I gotta tell ya -- we just came out of an awesome revival this past week in our church, and I've seen things I've never seen in my 38 years. Get this...
A woman visited our church 3 weeks ago from West Palm. She came to see a friend who is a member here. She loved our church so much, at the first visit she said, "I'm called here." She stayed and began looking for a job. I believe her final interview was yesterday. This lady is wonderful, such a true servant. In just 3 weeks at our church you wouldn't believe all she's done for us -- I'm talking ANYTHING. She'll scrub floors if you need it, she'll do WHATEVER. I'm telling you -- precious gem. WELL...
The other night a focus in the revival was healing. We probably had 20 people instantaneously healed. I don't know exact number but we prayed for people for 3 hours...it was awesome. This woman came up because she had a tumor in her throat, toward the back of her neck. There are 2 doctors at our church who were on hand to confirm healings that could be confirmed right there. You know usually when you pray for healing of a tumor you pray, "shrink it down," or "dissolve it." That's what we were expecting. Get this...the evangelist prayed for this woman. She immediately coughed and no kidding, God send the tumor right out of her mouth!!! I know you're thinking, "eeew gross." Yes it was gross, a bloody blobby tumor and you are thinking, "WHY?" Well, I guess God wanted us to see that He healed it right then and there. One of the docs was on hand to confirm it. Would God make someone throw up in church? Well, I had never seen it before, but this time there was a true purpose. This lady was healed by the power of God and we all saw it. The evangelist called my son Jordan over (13 yrs old) and said, "Jordan, grab this woman's legs -- they are going to straighten out and she's going to be instantly healed." He remarked, "we're training these kids for supernatural ministry, right here." Jordan took the woman's ankles, and "pop" a miracle happened. His eyes were big as saucers. Awesome, awesome!!! The Lord is awesome. Our receptionst was immediately healed of a breathing problem.
Our church is on such a high with all God has done in this revival this week. Awesome spirit of worship, fantastic challenging messages, miracle healings, salvations. We know the best is yet to come.
Ladies, remember what I shared in my "devil can't stop what God's gonna do" post? Well, i had "one of those weeks" last week -- it got comical it was so non-sensical. But it all made sense after Sunday because all heaven broke loose in our church and so much was accomplished in people's lives. I can't wait til' Sunday, because it's not stopping or slowing down. God is so good.
We share problems on this board -- I think it's important we share the joys too!
God is just too awsome! What a thing to see. I mean, I know it was, unpleasant in a way, but what a testimony.!!!!!!!!! You can't deny he did that!!!!
Part of my testimony has to do with something similar. When I was young in Christ, I used make fun of this sort of thing, (healing services and laying hands on)can you believe it? I fell once at Deanna's church in Baltimore and they layed hands on me and had the visiting evangelist pray for healing. I thought it was a very strange thing to do, until I was an adult and my child's life was in danger.
I prayed over her, laying hands on her belly, (the staff was allowing her to starve at 2 weeks old because she was "not worth saving"), anyway, I prayed to God for a way to feed her and save her life and he provided it! Minutes later! I never doubted this again!!!
A few years back, a freind in ministry had a problem in her pregnancy, and she called me. I prayed about it and he told me to go to her and lay hands on and pray. I did like I was told! The little guy now is ALL BOY!!!!!!! I did not do that, God did it. I just obeyed him.
I can not believe I used to actually make fun of such MIRACLES FROM GOD!!!! We need to come to God with "CHILD LIKE HEARTS", don't we? Glad you had such a wonderful week! I hope the spirit of your revival lasts all year!! love, lw

I am so excited to hear about what God is doing at your church. It is so refreshing to hear about true miracles being performed by the power of God! I pray that this same type of revival that has been experienced in your church will take over this nation.
Today is the eve of an important election. However, what we truly need in this country, even more than we need George Bush or John Kerry, we need a move of the Spirit. We need people to catch on fire for the Lord so that we can change this nation and this world for the glory of God. God truly wants to reveal his glory to his people. We just need to get to the position where we can be a conduit instead of causing confusion.
I thank God for you sharing this awesome report with us. It truly strengthens my faith and my level of expectancy from God. My husband preached yesterday about expecting God to move every time we enter the sanctuary. I am going to live up to that challenge!
I was so excited about hearing the revival that's taking place in your church and the miraculous healings that are happening that i had to share it with my church last night at service.
We had a young lady about 27yrs. old come up for prayer b/c she has just been diagnosed with MS. She is believing God for a miracle and we agreed with her, putting our faith with hers. It was so encouraging to her to hear how God is moving and healing those who just believe. We said that if God could do it for a woman in Florida, than He could certainly do it for a young lady in Montreal. Praise God!!! Please keep sharing these testimonies. They are so encouraging!
