Severe Pain Obliterated!

An elderly woman in one of the neighborhoods that our Harvest Teams are in reported having chronic, severe pain from sciatica for over a month. The pain was so intense and the drugs she was taking didn’t even take the edge off. This left her literally despairing of life.

The teams had already prayed for her twice, without any change in her condition whatsoever. On the third time however, everything changed. After praying for her for the third time she reported that the night after receiving prayer, she slept through the night for the first time in a month and woke up pain free! Still, after ten days, she has not had one sensation of pain in her lower back and her outlook has completely changed!

Asthma Healed!

One of our Harvest teams invaded a local neighborhood and had the opportunity to pray for an entire family of unbelievers. One of the young ladies in the family had a severe problem with asthma. She was on daily medication, in addition to an inhaler for asthma attacks. She told the team that she even had difficulty walking up the 5 stairs on their front porch and would have to use an inhaler if she took the stairs.

Two weeks later, the team returned and got a fantastic report. She walked up to one of the team members and said, "Remember when you prayed for my asthma? Well, it worked!" "What do you mean?" the team replied. "Last week in PE, I was able to run two miles without needing even one puff on my inhaler!"

Praise God!

Broken Foot Healed!

An outreach team from our church recently attended a local high school football game, looking for opportunities to see the Kingdom of God come with power. They were not disappointed!

A young man went hobbling by with a cast on his foot and a couple of the team members approached him and asked if they could pray for his foot. He agreed, but was quite skeptical. He had pain in his foot and had very little mobility in the foot and ankle as a result of the injury. The team prayed simply that the Kingdom of God would come into his foot and all pain left his foot immediately. They asked him to try it out and he stamped his foot on the ground with no pain whatsoever! He also tried the mobility which was perfect!

A small crowd of 20-30 people gathered while the team preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, not only in word, but in demonstration.

Answered Prayer Leads to Salvation!

Recently, one of our outreach teams was in a local neighborhood and got the opportunity to pray for several people. When they first arrived, one of the team members received a word of knowledge about a shoulder problem. One of the men there had the shoulder problem that was described and received an instant miracle as God healed his shoulder.

Surprised that God answered prayer, he then asked the team to please pray for a friend of his who had been missing for several weeks. This lady's car was wrecked on the side of the road in the North Georgia Mountains, but she was nowhere to be found. The team prayed for the girl and a person in the group prophesied that she would be back by that time the next day.

Several weeks later, we returned to the nighborhood and heard the follow up story. The following day, the missing lady had suddenly turned up unharmed. This answered prayer, coupled with the healing in the gentleman's shoulder caused him to believe in the Gospel and give his life to Jesus!

The Crippled Walk!

Last week, an outreach team fromt he church went to a little public park in Atlanta that the locals call “Big Head” park. It’s a place where lots of homeless, prostitutes and drug addicts gather. Two weeks beforethey had been there and a couple guys from the group had prayed for a guy in a wheelchair. He had severe scoliosis and some other problems that had left him without the ability to walk. While praying for him, our guys tried several times to pull him out of his wheelchair and get him to stand, which he could not do. This week, one of the first things our team sees is the guy in the wheelchair as he goes rolling past us. He rolls out to the center of the park and we see him stand up out of his wheelchair and start to walk!

The next day after the team prayed, he had strength and was able to walk and has been walking perfectly fine ever since! The team asked him for his wheelchair since he doesn’t need it anymore, but he wouldn’t part with it, saying that it’s much easier to get around on wheels!

Miracles In Kentucky!

Pastor Marc was invited to be on the ministry team with Ray Hughes and the Selah Band at a healing meeting in Somerset Kentucky on July 8th. The following two significant healings occurred after prayer:

- A 4 year old girl who had never spoken received prayer and 48 hours later she started speaking for the first time in her life!

- As the ministry team was walking out the door, we prayed for an older lady brought by her daughter for prayer to be healed of cancer. She went to the doctor within a few weeks after tests and they could find nothing!

Praise God.
