Prophecy and Pioneering

2011-07-20T00:43:00.000-07:00

Tonight I was contemplating the aspect of the prophetic that requires us to carry promises that there is not yet honor for... Sometimes it means walking in things the world has never seen, giving language to the God deposits we find in people, planting promises another generation will reap the benefits of by testifying to what we can see and speaking the future into existence. I was also thinking about how pioneers can be equally misunderstood because they see things others cannot see and for the sake of vision, they go where others are not willing to leave their comfort zones to go. They do things first in faith and in so doing forge trails and chart a paths on foot that others one day will travel on in cars. The inheritance we freely enjoy and take for granted we owe to those who were willing to take risks. They stepped out in faith even when they could only see in part and at times looked foolish to others. To the pioneers and visionaries, thank you for not letting the voices of criticism and intimidation quite the One inside you leading you on, and the fear of the unknown confine you to mediocrity. May I also have the patience to hold onto promises that will one day transform the world around me and the courage to be a trail blazer that does not settle for what has been but presses forward into what can be. I hope that you too embrace all that God has for you, because the grace needed for the journey has already been supplied, the treasures you find in people are priceless, and the end is always glorious whether it be in this life or the next.

Testimonies from my last week in Bethel Healing rooms

2010-09-08T14:19:00.000-07:00

I painted this three weeks ago in the healing rooms Aug 2010. That day I felt like the Lord was saying I love you with a bouquet of flowers. When God shows me beautiful things sometimes he is just saying I love you. He loves you more than you could ever know or realize. He wants to share with you his secrets and tell you how precious you really are to Him. The smile on his face is because He is thinking about you!

Today I really enjoyed laughing with him this last week over sick people. I didn't even know what was wrong with them at the time. They started laughing too and got healed! I had so much fun- I think heaven will close to what I experienced today. Praise Jesus. God is so good and loves us so much : )

Prayer Recipient Testimonies

Twenty-five years ago, George had a powerful visitation. After he prayed for a boy for eight hours, nothing happened. George and his wife Linda lost confidence in how God was working.

George came down to the Hem of His Garment five weeks ago. While he was on the ground, he asked God to restore Linda's confidence because 25 years ago, George and Linda thought he looked like an idiot when he prayed for the boy. God said, "You pray for Linda. I'll heal her lupus." George said, "That would do it, Lord." He went home and prayed for her, and they knew she was healed. As he prayed for her, Linda rocked like a baby. She had no control over her body. She went for a blood test. The test came back, and the doctor said she was perfect. There was no lupus. The doctor said, "I have never seen this before. It must have gone into remission." But it's not "remission"; she is healed!

George is starting the school of ministry next week.

For years when she has stood for five plus minutes Linda has had excruciating lower back pain. She was feeling a cooling sensation on her back. As she shared that testimony, a young man taking testimonies prayed for her leg to grew out, and it grew out a half inch. Then George's leg grew out, too. He said he felt the muscles stretch.

Ron from Maple Valley, WA

Ron came in with a knee problem. He had a torn meniscus. God started healing him in the Encounter Room. He asked for a complete restoration of the meniscus even what was surgically removed two years ago. The knee feels good.

*His son got healed last December. A few years ago he had leukemia. In December, his blood count started going down. It went to 900. If it kept going down, he would need a bone marrow drawing to see if it was back. He had been free for three years. They came for prayer at the Healing Rooms here and had his blood checked the Monday after that. His ANC counts were up over 2200, which is normal. It went from 900 to 2200 in three days. He's six years old now. God is also healing him of Downs's Syndrome.

*Alicia from Kingsburg

Alicia was depressed about her children's problems, such as drug addiction. She came in for prayer for them. She did not mention the physical needs she such as the scar tissue on the back of her neck from surgery a couple of years ago and the pain in the lower part of her back and stomach from other surgeries. But the prayer servant put her hands on Alicia's neck and head. She also laid hands on her stomach. Alicia's pain is all gone and so is the scar tissue! She testified that she feels renewed in her spirit.

Her husband didn't ask for prayer for his own body, either, but his back feels lots better.

