Buenas,
I just wanted to encourage you with another story of what God has been doing in Kansas City. This happened about a month ago and is from the perspective of my friend, Michael. He wrote the account of this story on his blog, so I decided to just copy and paste what he originally posted. Hope y'all enjoy.
Last Thursday, JD, Ashley, and I went over to a local gathering (simple church) just down the road. The two folks that basically make it happen are named Doug and Michelle. They are awesome! In total, there were about 15 kids there and it was very obvious that Doug and Michelle were like a big spiritual Mama and Papa to them. It was awesome to see how they nurtured the Body of Christ in that way.
JD brought over
Furious Love, and we watched that. While the movie was playing, I was silently talking to God, wondering what to do after the film. As far as I knew, nobody in the group had ever had any exposure to the Kingdom-stuff. So I knew their reactions would be interesting.
After the film, one of the girls approached Doug and said something of the effect that she felt like they should all pray. I took this as an opportunity and told Doug that we regularly see people healed and God show up and perform miracles, and that we could do that tonight. I was beginning to ask Doug if he'd be okay with that, and one of the girls in the group (Doug's daughter) approached me and asked about us doing the miracle-stuff. Before she could get another sentence out of her mouth, she began to cry and said that she had been doubting God.
I knew at that moment we had entered into something divine. JD asked her to sit in a chair so we could all lay hands on her and pray. As we prayed, Ashley began to prophesy over her. I don't remember it all, but Ashley said that God thought she was adorable, and loved her creativity, and Ashley could see her painting and Jesus helping her. The girl began to cry harder and said that she was just painting the night before! Boom, Ashley nailed it!
After that, I figured we could just ask God to grow a leg out so everyone could watch and be encouraged. I asked if anyone had back problems and guess who did… yup, the girl. We checked her legs and one was about an inch and a half short – she had bad scoliosis. We prayed, and God grew it out (thank You Papa!).
After that, Michelle took her into the bathroom and they checked her spine. She said it was waaay different.
Praise God! He's so good! He'll just show up and love on anybody. It's so amazing. Time after time God is faithful.
