Lost chances

I missed two words of knowledge today, but I'm pressing on. Praise the Lord!

Church on Fire!

So I am walking through the church and God allowed me to see a visions of angels in the church. Its like all of heaven was overjoyed at what was to happen next. Before I may have seen miracle ministry as bland and unimportnat but this really opened my eyes that this is the Fathers work and gives him great joy.

So here what happened: I got two prophetic words for 2 young girls there. The first wasn't fully developed and I didn't sense an opening when I approached the first girl so I did not bother to share it.

The second girl was a teenage mother and the word was well received.

I then approached the woman withe pain in her side. I prayed for her briefly and simply. I asked her if she felt anything like heat or cold. She told me that she felt heat and I pronounced that she would be completely healed shortly. I too felt a manifestation in my hands. I approached her a few minutes later and she said that all the pain was gone. BOOM!

I also prayed for the man with diabetes and the amputated foot. But there was nothing noted, although I didn't ask.

There were a few other words I got and people I prayed for but I never got around to it. I dunno if I felt tired, drained, satisfied or just plain lazy.

As we were leaving the church a man approached us begging for money saying he had a mental illness. I had meant to talk to him and pray for him and his healing/deliverance, but for some reason I never got around to it. Either I didn't see him or I forgot or something. I was real disappointed because I know it would be so easy for God to heal.

So much to do so little time.

The Ones that got away

Yesterday I missed a chance to pray for a young lady who was using a walker at a hospital that I was visiting. Even though we crossed paths twice I never approached her or prayed for her. It sucks, yes I know.

Today I'm in a rural church and I could tell that the place was bursting at the seams , full of the miracles that God wanted to do.

My first victim was a lady I saw wincing in pain as she was walking. I offered to pray for her but she was busy doing errands for her pastor and said not now in a while. I saw her again a few minutes later and she was concerned about the pastor wanting to start the service at that time so I could not pray for her then either. During the service I was led to pray for her healing and when I approached her in the meet and greet section, after much prodding she did say that she felt better and asked if I had to do anything with it. I said it wasn't me but God. She then said she would take some aspirin. Oh well.

Next!
There was a gentleman who looked to me as if had lots of 'friends' traveling with him. I approached him and spoke a bit and after noticing a cane. He said that he had diabetes and amputated a part of his foot. I was a bit overwhelmed and didn't pray for him. Afterwards the Lord counseled me and built my faith to pray for him and to expect a miracle. He is still here so we will see what's up. More later. God bless.

Faith and Healing

I really need to find out the relationship between faith and healing.
 
Todd White says that His faith can trump anyones unbelief for thsoe he prays for and he regularly demonstrates this.
 
Curry Blake says a similar thing that we can have faith for others so even when their faith is weak, as long as we believe than healing will occur.
 
But What does the bible say?
 
Jesus asked if you believe that He could do a miracle.
 
Jesus often said "According to your faith be it unto you" and "your faith has made you whole".
 
Paul saw that a cripple had faith to be healed and raised him up.
 
Yet Peter and John healed the beggar at the temple who had no faith.
 
Jesus raised a young man from the dead as he was in a funeral procession. who had the faith there? Only Jesus.
 
The father of the epileptic child had some serious doubts ("if you can "), but Jesus adressed those doubts and the father cried out to Jesus to help him overcome his unbelief.
 
My experience is similiar. In two recent case while prayin with Christians, I saw the interaction between faith and unbelief.
 
I was praying for one person , and they had great faith at the time and they got healed. However a little later the sickness returned. You see she had serious doubts about healing and a lot of wrong doctrine concerning healing. I gave her some material that addressed her doubts and in no time she was healed and maintained her healing.
 
Another reccent case, achristian had a long standing condition. She had several reservations, fears, doubts, blocks etc, so she was not open to ministry previously.
 
However in a moment of desperation she said that she absolutely believed that God would heal her. We prayed and God answered and began a progressive / gradual healing. She was open at first but then was fearful at how fast the healing was going. Later on that day when I followed up on her, she said nothing much had changed since we last spoke. But at this time she started wavering and doubting, talking about Gods time is not our time and not willing to deal with unbelief.
 
I fully believe that God was willing and able to heal her completely but by her refusing to address her doubts, her healing was only partial. The hurts and pain, guilt and condemnation she had felt from being prayed for on numerous ocassions in the past prevented her from receiving her miracle.

The Deaf Hear! For real..

Remember I told you about a week ago how I prayed for a deaf friend and it seemed like nothing happened?

Well I ran into him today and we were just catching up and chilling outside a bar. I saw him rocking like to music, so I asked him if he could hear it. He said yes, he could hear a little now, mostly loud noises. Praise God!! The deaf hear! God is faithful to his word! I am so encouraged.

And as I was writing this the Holy Spirit reminded me that I have seen blind eyes being opened too a couple times recently. I had ignored them because they were partial healings, either only partial blindness being healed or complete blindness being partially healed. But anyway you look on it, blindness was healed.

So the deaf do hear and the blind do see. This is sooo encouraging and its motivating me to press in even more, to pray for more sick people and the blind and deaf too anywhere I see them until I see complete healing and consistency in healing of those conditions.

As an update on that same day I saw another partial healing of deafness this time online.

Yay God!!!!

Awesome!

Thank you Lord!!!