*Jill from Klamath Falls

The pain left Jill's body, and she can take really deep breaths, whereas she couldn't before. She has had chronic pain for a couple of years most of the time. It's gone. It fell off. She had asthma a couple of years ago, too. Now she can breathe deeply. She did not accept that she had asthma even though the doctor said she did. She told him to stop saying it. He said, "OK, you have asthma symptoms." She received prayer for tinnitus also, and her ears are better. She said, "It feel feels 'sweet' in my ears."

*Rose from Bay Area

Young Rose had a shoulder injury, and her neck hurt really badly for four months. She couldn't lift her left arm above her shoulder. Now she can raise it high. Her parents are here, and they just cried.

*Libby and Paul from NZ

Someone gave a word of knowledge for ear problems. Libby had vertigo, and she got up and danced for five minutes and it just went. She was also released from stress as she laughed at the enemy's attempts to hurt her and her husband.

Paul had wrists worn out, and they improved a lot. In the Healing Rooms they were ministered to a lot and received confirming and encouraging words of knowledge.

*Beverly from Winnepeg

An 8-year-old called out a word of knowledge for legs or knees. Beverly stood up and tested her knees; all pain and soreness were gone. She had had that for 10 days because she had climbed a mountain.

She and her husband also asked for prayer for their eyesight. A prayer servant prayed for their eyes, and she sees a little improvement. They are getting better so she is not wearing her contacts. In fact, she threw them in the garbage. She has on and off issues with ear infections. Her left ear wasn't hurting until she heard that word of knowledge for ears. Then she felt a sharp pain, and it left. So she knows she's healed.

*Aaron from Ontario

Aaron was receiving prayer and had not mentioned that he had been poisoned by ethylene glycol, which damaged his kidneys nine months ago. Then he had an oil leak in his car that aggravated the problem. So he had edema in the feet and ankles for about two months now and kidney pain. He didn't put it on his sheet. The guy was praying for him and put his hand right where he had been kicked and put his hand by his kidneys and made a symbolic pulling motion several times, and Aaron's pain went away. Afterwards, he looked down at his feet and realized the edema was gone. He was really rejoicing.

David from Kingsburg

David believes the Lord has healed him. His experience was wonderful. The Lord really touched him, and he doesn't quite remember what happened. He said he's ready to go face the world.

Sheri from Maine

Sheri's ankle feels better after the word of knowledge for ankles and heels and after receiving prayer. She had plantar fasciitis.

Shelley from Klamath Falls

Shelley felt fear broken off from her mind.

Vesna from Arizona

Vesna came with lots of pain and overall weakness all over her body and fatigue that she has had for a year. She had lots of liver pain. Last night she was at the watch and felt a super warmth all over her body and woke up without pain. She asked the Lord to show her what was keeping her from healing. Today in the Healing Rooms the prayer servants identified some of the roots. She felt like that was an answer to her prayer. Today she has a Sozo to complete what God has been doing in her life.

Joanne from Brazil

Her friend was healed. She had a problem in her knee, a torn meniscus. She had pain and she has no pain now.

A young woman testified that she felt very edified. The Lord confirmed a lot of things He's been speaking to her. She's been chasing after her image in Him. She wanted breakthrough against fear of man. She also had a confirmation of the gift of healing that she has.

Dawn from Redding

Dawn is being healed progressively of hypothyroidism that she has had since she was a child and for which she has taken medicine for years. She has not been taking it for a month. Something the Lord showed her in an encounter also came out as she was receiving prayer at the Healing Rooms. This revelation brought release to make more room for the healing, which is progressing.

Prayer Servant Reports

*A man wanted prayer for his stuttering and psoriasis. He was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and joy, love, and his true identity were released. He started off with a major stutter. By the end of the prayer, he was speaking clearly.

*A man had restless, chronic pain in his body that never goes away. He went through an encounter and forgiveness in the Encounter Room, and now all pain is gone!

A woman no longer feels any fluttering in her heart, which she has felt since giving birth a week ago.

A lady's faith for healing was restored.

A woman's eczema was much better.

A woman came in for hearing loss among other things. Her hearing was much better after she received prayer, and she was excited about what God is doing in her life.

