Before coming to Africa we were
told in a number of prophecies that God was going to use us to do
such incredible things! We were told that people would be raised from
the dead, great miracles would take place as well as many healings! I
can now say by the power of God, these prophecies have been
fulfilled! We were so excited to hear all this and had such high
expectations for what would happen here. Month one came and gone. A
girl on crutches got healed. Praise God! Month two came and passed.
We achieved even deeper intimacy with the Lord. Still no one raised
from the dead, no great miracles and one healing. We were thankful,
and God was doing a great work through us but why weren’t these
prophecies happening!? Month three: Malawi. Absolutely amazing!
Everywhere the disciples went
health and life broke out. As followers, we are all disciples and so
everywhere we go health and life should break out. This is what
happened in Malawi!
My eyes were opened to see the
Lord daily raise people from the dead right before our eyes. It was
totally different from what we expected it to look like, but it still
took place. During church services we brought breath to dry bones and
through that raised the dead as the Lord spoke through us.
“And
I will put my spirit inside you, and you will come to life. Then I
will put you in your own land. And you will know that I, the Lord,
have spoken and done it,” says the Lord.
Ezekiel 37:14
FROM THE DEAD: CHECK
I think sometimes we get so caught
up in seeing miracles we forget that Salvation is the Greatest
Miracle of them all! Just as they were hungry for the word, the
people were so hungry to hear the gospel and to know Jesus. For ten
days straight, every place we went to, we saw the greatest miracle
take place as we saw hundreds come to know the Lord.
One day, our team fasted as one
accord, so instead of eating lunch with the locals we took the 45
minutes to go to the neighboring town to evangelize. We quick set up
the speakers as the crowd grew bigger. A song or two was sung then
Sarah gave her testimony. It was powerful! Afterwards we asked if
anyone wanted to invite Jesus into their lives. One man, only one,
raised His hand. He came to the front to receive prayer. As Sarah
prayed with him, he told her his story. He was walking for miles and
miles to get to a nearby city. He was going through a difficult time
in his life and was at the end of the road with no hope left. He said
when he was just passing through the town, but was drawn to every
word she said. He told her if God can bring her through her difficult
times, surely he can do the same in his life.
Meanwhile we divided into smaller
groups, men, woman, teens, and children to pray with them quickly and
to see if anyone else was interested in receiving the Lord. There
were a hundred plus teens in my group. I asked them and every single
one of them raised their hand. What a miracle…all on our lunch
break. Praise God!
MIRACLES,
THE GREATEST MIRACLES: CHECK
Lastly, at the end of each service
we would invite people up to be prayed for. No matter what their
concern, we wanted to pray with them. Many struggled in their
marriages, family issues, money, and so on, but the majority of the
people we prayed for physical healings. We prayed for hundreds to be
healed and the Lord healed! A woman was healed from malaria, others
from headaches, backaches, difficulty seeing, leg pain, etc.
CHECK
ever, we’ve realized we truly are DISCIPLES of the Lord God most
high. Health and life did break out wherever we went. We walked in
the Spirit. Furthermore, just as the disciples did, we preached, we
fasted, we baptized people in a river, we encouraged, we prayed for
others and kinda lived our lives as the disciples did in the Bible.
We learned it has nothing to do with us, and absolutely everything do
with Him. All glory, honor and praise to the Lord God Most High. And
we go continously singing His praises! Amen.
