Healings, signs, and wonders- real testimonies of my personal accounts and experiences

don’t have the much time to write this blog but I want to share some of my experience since I’ve been down here at the revival.  I wish I could share all of it but the length of this blog would be out of control! This is all for the glory of God and His awesome Love.

 

Provision– Within the first 5 minutes of arriving to the revival, not knowing where I would stay, a missionary couple offered for me to stay with them.  I stayed at their house with about 5 other pastors or associate pastors/friends until they had to leave the country.  Before they left they dropped me off at the campground next to the tent where the revival had moved to, they gave me $225 dollars cash, and filled my tent up full of food.  (Thank you Judy, Ken, Becky and the rest of your guys!!)  I have been given in total over $500 cash. (people just walk up and say here the lord told me to give this to you).  I’ve been put in a hotel for free 3 times now spending a total of about 2 weeks in a hotel.  A friend offered to put me up for free for the first 5 days, which just blew me away.  On the day I had my bags packed in a car on my way back to the campground another “friend” offered to put me up for an additional 3 days (thanks Webie), on the day I had my bags packed again waiting on a ride to the campground another friend offered to put me up in a hotel for another 3 days (thanks Linda and Fam).  Guess I should just stop packing my pack =)  The Spiritual provision has been off the scale!  You would not believe the people I have met.  Just the other day I met Brother Andrew’s (from the book ” God Smuggler’) son.  I’ve had numerous people prophecy over me or had words of knowledge, most have been very consistent pertaining to my life, other crazy and cool things that I’ve already heard or things I haven’t.  The people I’ve met has just been ridiculous.  The two/three I want to mention is Terha, William, and Webie.  Terha, William, and I have formed this amazing bond that is truly a gift from the Lord.  We call our selves the “A team.”  Webie is from London and had to fly back home.(MISS YOU WEBIE)  Meeting them was truly a divine appointment- much has followed us in our time together!  There is a whole lot more to our meeting than, “there just cool people I met.” (p.s. I never once asked for money or a place to stay)


Healings, signs, and wonders.–
  I’m only going to be able give about 2 testimonies, there are so so many. I’ll share the good ones =).   I wish I could share them all.  Within the first few days at the campground, I went to pay my camping fees.  I noticed the elderly gentlemen who ran the campground had a very bad speech impediment.  I asked if I could pray for him and his wife.  He said “yes.”  After some prayers and the typical “God Bless You” I left.  The next morning he drove his golf cart, or camp cart, over to my tent full of joy.  He began to speak to me, and I thought “ahh he’s not healed – he’s still stuttering.” But he was so excited, so I asked, “How are you?”  He said, “you prayed for my speech but when you left my trailer my ears popped open!”  I said, “what do you mean your ears popped open, I didn’t know you had problems with your hearing, I didn’t pray for your ears.”  He said “Yes I’ve had bad hearing since I served in Vietnam, but now they are perfect.”  I said, “Praise God, lets pray for your speech and let God heal the rest of you.”  His speech wasn’t healed at that time, so I told him I would pray with him every day I saw him.  And so I have.  His speech is getting more and more clear as the days pass. Praise God. 

As Todd was praying/closing the meeting about a week ago everyone was holding hands.  I was holding hands with Jim (from England- never met him before) who was at my left and with Terha who was at my right.  I started to feel a very very mild anointing on my left hand.  I almost ignored it because it happens so frequently with me.  But I thought this must be for this guy to my left because I don’t feel a thing in my right hand.  Well I introduced myself and we got to talking.  It turned out he had been at the meeting for 10 days and still hadn’t received what he came to get (a baptism of the spirit/fire from God to take back to England) He was so hungry and was leaving in 2 days.  Well I told him I wanted to pray for him, I explained the hand thing and that I believed the Lord wanted to touch him.  So I grabbed both His hands, told him to focus on Jesus, and began to pray.  As I prayed a very strong fire fell on my hands!  I asked him, “do you feel that!!?”  He said “yea its like a magnet or electricity.”  So I kept praying, and it got stronger.  He began to breathe heavenly, shake, and then he fell over all by him self.  I wasn’t expecting it!  Fire was still on my hands, and then I felt an anointing on my head- almost like a helmet.  While he was on the ground I put my hands on him and felt free and lead to prophesy over him.  After I got done prophesying over him there were about five women standing around me who saw what happened.  They wanted to get a touch from the Lord.  The anointing was still on me so I circled them up and began to pray, and they all got touched. (Mind you, during this whole time we are getting kicked out of the tent because the service was over =)  As I was walking out with Webie, we walked by a woman that Webie had a word of knowledge for. We prayed for her and that women got touched.  Then in the car on the way back to the hotel we where riding with an older married couple from Jamaica who now live in England.  I was so full of joy and faith I asked if anyone needed prayer, the women from Jamaica (can’t remember her name) said yes.  She had arthritis and pain in her back.  I was in the front seat and she was in the back seat with her husband.  I held her hand, and as I began to pray in the spirit fire fell on my left hand that she was holding.  It was soooo sooo strong!!! I’ve only felt an anoiting that strong on two other occasions, once in Africa, and the first time the Lord touched me by fire.   Lets just say she got touched and leave it at that =) The anointing followed me that night.  All glory to God in Jesus Name.  Praise you Father.

 
Personal experiences and accounts…. I’ve never “fallen out” in the spirit since I’ve been here, don’t care if I do or don’t right now!  But If I go down I’m going down by the power of God not by a push =) Do I agree with falling out in the spirit? Yes- I think it’s completely biblical and beyond, hope to write on it soon!  If what falls on my hands falls on my body get your camera out because I’m going to fall flat on my face =) While I’m in the meetings the spirit of God touches me in various ways. I get certain Holy Spirit manifestations like fire/electricity on my hands, face and head among other weird and awesome things. (Some of the manifestations of the spirit pertain to someone else) I’ve laughed uncontrollably on 1 or 2 occasions, and I have to admit I never thought it would happen to me.  The Lords presence comes over me like waves of goose bumps from my back to my toes, or just a weighty presence.  I’ve had moments of pure holiness during worship that has just rocked me.  I’ve never been “drunk” in the spirit, again I don’t care if I do or don’t- it’s all gravy.  But anything that’s from God I want! And yes, I think being so consumed with the presence of God and joy can appear as being drunk. I think there is a lot of flesh in the meetings as well as a lot of things that are of God that I just don’t understand. I think there will always be out of 10,000 people. But again it doesn’t matter to me. =) The Lord is moving and your accountable for yourself when it comes to how you glorify the Lord and if your going to be distracted or keep your eyes on Him.  Above all the physical stuff, is the spiritual…Gods voice is so clear!  The peace, joy, and love I have is the most I’ve ever had I think!  God answers my prayers daily!  It’s just, I’m kept you know, by all mighty God!  It’s not about the revival, hype, or Todd- and he says this daily himself!   It’s about intimacy with the Lord, His glory, and His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.  Some days I don’t go to the meetings, I’ll just hang back with the Lord!  I believe there can be a danger for people coming to the revival for an “experience.” Those who do may find themselves as a spectator vs. a participant with the Lord.  But I try not to focus on that stuff, it will always be there, I choose to focus on life and truth.   The Lord is sovereign and good.  God is so big and ridiculous you all!  =)

Hope to write more soon much Love!
