Leukemia Healed!

On outreach one night, we were informed of the condition of a young man. He was 17 years old, a star basketball player for a high school and was in the hospital, dying of leukemia. The school had raised over $160,000 to help his family pay off their medical bills. Everyone in the school knew about him and his condition. Over a period of about 5-6 weeks, several teams of people from the church went and prayed healing for him in his ICU room at the hospital. On the first meeting, one of the nurses told our group, "If God doesn't do a miracle, he won't make it".

Fast forward several weeks later. We are back in the parking lot on outreach when we see the guy who told us about the young man dying in the hospital. A huge smile crept across his face, “Remember that boy you went to pray for at the hospital? He is completely cancer free! They announced it over the school PA system, they told everyone! We told a bunch of people about you guys going down there to pray for him, but they didn’t believe anything would happen. One girl told us, I’ll believe it when I see it. She and I were in the same room when the announcement came over the PA. She looked right at me and her mouth fell open!"

As a result of this miracle, a whole group of young men and women (20-30) rededicated their lives to the Lord and started attending their local churches once again.

Heart Condition Healed!

A 19 year old young man was approached during one of our outreaches. He had severe heart disease that had clogged one of his main arteries and he also had dangerously high cholesterol. He was going in for tests in a couple weeks to decide on treatment for his condition. We asked him if we could pray for him and he agreed. We simply laid hands on him and said, “In Jesus’ name, be healed”. We them told him that when the doctors check it, they would find nothing wrong with him.

Several weeks later, on another outreach, we saw this young man. We walked right up to him and a group of guys he was with. He had a big smile across his face. "I went to the doctor, they did my blood work and checked my heart. There is no blockage in my arteries and my blood work is perfectly normal! There is nothing wrong with my heart!” We jumped, we screamed and we shouted! Thank you Jesus for showing yourself to these guys!

Ankle Instantly Healed!

A team from the church went out to a local hospital to pray for the sick and minister to the needy. A young man walked by the group with a noticeable limp. They went up to him and asked him what was wrong. It was a sprained ankle, swollen, with a good deal of pain. They asked him which ankle was hurt. It was his left ankle. They prayed a simple prayer, commanding all pain and inflammation to leave and commanding the fire and anointing of God to come into His foot. After a minute, they told him to check it. He started to walk… without any limp at all! He took a few steps, pain free. He turned around, looked at the group with the most surprised look you can imagine, eyes as big as baseballs, mouth held wide open while he repeated over and over, “What the !@#$? did you do to my foot?” “Nothing, Jesus did it!" they assured him. But he would not be consoled. He was absolutely flabbergasted that his ankle was healed.

A couple guys in the group walked over to him and talked with him, preaching the gospel and telling him that Jesus is King. He was convinced; the power of God did its job. In just a couple minutes of talking, he gave his life to Jesus and got powerfully touched by the Holy Ghost.
