Well, I never cease to be amazed at how God works. Our time near Cape Girardeau was glorious, but not how we expected it.
First of all, we were going to pray for two year old Katy who needs a new heart. Things mushroomed from there to ministering at a beautiful retreat center in Millersville, MO to a mixed audience of Charismatics, Methodists, Lutheran and Baptists. The Lord revealed that Katy's entire family needed a healing first...they had been torn in many directions because of Katy's illness and the coping mechanisms that had been put in place. It's a lovely family of five...wonderful Dad and husband who is caught up in Lutheranism and the liturgical process and a charismatic mom who has stood fast for Katy's healing since day one. The boys at age 6 and 7 are precious. We prayed for them as a family and for Katy as well. Seven year old Parker moved out in faith and joined us as we prayed for more than 40 individuals with a variety of ailments. It was Parker's night....he got a dose of what God has called him to do inthe Kingdom. It was quite awesome how he worked beside us and added his agreement for healing. He told his mother that he would never be the same...that night he had been changed forever.
Well, we didn't see the manifestation of Katy's healing, but there's so much more to this story. Katy has brought hundreds, perhaps thousands of people - - from all walks of life - -together in praying for her health. Katy's Sunday School teacher contacted us to come pray, and then it became a group of perhaps 100 or more who came for the healing meeting on Saturday evening.
We saw healings: young teenager healed of scoliosis who could 'feel her spine straightening". then she joined us in praying for her grandparents...one with COPD and the other with lumbar issues. Another who was scheduled for surgery on her knees...she had no cartilege...was able to bow on her knees before the Lord...a task she had not been able to do for years. Another with heart flutter was healed and breathing well....backs, feet, diabetes, leg growing out to be even with the other, ears, myopic eyes, the list went on. We did not see victory for limbs growing out from where there had been none nor did we see a straightening of atrophied limbs, but there were those who shared that they felt tingling sensations and heat in the areas and felt pain go away. .
Sunday morning the Lord led us to speak on the spoken word...cursing or blessing. And, we led people through repentence for anger or ought against another. Many couples came forward for prayer, extra blessing and strengthening of the marriage.
It was a wonderful time...a time when we connected with so many fellow believers and offerred them a word of knowledge and/or encouragement. Thanks to Ron and Pat Inkenbrant for the use of their retreat center....and thanks to Cody and his praise team for true Zadok worship.
