Let me tell you something: living the miraculous is fun! I’m not the same person and won’t ever be the same. Why? Because the miraculous has become reality to me.
I loaded up my Honda Fit last Sunday to begin a journey of faith to Toronto, Canada. As I crossed the border into our northern neighbor’s nation, I sensed I too was crossing into new territory.
I travelled to Toronto to attend Reinhard Bonnke’s School of Evangelism. I applied and received confirmation of my acceptance the following morning. I needed $500 the week before the school and two precious friends supported me financially to go.
My friends, that’s how God operates: He brings forth everything we need to pursue Him. That’s His character, His divine nature. He can’t be anything but the Great I AM.
I drove to an squadmate’s home first the night before the school. What a joy to meet a sweet sister whom I’ll share in this adventure with! (Kira, you and your family are awesome and Papa absolutely blessed me through every one of you Ypmas).
Funny story though: beyond the Ypmas hosting me Sunday, I had no other place to go, no other contacts in Ontario. I drove into Toronto Monday morning with no idea where I’d sleep the rest of the week. But I remained confident that Daddy God led me there to receive something from Bonnke and other forerunners in the faith. Sure enough, after our first two sessions, a woman came up to me as I looked at the host church’s missionary map. She introduced herself and asked what I’d do after the day’s last session and where I was staying. I replied honestly: “I don’t know but I came by faith.” A smile spread across her face. “You’re staying with me this week.”
Boom. Done deal. Everything provided. Week completely covered.
The school itself fed me so much in four days. Reinhard Bonnke, Daniel Kolenda, Todd White, Peter van den Berg, Teresia Wairimu, Dr. Chauncey Crandall and Brent Urbanowicz .. All brothers and a sister ushering in the kingdom of God on earth through simple obedience and love of the Father. The experience fired me up for praying over the sick and expecting Holy Spirit to heal; for believing God to do the miraculous in every situation; for walking with Jesus in faith and declaring the kingdom of heaven wherever I go.
For the first time, I witnessed a miracle: a man’s left leg grow a couple centimeters to match his right leg. He accepted Jesus shortly after we prayed, prophesied and loved on him in Jesus’ name.
Needless to say I’m excited. Brothers and sisters, this is our life as a believer in Jesus Christ! To expect or experience any less is limiting God to what we can comprehend. No one can convince me of anything other than Holy Spirit moving in signs and wonders as His children love people through their Papa’s heart for each individual.
Btdubs, I decided to give this a whirl myself. After running today, I noticed my left hip became sore. I wondered, “I have a suspicion that my legs are different lengths.” I asked the woman I live to measure them out. I sat down and she attested that the left was a bit shorter. We commanded my left leg to grow .. And grow it did!
My legs are now the same length. No more hip issues .. Praise God!
