More Evidence!

I noted several healings in my last blog and put down what I could remember so I could publish.  I thought I would add some others as I remembered. Yes I know I should have taken better notes. LOL. I get so caught up in seeing God touch lives that I forget everything else.

One lady had come to the meeting with some kind of rash on her neck, arms, chest. Right there in the meetings the rash went away entirely! I love seeing God do something like this because it is so obvious to everyone there. You can’t make this kind of thing up. She was so thrilled to be free from something that had been bothering her for some time.

It was also amazing to see the team talk about their times ministering to the people as they would go out to different works. There are 7 churches that have been started in smaller towns within a 2 hour driving distance from the city of Merida. We sent the team of 6 out two by two on separate evenings to three churches each night where they were to do the ministry. The same thing Jesus did with his disciples! And how God used them all mightily in each place. In one place they gave an invitation to know Jesus as savior and 50 people(half the people present!) raised their hands!! Most probably came by invitation for a special evening.

Each night the group would return with stories of how the grace of God touched people’s lives and you could tell they were changed never to be the same again. There is something about seeing the power of God work through you towards others and seeing the transforming power of Christ at work. You are changed! Your salvation deepens and your love for God becomes more genuine and real. Our God IS alive and there are many proofs of His presence.

God’s Grace At Work

Recently I made a trip to the Yucatan, Mexico. To be more precise I went to the city of Merida. A group of 6 joined me from our home church, Lifepoint Church in Tallahassee. It was a powerful trip from beginning to end. The people that went with me were such an awesome help and servants that were willing to do whatever was at hand. They left a lasting testimony of how the body of Christ is called to serve others.

Several notable healings took place and I am sure many more testimonies will be heard over time. One woman stood and said that she had been healed a year ago on another trip I had made but was too timid to share it!! She had a fractured spine and used a back brace and medication for the pain. But God touched her and brought instant healing to where she stopped using both the brace and the medication. Awesome!!

But I am getting ahead of myself. I know how Jesus felt every time He touched a person and brought help through healing or deliverance into their life. Eleven year old Genesis(that is her name) came up front after the service the first night with her dad and was crying. I asked her what was going on. I thought they came up for prayer. But the father said that she was healed during the meeting. “What happened?”, I asked. And they began to tell me that because of the use of forceps at birth her right arm had a permanent injury which limited her use of it. She could not lift it higher than chest high and could not grip things even like shaking a hand. God miraculously healed her! She began lifting her arm over her head and swinging it around as tears(now mine included) were running down her face!!

Another woman had come to the meeting with a great deal of swelling in her ankles and one foot. She actually couldn’t stand on one leg because of the pain. Well that changed as she stood in front of everyone pushing down on both feet and showing us that all the swelling had disappeared!!

During another meeting I remember mentioning to the people that God was healing them even as we were doing other things. One lady stood after and said that when she heard that it wasn’t but a few seconds that her digestive system began to move around. She said it felt like she was being given a replacement for the one she had!! She noted a remarkable change. You see she had digestive issues since she was a young girl and just lived with it for about the last 30 years!!

I was so excited to see many backs healed in the services. People visibly doing things they were not able to do before that moment because of pain or other ailments. Many healings of all kinds were taking place. We are waiting for the evidence to come back after check ups and/or time. What an awesome God of compassion we serve. You know I can’t explain why everyone is not healed but I do know one thing. I am going to celebrate the ones that are and keep praying for all the rest. There was definitely a greater number of remarkable and visible healings on this trip. Let’s press in towards the grace of God and continue to believe that He will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or think. I trust these few testimonies bless you and give you increased faith in God working for you. I believe HE will bless you!!
