"As you go! Even at massage school"

One of the members of our church was recently at massage school, in training to be a licensed massage therapist. She noticed that one of her classmates had injured her Achilles tendon and had it all bandaged up. Missing the first opportunity, but seizing the second one, she asked the lady in her class if she could please pray for her as she was in obvious discomfort and was limping around all night.

So as they were coming out of class she went up to her in the parking lot and asked her if she could pray for her leg. Her classmate was genuinely touched and thankful and even began to shed tears. She spoke to her a little about the promises of the Kingdom and she let her lay hands on her leg. As she began to pray the lady began to weep. So she asked her to test it out, and she got out the car. She came back and was delighted that the pain had mostly gone. She was surprised and was laughing and crying. She asked if she could pray again until all the pain left and they did. She tested it out and this time she was walking around much more freely. She came back with tears in her eyes and said "GOD IS GOOD, GOD IS GOOD" and said the pain had gone.

"As you go! Even at massage school"


"Haven't You Heard?!"

Several months ago, one of the members of our church heard from her sister that she had been diagnosed with multiple forms of cancer in her body and the prognosis was not good. Employing others from the church, they went, prayed and decreed the Lord's Prayer, that the Kingdom and Will of God would be done in her body, here on earth, as it is in Heaven.

More than three months later and we had still not heard the report when Pastor Marc ran into the woman at a local store. She started the conversation with, "Haven't you heard?" "The Lord healed me, I have NO Cancer in my body!" After receiving her clean bill of health they did a $9,000 test to confirm the results and they came back perfectly CANCER FREE!

Thank You Jesus!

Healing Explosion at Local High School!

During football season we regularly take teams to local football games to look for opportunities to demonstrate the Kingdom of God through signs, wonders, healings and the prophetic. Recently at one of the games that are team was at they had a healing explosion!

It started when one of the injured football players from the home team was brought before our team when students heard that the Kingdom of God is at hand and that Jesus still heals. This young man had a destroyed ankle and the injury was only a few days old. He was brought to the team in his wheelchair, unable to walk and to put pressure on his foot and in great pain. Before a growing group of young people the team boldly declared that Jesus would heal this young man as a witness to them that the Kingdom of God is on the earth! (Matthew 10:7,8)


To everyone's astonishment and after only a couple minutes of prayer, when commanded to get out of his chair and walk, the injured young man did! The entire group gathered to see a demonstration of God's power erupted in applause and instantly began clamoring for healing. More than two hours later, the team was asked to leave by the school principal and local police. Why? Because more than 25 kids had given their lives to the Lord on their knees and over 40 instant miracles took place including the healing of broken bones, torn ligaments, tendinitis, carpal tunnel, injured backs, necks which gathered a large crowd away from the game.


Come on Jesus!


AIDS Healed!

An outreach team was conducting a house church meeting with a group of new believers in one of the local neighborhoods that we work in when a relative of the person hosting meeting came into the meeting. It was discreetly told to the team that this gentleman had turned away from God, become a homosexual and contracted AIDS in his lifestyle of sin. After receiving personal prophetic ministry the man was touched, but unwilling to give his life to Jesus. The team asked him privately if he would commit his life to the Lord if Jesus healed him of AIDS. He said, "of course!" The team took this as a challenge and prayed for the man's healing.

The man went only a couple of days later to his regularly scheduled 3 month appointment to have his blood tested and drugs administered to him. Upon receiving the reports the doctors told him that he had no trace of AIDS in his system whatsoever! He shared the testimony the next house church meeting and has committed his life to serving Jesus!


What is impossible with man is possible with God!

Healing Leads to Healing!

An outreach team was in a local park as part of an outreach event. They were looking for opportunities to demonstrate the Kingdom of God through signs and wonders. One of the team members encountered a gentleman who had recently been bitten by a brown recluse spider. The venom had devastated his leg and he was in intense pain and the wounds were itching terribly. The young lady from the team asked if she could pray for him telling him that there are no spider bites and intense pain in Heaven. As she prayed, the pain and itching left the wounds immediately! The man was excited and the team continued to minister to him.

Meanwhile a couple was in the park watching this exchange from a distance. The young lady in the couple walked up to the team doing the praying and asked for prayer. Come to find out the young lady had just been released om the hospital after being diagnosed with cancer in her abdomen. There were two visible tumors at the top of her hip, both about the size of golf balls. She had gone to the doctor because she could feel the masses as she walked and they caused her discomfort. The team, freshly instructed on bringing the Kingdom of God told them woman that there is no cancer and no tumors in Heaven. if Heaven came to her body, she would be healed!


