Equipping
servants of God at Isaiah 58 House
The
Training was hosted by Joseph White and Isaiah 58 House Director
Chris Faraguna. A small group of disciples gathered at Isaiah
58 House all day on a Saturday to be trained with The Elijah
Challenge.
In the evening the poor came to receive food and clothing, and
there
were
six
testimonies
of God physically touching or healing them as the disciples laid
hands on them.
Afterwards the servants of God applied what they
had learned in the Basic Training. See below for some of the amazing
testimonies.
Testimonies in the aftermath of the Training
From
Chris Faraguna on Haiti Mission Trip
"I
just want to tell you how important it was for you to come
here when you did. Not only did your visit impact the Chinese
community in Flushing and John Slionski's
Army for God [see below], but it affected our Haiti mission trip
tremendously.
We saw over
80 people healed and over 100 people saved. One healing
was tremendous---we commanded a mute spirit out of a boy
and
commanded his tongue to be loosed and he spoke. He had
not spoken to anyone for over 10 years; now he is communicating
with others. We have this on video. We also had two major
deliverances in the meetings. We commanded the evil spirits
out of two girls and then they accepted Jesus. It was something
out of the Book of Acts. We then trained about 12 pastors
on the kingly anointing."
From
Pastor Mel Melato on Haiti Mission Trip
"I
applied your teaching for the first time in Haiti following your
guidelines with more than a dozen pastors and the
result was amazing when I called two pastors to volunteer and demonstrate
what they had learned through the teaching.
A six-months pregnant woman came forward requesting healing. She
had thought that there was no life in her womb because
there had been no movement in her womb. The two volunteer pastors commanded
the spirit of death to go. Then something in her womb started to
move.
Hallelujah! Everyone praised God.
There were three young people and one older person delivered from
evil, dumb, and deaf mute spirits. 140 more were healed of various
sicknesses, diseases
and infirmities."
Other testimonies from Pastor Mel Melato
"My wife and my daughter are continually blessed from the teaching that you brought forth in our midst and everytime we bring "Christ Healing to all Nations" to churches around New York, the glory of God's healing and deliverance will come upon the people.
We have been to Salvation Army church, to Evangelical Italian Christian Church, once more to Jesus Spanish Church, to Christ All Nations Mission Church and to
Open Bible Filipino Church....the effect of your teaching is the same....the miracle healing
power of God would just descend upon the people."
From
New York host Joseph White
"I
will be sending you all the testimonies of what has been going
on
here
since
you
left
New
York....
I will share one quick testimony....last week I ministered to
a woman named Maloney who was diagnosed with a tumor the size
of a orange on her ovaries ...she was scheduled to have surgery
the following week. I had her friend Sandy lay her hand on the
area where the tumor was swelling out of her abdomen. I commanded
it to dissolve in the mighty name of Jesus ...one week later
she had her final MRI before the surgery. The doctors reported
that it was gone completely and they sent her home! Maloney then
went about calling all her friends and family reporting of the
miracle...
Then three days later I was asked to share my testimony at a
leaders meeting for the Army for God youth group gathering. A
sixteen year old girl named Jasmine came to me after she was
telling me of overwhelming fears she suffered from...as she was
talking the Lord showed me what to do ..I asked her to trust
the lord to deliver her from all rejection and fear. When we
went into a private room to pray, I laid my hand on her and commanded
the demons of fear to go and then rejection from the womb to
go....!! Well, she hit the floor and thrashed about for a moment
knocking the kitchen garbage pail over ..she screamed and cried...then
a miracle happened she was delivered! Peace and love filled her
to overflowing!! She was just newly introduced to the Lord a
week earlier.
Now
Jonny and Heidi, founders on the Army for God, asked me if
I would share the Elijah Challenge with the
50 or so young
people that have been coming to the meetings next week. These
meetings are in a two bedroom apartment and these kids have
been cramming the place to capacity. So we offered to have
them all
come to the Isaiah 58 House venue on Long Island to do the
trainings. So next week over 50 youth will be coming to the
Isaiah 58 House
mission to hear what the Lord has to say about the Elijah Challenge!"
At
the time of this report (April
29, 2009), Joseph was planning to
teach the Elijah Challenge Basic Training to a ministry in New
York called
ARMY FOR GOD, founded by John Slionski
and Heidi Ova. Below is what Joseph wrote us:
"I
told you last week about what
the Lord was doing with John Slionski and Heidi Ova, founders
of the ARMY FOR
GOD ministry here
in Long Island, New York. I
hadn't even started the Basic Training
for them yet. All I did was
to exhort John a bit about the
authority to heal in Jesus' name.
Just imagine what will happen when
the
fifty youth John is leading get a hold of this Hidden
Manna!!
Here is the testimony I just received from John and Heidi:
'Praise God!
Tonight
we were training for pro-wrestling…getting in
a great workout when one of our wrestlers’ knee’s
popped out of the socket. I called for an ice pack but one of
my friends Rodrigo said to me that we should lay hands on it.
So in front of about 15 unbelievers we laid hands on Him and
by the authority that Jesus gave us we commanded that knee to
return to it’s original form. And to the shock of everyone
watching… IT DID! He got up in amazement and just praised
Jesus.
It
wasn’t even a second later when another wrestler went
down with a pinched nerve. So immediately we commanded that nerve
to open up and for Satan to be bound up. Instantaneously He was
healed. He was able to bend, turn and squat. We were all singing
God’s glory. The rest of the school was just in amazement.
So one guy was is pretty much an atheist was so stunned but said
to me that he still didn’t believe in those kinds of things.
So I said to him, ”you just watched Jesus heal two people
right in front of you.” I noticed that he had a limp. So
I asked do you want to believe in Christ tonight? He didn’t
have an answer so then I asked him if He wanted Jesus to heal
him tonight. He said yes!
So
he stood up and we commanded by the authority of our God to
heal this man’s back. The only thing that was going
through my mind was to demonstrate God’s power so everyone
believes. I asked him to bend over and he did and when he stood
back up his face was bright red! He was in total amazement. He
couldn’t believe it! He said all he felt was heat running
through his back.
Everyone
was amazed. He asked me how and why. All I said was that Jesus
had healed Him because He wants a
relationship with
him. I commanded him to jump. He said to me that he couldn’t
because of the three slipped disks in his back. So I shouted
to him that he was healed and to jump…SO HE DID. So we
all started praising Jesus. Atheists and agnostics…PRAISING
GOD! He just kept telling everyone that he felt heat and that
Jesus had healed him.
What
a testimony tonight to display God’s amazing power.
Two believers praising God’s power in front of people who
never believed…until tonight!'"
