Mission
team members healed and delivered at Seminary
Saturday
Evening, January 15
The
first healing testimony in Baguio was that of a Singaporean brother.
He had come to minister to the people
in Baguio with his
mission team from a Methodist church in Singapore. This brother
and
his team were staying at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary and
that evening, had dropped by to greet Rev. and Mrs. Yee Tham Wan,
the
seminary’s president and his wife. I was present at the Yee’s
residence because I was the guest of the president. The world is
indeed a small place because one member of the mission team knew
me from way back. This sister was a former member of our church
in Singapore. She and I had not met each other for about 20 years.
After
the introduction to her teammates, the subject of healing came
up. I took the opportunity to share about The Elijah Challenge
and what ordinary Christians can do about the healing ministry.
After
sharing, I asked if anyone needed healing and two from the team
responded.
Because of his depleted hearing condition,
the brother had to wear a hearing aid. On that cold Saturday’s night, as his fellow
team members laid hands on him and commanded his ear to be healed.
A miracle happened - the static noise in the ear was immediately
gone. Everybody rejoiced and laughed at the expression of shock on
this brother’s face. He said that he could hear much better
than before. After the second rebuke, his hearing continued to improve.
By the time, the impromptu healing session ended, this brother claimed
70 percent recovery of his hearing. The rest of the team promised
to continue exercising their faith to heal him further in the name
of Jesus.
A lady had a condition that was definitely
caused by demonic interference. She said that as she walked into
the president’s house, the
right side of her body began to shake. Apparently she had this condition
for quite a while and it usually happened when she was going to church
or attending any Christian activities. She had sought medical helps
and the doctors confirmed that the shaking had nothing to do with
Alzheimer’s disease or any other known diseases. During the ‘interview’ she
expressed desire to get her ‘shaking’ condition healed.
After giving the female members of the team instruction about how
to lay hands and rebuke the infirmity, I proceeded to command the
shaking to stop and the body to be healed. The team members repeated
my commands, word for word as they laid their hands upon her right
arm and leg. The lady’s disposition suddenly changed and took
on an almost playful and mischievous behavior. She pushed my hand,
and in a very meek voice, asked me to go away. I was little surprised
by the demonic manifestation because this lady was supposed to be
a Christian. The team heard me exclaimed, “Is she manifesting
demons?” With one voice, they said, “yes”. The
team leader, who apparently knew her well, said that this lady had
manifested demons before. By that time, the team members had stopped
laying hands and stepped away. In spite of me struggling with my
theological understanding of the situation, I decided to cast out
the demons with the authority and power given to me by our Lord Jesus.
The brave sisters moved in quickly to join in the deliverance.
The victim squirmed in great discomfort as the commands of eviction
were leveled at the demons. There was no screaming except the inflicted
lady was turning her head from side to side. Then the turning stopped
and she became calm. Peace apparently came upon her and the shaking
of the limbs were greatly reduced. Later, the shaking stopped completely
and she recovered the control of her limbs.
After
the eviction of the evil spirits, I questioned the sister about
the ‘open doors’ of her
life that had allowed demons to take control of her. She shared
a sad tale of relational disharmony,
anger, frustrations and disappointments. She had harbored all these
hurts for so long that even when asked to confess and forgive, she
took a while to consider. Weighing the consequences of disobedience,
she decided to forgive and surrender all her burdens to Jesus. Without
anyone noticing, the shaking had reduced and then it came to a halt.
She stood up and smiled. There was a radiant on her face and that
glow remained even till the following day, when I met her again on
the way to church.
Praise the Lord for doing a marvelous in the lives of these precious
ones.
Sunday, January 16
This morning, in both services at Trinidad, God moved mightily and
more than 30 people were miraculously healed. I just came back from
an evening service in another church, and God not only healed the
members but also the pastor.
