Atheist Gives His Life To Christ In a Pub



If you've been following this blog, you're probably familiar with Pete Cabrera Jr.' Last week Pete, Tom Fischer, Brotha Ruff, Jaren Barnes and Robert Taylor met in the U.K. for a street healing adventure where they demonstrated and taught on the power of God. They found themselves in a pub talking with a man who was an atheist. Pete led him to Jesus after growing his leg out....a few times.

One of these days I need to try it, too.

Be blessed!

The Collapse of Canada's Health Care System







You read that right.


And I know what you're thinking....


"Impossible"



On the night of April 15th, (tax day in the US) I had a dream in which Canada's very successful and highly popular public health care system failed.

Patients tried to visit doctors and get prescriptions filled, but they were turned away because there was no money to support the system. I don't recall exactly how the bankruptcy occurred, but I knew the system had run out of money. People contacted the government and complained, but the government denied there was a problem.

In the dream, I knew the government was aware of the problem, but they feared the consequences of admitting to a failure, so they lied to the public about it for as long as they could.

I've been having more dreams like this lately, where I see the catastrophic failure of large organizations. This one is related to medicine so I posted it here. I think there may also be a connection to healing.

What would we do for the sick if a national system of health care failed?

Does the Canadian government have a backup plan if such a thing were to occur?

I wonder if the citizens would be ready to use divine healing in place of conventional medicine if there were no other alternatives.

Maybe this dream was a warning to get them prepared before it happens.

I know it's a call to prayer. Let God direct you on how to pray in the matter.

- peace

Sticking Pennies To The Wall










Last night I went with my wife to the hair salon. I’ve gone with her many times before and when I do, God usually does something cool. Last night He came through again.

As Angie worked on my wife’s hair, I shared with her some of the things God’s been doing with us. Angie has been healed a number of times when we’ve prayed with her in the past. (Go here for one of those stories)

She talks often about her 8 year old son, whom we’ve never met. Last night, while mom did her thing, he sat on a chair near me playing a video game.

My friend, Michael King has been posting videos on Facebook demonstrating how to stick coins to the wall. I haven’t done this much, but we had one experience a few months ago, where a friend’s daughters taught us how to do it.

We went to my friend Tim’s house to get him healed of low-back pain. While we were there we taught his daughters how to heal, by having them pray for their mother’s injured foot. Both Tim and his wife were better after prayer. When we were done, the girls wanted to show us something. The brought out a pile of pennies and began sticking them to the kitchen wall. Since we’d been in their house, I noticed the presence of God was growing stronger. The pennies stuck like crazy.

My wife had never done it before, so we each grabbed a penny and held it to the wall and both of them stayed there for about 5 seconds. One of the girls stuck several pennies on the corner of the wall, where half the penny was hanging over the edge. If you’re inclined to believe this can be explained by surface tension or paint adhesion , when you see a penny half over the edge of a wall, staying there for 20 seconds or so, natural explanations begin to lose their explanatory power.

So there I was sitting in the salon watching Angie’s son, who was riveted to his video game. I decided to try sticking a penny to the wall. She opened her cash box and gave me a penny. I found a place on the wall, held it in place 2 or 3 times and watched it fall to the floor. I forgot one thing; invite the Holy Spirit to join us.

I asked Him to bring His presence into the room and make the penny stick to the wall. And it stuck, for about 5 seconds. Angie was shocked. I did it again and her son looked up and smiled. I did it again and they asked if it was a trick. Then I moved over to the corner and let half the penny hang over the edge and it stuck for about one second. I did this 3 or 4 times and her son dropped his game and came over by me. He wanted to know how I did it.

I explained that Jesus said signs and wonders would follow those who believe in Him and this was one of those signs. I told him, “It’s not magic; it’s the power of God. You can do the same thing, just hold the penny on the wall and ask God to hold it there when you let go.” I demonstrated a few more times, then he held it to the wall and asked God to hold it when he let go. It stuck the first time and every time afterward. He was filled with joy and wonder and forgot about his video game.

People often ask, “what’s the point of it?”

I found out last night, there are several valuable things that come from these exercises. First, sticking pennies to the wall is a tangible display of God’s power to those who don’t know Him that’s difficult to refute by natural explanations. Second, it’s an exercise in which we learn to cooperate with God and sense his presence and power at work. Angie’s son knows virtually nothing about the power of God. But after last night’s experience, he has at least one way in which he can experience God. As curious as boys are, it won’t be long before he finds other ways and his friends might be involved at some point. Third, as we cooperate with God, our faith for operating in miracles, signs and wonders grows. If we start with a simple thing like this, it can grow in many different directions including things like food multiplication and healing.

If you'd like to see videos of coins sticking to glass or forks and spoons sticking to walls, go here.

