Keith attended The Elijah Challenge Seminar in
Davao, Philippines in June 2007
"I
have been blessed by your teaching. The day after you completed
the Elijah Challenge Seminar I traveled to another
city here in Mindanao to be guest speaker in a church for their
Father's Day service. I spoke about the heart of the Father towards
mankind and told them that it is God's heart to heal them. So
I did as you taught during the Seminar. About 15 people responded
to the altar call. I had the people place their hands on their
body and repeat after me rebuking the sickness. I then asked
the people if any of them were healed. Several people responded.
A woman was immediately healed of tonsillitis, a man was healed
of chest pains and difficulty breathing, the pastor's son was
healed of a potassium deficiency, and there were several people
who were healed of pain in their body.
I am excited at what God can do through me. I used to be a bit
intimidated when I ministered to the sick because I really did
not expect them to get healed, though I fully believed that God
does and will heal. Now whenever I see someone with a cane, sickness
or deformity I immediately think of it as an opportunity for
God to display His power.
I will be going to Burma in August and I plan to impart into
the Burmese believers what you have taught me about healing.
I want them to be able to effectively reach their nation long
after I am gone, and this teaching will certainly further equip
them."

"This
past weekend I traveled to the tribal area of southern Mindanao.
I was just there to drop off one of my
Bible school graduates who will be spending a year there, but
the pastor who I coordinate with in that area asked me to speak
in his church on Sunday. I spoke about living as an overcomer
and how we should be a threat to Satan's kingdom. I told them
that they should take every opportunity possible to destroy the
devil's works.
I said, "We are going to take that opportunity right now." I
asked anyone who had any sickness or problem in their body to
come forward. Five people responded. I then rebuked the sickness
and injuries and told them to check themselves. Every person
experienced a healing. An old woman was immediately healed of
a shoulder problem and she was able to move her arm around without
pain. Another older woman who has recently experienced heart
failure could no longer feel any symptoms. A younger woman was
healed of a cough and a sore throat. I told her to yell out, "I
love Jesus!" to test it. After she did that, she said that
it was perfectly healed. A small girl was healed of a fever,
and an old man with a bandage on his finger from a puncture wound
said that after I laid hands on him the pain had immediately
left. I told him to open the bandage when he got home and check
the wound.
The people were amazed. I told them that they too could perform
miracles by operating in their authority through Christ Jesus.
Praise God that He is faithful to perform His word with signs
and wonders!"

I was invited to a church this morning to speak about our Bible
College here in Davao. Before the end of the worship I could sense
that the Lord wanted to heal the people. Within my spirit I could
see angels standing around the room with smiles on their faces and
holding body parts in their hands. At the end of the pastor's message
he gave me the opportunity to lay hands on the people. To my surprise
many people responded to my call for healing. I laid hands on the
people one at a time, rebuking the sickness and infirmity. It seems
that a cold of some sorts was sweeping through the church resulting
with cough, sore throat and blocked sinuses.. After I rebuked the
sickness everyone of them was immediately healed. Their throats were
back to normal and they could breathe normally through their nose.
On top of that a woman was healed of arthritis in her elbow and another
woman was healed of dysfunctional kidneys....Praise the Lord!
I have also been applying the Elijah Challenge method when casting
out demons. I have casted out demons before but it usually took a
long time of prayer before the person was delivered. Three nights
ago I was ushering at a seminar held by Davao Christian Broadcasting
Channel. During the praise and worship a woman started manifesting
and we carried
her
outside
of
the auditorium. Once we
were outside I immediately began to rebuke the demon as the woman
was kicking and growling on the floor. I commanded the spirit to
go and the woman calmed down and began to whimper. I believe one
of the spirits left but there were still more. I waited a couple
of minutes and then began to command the power of God to saturate
her body. Again the woman began to growl and jerk uncontrollably
on the floor. I then command the spirit to "Be Removed!" and
the woman's chest and arms flung upwards as if something came out
of her, and her whole body began to relax. The woman was delivered
and we led her to the Lord.
I dealt with another demon again the following night. At a youth
service the guest speaker wanted to pray for all of the 300+ youth
in attendance. Half way through the altercall a girl started yelling
wildly. None of their ushers paid her any mind and walked away. After
realizing that no one was going to do anything about it I started
walking towards her. When I did she began to fight and kick on the
floor. When I got to her I began to rebuke the spirit and she began
to scream and kick even more. The room was dark but I could see her
eyes were open with a look of panic in them as if she was thinking, "Oh
my God what is happening to me!" as her body jerked and kicked
uncontrollably. I told her to begin saying "I am free!" With
a struggling and worn-out voice she began to say it as her body continued
to flop around. I then told her to say, "Jesus is Lord!" She
began saying that. After a while she began to calm down but it wasn't
over. She began to repeatedly cry out, "I"m sorry, I'm
sorry." as she squirmed around on the floor. I began to rebuke
condemnation and then said "Peace" and she relaxed and
rolled over on her face where she stayed for about 20 minutes.
God is good. I very much enjoy seeing the power of our God manifested
through us Believers, and not just telling people about the love
and power of God, but showing them.

