And the power of the Lord was present with Him to heal them.….
This reference is from Luke 5:17b (AMP) and is reflective of what occurred at evening church last night.
This was an experience last night where we saw probably 20 people healed of sickness such as MS, injuries and diseases.
It began with a series of testimonies from Chris Gore as he just returned from a trip to Canada he shared about miraculous healings which are on VIdeo and on his Facebook. He gave a testimony of a woman who was suffering from MS and she was completely healed. Another one related to a woman who had muscles that has been surgically removed, having been reinstated miraculously. Too hard to believe? He has video of the testimonies!
In any case after he shared, then several leaders of the church who sensed that God was wanting to move in the area of healing, got up and gave 'words of knowledge' relating to specific areas in people's lives that God wanted to touch e.g. damaged ankles, knee problems, damaged neck issues –etc. They then asked people stand up who were so affected by these ailments, then people in the church gathered around them and began to pray and those leaders also came down and also joined the prayer. There were probably 100 people that stood up for prayer for healing.
After this they asked for people to come forward to share testimony of what God had done. I would estimate that probably a third of the people that stood received healing and also that about 30 people went forward to share and testify. There were probably around four or five people that had ankle injuries that had been completely healed and had received full mobility.
– One gal we had met a couple of weeks previous stood up to share that God has healed her neck which was injured in a car accident several years ago, she now had full mobility.
There was absolutely no question that the power of God to heal was very present and we saw many miracles. Unfortunately, mine was not one of them and my thoughts on this matter I share in the next blog.
So that basically finishes our Sunday which began with morning prayer service, church service, firestarters (which I have spoken about previously) and which again was a great session. But then part of our day also included…
Our visit to the children's church and being ministered to by the children:
As I mentioned in an earlier blog, we requested the opportunity to be able to go to children's church and have the children pray for us. We met there at 9:15 and watched as observers until they were ready to call us up for prayer.
As we sat there watching the children, they were in praise and worship time with songs having lots of actions, quite upbeat and joyful. There were probably about 50 kids ranging from age six to age 12 . They also had their share of naughty (possibly ADHD kids) who were causing some ruckus towards the back of the group. The leaders did not show any anger or raise their voices toward these children. But instead on occasion different ones would come up to these children and put their arm around and give them a hug and speak tenderly to them. There was a tremendous showering of love expressed toward these naughty ones.
There was one event that was really powerful for us. At one point during the praise where there were several kids being rowdy, the fast music began to wind down into more of a quieter worship style. Some children began to sit and quieten down.
Carole and I began to notice that the presence of God seemed to just begin to fall. The leader at the front didn't say anything to the children but he also sensed the presence of God and he just began saying quietly 'wow, wow' and then all of a sudden within the space of 30 seconds all children were seated and quiet.
It was as if even the 'naughty' children sensed the presence of God and began to settle. That in itself was an awesome experience. But then, the leader began asking the children 'do you sense God saying anything at the moment and he then handed the microphone around. It went around with the kids saying things like 'I sensed God's love being present or another would say 'sensed God's peace here or one child said 'I sensedGod just taking away all my bad thoughts and naughty attitudes'. One child said 'I see an angel'. The leader then asked where? And the child pointed in a direction. Other children also began saying I see an angel too! And as they also indicated where in the room that they sensed the angel was located. In all, there were four angels seen by the children and all in different locations.
The leader then asked if any children were sick today or had any injuries and invited the children to go to one of these locations where the angels had been seen. Once relocated, the children were asked what injuries or sicknesses they had. Some of them also said that when they went to the location where an angel was, the sickness or injury left. There were some children who still had sickness on injury and the leader then began to pray . All in all, there were probably 10 children who indicated a sickness or injury from which they were healed.
The leader then introduced us to come to the front explaining that we were from Australia and that I had suffered a stroke. He then had the children gather around me and they laid hands on me and he asked them to pray. The children then proceeded to pray and did so with great authority and high-level faith. I was then asked if there was any change and since there was not, they prayed for me again and did this a couple of times. Towards the end, the leader then explained to the children that this is an area where they are contending for a breakthrough because whenever, they, in children's church get a breakthrough in this area then they will also be able see many other similar people healed. He then went on to talk about the healing that they were contending for for a young girl in their class named Charlotte who was wheelchair bound being a Cerebral Palsy victim. they loved on her and believed for her healing.
The children then blessed us and we'left feeling tremendously privileged and honoured to have been in that environment and to share with the children. We again went back at 11:45 for the second kids church session and we had a similar experience with regard to the children praying for us. I was then able to share with them about our '9:59 AM' miracle which I have shared in a previous blog. I did this to encourage them to continue to believe and to contend with God for miraculous healings even if it doesn't come until the last minute. The whole experience was quite amazing and we will remember it for a long time.
We are trusting for God's love to be poured out on you today!!
For Nat and Kylie: God is on the move! The hungrier you get for Him, the more you will be filled.
Love to all
Rob and Carole
