1/27/2008: Baby's digestion problems healed

Baby Isaiah's Mom told us...

The Pastor and the healing team came to my grandmothers house. My baby was having intestinal problems and was unable to go to the bathroom and would throw up. The team prayed over him and he immediately began to pass gas. His bowel movements were regular from that point on and he has not had a problem since. We thank God and we give Him all the glory.

1/24/2008: Healings at the High School

Richard L. told us...

Nate and I had a blast last Thursday after school at South Medford High. Nate's been going pretty much every week for a while, so I wanted to join in the fun. We like to go and hang out with the kids after school, and do prophetic and power evangelism.

Last time I went we met a guy who'd been hooked on pain killers because of acute back pain. He'd told us if he stopped taking the pain killers he felt terrible, and his back would hurt too much. So he had to take them every single day, it was basically an addiction. He let us pray for him, and we prayed in Jesus name for his back to be healed, and for the addiction to be broken. When we met him this time, he told us: "Since you prayed for me 2 weeks ago I haven't taken a single pain killer, and my back is healed!". That was a good start, so we praised God and pressed on.

Then we chatted to a group of kids, and started praying for them prophetically. Two were backslidden Christians and one was a wiccan. One of the girls said she had knee pain: Her knee were damaged during a game of baseball a year ago, and the pain was constant ever since. She said the pain was about 5/10. We prayed for her in Jesus name.. But nothing happened, which made some kids laugh. But that's OK.... So we prayed again. This time we felt the presence of God very strongly. She said "that's weird.. it doesn't hurt as much." I asked her if we could pray one more time. This time there was tons of heat on her knee (weird for a cold January day). We commanded the knee to come into alignment with Heaven, and prayed "in Jesus name be healed". Then she flexed her knee: "Oh my gosh... It's totally better. It doesn't hurt at all. Wow!!!" That opened up an amazing opportunity to share Christ with her wiccan friend.

Next we went and stood near one of the exits to the school. A couple of kids let us prophesy over them, which drew a crowd. Then a guy came out of the school on crutches. He'd sprained his knee and it was swollen. Nate started praying for him. One kid shouted "that's not real", but then the kid on crutches felt his knee: "I'm afraid so guys! It's totally better". He then handed me his crutches, rolled up his trouser leg, and took off his knee bandage: No swelling. Nate told him to jump. He started jumping around outside the school. The kids went nuts. We just kept saying "God is real. Jesus is alive, and he loves healing people. He's the same Yesterday, Today and forever."

That caused a Jewish teenager to come over to us. He said "I am Jewish and I don't believe in Jesus. But I have tendinitis in my elbow, and it really hurts. If you heal my elbow in Jesus name then I'll believe in him." So Nate lay hands on his elbow and started praying. After a couple of minutes Nate said "Now stretch out your arm". The guy did so... Felt his elbow... Looked at Nate... Then looked back at his elbow.... Then shouted "Ahh!!!!!" And simply ran away down the street. He was pretty shaken up when he realised he was healed. Nate is still hunting for him to make sure he follows up on his promise!

There were two other healings that afternoon. Right there in front of the school exit, with kids watching from the school bus windows. 5 healings in 1 hour. Every person we prayed for.

The Kingdom of God is here and now!