A woman had had two spinal surgeries and her spine was stiff. All stiffness and fatigue left. She was anointed with joy. She felt glory come from her head down her spine. She felt her spine being strengthened and elongated. She said she felt better.

A man could feel the presence of God really strongly. The Lord was releasing his tears. He gave the weight of pain and hopelessness to Jesus.

A man was first filled in the Encounter Room, and God filled him again when they prayed for him and his family.

A woman came in for prayer for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression. All guilt and shame from past participation in wicka were released, and all her pain left.

A young man forgave his parents and girlfriends. Soul ties were broken off him, and he received prophetic words and the Father's blessing. His eye was still swollen but no longer hurt. But all swelling was gone from the spider bites that had caused swelling an inch out.

A lady's scalp cysts/sebeous cysts diminished by 20%, and she is confident they will go away. She laughed at the enemy.

One of the people whose leg grew out today can now bend over more than he could do before. He is a teen who came for prayer for scoliosis and fear.

A sprained wrist is healed. It is now moveable and pain free.

A lady's hearing is better.

Healing Rooms August 28, 2010

Prayer Recipient Testimonies

Today was special. Prayer servants noted that there were lots of emotional healings. One noticed that everyone she prayed for went out under the power of the Holy Spirit; another commented that everyone was touched today. The testimony writer observed that people were especially touched by the Holy Spirit and that they spoke of their experiences today with awe. Also, several testified to the utter accuracy of the prophetic words they had received. Thepresence of the Lord was strong on everyone.

Julita, El Paso, TX

*Julita is 90 yrs old. For 20 years, her hearing has been deteriorating. Julita’s daughters bought her a hearing aid, but she refused to use it. In order for her to hear, people had to raise their voices right next to her ear. In the Encounter Room, the prayer servant on the microphone prayed that deafness would be healed; instantly, after the prayer, Julita heard her daughter call her name in a normal voice about three to four yards away.

Rod from SoCal

*Rod's back was a "mess" he says. His left leg was shattered six years ago in a motorcycle accident. The doctors put it back together again, so one (the left) was 3/4's inch shorter than the other. The leg straightened out again today (grew out). The pain is gone.

Nicole from Sacramento

*Nicole had really bad neck and back pain that she woke up with two days ago. "It was horrendous." She couldn't even move her neck. She had prayer yesterday and it was a little better, but she still had tenseness in her muscles. She received prayer and felt like she was getting a deep tissue massage up her back and down her shoulder. (None of the prayer servants were touching her.)"It's still burning," she said. There is no pain. The pain is completely gone. She's enjoying moving around.

Wakako, OR

*Wakako was experiencing shooting back pain from the drive down. When the prayer servant with the microphone looked her in the eye and talked to her, she felt the presence of God come over her body and all her pain left.

Dale, Ca

Dale has had sinus problems for 25 years now. He’s already had one corrective surgery and was scheduled for a second surgery in late October. He received prayer today, and a prayer servant had insight on the spiritual implication behind the infection. The root of the sinuses was exposed, and he received freedom in the spiritual realm. The Lord told him he didn’t need to accept the infections anymore. He received inner freedom and feels released in his destiny.

Ruth Ann, Ca

Ruth Ann has had thyroid cancer reports from the doctor and a lot of emotional turmoil. She feels free from performance and feels free inside. She will hear more news about the thyroid cancer when she gets more work. She is off her thyroid medicine and doctors say she shouldn’t be able to walk right now, but she feels fine.

Jeannie, NV

Jeannie has been suffering from gastroparesis. During the prayer time, she felt pain free and an overwhelming sense of peace.

Jacqueline from AL

Jacqueline said she felt the Holy Spirit for the first time. She felt his presence while receiving prayer.

Jim from Thousand Oaks

Everything that was spoken was just what God has been telling him about healing prayer for five or six years—what the Lord's really been showing him. He is filled with peace, and his heart is finally free. Something was happening inside, but it's much more than he can grasp, and it's going to continue. "It's the breakthrough finally," he said, "It's stunningly beautiful." It was fun talking to him because I could see the presence of the Lord on his countenance and he was so sure to have been greatly affected by what the Lord was doing in him.

