How do you explain the unexplainable?
We just got back from a week spent in a village where the small amount of Christians are extremely persecuted and rejected for their faith. The stories and livelihoods of these people we met were hard, yet so soaked with revival and Jesus’s relentless pursuit after each heart. This week was unexplainable. Miracles were seen, the sick were healed, the lame walked, the broken became whole. There are so many stories to share about the glory and love we witnessed falling on that place. Here is a journal entry about one that so radically changed my life, and so many others:
We said “stand up and walk”
And he walked.
Sohan.
We walked into the room and he was there, tiny, crumpled against the wall, eyes wide, desperate.
He was lame, he was born without any ability to walk due to back deformities.
He was broken from the outside in as hopelessness and depression clouded his eyes, his lifeless legs lay so fragilely on the floor.
His mom brought him to us asking for prayer, desperately seeking a miracle in this precious boys life.
We prayed.
Never have I prayed so hard, never have I wanted anything more.
Let me tell you, when 22 girls are praying with their whole hearts those prayers are unstoppable.
Standing over us, his hands embracing Sohan, His presence was so strong as He prayed right alongside us.
Passion, authority, desperation, faith.
We prayed, we prayed so hard.
“In the name of Jesus, you are healed. Stand up and walk.”
Tears falling, hands shaking, we watched as he tenderly stood up.
And he walked.
Straight into his mothers arms, this boy who could not walk, walked.
He was healed right before our eyes, glory fell.
The way we rejoiced cannot come close to how our Papa did.
Sohan, your faith will change this world.
Our ministry contact told us, “welcome to the greatest revival on planet earth.”
That could not be more true. My life is being transformed as I am in the midst of the fire that is bringing life into a country.
Pray for this place, pray for these people. Our God is so alive, so powerful, so so good.
