The Power of the Prince of Peace




Originally posted by Jason McCoy on Facebook - republished with author's permission.

Got back from the ER just a bit ago...helping a man who had been in a car accident. When I arrived, the man was very disoriented and very hostile. He was yelling and demanding they let him go home...there were nurses and a doctor there who were intimating he was going to be committed. I wasn't able to pray for him directly because of all the conversation and agitation going on, so just prayed in tongues and released my peace into the room.

The doctors called security and a big dude came in the room. For some reason, they all left for a moment and as I took the man's hands and commanded the life of Christ to fill him and transform his body and mind, he became peaceful. As the medical folks returned to tell him he would be committed, I continued to release peace into him and into the room. The security guy looked ready for action...but then the atmosphere shifted and everything was quiet and peaceful. The man layed down in the bed! His sister left to get him a drink and everyone else mysteriously left as well. I continued praying in the spirit for him and he went to sleep!

As he rested, I commanded demonic spirits to leave him and he would flinch, moan and sigh. When his sister returned, she commented that his coloring had changed and I realized he had been very yellow but now was totally normal! He continued to rest peacefully.

This struck me because Jesus gave us power to not only rescue the prisoners and to heal, but to change environments and I was impacted tonight by how much it made a difference. At first, I was frustrated I couldn't pray directly for him but as I focused on changing the environment, it really did. There were moments at first where I felt I may end up in the midst of a melee, but it was so potent to simply be confident/ able to rest in what Jesus had already provided for this man and to release it instead of having to work at it. It's hard to explain, but I feel a shift has taken place in me and I'm excited to continue to grow in this kind of confidence/rest. (and I'm very glad for this man to be at peace right now, free from such torment). It really was a wonderful thing to be a part of.

The Prince of Peace kicked out the tormentor!

Jason McCoy Testimonies - Part 2





This story was submitted by my friend Jason McCoy

About a week ago, we got a call from friends. Their son was injured and couldn’t run. He is a state champion cross country runner and about to finish his high school competing...now sidelined. Severe pain. Some kind of injury in his gluteus muscles. We prayed and he felt some relief. We declared he would run in the race that week (the one his doctor said he couldn’t run in!) We told him that even if he feels any pain- tell it NO, command it to GO and hammer it with scriptures like the above. He ran and we got an email describing more pain. We reminded him how to fight. The next email we got said he not only won his race, he won by 30 seconds!

In the article written about the race, it says “I can only say that God was in that,” said Spencer, who crossed the finish line in 16:08. “I honestly have no other explanation. I’ve been running no more than two miles a day for the past two weeks, and no hard training whatsoever. I came here not knowing if I was going to be able to run, let alone winning by a considerable margin. That came out of nowhere. I was just amazed. I felt a little bit of pain, but the more I ran, the harder I could push it,” Spencer said. “It kept hurting more and more, but I could just keep going. I don’t know what it was. It was a strength I’ve never felt before.”

This week, the newspaper wrote about him again. He competes for the state title this year, and his coach said “Somehow, he’s maintained the conditioning he had before [the injury].”

Well, we know how he did it!

2 Cor 2:14 Now thanks be to God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the aroma of his knowledge by us in every place.

Jason McCoy Testimony - Part 1




This testimony was submitted by my friend Jason McCoy.

There was a high school football player who had injured his knee. I don’t ask a lot of medical info but I think he had torn his meniscus or damaged the ACL?? He was going to be out for the rest of the football season. I went to pray for him on a Sunday night at his church before his youth group meeting. I explained how God’s LIFE is in us and we can transfer it to others to transform them.

As I put my hand on his knee, I commanded the pain to go and the knee to be made new and he reported greater freedom in mobility and less pain. I explained that we could either choose to stand in that and rest in Mark 16 that when believers lay their hands on the sick , they will recover. The other choice would be to keep commanding it to be well until it was fully healed. I wanted to go for complete healing RIGHT NOW! So I commanded it again and told him to put weight on it and move around.

It’s funny how underwhelmed and flat people often are when they are healed! I think his mind was blown. Ha ha! God has a way of doing that! I declared that not only was his knee totally restored, but he would play in the football game that week! The room became tense and awkward, but I stood on what I had declared and told him to let me know how it went. Next weekend, I heard that not only did he get to practice that week, but he played in the game when he had been given medical advice that he was out for the season!

With God, NOTHING is impossible! Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