Shauna from Seattle

God is setting Shauna free inside. Where there was a spirit of fear and heaviness, they are gone. There is space to move and breathe and have her being. The Lord is there and there is space to be herself. Freedom. There is peace. Her back is way better. He muscles are loose. Cerebral palsy made them tight, but they are loose now.

Bill from GA

Bill feels great. The prayer he received last night was wonderful as well as the prayer in the Healing Rooms for the last month. He believes he was healed of acid reflux, borderline case of sugar diabetes and sinus drainage. He's walking it out. The prayer last night clinched it for him. He want up for prayer, and it was like he went to a specialist. The prayer servant had just the right words. He stood there for 3 or 4 minutes listening. He was so precise when he prayed. He also spoke to Bill's soul prosperity and prayed about hindrances against ministry. Bill got a sense that this is the clincher. Bill is a minister. He also finished writing his book while here.

Joe from San Diego wrote, "I experienced such a presence of God today, starting in the Encounter Room, with music that just heals! Again in the prayer room, the presence! God just did some emotional stuff in me. That's all I know. Thank you!"

Magdalena from Louisville, KY

Magdalena received prayer for healing. She can't check anything, but she thinks her leg grew, so they are the same length. The prophetic words she received were right on target. Her house is a refuge. For years she has been praying to see and carry the glory. The prayer servant called her a "Glory Spreader" and the other prayed her house would be a house of glory. They prayed she would receive the anointing for body parts. The words and the presence of the Lord were so powerful .

Heidi from San Leandro

Heidi really believes she received healing of her headaches and fear. The tension in her shoulders is gone. She had a knot in there for months. She was told to receive and not strive.

Dave from Sea Tac, WA

Dave received prayer for arthritis in his back and for some physical systems damaged due to radiation treatment from prostate cancer in March. The prognosis is not clear. He believes God for healing

A Bethel woman has been coming in for really serious stuff. This week she ran into one of her dear friends who started making declarations, the same ones she was making over herself. Her blood pressure is normal for the first time in months. Her blood sugar is coming down. She still sometimes gets diagnoses and has two biopsies this week. Coming here has encouraged her to make declarations over her life and health. Her kidneys are coming back in line.

Michael from Redding wrote, "I got words of comfort. It helped me be more open for what God has for me."

A lady has been experiencing chronic pain in her mouth for two and a half years. She had to have brain stem surgery, but still has pain. Before coming here, she received a great inner healing from childhood wounding and a healing in her 30-year marriage. She awoke with a vision of dancing for joy over the issue during her counseling session. She came here to be pain free without meds.

Prayer Servant Reports

Pedro from Orland

*Pedro had difficulty swallowing. He had swelling in his throat and a lot of pain off and on for two years that he couldn't get rid of, and he had problems with bronchial infections. The pain went away and he could swallow with no problem.

Juan from Orland

*Juan broke his wrist about a year ago and had no strength or mobility in it. He had constant pain. After they prayed for a few minutes, most of the pain went away, and he had partial mobility in his wrist, and his wrist continued to get stronger all the time. The pressure on his grip increased. He also had pain in his head and back that went away.

(They couldn't speak English, so we hope to call them with someone who speaks Spanish and get their full testimonies. These two testimonies (of Pedro and Juan) were reported by Charlie.)

*A woman who couldn't hear well before can now hear from a distance.

*A lady received prayer for (among other things) her toenail that was partially on, and gold dust appeared around her toenail when the prayer servant removed her hand from it. She said, "I feel like a real Christian now."

*An Osgood Schlatter bump under someone's knee started melting off.

*A man had a leg tumor and something wrong with his heart (undiagnosed because he can't afford medical care). After he was 20 minutes on the floor with the Lord, there was no more "pitter patter" going on in his heart, and the tumor had shrunk so much, he had trouble finding it.

*A little girl asked, "My little toe doesn't bend? Can you pray for that?" After she received prayer, her toe could bend.

A woman with a tethered spinal cord felt a snap in the Encounter Room, and she is claiming what the Lord has begun.

