken legs and all kinds of different injuries and illnesses. He then asked if he could pray for him. The man said yes, so he got down and laid his hands on his foot, commanding all the pain to leave in Jesus' name and for the fire of God to touch his ankle.
He said he immediately felt a burning sensation in his foot and all of the pain left him!

"As you go" and get the mail!

Impaired Vision Restored!

Out in "the hood", a team decided to go and start knocking on doors at the first building that they saw. The first door that they knocked on they were greeted by an elderly woman who was a Christian. After they told her that Jesus is King, she invited them into her house and told them that she had impaired vision in her right eye and could only see a very dark spot out of that one eye.

The team prayed for her once and she said she felt like she could see a little better but there was still some blurriness. They prayed about three more times and finally she said that she could see out of that eye! One of the guys on the team even pulled up a flier that was laying around her house and asked if she could read it.


She could see the letters and the whole piece of paper fine with that one eye!

10 Year Old Gets Word For Healing!

At our recent Spring UMT, a ten year old boy on the team got a word of knowledge that they would see a man in a blue shirt, and he would have a pain in his right shoulder. The next door that the team knocked on was a lady who got healed of knee pain a week prior and she asked them to pray for her friend who was in bed in horrible pain in his right shoulder.

They went to see him and as it turns out he had a blue shirt on and his shoulder had been pulled out of its socket; totally dislocated. He said the pain was at a 9, they prayed once and the pain went to a 6! They prayed once more and he was completely healed! He was moving it all around! He could hardly move when they got there and when the team left he had total mobility and NO PAIN!


Come on Jesus!


Tumors Disappear & Baby Saved!

Last year, one of our teams encountered a young lady that was nearly full term in her pregnancy. At one of her prenatal visits, the doctors found 13 tumors in her womb that greatly threatened the pregnancy. The team prayed over her and took her a handkerchief that our church had laid hands on (Acts 19:11-12).

After losing contact with her for the last 6 months, the team recently found her again in her neighborhood. She breathlessly reported that after they gave her the handkerchief that she soon after delivered the baby and ALL of the tumors had dissolved! The baby was born perfectly healthy and without complications! The team enjoyed getting to meet her little miracle baby for the first time! A happy, healthy little boy of 5 months.


Come on Jesus!


Blind Eye Opened!

An outreach team from the church encountered a woman in her forties that had received nine operations on her right eye and had almost no vision out of it. Her left eye was covered with a cataract. The team prayed and declared the Kingdom of God over her, actually praying 5 times before the healing manifested.

Her right eye was totally healed! She also was able to go out into the sunlight, and not have the light bother her! The team was ecstatic! It was so wonderful to see this precious woman receive her sight!!!


Jesus is King over blindness!

Ovarian Cyst Healed!

* This is a testimony sent in by one of the ladies that attends our church.

A lady at work has had me pray w/her in the past. A long time ago, she had skin cancer & I prayed w/her & it disappeared! No surgery or chemo.


I felt led to ask what would she like to pray about. She said it was interesting that I asked, but that she had a cyst her & her Dr. were concerned about, had fear it was cancer & she was going for tests in a few days. So we prayed for healing. I told her to say, "No more! This is not mine!" She did. I got a call from her today. She went for her tests, & the cyst was GONE! They had been watching it w/check ups. They told her there was no trace of any cyst whatsoever, & went looking through past screenings in an attempt to find it.


They found past records of it, but now its gone!

30 Years of Multiple Sclerosis Destroyed!

One our our equipping teams was recently ministering at a church in Indiana. The year before, a team had gone to an unsaved friend of the church secretary's house, which was literally haunted. After the team prayed over the home, she noticed a dramatic difference in the atmosphere in her home. So much so that she came back to the church the following year when the team returned, gave her life to Jesus and had a powerful encounter with the Lord.

The team found out that she had been suffering for 30 years with Multiple Sclerosis, with hospital stays, inability to walk, etc. and told her of God's will to heal her. She struggled initially, but eventually came to believe that the Lord would heal her and set her free.


This is the testimony we recently received by email from her friend:


******************************************


She is the same lady that we had "The Ghost Busting" session with when you guys were here last summer!! So when I got her to come to the Saturday night service when you were here, your team prayed for her, you ministered to her and prayed for her. And that is when she began to actually BELIEVE that God wanted to heal her and could heal her! So on Sunday you prayed for her again and by that time she was ALL in for healing! Well she had her doctor appointment last week and they did another MRI and all of the shadows that had appeared over the last 2 yrs. (that represents the sclerosis) were gone, or had moved and were no longer a threat!!


Her doctor was AMAZED!! He said that in all of his years of practice he had only seen that happen maybe twice!! The doctor also told her that she wasn't the same person that he saw from the first time she came in!! Now she is on FIRE for Jesus and can not get enough!!


Thank you Jesus!!! And thank you NorthGate Team!!!


Mouth Miracle Leads to Salvation!

One of our outreach teams was sharing with a new believer in her home when a young man came into the house. He had been suffering for three years with severe mouth pain that kept him awake at night, unable to sleep. He showed the team his three rotted teeth that seriously needed root canals and rated the pain at a 10 on a 10 pain scale. At that moment, his mouth was throbbing.

The team prayed a simple prayer, commanding pain and infection to leave and releasing the power of the Gospel on his mouth. They told him "Check the pain". He did and rated it as a 6. The pain had gone down considerably. "Well, if God can take it down 40% in 10 seconds, what could He do if we prayed again?" The team prayed again, commanding new roots and new enamel into his mouth. "Where's the pain?" they asked him. He probed, prodded and pressed on the hurting teeth with his tongue and fingers and his eyes got real big. "It's gone!"


