More Paralysis Gone! (6.20.10)

10:23 PM Posted by Unknown

Yesterday we went to MD Anderson to pray for a friend and also to back to TIRR to continue prayer for Alayna.  (Please refer below if you missed the first testimony about her and Sabrina.)  When we arrived, we got a wonderful surprise...Sabrina was out on a day pass because she was WALKING!!  The doctors said otherwise, but Jesus has healed, and they are releasing her!!  We were leaving just when she and her family were returning from her day pass, and all of them were beaming and smiling from ear to ear...it was wonderful!!!  Jesus is being glorified on the 5th floor of TIRR!!!!

We prayed for Alayna again, namely for her right knee and upper right leg, for swelling in her upper spine, and for movement in her hands.  Because of the way she was positioned, the focus was unintentionally on her left hand, ie, that was the one we happened to be touching more.  This morning, Destiny emailed me this update: 

"After Amanda, Johnny, and I prayed for Alayna yesterday, I got a great phone call this morning!!!  We did a run through prayer on her parts that are not functioning, but we focused more on healing her hands.  Well, her left one is moving this morning!!!  Sherri started crying heavily and thanking Jesus!  She said also that Alayna's spinal cord is not as swollen and the pain in her knees is still gone!  Thank You Jesus!!  You are so good!!!"
We were able to pray for several others at MDA and TIRR and anxiously await the testimonies of their healing.  Please pray for Harold & Lydia (cancer) and for Justin, Miles, & Sergio (paralysis).   God, thank You ahead of time!!!!  Be praised!

Alayna and Sabrina's praises (6.16.10)

11:12 AM Posted by Unknown

Good afternoon all!  I wanted to share some weekend activity with you.  Destiny just forwarded an update, which is below, but first a little preface.

Destiny's good friend Sherri's daughter Alayna had an accident a couple of weeks ago that had paralyzed her legs, hands, ab muscles, amongst others.  The circulation of veins in her spinal cord had been cut off.  She needed an overhaul.  She is only 10 years old! Destiny was able to pray with her a few days after the accident, and saw improved movement as she prayed.  A group of us planned to go pray again last weekend...to administer another dose from the true Healer!  So Kevin, Julie, Destiny and I drove downtown to TIRR.  During the hour that we prayed and worshiped there in her hospital room, she began to move her arms and legs in ways that she hadn't been able to yet.  In fact, while we were singing 'Healer', Alayna could feel sensations in the affected section of her spine and said she felt like someone was queezing her right leg (the most affected one).  The coolest part was that toward the end when we were praying for her mom, Alayna was so full of joy and excitement and was just wiggling in her bed.  She kept giggling and saying that she felt like she was being tickled.  And then she sat up!  All by herself, for the first time since the accident, she used her abdominal muscles to sit up...and this from a position where her feet had been inclined. That's hard enough to do with healthy abs!  

Well, this whole time, Sabrina and her mom Diana, neither of whom we'd met yet, had been on the other side of the curtain in the shared room.  Before leaving, we stepped around to ask if we could pray for her.  We were told that the two main problems were being unable to use the restroom and unable to control the left leg.  During a short time of prayer, she lifted her left leg for the first time since being there!  

And now, check out this report from Destiny! : 
 
"I got a call from Sherri yesterday [Sunday, the day after we prayed with them]. She said there was MAJOR activity in Alayna's right leg! She is lifting it up and holding it. Major breakthrough! She was requesting us to pray for her hands again. And Julie, because you kept saying do not receive the negative words by others to Sherri a few times. She really noticed it and she was able to recognize and immediately stop those lies yesterday!!! Rock on Jesus!!!

Also the girl next door to her [Sabrina] reported that she was able to use the bathroom for the first time yesterday!!! Go God!!!!

Thank You Jesus!! You are GOOD!!! Blessings everyone! Ttyl..."

Pretty awesome, huh?  We also prayed for a few others briefly...wish we'd had hours with each.  I look forward to going back.

Village saved because Jesus healed (6.6.10)

Yes, we did have some physical healings this week, praise God!!  Just today Tammy's knees were healed at church and Beth's bell's palsy (sp?) (diagnosed in her face this week) began to be reversed, with evidence beginning in her right nasal passage and in her speech....also my cousin's mom's colon problems improved, and we overcame several cases of nausea.  But what thrills me right now is the number of people who received emotional healing!  Several people had physical symptoms which, during prayer, the Holy Spirit revealed were rooted in stress, unforgiveness, worry fear...and the like.  God tells us to 'cast all our cares on Him', and that literally means 'to fling' them away from us, to Him.  When we carry things we're not supposed to carry, they sometimes have negative physical effects on our bodies.  When we give them to God, the hindrance to healing is gone because the root is gone.  I love my God, who wants to carry all of my burdens and free me to dance like a child and spend my days loving Him and loving people!  What a wonderful Savior and a wonderful life!!

Check this out:


This is a video of a village accepting Jesus one by one because He healed them.  He healed them, then they believed on Him, then a pastor was assigned to preach to them...  Much easier depending on His power than trying to orchestrate our best resources and efforts and words.

Chuck's leg healed, and others (6.1.10)

Praise God, we had lots of aches and pains gone this week (Paddy's back, Jaime's abdomen, Stormy's head...more that I can't remember)...some immediate, one we prayed through for an hour before breakthrough. There are probably many that we probably could have had breakthrough in if we had persevered as with that one... We also have many long distance more 'major' sicknesses that we will have to wait and see on.  We actually had our dog healed also!  Bodie used to cough like he was hacking up a lung, and he would just fall over whenever he would get too excited.  Johnny and I and Pastor Dale (who'd just had his dog healed also!) prayed for him...and Bodie doesn't do any of that anymore!  God said if two of us agree on anything, it will be done...He loves to bless us!  (Yes, I know dogs aren't under the blood covenant...)

