Dear Friends,
I want to share a tremendous testimony with those that were not present at this past Sundays 2nd service.
A young lady of 12 years was brought in by her parents and one of our church members Irene Ganz.
She had to be carried in because for the last two months she has suffered from some kind of disease that caused pain all over her body and eluded detection from three different doctors. The past week a sort of paralysis took hold of her legs and she could not walk and seemed stiff as a board.
I was introduced to her and her parents by Irene and promised to pray for her sometime during the service.
During Praise and Worship I asked the Lord " How do you want me to handle this" I was reminded of the training we received under Bro Hagins ministry and at Healing school at Rhema. Teach the Word so as to build faith in the recipients heart and from healing school , create an atmosphere of faith and worship so as to allow the Holy Spirit full reign to move as He desires .
I asked the Worship team to sing a song that has always stirred a healing anointing up "You deserve the Glory" a spirit of worship and reverence swept into the room as the entire congregation seemed to pull together hardly anyone knew of this girls condition. I began to say to the Lord, Father , I am pulling on you like Mary pulled on Jesus at the wedding at Cana.
I then went to the pulpit and began to read and teach from healing scriptures, Exodus 15:26, Isaiah 53, Psalm 103, Matt 8, Mark 5, Mark 15, Etc. You could literally feel faith rise up in the room.
I then proceeded according to the instruction given to us in James 5 Anoint with oil and pray the prayer of Faith. After I anointed her with oil and prayed it didnt seem like anything was different in the natural, but I did instruct her to keep thanking God for healing her because as far as God is concerned it is already done.
I then went on to pray for others and then teach the message the Lord gave me for the day, "Down payments" how everything God gives us is a down payment for the greater thing he wants to do for us in the future [ get the message as soon as you can] it was perfect for this young lady. We had prayed and had Gods word on it By His stripes she was healed I Peter 2:24. This was her down payment on the full manifestation. Throughout the service I would encourage her to trust God and keep thanking Him.
At the end of the teaching we all began to praise God with the music ministry celebrating the down payments in our lives when after less then one minute I heard screams and shouting and turned to see the young lady walking totally on her own with no assistance like nothing ever happened , naturally the congregation came apart at the seams and there was hardly a dry eye in the place. All we could do was cry and worship our awesome heavenly Father. Today there is a healed young lady walking around giving glory to God. When their Doctor called today recommending treatment to start ASAP he was told there is no need any longer Leanna is healed!
Our Faithful Heavenly Father showered us with His glory yesterday to confirm His word and show us His goodness! We are eternally grateful to Him. Rejoice with us as our church will never be the same . I share this with you to bring Glory to our great, compassionate God.
Awed by His Goodness,
Pastor Joe