3 years of pain was decimated in a few moments. The young man reeled in amazement, sat down on the couch and began to tell us about this being Deja-Vu. 4 days earlier he had a dream and saw the entire scene that had just transpired! The end of the dream found him in a gun fight at a friends house. Seizing the moment and capitalizing on the fear of God that was right there, the team led him to Jesus after questioning him on his eternal destiny. He glady and fearfully repented of his sins and gave his life to Jesus right then and there.


Come on Jesus!


Miracles at Wal-Mart!

*This is from a gentleman from our church that decided to take the Kingdom with him "as he went"... shopping!

I hadn't seen too many miracles recently but then again the cold introvertedness was starting to come to an end in March. It was 3/30/2010 and Micah Usry was the guest speaker. He was a needed 'shot-in-the-arm' to make me want to go out again, leave my dormancy behind, and do what we were called to do. So afterward I go to Walmart (which seems to be place where Jesus favors and favors due to the many miracles that happen there). I don't see much of anything until my way out where I see a lady in a motorized buggy along with some guy. I strike up a conversation with them and she tells me she doesn't walk well due to the arthritis in her knee which she has had for around 7 years. I tell her of the goodness of Our Lord and she allows me to pray for her. She said she felt a little something inside of her so I asked her if she wanted to 'step out' and walk with me in the parking lot. (After all it is called the 'working of miracles'). She starts walking and after around 8 - 10 steps she tells me all of her pain & stiffness is gone. Praise God!!!

I'd also like to say I got my first cane this past Easter as well. I was fired up after another Northgate service and was going to a friends house for festivities. But I had to stop to go shopping (yes at Walmart but you knew that). So as I'm trained to do now (I'm half-joking, lol), I find some people with physical ailments and tell them I believe the Lord Jesus can heal them (I witness to healthy people as well in case anybody is asking themselves that btw). So I start praying over this elderly gentleman that had knee surgery. He feels a little better and again I start walking with him praying for him. As he is walking he is getting better - good enough to give me his cane as a testimony of his faith that he is healed. Go God!!!

His wife, I assume, then asks me to pray for the arthritis in her hand. She tries to make a closed fist to show me how bad she is but her fingers don't really move that much. So we pray, believing in the power of Jesus, and after a few minutes she can easily move each of her fingers much more than she could a few moments earlier as her stiffness was greatly reduced.

It was odd because their daughter never blinked an eye as she just kept shopping during the whole experience and other people were listening (as I don't try to get loud on purpose to draw attention but I do get excited so I do get loud at times) but never stopped to consider what was going on. Sometimes that is more amazing to me that at times when God moves nobody is paying attention - kinda sad.

Miracles at Wal-Mart! Come on Jesus!

Pure Freedom

* This is a testimony received from one of the young ladies on our outreach team.

Tonight we went to one of our usual neighborhoods to visit some folks. One of our ladies has been wanting us to go see her daughter, because her daughter has really been wanting to speak with us. She apparently was in need of the Holy Ghost, too. So, we all went over there tonight to see her and talk with her. She tells us, "My Mom said you guys knew stuff about my kids that no one told you or anything, but you still know", or something to that effect... she proceeded to tell us that she was curious if we might know things about her too. :)


We explained prophetic ministry a little, and the Lord quickly spoke to each one of us about her life. Everything was on point and she was quite impressed at how real this was! This lady has been addicted to narcotics for some time now, and has been desperately trying to get free. Well, tonight, we came to her with the answer Himself... Jesus! Guys, we gave her the most SIMPLE message of the gospel. The BASICS to us, but this stuff is HUGE to someone who has never heard it this way! Things like the Kingdom of Heaven and righteousness, peace and joy. Things like God's real presence and his LOVE and goodness. Things like FREEDOM. A life in God where He wants to BLESS His kids and not condemn and judge them. A life where you need CHILDLIKE faith, because it's that simple.


We prayed for her, got her delivered of a bunch of junk, and got her full of the Holy Ghost. All she could repeat over and over, with tears falling down her cheeks as we prayed was, "Jesus, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You. Jesus... Jesus" How awesome is that?!


She was FREE. She was soooo excited and kept telling us how glad she was that we came over and how she wasn't expecting this. I told her she needed to get baptized and she was immediately fired up to do it. I told her we could do it next week in her tub or something if she wanted. Then I realized... Why wait?! So I asked her if she wanted to just go ahead and do it tonight since she was already on a roll and she was all for it! She filled up the tub, put on some clothes she could get wet in, and she got dunked right there in her tub! You could see her countenance was completely changed by the end of the night.


Freedom is the best feeling. To give it, AND to receive it! Thank You, Jesus for allowing us to be FREE and FREE indeed!! :D


Mouth Pain Healed!

While at a food court at a local mall, a young man from our church was approached by a lady asking for money. The lady had a hospital bracelet on her wrist and he asked her what it was for. She had spent the previous night in the hospital with severe mouth pain, her teeth were rotten and she was in terrible pain. The doctors gave her some pain meds, kept her there overnight and released her the next day. When asked where the pain was at on a scale from 1-10, she quickly replied "8 1/2" saying that her mouth was throbbing at that moment.

Asking if he could pray for her, she agreed. As he touched her, power flowed out of his arm and into her mouth. In about 10 seconds of commanding pain to go he asked her, "Where's the pain?". She said it was a 4. They prayed again, virtue again flowed out and he asked her again, "Where's the pain?" Her eyes got real big and she replied, "It's gone!" She started looking under his sleeves saying, "you must have something under your sleeves... how did you do that?!"

No camera tricks, no mirrors, just Jesus!
