John and Erica's knees; Just as Jesus was sent, so are we (4.17.10)
Read each word carefully...He's talking about US!!!! YOU and ME!!!!! Rise up, church! There is MORE!!!!!!!
There aren't enough caps, large fonts, italics, and bolded letters to accentuate this message enough...
"4And Jesus replied to them, Go and report to John what you hear and see: 5The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed (by healing) and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the poor have good news (the Gospel) preached to them. 6And blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who takes no offense at Me and finds no cause for stumbling in or through Me and is not hindered from seeing the Truth." Matt 11 (amp) "16They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. 18Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth. 20Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, 21That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me." John 17 (amp) |
God is good! Today we got to pray with several people out at Lewis Park. We met John and Erica, both of whom had their knees healed! Erica's pain decreased from a 7 to a 3 to a 1 and then went away completely. After that, John agreed to receive prayer (he had originally declined), and God healed his knee that has (had!?!) a titanium plate in it. His pain had left, and I told him to do something that he'd been unable to do. He squatted all the way down and stood back up with no help! Both of their injuries had been from their youth. Pray that they find jobs soon, as they have only 3 more days at the Salvation Army. He drives forklifts, etc, and she does cashier work. They have a 7 year-old little girl and need a home.
There are a couple more pretty cool testimonies from today, and from our life group last night, but I hope for others to email them in, in their own words.
"11And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you." Romans 8 (amp)
