"A
believer in my church that had been directed to me a while back and
wanted me to share with her my knowledge about healing and I had
shared with her what I had been taught at that time and told her
to follow the example of Jesus and the apostles. Four Sundays ago
I was sharing some principles of The Elijah Challenge with this same
woman and her husband not long after our Advanced Training in Houston.
After going over just a few of the principles taught I had explained
that the main purpose in this authority we have been given were in
the name of evangelism and she replied that she didn’t feel
called to be an evangelist. I told her that she might not be called
to be an evangelist but God has commanded “all believers to
go and make disciples.“ This was taking place at the front
lobby of the church after service was let out and at that time she
asked if I would pray for her and I asked what was wrong for I had
no idea she had any medical problems. She replied that she had herniated
(or bulging) discs and that she could hardly stand there talking
to me.
I
told her and her husband to open their eyes and not to pray but to
take authority and we started pushing that mountain into the sea.
After the first time we commanded healing she still had pain, then
the 2nd time she had relief but not all pain was gone, then the 3rd
time all pain was totally gone. I had her walking doing knee bends,
touching her toes, moving side to side and no pain existed. After
that I don’t know why but I asked her if she had any pain in
her knees and she said she took cortisone shots often for them due
to degenerated something, I forgot the medical term. I had her husband
and her together with us all taking authority in Jesus’ name
and her knees were totally pain-free. During all this many people
in the church witnessed this. There was also a new members luncheon
that had just let out and while they were being given a tour of the
church they also witnessed this. We all gave glory to Jesus, a few
weeks later the woman spoke to me in the lobby and testified that
she was still free from pain.
Last Sunday
my wife and I went to the home of a couple who sponsored a life impact
group. I got to witness to a new brother that just started coming
to the church… There were people praying for some who were
not present who had infirmities and after everyone was finished I
asked if there was anyone who had any infirmities. One man was a
diabetic; his pancreas was dead. Another woman said her doctors told
her she needed a knee replacement. I had the group open their eyes
and lay hands on the man and we commanded a new pancreas; we are
waiting for the report from the doctor. [Then I turned to the woman
who had the bad knee.] I instructed that if she had any unforgiveness
or bitterness in her heart, she should get that out of the way first.
She admitted that she had had some problems with a co-worker and
that she had taken care of that. After that we laid hands on the
woman’s knee and commanded healing, I took her hand [and walked
her around]. She said she didn’t have a limp anymore so I had
her squat; she felt pain in her knee. We laid hands on her again
with authority and I took her hand and had her exercising her knee
as she had not been able to before. She got on her knees and cried
before everyone and exclaimed that she had wanted to go to the altar
to pray that morning and could not do so because of her knee. After
that we all gave praise to God and I gave praise to God and begin
to pray openly and asked that God would give each person there a
boldness to carry out the work that he has for us; we were all worshiping
God."

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