Keep sending your testimonies...if you trusted God for your headache or allergies...anything, please let us hear about it!  Check out this awesome testimony from Chuck and Becky...!

Amanda,
 
Here's a testimony from me of a healing last Saturday evening.
 
I was out at our pool and I stepped off the edge accidently, falling on the edge of the pool, hitting just below my hip on the side of my leg.  Immmediate severe swelling occured with a small amount of pain.  After 30 minutes of just resting in a chair, I found that I could not lift and move the leg at all.  I could not walk or put any weight on it.  I decided I better go to the emergency room.  I now needed the help of my wife Becky and another friend Denise to even get up out of the chair and into the car.  After just a couple steps being totally supported by them both, using them as crutches, I totally passed out for 15 seconds from the pain.  After coming to and stabilizing on the patio several minutes, Becky and Denise laid hands on the leg and prayed.  We then got into the car and left for the emergency room.  Half way there I moved my leg for some reason and noticed no pain.  I moved it again in a way I definitely could not do before and still no pain.  I continued testing it as we got closer to the emergency room.  Upon arriving and parking, I got out of the car by myself, put my full weight on the leg and walked around, with no pain!  We called it healed at this point, left, and went out to dinner!!!!  Following that Saturday, my leg still has a lot of bruising from hip to knee, but no pain, and full motion and use.  It was a miraculous healing!
 
Chuck

Friends, this is must 'hear':

Being Aware of His Presence, Bill Johnson

10 minutes...Watch This!!!!  (Before you read my lengthy discourse below:)
___________________________________________________________________

Weeks ago at the DiMichele's we were praying for two people, one suffering from an aneurism (sp?) in a hospital room, and another suffering from a myriad of emotional/spiritual problems in a hotel room.  We prayed that whoever was there, in that hospital and hotel, who hears God's voice and knows how to minister healing and deliverance, would hear and do so.  As we prayed that, I sensed that the Lord was showing us what He's doing right now in our time.  (This was just a glimpse of people 'stationed' in these two places that simply heard His voice to go minister to these ones in their vicinity.  That's all I saw, but as I thought about it, there's more...)  It is that the church that He is awakening currently is being put into position (like an underground matrix), specifically in every establishment in America, a minimum of one anointed person in every establishment who will listen to His voice, act on His word, and bring about His will in power as required per activity in each place...this is for the purpose of rescue and restoration.  He is aligning kingdom resources and personnel so that when America sees the brunt of its reaping of rebellion sown throughout its life, the harvesters will be in the field...children of deep roots who will be divinely protected (Ps 91) and capable of receiving and distributing supernatural first-aid and provision to the weary.  (from scripture - faith seed having grown into the tree that provides shelter, the well-watered spring overflowing to the many...)  But for now, hearing His voice to go pray for the man with the aneurism and the broken-hearted lost one. 

(The above paragraph was what God showed me...everything below is just my elaboration)
This is why we must begin now to see ourselves truly as ambassadors of another kingdom, to live FROM God rather than FOR Him.  I do think that America will soon be not what we've known, and I do believe that as a nation, it has stepped out from under God's umbrella, because it's lost it's first love and has sown to the flesh.  However, God knows how to save even one from the many, and right now is the time to recognize how that will happen.  Lot had to listen.  Noah had to listen.  They had to, even before the rains came, do that which was uncomfortable and even unreasonable.  They had to recognize the time they were in and let God deliver them in His own way...and it required something on their part.  It required something on their part!  He did not, in His sovereignty, scoop them out of their normal day to day life...no, they had to act on faith.  Friends, we cannot live our clean lives and wait on the rapture.  We must transfer our weight from the natural to the supernatural in every area.  Every decision and action must be from a revelation from the Father, not from what works for others, what we've always done, or even from other's revelations.  Our natural resources are slipping away, and God has an abundant supply for those who will receive by faith from His hand.  

Provision will not come from a shift in politics.  Seek first His kingdom (the one Jesus brought with Him...it is here, in you; do you operate in it?) and His righteousness (that given to you by faith)...your resources are in that kingdom...all needs are met in that kingdom.  Our lives must be solely in Christ and in His finished work.  We must minister to others like Paul did, out of the power that comes from His resurrection.  When Christ (not goodness, not Christianity, not Christian activities, not Christian values...)...when Christ is lifted up, He draws all men unto Himself.  

We must see ourselves as strategically positioned ambassadors of His will and purpose wherever we are...  There is not one problem that comes into our or others' lives that God has not previously provided a solution to.  Not one.  And when those problems and fears arise, we must do as Peter and John did...recognize what we have (according to the riches in heaven) and give it away.  

The promises of God are real substance that can be appropriated.  How?  By faith.  There is the unseen, then there isfaith in action, and then there is the seen.  In that order.  Yes, you will look fanatical, and you're gonna have to get over that.  We've only begun this new life, and it is definitely an 'adjustment' to say the least.  But I see how it's supposed to be, what's possible, and though we've only walked in an nth of it personally, it's so wonderful that there's no turning back.  These help: "In any given moment, be more aware of Christ than of yourself." and "It's easy to say 'no' (in this case, to fear of failure and fear of people's perception) when you recognize a bigger 'yes'."  So one of the greatest pursuits for us now is of the Father Himself, to know Him and to be able to recognize His tangible Presence and the indescribable peace and glory of Him.  It's easier to present what and Who we're aware of.  This is what it's all about.