They prayed and within a few seconds, one of the tumors completely disappeared! Everyone was excited and the lady began weeping and rejoicing. They didn't stop, but continued to pray for the other tumor to be destroyed. Within a minute it had shrunk to the size of a pea and just a couple of minutes later, had completely dissolved! Everyone was rejoicing and praising God right there in the park as the presence of God overshadowed the whole group!


Awesome God!


Blind Eye Opened!

An outreach team was at a local hospital as part of an equipping event at the church and was looking for opportunities to advance the Kingdom through the power of God. While there they encountered a woman who recently has a stroke and lost use of her entire right side. She was getting some of the use of her limbs back, but since the stroke her right eye had been blinded. All that she could see was colors, she could make no distinction of shapes, etc. The team told her that there are no blind eyes in Heaven and that if Heaven came to her body, she would be healed!

As they prayed they asked her what was happening. She responded that something was in fact going on and that she could start to see shapes. Like Jesus in the Bible they prayed for her sight again. This time she started to get excited! The first words out of her mouth were, "They are going to think I was lying to them in the hospital now!" The team had her cover her good eye and started checking the bad eye, holding up fingers in front of her. She quickly called them out without any problem. They backed up and got about 12 feet from her and she continued to make the distinction of shapes as her vision was restored!


Nothing is impossible with God!


Migraine Destroyed!

One of the ladies in our local church had just asked her husband to go pick up some Excedrin from the drugstore as she was having a severe migraine headache and needed relief right away. Just a minute after that, one of our outreach teams called and asked if they could come by and pray as they were in the area. They gladly accepted.

The outreach team came into the house and you could see the pain on this young lady's face. When she would tilt her head downwards, the pressure and pain was so intense that her eyes would start to water. They laid hands on her and commanded the pain to go. Just a minute or two into prayer the young lady shuddered and the team all felt the power of God go out from them and through her body. She would describe later that it felt like something slithered down her neck and out of her body. Instantly, the pain left her and she was totally healed!


What makes it significant is that she had received prayer many times from others while having a migraine and had never received healing. Not so this time!


Come on Jesus!!!


Hernia Healed!

Recently, an outreach team was in a local neighborhood, preaching the Gospel. There were few people out that night, so they just decided to go door to door. They came to one door and a young lady opened the door. From inside the house a lady sitting on the sofa asked, "What do you want?!" The outreach team told her that they were here to tell them that Jesus is King and His Kingdom was on the earth! She replied, "Maybe another time, right now I am in too much pain to talk". The team told her, "That's what we're here for, no matter what the pain, Jesus is King over it, please let us pray for you!"

The lady told them that she had a hernia in her abdomen that was causing intense pain. You could actually see it pushing out her shirt. She had a baby two months prior and this aggravated the already existing hernia. She had been in so much pain that she couldn't take care of her little baby and her daughters were having to feed, clothe and change the babies diapers. The team told her that there is no pain i Heaven and if the Kingdom came to her body she would be delivered of the pain. She rated the pain around an 8 or 9 out of ten, you could tell she was in pain because she was sitting so very still o the couch, unable to get up even.


The team prayed and as they prayed, they asked the lady, "What do you feel?" She said, "nothing". A little discouraged, the team asked her, "so you felt absolutely nothing while we were praying for you?" She replied, "No, I fell NO PAIN! There is NO PAIN!" She began to touch the once extremely tender area and press it. In a minute, she jumped up off the couch with tears in her eyes to hug the team saying, "No I can go and take care of my baby! Thank you Jesus!


Thank you Jesus!


Shrinking Cyst!

Several weeks ago an outreach team encountered a woman and her daughter in a local neighborhood where they were preaching. Come to find out BOTH the woman and her daughter had cysts on their ovaries. This caused intensely painful periods and the doctors told the young girl that depending on the growth of the cyst on one of her ovaries, her ability to have children may be hindered. The outreach team told them both that there are no cysts in Heaven and if the reality of Heaven came into their bodies, then they would be healed! They prayed and agreed to check in on them in a couple of weeks.

Just a couple of weeks later they were back in the neighborhood and they ran into the young girl who had the cyst on one of her ovaries. They asked how she was and she told them, "Well, about a week ago I was having some pain in my abdomen and my Mom said that it was probably the cyst growing and that we should go to the doctors. I was upset because the doctors would have to operate to remove the cyst and there would be danger to my ovaries that could prevent me from having children. Anyway, long story short, I went in, the doctors took a look at the problem cyst and instead of it growing, it had shrunk to where the doctors said it posed absolutely no problem to my ovaries!"

Her Mom told the doctor about these strange people that had come to their house and prayed for the cyst to disappear and how God answered their prayer. The doctors reply was, "Wow, God still does miracles today, that is something else!"

Come on Jesus!
