More reports from Pastor Albert
Early in the morning, Grace and I were asked to heal a blind and bedridden man who lived opposite the church. Pastor Butch came with us and by the grace of God, the man got up to walk in the name of Jesus. His blind eyes were partially healed and he could see light and shadows. His wife complained that he had lost his appetite for a couple of days. After we laid hands on his abdomen, he suddenly called out to his wife that he was very hungry and needed her to feed him immediately. Later, Grace and the other sister laid hands and healed the wife of a hard growth in her abdomen. The hard growth became soft, shrank in size, and then it was gone.
At 11.00 AM, we conducted a brief Elijah Challenge training with the pastors and some of the leaders of the church. They were happy that they could exercise their mountain-moving faith and experience the healing power of our Lord.
The second healing service was scheduled in the afternoon. In spite of the hot weather, the people from different churches started to arrive before 2.00 PM. There were a couple of pastors and elders who came with great expectation. Soon the sound of worship filled the warm sanctuary. Grace presented a special song of worship before I took the pulpit. Once again, I shared about the power of God to heal whenever the believers apply their mountain-moving faith. Some of the pastors approached me later to say that they had never heard about the authority to heal. However, they believed because they witnessed the healing miracles right before their very eyes.
During the healing demonstration, ten people came up to be healed. Once again, as all the infirm were believers, I had Pastor Butch to lead them in a prayer of confession and repentance. The healing of Christians is always conditional upon their spiritual state. After instructing those who were commanding to keep their eyes open when they lay hands on the affected areas, I proceeded to lead them in commanding the sick to be healed.
The Lord confirmed His promises by healing these people. A pastor testified that the Lord had healed him of the pain in his left calf muscle. Another pastor moved his arm vigorously because God had healed his painful shoulder and joint. The third pastor to testify was healed of pain in his lower back. A church elder’s leg was healed when his wife, who is a pastor, laid hands on him. This lady pastor was also healed of her own infirmity. She later testified that her painful leg had been restored to normality. A young lady received healing of her neck. The pain left her immediately after an ordinary believer laid hands on her. A middle-aged lady was healed of her migraine headache. Later, Pastor Butch helped me in giving the commands both in English and Cebuano.
As the faith of the ordinary believers grew, commands after commands, more people were healed. An elderly lady who was at first disappointed that her painful back was not healed, received healing after the final command. Shekinah, the pastor’s youngest daughter, was so impressed that she joined in to help in the healing. The lady whom she helped to heal was healed of migraine headache.
That afternoon, the leaders and believers from different churches were encouraged to exercise their God-given authority to heal the infirm and share the Gospel. They were responding to the Word of God that states in Luke 9:1-2, "He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and then He sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick." Some of the pastors invited us to come to their cities and barangays to share the Elijah Challenge Basic Training in the future.