These exercises are like going to a gym and working out. Working out doesn’t have a great purpose in itself. It’s merely a way to strengthen yourself so that you can operate better when you do other things. Sticking pennies to the wall builds faith for living a kingdom lifestyle. If you spend an afternoon with friends getting to know God’s power by sticking things to the wall, or a glass door, the next time you need to release God’s power for a person with cancer, you might be surprised at how much faith you have to get them healed.

I should mention, one more thing - I love the colors Angie put my sweetie's hair. She looks rather amazing.

Kris Valloton - Perseverance For Breakthrough



In our pursuit of healing, we may arrive a place where miracles happen so often that we feel like a failure when they don't. The reality is that all of us will eventually find someone with an illness or some situation that requires years of praying persistently before we see breakthrough. Kris Valloton shares some insights on the value of perseverance in prayer.

A New Kidney and a Dream Come True

















This unusual healing story is true. The names have been omitted at the request of the people involved.

On March 29, 2011, I received the following message on Facebook:

Good morning to you ! I have a special request. My FB friend (name omitted) , an Administrator with me on our Intercessory Prayer Page inboxed me. She is very upset right now about her Pastor in her church whose only kidney is failing, not doing well. She is confused because she wonders why God didn't heal him when he gave up his BP meds a couple of years ago and branched out in faith thinking he was "healed". I don't want to get into details, thought maybe if you would please "friend her" you could help her and pray for her Pastor as well. I told her a little bit about you and that we are friends. She will be looking for you I'm sure. I gave her my views on this, but I was following some of your posts, you are more blessed in this area than I, and you have the healing ministry.
Love you Bro, and thank you ! :)

I replied:
Praying Medic March 31 at 8:05am
I'll find her and send the request. And I'll pray for her pastor.

Be blessed!

She replied:
(Name omitted) March 31 at 8:31am
Thank you so much !!!! Yes, I see she just in boxed me aout friend request, and yes, she has lots of questions about faith with healing, etc.
God bless you and thanks for your expediancy.
Have a blessed Holy Spirit filled day.


A few minutes later, after sending a friend request, I received this message from my new friend:

(Name omitted) March 31 at 8:29am
He believed God two years ago to come off of his high blood medication. God had healed him of cancer of the kindneys some 20 years ago and although he had one kidney removed because of the cancer, he refused chemotherapy and have been clean of cancer for over 20 years. When he got off his medicine cold turkey, we as members honored his faith but we also were very cautious and concerned as this move. He hung up his pill bottles on the wall to demonstrate his faith. since that time, he had been having severe headaches and pain in other parts of his body but nothing major. He just kept claiming his healing and he declared that he would not get back on his medicine even if it cost him his life. Well, time went on and he never missed a beat and we all thought he was healed until he was suddenly hospitalized. The only kidney he has left is at 25% functional and his prostate is enlarged. I really want to believe God for a miracle for him today because it bothers me that he stepped out on faith but was not healed (obviously).

I replied:
Praying Medic March 31 at 8:36am
I understand your concern and frustration. I'm in prayer for him. I write a lot about healing if you're interested in another perspective on it. If you're interested, let me know and I'll send a link to a series of notes I wrote.
Be blessed!

She replied:
(Name omitted) March 31 at 8:38am
yes, I am interested. please send me the link, thanks!


I replied:
Praying Medic March 31 at 3:41pm
OK Then!
The notes are not in any particular order, though I recommend people start with "Healing 101". It sets a foundation to build on for getting grounded in the basic principles of healing.

That note can be found here:
http://www.facebook.com/editnote.php?draft&note_id=146476992057464&id=100000939408136

There are a dozen or so notes in the series. I've added links to previous ones at the bottom as I wrote more of them. The comments are mostly from friends who operate in healing ministries. I also have a number of videos about healing, if you're interested. And finally, I have a website that is full of healing testimonies, stories about healing miracles I've seen on and off the job, teaching videos and a lot of other things concerning the kingdom of God.
Blessings!


She posted this on my wall the next day:
@Praying Medic: I have a Praise Report! God has restored my Pastor back to health. He is to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Thank you for praying and thank God for your intense healing ministry. I've been reading your blogs and learning a lot.

She then sent this message:
(Name Omitted) April 2 at 3:06pmRemember the one kidney that was severely damaged and operating at 25% and docs were talking dialysis and transplant? His wife told me this morning that when they checked his kidney again it showed they are now functioning at 100%! I know it's because I asked you to pray for him because none of this was happening until after I came in contact with you. I could not say this on your wall because I have alot if ppl who know him but Don't know about his kidney situation.

