Yesterday our team lead, Kristen, woke up with a horrible headache and was not able to make it ministry in the morning because it was so bad. I felt lead to pray for her during the morning and putting my hands on her head but I was so afriad I would hurt her head even worse I did not attempt it. In the afternoon Kristen was able to make it to Riverkids, but she still had a lot of pain. She was sitting in a chair in the nurses’ office and was talking slowley and looked tired. I have prayed over my headaches in the past and they have gone away instantley and so I decided that I should just pray for her and have her headache go away. So I say to her,
“Kristen, I’m pretty good at praying for headaches to go away, can I lay my hands on your head and pray for you?”
“Yeah sure, Katie, thanks.”
I lay my hands on her head and pray for her headache to go away, I pray that God wants us healed from the tops of our heads to the soles of our feet. I’m tired of the headache that is hurting Kristen, she for sure is tired of it, and so it has to go.
I take my hands off her head after the prayer. She stares at me and twists her head to the right, twists her head to the left and stares at me and leans back and smiles.
“My head does not hurt at ALL anymore Katie!”
A few minutes later she looks over at me and is moving her neck side to side and and then exclaims, “Oh my gosh, my neck doesn’t hurt either!!!”
It was great considering she’s raised someone from the dead, and God’s able to take care of her headache through me, I was saying to her, “I have so much hope that I can raise someone from the dead now!”
*Pretty good moment*
Later on Kristen and I are working with Tim and she was talking to him about how I had prayed over her horrible headahce and he mentioned that his head hurt and not only that, but he had quite a bit of stiffness in his neck. Kristen then said, “Well, have Katie pray over it!!” I do pray and lay my hands on his head, and his head stops hurting by the time I take my hands back off two minutes later.
*Whoot whoot*
The team is getting ready to leave Riverkids and Tim comes down and tells Kristen and me that a Cambodian employee named Pheakdei that works in the office with him was talking about how his neck had a lot of pain and was uncomfortable all day. Kristen looks over at me and is like, “C’mon Katie! Lets go pray!”
We go and ask if he is willing for us to pray and have his neck pain to go away. In my head I’m saying to God, “Please show your love to this man.” I pray a short prayer, finish and ask him how it feels, he looks at me politly and says, “Um, not much better.” I say, “Well, can we pray again?” He agrees.
Kristen and I both pray and after he turns his head back and forth and states, “It feeling better!” I asked if all the pain was gone, he said not all the way, but better.
This morning I walked into his office and asked him how his neck was and he starts shaking it around going, “It is all better now!!! Thank you for you prayer.”
I love it when God heals! Please keep the Cambodian people in your prayers that they will have an open heart to recieve healing. And for Pheakdei, that God continues to show love to him in all areas of life.
