This
nameless sister attended
The Elijah Challenge Advanced Training in Houston in February 2008.
"I
am now in [the mission field] teaching and evangelizing. Today,
I was able to put into practice
The Elijah Challenge. I chose
to do so
only after evangelism teaching and call. 180 women attending,
mostly church members, 21 brand new professions...one a wife of a witchdoctor,
another a mother of a member for whom everyone had prayed for
a
long time. Many of the rest were visitors, praise God. After lunch,
more
teaching and then healing. A crippled woman stands straight,
a woman in great pain dancing down the aisle, a headache gone, a shoulder
pain gone, a leg pain gone, a broken heart and fear removed.
I teach before healing that God uses healing to give
people a 'taste of the kingdom of God'---it is not salvation. They
are to "go
and sin no more." God wants to give them hope. When time for
testimonies came, no one spoke, then it began to pour so hard that
one could barely think, much less hear. We stopped and sang until
it stopped. This was used by God to give people time to see their
own healing and testimonies began to come. As we were praising and
hearing testimonies I had a sudden sharp pain in my palm that was
so painful I couldn't touch it. A black spot appeared. I immediately
considered evil influence, but I was not afraid for I stand in the
blood of Christ. Prayed with a friend, the pain went away and the
black spot nearly gone now (a day later). It was a blessed day."

10:9 "Heal
the sick who are there and tell them,
'The kingdom of God is near you.’"
