It is hard to describe the kind of day we had. I think I would run out of words and it would all sound like a mission trip cliche, but let me attempt to describe it.
We began the day by visiting the home of an elderly man with Tuberculoisous. They woke him up when he arrived and he came and sat in a chair outside. When I saw him, I thought it may have been better for him to stay inside because he was in obvious pain. We prayed. When we finished his first words were "I can see!" He explained that prior to prayer his vision was misty and he couldn't recognize our faces. After prayer his visions was clear. He also had relief from the pain in his chest. We then prayed for his wife who had pain in her shoulder and her arm and she found a considerable amount of pain relief. We prayed for another elderly gentleman for back pain. We finished and he bent over and tested his back and said "wow it is a miracle" he was amazed that his pain was gone.
From there we went to a church for a program. The church praise team led us in some songs and it was so beautiful and joyful. The team performed the song and dance and they loved it. Andrew gave his testimony again and then Pastor Kim played his saxophone. The people really enjoyed the saxophone. Few if anyone of them have ever heard a saxophone played live.
After the saxophone I called Jasmine up to sing the song "Holy Spirit" by Bryan Torwalt. We sang together and then Pastor Kim began playing his saxophone. After going through the song I began singing spontaneously whatever came to mind. Pastor Kim began improvising on his saxophone and Jasmine followed me. The three of us had never done this together before, but it sounded like we had practiced. I was amazed at how smooth it went.
I preached a message that was not so long. I finished by saying that I was done, but perhaps the Lord was not. We waited for a moment and then I called out does anyone have a problem with their nose. A woman came forward. We later learned that she had had pain in her nose for four years and just the night before had cried out to God in desperation asking him to heal her. The pain completely left her.
There were many other words of knowledge and as people came up and received prayer from the team they got healed. One woman shared that for five years whenever she opened her eyes it felt like needles pricking her eyes. After we prayed for her the pain was completely gone. Another woman and back pain that was almost causing mental problems. The pain completely left her body.
While ministering a word of knowledge came that there was an older woman who lived close to the church was sick. I asked the pastor to ask if there was anyone like this. The people answered that there was indeed a woman who belonged to the church who was sick. After dinner we went to her home. It was a woman who was probably between 70-80 years old. She was carried out of the kitchen and placed in a chair. She was in obvious pain and I thought would probably would have been better if she stayed inside. We learned that she dislocated her hip and was unable to walk. We prayed while the pastor and his wife laid hands on the woman. After they finished praying and we were asking how she was doing, Mula, one of the Kenyan's assisting us, went over to her and told her to get up and walk. While he was doing this I was thinking "What are you doing!" But the woman got up with assistance and began walking! The pastor was holding her hands and he led her walking back into the kitchen she had been carried out of. I laughed at Mula's boldness, and I was amazed that this woman was walking.
When we made it back to the house we had an amazing time of worship. What was going to be a thirty minute time of worship and prayer turned into 2.5 hours. The presence of God was strong and it was one of the most wonderful times of worship I have had in the last two years.
Tomorrow we are going back to the church for two more sessions. I can't wait to see what will happen.
Please pray for energy for tomorrow, so far no one has gotten sick!
Please pray for my voice because it is almost gone.
Please pray God to continue to move in power and for there to be some who are saved.
