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!