A girl said that doctors had told her that her head and shoulders were twisted wrong. The prayer servant asked her if she had ever suffered trauma. She said that she had once fallen from a horse and had also been dropped as a baby. God removed the effects of the trauma and she had peace.

Two men who had ringing in the ears were freed from that.

A man who had had a rough life came in with his back hurting from a recent accident. The prayer servant said, "The Father's love was in every part of his body. All he could do was experience it." The Lord told the prayer servant, "Tell him 'I love you, honey.'"

The headache left a man who had come in with brain cancer.

A woman's psoriasis is noticeably better.

A Bethel woman's tooth was healed.

A lady felt Jesus kissing her forehead.

A man felt he had received direction.

A lady had some improvement in her hearing.

Art in Bethel's Healing rooms

2010-08-15T08:19:00.000-07:00

I love the freedom in the healing rooms at Bethel Church. The role I play in the healing rooms is a painter and a prayer servant. I have to confess that I've come when I'm not scheduled just to soak and enjoy the atmosphere.

Here's some art from my time in the healing rooms this summer...

::Title: "Portal of Grace"

::Dimensions: 3 16x20 canvases (triptych)

::Medium: Acrylic on Canvas, with UV gloss Varnish

::Date:Painted in the Healing Rooms at Bethel 6/12/10

When praying for healing, or anytime that we are praying for heaven to invade earth, it's all about partnering with the Holy Spirit. God is infinitely creative! He stays the same but what He is currently doing changes. It's not about formulas, It's about relationship. People have been known to be healed when we've had them stand in a certain place in the room. "Portal of Grace" is about just that.

It's a triptych- a three painting painting- I saw the image during the pre-prayer time before we opened up the healing rooms to the public. In a closed vision I could see that streams of light were coming down in different places through out the room. I knew that they were angels dispensing grace for healing. About that time Joaquin Evens lead a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to come and reveal to the prayer teams how to partner with Him rather than follow a formula and also to reveal where to have people stand so they would be healed without us even praying for them. Because I was assigned to painting that week, I decided to put down on canvas what I was seeing.

The next painting was Painted the Saturday following Hem of His Garment Healing conference.

::Title: "Tree of Life"

::Dimensions: 2 16x20 canvases (diptych)

::Medium: Acrylic on canvas with UV gloss varnish

::Date:Painted in the Healing Rooms at Bethel 7/24/10

A woman approached me while I was painting Tree of Life and gasp. She said that she saw this tree in heaven in her garden. She was all excited. She said that when standing under it looking out the other direction was the ocean. I've had several people come up to me and say that this tree looks really familiar, like they have seen it before. It reminded me a lot of Africa while I was painting it.

Jesus Painting from Hem of His Garment Conference at Bethel Church

2010-07-26T09:39:00.001-07:00

Jesus' face has been painted many times through out history. This is my spin on the age old paintings. During the conference this last week I felt lead to try and paint it once again. I had the privilege of painting on stage Friday afternoon for the close of the conference. It turned out differently than planned but I think it was for the better. I used a technique I had never used before that I sort of stumbled upon with the Holy Spirit's help. I painted 'wet on wet' on raw canvas with pre-primed sections. Definitely fun ragging on most of the paint. I even messed up on His left eye and later realized the mark formed his iris. Pretty cool I thought. God healed many people this last week which was amazing to witness and be apart of, but I have to say one of my favorite parts was watching so many people get ridiculously drunk in the spirit and filled with joy (including myself). Yes, there is joy in his presence! May this painting impart joy to your life today knowing that you have been purchased for a price, your sins are covered by his blood, your health has been PAID FOR in full! God is so Good!

After I finished painting it people began asking me if I added gold sparkles because there was a sparkle in Jesus' eye that kept catching the light. I didn't use any metallic or gold paint, not even a paint with a sheen, just flat acrylic paint. More and more golden sparkles have begun showing up in different places over the canvas.

