Jim was trained under The Elijah Challenge in Houston in February
2008. He reports:
"I have to tell you about my time with my barber. She had been suffering with
carpal tunnel and degenerative arthritis for a very long time, with a lump
the size of a golf ball on her wrist and about 10% flexibility in her fingers.
She had had to cut back her hours because of pain, able only to work a few
hours a day.
During
my last haircut she was telling everyone about her problem and
was wearing a wrist brace. I wanted to minister to her but didn't
get a
chance. Today she was still telling all her customers her story. She
even had a "reiki" healer treat her. Here was an "Elijah Challenge" situation
if ever there was one.
While
cutting my hair I told her about Elijah and Jesus and that I wanted
to minister to her to show her that Jesus is the same
God who heals the sick and who forgives our sins and that HE is the only
way to the Father.
After
the first time of laying on of hands ministry, there was some movement
and less pain. BUT after the second time the swelling was
almost
gone
and
with the sound of a "pop" in her finger joint, all flexibility
had returned with no pain."
