More miracles. Today was a great day for miracles - I will let Kim tell her story on another posting.
Not everyone we pray for gets healed straight away but today I saw 4 in a row in the Healing Rooms; I was praying with Karen and one of the first people we prayed with needed to be baptised in the Spirit, we prayed for him and he felt the power and joy of God and started speaking in tongues immediately, he left very happy, but this was not the start of the healings that God was about to do.
A lady with a blood clotting disorder had pain in her legs for many years, as we prayed the power of God overcame her, she ended up on the floor and we covered her with a blanket. As she lay there God set her free from some other things and her leg pain improved remarkably.
Next we prayed for a lady with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Reynauds Syndrome - God touched her powerfully and then she realised that her back had been healed. She had lived with this pain for so many years she had not asked us to pray for it, but God healed it anyway.
Then we prayed for a young guy with joint problems (probably the most amazing clicking in his joints I have ever heard, with associated pain) - God set him free from this and the look of amazement on his face is a great memory. He was Happy !!
Lastly we prayed for a young lady who had broken her wrist in Karate a few years ago; it did not heal properly and she had restricted movement with pain. Also for the last 3 months she had swelling, pain and bruising around her thumb and couldn't move it properly. In the encounter room God restored movement to her thumb, and then when we prayed for her we literally watched the swelling and bruising disappear in front of our eyes. The pain left her wrist and she regained full movement, even to the extent of taking her body weight on her wrist. She was struggling to believe it, smiling, laughing and hugging us. Another great memory.
God wants to heal people, and he has no trouble doing it if we will pray simple faith filled prayers, rather than trying to produce the healing ourselves through our own prayer efforts. Faith really does work - because he is an awesome God.