::Dimensions: 36x 36x 3/4 approx

Hem Of His Garment Conference Painting

2010-07-21T18:39:00.000-07:00

The Hem of His Garment Healing conference is going on this week at Bethel. I had the privilege of painting on stage Monday Night. This painting is called Wings of Love. It is a picture of what I felt God was doing that evening during worship- releasing healing for broken hearts.

Joaquin Evens is heading up an amazing week at Bethel. Hope is filling our hearts and I am excited to hear all of the testimonies!!

Healing Rooms Testimonies- July 10

2010-07-18T15:31:00.000-07:00

Healing Rooms—July 10, 2010

Besides the healings recorded below, there were 26 reported cases of complete healing of pain and 21 of pain reduction. Twenty people left with peace and 20 with hope, and 15 felt freedom or relief. Fifteen received a prophetic word and 15 experienced the presence of God. Those numbers just indicate what the prayer servants reported. Much more happened during and after the prayer than we may ever know. Twelve were touched by God, six received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, several fell out under God’s power, and six had legs grow out. Nine forgave themselves or others, and a few received a new understanding of their identity or were reconnected to the Father.

Prayer Recipient Testimonies

Erico from Richmond

Erico is a professional athlete, and he sprained his ankle a week before a World Campionship tournament of jujitsu on his birthday, for which he had been training for months. The damage was in three spots and he had also damaged ligaments. The doctor said it would take six months to heal. It has been only a month. He can jump really high with no problem, which he demonstrated with ecstatic joy. He left with exuberant gratitude and a perfectly healed ankle.

Meg from Vancouver, BC

Meg had a right leg that was shorter and that had caused scoliosis. Her leg grew out. They prayed for her spine to relax. She said, “It sound’s so simple, but it is so amazing.” Last year she came here, and they prayed for her regarding SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which caused clinical depression for which she was on meds, and she experienced none this year. Her radiant face was the picture of joy!

Caleb from Washington

Caleb wanted prayer for complete breakthrough from fear. From the time Caleb was three when at his gradmother’s house he saw a dark figure walk from someone’s room and stare at him, he has been afraid of the dark. He would wake up at night, and still see the figure and scream. It was hard to sleep. In January, he said, “God that is not part of me. You did not give that to me.” He hasn’t seen that since. He has been seeing the Lord in his sleep now. He quit watching movies with darkness. He used to like those. After that, he went to a conference. He used to be too scared to step out. He prayed he could worship with the angels, and after one of the songs, he opened his eyes and was able to see angels. Ever since he got rid of darkness, he has been able to see light. As he was praying with someone today, the prayer servant spoke to little Caleb (Caleb when he was a child) to say it was not part of him. Caleb was able to see himself as a little kid with Jesus appearing in front of him, and he saw the thing of darkness come and stopped and couldn’t look at Jesus and went away. The prayer servant said, “Go back to where you came from.” Now Caleb (who is 16) knows he doesn’t have to use his humor to cover up the spirit of fear anymore. He will use it for Jesus. Before this time, someone prophesied that he would go into the world and speak to others using creativity. He said he had the mouth of a prophet to prophesy. Tomorrow night he and a friend are giving a word about light and darkness at his church.

Sheldon from Redding

Up to a week ago, Sheldon was lost. He is not sure what you call it, but God set an opportunity for him to do some home thinking time by himself. God ministered to him. He had had a panic attack for the first time in a while. He found a Bible and it started a whirlwind. He had visions of what he is supposed to be doing. The last week has been the most beautiful week he has had. God “ambushed” him unbelievably. He just talked to God all week. Everything has changed. He had neck and back problems for which he just received prayer, and right now he says he “feels like a million dollars.” Also his leg grew out to match the other. God gave him a vision and changed his whole direction. He has had His presence before but not like this. He was really down and gave himself completely to God. Every day is a new experience.

Michelle from Wisconsin

Michelle came for prayer for the beginning of rheumatoid arthritis. When the prayer servant prayed for her broken heart, Michelle saw a picture of the tin man from the Wizard of Oz. She saw a picture of an oil can opening that turned into an IV drip that kept dripping through her body. Michelle was lying on the floor experiencing that, and it was a delightful feeling. Her joints, neck were stuck. She feels very “oozy and warm and wonderful.”

