IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME, BUT YOU CAN’T DENY THE OUTCOME OF THE FOLLOWING EVENTS.  I BRING THIS TO YOU WITH COMPLETE HUMILITY AND SAY THAT NONE OF THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE WITHOUT THE POWER OF GOD. ALL GLORY AND HONOR BELONGS TO HIM AND HIM ALONE.

Just a few nights ago a squad mate of mine, Bev Rhodes, and I had night duty at the hospital from 8pm- 8am. Bev had approached me about 30 minutes before we left and just wanted to share her heart with me about the night. She told me that Heartlyn was going to be healed tonight. Ever since she first learned that Heartlyn was there the Lord had placed her on her heart. Bev and I went and sat down and prayed protection over our evening of warring on behalf of Heartlyn and for her healing. As Bev was praying I received a vision. Here is the vision: As I placed my hand on Hearlyn’s stomach a demon manifested. I was to cast out the demon and then her healing could take place. The hospital room was surrounded at every entrance and exit with angels of the Lord armed for battle. I was given the authority of God to cast out the demon and heal this daughter of the King.

Rachel came to pick us up. As we got in the back of the car Rachel informed us that they were admitting another baby to the hospital, Chris John. This coming right after Bev and I had asked God to give us a double portion. My idea wasn’t two babies, but I run with what the Lord gives me, and trust completely in His plans and not my own.  

Bev and I each had a child for the night. Bev had Chris John and I had Heartlyn, the two month old daughter that was the result of a love affair. For the first four hours at the hospital I was reluctant to touch Heartlyn’s stomach. I was fearful of facing a demon. How could I, Lindsay Heston, cast out a demon? Surely, the Lord had this confused. I was fearful of even mentioning the name of Lord in the hospital. I was afraid of an outbreak of demon manifestation. One I could handle, but multiple ones: yeah right! Then, I realized I was “I” focused and not God focused. He can do immeasurably more then I can ask or imagine. The power to do this is not my own. It is the power of God, and it is natural. Why are we so put off by the power of the Holy Spirit? (That is a future blog in the making.)

I awoke around midnight after about a 20 minute power nap. Immediately I recalled that midnight and 3am are the demonic hours. (Meaning that the most demonic activity happens at these times.) This was it. I was supposed to put my hand on Heartlyn’s stomach. I was scared of what was going to happen. I gently placed my hand on the sleeping baby’s stomach and began to gently rub it. She slowly began to stir and opened her eyes. Unable to get them open all the way, she just had these tiny slits. The first thing I noticed was that her eyes were completely black. There were no whites to her eyes, just blackness. It wasn’t Heartlyn looking at me. I wasn’t scared. I spoke softly, but with authority, “In the name of Jesus Christ leave this child. You no longer have dominion here.” Heartlyn closed her eyes. For a brief amount of time I questioned whether or not I did it right. I have never cast out a demon before. What if it comes back seven times stronger? What if I have just put the child in more danger then in saving it? Then she opened her eyes again and I saw brightness to them and the whites of her eyes. She was back. The power of the Lord is amazing!

Now that the demon was gone her healing could take place. Up until this point Heartlyn had to be held close to my chest at all times in order to feel safe and secure. At this point I was able to lay her down on my legs and have her fall asleep immediately. Every moment I was awake, which was most of the night, was spent praying for healing over this precious child of God. They weren’t loud prayers. In fact I never audibly uttered one word. They were prayers of healing from my heart, and the Lord heard them, and answered them.  By 6 am Heartlyn was lying on the bench asleep. Completely at rest in the arms of the Lord, I no longer needed to hold her.
Around 6:30-7am the doctor entered and was shocked as she examined each of the children and she even said, “This must be a miracle.” Bev and I just looked at each other and smiled. It was. It was a miracle. Hearlyn who was expected to spend at least a week if not longer in the hospital was going to be going home the next day. They had just planned to keep her to see the outcome of some tests they had done. Chris John was taken off of his oxygen which he had been put on for the entire night. He no longer needed it. Praise be to God!
Both children are now home and surround by love, and given the love of Christ daily.
 

Father we praise you! We honor you the Living God and Emmanuel. Holy be your mighty and powerful name. We thank you for the healing you provided for your children Father. Personally, I want to thank you for teaching me that your power is great that it doesn’t need a big showcasing of fireworks and instantaneous results. There is power in the stillness and in the quiet. Thank you for showing me more of you. Thank you for drawing me closer into intimacy with you. Continue to turn this costly stone daughter into the gold that reflects you.
