Here is a great testimony sent to us by our great friend Bill Dew…
FOLLOW THIS STORY—A KEY TO HEALING
I know I’ve spoken of this before, but we’re seeing it as so important and so effective. Revelation 19:10 says “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy.” It’s not just a nice little story when we tell what Jesus has done—it literally puts into the spiritual atmosphere that which can be duplicated! So, when we tell the stories, if the person needing breakthrough can grab hold of the testimony and say “He’s no respecter of persons, if He did it for them, He can do it for me,” many times we see the healing occur.
THE SET-UP
Follow me on this: I’m standing in front of the congregation in Cali, Colombia several weeks ago. I’m telling the story of praying for a group in Manizales, Colombia the year before, under a time limit. So I had the 30+ put their hands on what hurt. I then said I saw some put their hands on their head, some on their shoulder, some on their hip. Now in Cali, as I was mentioning this, I noticed a woman right in front of me in about the 4th row. She had her arm in a blue sling and as I talked about having the people put their hand on a shoulder if it hurt, her arm starting flapping. I pointed at her and said “You’re getting healed, aren’t you?” I knew she was about to pull her arm out of the sling—and she did. When she raised her arm and started waving it, the 900+ present went ballistic. Now, here’s the point.
THE POINT IS IN THE STORY—A DRAMATIC HEALING!
Ten days later, we went to Davenport, Iowa to minister in a church. When we walked into this church we had never been to before, I noticed a woman with a badge on, like she was in some official capacity—and she had her arm in a blue sling. Many times the Lord uses similar things to speak to us. I had just seen this healed—I have faith for this! And, Psalm 34:7 was coming true—“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” When I first saw her, my heart just went out to her—this just wasn’t right, it was illegal in the Kingdom! Toward the end of the morning service, I called her out and asked if we could pray for her, and she said yes. She explained she had torn her rotator cuff a year before in a fall down some steps, had bone spurs and some other complications. She had surgery 3 weeks before, would have to endure 3 months of physical therapy, and she was still in so much pain she said, “just don’t touch me when you pray.” I had several people I had prophesied and prayed over help me and we basically just prayed around her for about a minute. She had already taken her arm out of the sling and demonstrated her lack of mobility and where the pain would start, so we knew we would have a gauge. I asked her if it was any better and if she could now do something she couldn’t before. When she put her arm straight up, the place went ballistic—sound familiar? WOW, WOW, WOW!
God just continues to amaze us, and we want to continue to be like the little kid in the candy store---wow, God, soooo cool! Next, God gets the opportunity to wow us in Brazil, as we lead a 2 week Global Awakening trip, with Randy Clark coming to join us for the last part of the trip. Be blessed.