Ellen from Texas

Ellen had some problems with the right side of her body. The prayer servant said there might be something in her church that is not in complete alignment and unity, and that rang a bell. There are, in fact, problems in her church that are concerning her. They prayed for her finger that was numb. Her foot was painful when bent back and now it’s 80% better. She couldn’t put pressure on the palm of her hand. She is feeling better. Her hand can stand pressure now, and her finger is no longer numb.

Tom from Texas

They prayed for Tom’s tinnitis, and he is hearing more clearly. It’s still there a little, but he hears better. He has emphasema, but he is breathing more easily. It started today when he took communion with his wife; he began then to breathe more easily. He has a real peace right now.

Jennifer from Oregon

When she came in, she had severe knee pain. She had a baker’s cyst behind her knee the size of a golf ball and a torn meniscus in her left knee. Every time she stood up or sat down, she had horrible pain. It’s 80% better. She can get up without pain. The cyst is smaller, and she doesn’t even know if it’s there. She had a brain tumor, so she received prayer for her brain, too. Her shoulder is better, too (torn rotator cuff) even though she didn’t receive prayer for it.

Liberty from Washington

She had very bad eyesight. Now she can see at least 50% better. She couldn’t read an exit sign five feet away. Now she can.

Larry from Washington

He had a hip injury from an accident. He was running in the rain and went over a cattle gate and it came off the hinges and his left leg went underneathe and he fell back on it and injured his hip. He received prayer for it elsewhere six months ago, and he had a lot more mobility, but the pain shifted into his lower back, and that pain is gone today. He couldn’t even lift his leg up to get in the car on the passenger side. He can lift his leg now.

Dean from Washington

His hearing is better. He is having a progressive healing.

Randall from Washington

Randall was in the Encounter Room cross-legged on the floor for a half hour. He got up without numbness, which he would normally have had after that, as he says, “at his age.” The stiffness in his neck and shoulder from an injury he had last fall is gone after prayer. The “crunching” sound inside his neck is gone.

Ron from Washington

Ron couldn’t get to the chiropractor on Tuesday. Wednesday the chiropractor said it would be a miracle if he could drive to Redding the 10-hour drive from Tacoma. He made it down with a lot of pain in his back. He could barely get up before, but demonstrated that he could now easily stand up after prayer. His back was out all the time. It went out Saturday. He got stuck in his car one day. His chiropractor is a believer who has only seen one miracle. It will be fun for the chiropractoer to hear his testimony.

Natalie from Sacramento

Natalie came for prayer for MS, weakness in her hands, and lower back pain. Right now her hands feel good; there is no weakness, and her back is not tight anymore.

Nela from Red Bluff

Nela said she was really blessed and felt His presence and felt unforgiveness toward herself lifted off and had peace.

Ray from Oregon

Ray has been dealing with depression since he got his cancer diagnosis. They want him to do chemo and other things. He came expecting God to touch him and his wife. He asked God in the Encounter Room for a fleece about whether to do chemo. God showed him his walk needs to be more righteous. He gave him three areas to work on. He felt like the Lord said that he would not need chemo. When the prayer servant prayed for him, his energy level went through the roof. That was the fleece: that we would have energy.

Sharen from Anderson

Sharen battles pancreatic cancer. She has no more pain in the pancreas or back and believes she has no more cancer.

Carol from Cottonwood

Carol had constant pain in her back and legs (post polio syndrome) since 2007. The pain is gone.

Adriana from Redding

Adriana felt a difference in her back. The worry is gone. The Lord touched her back and the pain is gone.

She was healed of bipolar disorder two months ago. She stopped taking medicine two months ago. The Lord healed her, and she feels great. She lost 20 pounds in the first month after she stopped the meds because the medicine made her gain weight. She got sick when she was 16 and was hospitalized for a month. She moved to the US from Romania when she was 12. The Lord spoke to her today and said He cares and that she is not alone.

Joseph from Sacramento

Joseph had a herniated disc in his back, and he received prayer and his leg is hot right now. His back feels better. He is feeling really good.

Rita from Oregon

Rita’s wrists were healed. There is no more pain.
