Miraculous healing after Hurricane Ike
"Last
week as I arrived home it was on my mind to return a generator that
one of my customers had loaned to me. I loaded the generator onto
my truck and my wife told me that the man had called that day wondering
if power had been restored to our home after the hurricane---it had
already been restored two weeks prior to his call. I returned his
generator that evening and apologized for the delay in returning
it. I had been working 16 hours a day restoring power to people all
over Houston after the hurricane. As we unloaded the generator, he
told me that he had had knee surgery and he was in constant pain
when he applied his weight on it. He told me that the doctor had
operated microscopically on his meniscus, some ligaments and tendons.
I offered him some cash for the use of his generator. But he would
not take it and told me to give it to my church.
So I began
to witness to him. He told me he grew up in church, but had admitted
he had backslidden. I began to tell him that it was not about going
to church, but a condition of his heart and told him about sin, God’s
righteousness, judgment, and the Cross. I told him my story of God
supernaturally calling me to Him on my own jobsite. He was amazed
and asked a lot of questions. After that I told him that I would
like to pray over his knee and he said at this point he would not
turn down anything to get relief. I commanded it once to be healed
in Jesus’ name and I told him to try it out and walk. He was
amazed how much better it was. So I commanded it a second time, and
all the pain was gone. He was so excited. I ministered to him some
of God’s word, gave him one of my Bibles and told him that
he needed to get alone with God tonight and repent and follow Him---to
read His Word and obey what it says. As we parted I knew things were
different than at first."
Skin
of elderly gentleman instantly restored & much more
"I
would like to share a testimony of the Lord's kindness. I was at
an elderly customer's house doing electrical repairs. After I finished
I visited with him for he was a previous customer and a believer.
The gentleman is 84 years old and has many medical problems such
as congestive heart failure, pernicious anemia, ruptured hernia 3
times, arthritis in his hands, his legs from the knees down were
swollen, and the skin was very red and hard like fish scales. There
were too many problems to list. I had prayed for him around 3 years
ago not totally knowing what I have since learned from The Elijah
Challenge training.
I took
authority and rebuked the spirits of infirmities and commanded healing
in his legs, hands, heart, blood, and other parts of his body. I
told him to keep his eyes open and to watch as I commanded. Immediately
he told me that he felt power going through his legs; his skin changed
before our eyes. On his left leg the skin changed from hard and rough
to white, smooth, and soft. The right leg was getting better but
more slowly. His hands were able to function perfectly with no pain.
I called the next day to check on him and he told me that he hadn't
slept that well in years. He did wake up in the night and it was
as if he could feel my hands on his legs and could feel the Holy
Spirit was still working on him. I will be returning to minister
to him again very soon."
Luke
10:9 "Heal the sick who
are there and tell them,
'The kingdom of God is near you.’"