Report from Burma
August 20, 2007
After about 18 hours of traveling, being harassed by taxi drivers
and spending the night in the Bangkok airport I have finally arrived
in Burma. It is very impoverished and underdeveloped compared to
any other capitol city that I have been to in Asia. It seems to be
cut off from the rest of the world. It wasn't until after I arrived
that I found out that there are not ATMs or Western Union here. Having
only $40 in Thailand Bahts in my wallet this proves to be a problem,
but there may be other solutions to this problem.
I am very excited to be here. As the plane descended to land, I
looked out over the Burmese countryside and I could already sense
that I would be coming back to this nation some day. I can already
feel a passion and love for the Burmese people developing within
me, and despite the language barrier I find the people here to be
very friendly.
Only
a few hours after I arrived in the city I met up with my team and
we attended the Sunday service of our host church. I was impressed
by the spiritual atmosphere of the church and despite the fact that
I only had three hours of sleep the previous night I could feel the
power and presence of God surge through my body. We introduced ourselves
and Putri, the Indonesian on our team, preached an excellent message
about the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man. Afterwards
I was given the opportunity to ministry prophetically to the corporate
church and held a healing line where we saw people healed of pains
in their body, sicknesses, migraines and other unnamed illnesses.
We have begun! This is just the tip of the iceberg. We have established
a foothold and we expect to continue forward in boldness, love and
in supernatural power! Burma you will never be the same again.

The Elijah Challenge in the Philippines in June 2007.
This
past Sunday I was a guest speaker in a church 3 hours outside of Davao.
I preached a message about the power within us to change our circumstances.
I highlighted points from your lecture, such as God always
raises up a person to kill the giants that the church faces. I taught
them how many Christians pray to God to fix their situation while
they sit back and take no responsibility or take the initiative to
rise up and use the authority God has given us. After the message I
called all the sick to come forward. About 30 people responded.
I had each person lay their hand on their own body and
rebuke the sickness following my lead. It turns out that
everyone was healed! Or if they were not healed they refused
to tell me...which could also be a possibility. However
every person that I spoke to said that they were healed and were willing to testify before the church.
I hear
that our students in Indonesia really enjoyed Sister Lucy's
teaching. They were very amazed and excited that God could use them.

Concerning the mighty exploits of the
students...
They have really been amazed at how simple it is to
heal a
person, and how the authority to heal is such a basic aspect of
our Christian walk. Today I did the demonstration after
the lecture.
There were only two students who had a problem in their body.
So I
laid hands on the first student who is a 60-year-old woman with
pain
in her lower spine and rebuked the infirmity. She was instantly
healed! I had her then lay hands on the other student who had
pain in
her upper back and shoulders. After rebuking it, the pain was
completely gone. I praise God for the success in healings performed
in front of the students because it shows them how simple and
easy it
is to do. It really encourages them to realize that they too
are
capable of such exploits in Christ Jesus.
One of our students is a pastor's wife. She has been telling her
husband about the lecture and videos and they are interested in teaching
this in their church as well. You have been multiplying yourself....praise
God!

the sick who are there and tell them,
