healing

We learning all kinds of things these days...

What it means to be led by the Spirit in everything we do and how to pray with faith that God hears and will move on our behalf.  Every home we step into we’re asking people if we can pray for them, if they know Jesus, and if they’d like to study the Bible more.  In homes where we’ve made a solid relational connection we set up times to come back and visit again.  We’ve got loads of Bible studies set up and meetings with people who want to hear more about Jesus. 

Healings!

On Friday, we began to see God healing folks right and left.  In the morning, Sean, Amanda, Lindsay and a local missionary named Ana were without an interpreter.  They asked God to lead them to someone who spoke English.  A minute later as they rounded the corner of a tiny “shop,” a young man named TJ called out to them in English, asking if they were lost and needed help.  “You speak English?  Do you want to help us translate?”  We managed to convince him to come along, and he helped us talk to several people.  Eventually he led us to a house of an older man who had a limp and had walked with a cane for at least ten years or more.  We laid hands on the man and prayed in faith.  He said his foot felt very warm, we told him to get up and try walking around.  He could walk just fine with no cane!  His nurses from the local clinic were also visiting at the time, and they were freaking out!  “I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it,” they kept saying.  TJ was freaking out too!! 

Later, a few guys from the Norman team saw a woman’s shoulder get healed and another woman’s foot get healed, as well.  Everywhere we’re going we’re spreading the stories that God is in Masi and healing people!!

Chris, Kevin, and Isaiah also prayed for a woman with womb cancer.  Although its an internal  disease and they couldn’t tell officially if she was healed, there was sweat pouring out of the woman after they prayed and the guys felt strongly that she’d been healed.