I am so blessed to hear about his miraculous healing. I have some even more amazing news for you. I have a lot of dreams about healing. Some involved God teaching me about healing, others are specific dreams about individuals who are going to be healed. He's what I wrote in my dream journal from the night of March 31:

I had the following dream: I was with a man, who needed a new kidney. He had a surgical opening in his side. The opening was clean, with no blood present. He beckoned me to come near and put my hand in his side and try to find his kidney. I placed my hand in his side and moved around some of his organs to try to locate it. (End of dream)

I wonder if the dream was about your pastor and somehow, I was able to get his new kidney from God.
May I re-post this testimony?


She replied:
(Name omitted) April 3 at 7:40pm
Wow! This Is so deep! Yes, I believe it's directly related to my Pastor. You're welcome to post it on your blog.

Uterine Tumors Healed















This was posted on my Facebook wall yesterday by a friend:

HUGE PRAISE REPORT: Last night God healed my uterine tumors. I have been suffering with these for some time now and last night in a healing service I went up for prayer and started feeling a swirling going on inside me then a heat and then it felt like something shot right into my belly and straight through my back and was stuck in there.

I asked the Lord what it was ,,and as the prayer kept going, He gave me a clear picture of a big old Sword. It was bright and lit up and it was in me, with massive heat radiating from it...I was sweating and spoke what I saw to those praying for me.

This lead them to be even more intense in their prayer and I just thanked the Lord for the healing; and kept receiving His healing. I could feel the dissipation of the tumors going on inside me. I kept thanking God and then I could see the blade start to come out. As it came sliding out quickly, just at the very same time, those who had their hands on me pulled them back suddenly, right at the very same time. I said, "He's done" and the smile is still on my face. You have to know that I have been suffering with these for some time now and do not have insurance. The pain had started to be almost unbearable.

I had to share this with brothers and sisters that I know would understand and believe and wanted to encourage others. God bless you all. I've had this condition test/documented for about 6 months, but I had been having a lot of the symptoms for at least a year. Not having any insurance though, stopped me from pursuing any medical advised, knowing that I would not be able to follow through with anything recommended.

I do plan on getting checked up, as soon as financially able to. I have to be able to pay for the doctor visit and then get a referral and pay for the test. But, I had a large bulge on my left side that is completely gone. I have, from time-to-time started having twinges inside, but I keep thanking Jesus for my healing and they go away. I would not mind at all if you posted this because I hope it would encourage others.

Chicken Strips and Wrist Immobilizers




About a month ago we paid a visit to a part of the city we really like. Northeast Tacoma is a small, residential area perched on a hill overlooking the port of Tacoma. The view is nice. But the food is amazing.

While killing time waiting for a call, we went to our favorite Shell station for fuel and food. I don't normally eat gas station food, except for an occasional ice cream bar, but this gas station makes the best chicken strips in town. While my partner filled the ambulance I got lunch.




As I ordered a 4-piece box of chicken strips, I noticed that the young woman behind the counter had a black immobilizer on her wrist, so I ask what happened and if if she wanted to be healed.

She looked at me and said, "Whatever". She was skeptical, which is understandable if you've never seen anyone healed by the power of God at a gas station.

But this wasn't my first barbecue.

Before I paid for the food, I asked her to hold out her arm and she did. She let me pray over her wrist. I commanded the wrist to be healed and the spirit of pain to leave in the name of Jesus.

After praying I asked if she felt anything. She said, "no, it still hurts." So I prayed again and asked if she felt anything. "Nope." I prayed a third time and asked if she felt any change. "Nothing - it still hurts."

I told her that sometimes people get healed, though they don't feel anything immediately. Sometimes they notice the symptoms go away the next day or even a week later. I told her I believed she was healed then thanked her and left with my chicken strips, which were awesome.

We went back to the Shell station about two weeks later for fuel and while my partner filled the tank, I went inside for some of those yummy chicken strips.

I saw the same woman behind the counter. She wasn't wearing the wrist immobilizer so I asked where it was. With a smile he said, "I don't need it anymore, my wrist feels great."

I taught her a little about how to keep her healing if the pain returned and got an order of chicken strips.

Those chicken strips are amazing, but not as amazing as our healer, Jesus!

The Proof Is In The Paralysis

This post may challenge your theology. It challenged mine.

But we're in a season where God is once again asking us to set aside some of our agendas and let Him show us things in His kingdom we haven't yet considered.

I've taken some heat lately for not standing against John Crowder, who is featured in today's testimony. To be honest, I don't know much about John. But in a recent exchange, when I didn't join others in condemning Crowder, a few people who believe he's a false teacher became angry with me.

OK, it was a little worse than that. They accused me of being deceived. One of them started his own blog to proclaim the truth I wasn't seeing. And that's pretty much how these things go.

One of the troubling things I've experienced (though it seems to happen more to my friends than to me) is the tendency of some Christians to label anyone who doesn't agree with them as a false teacher or false prophet. Crowder is one of the biggest targets for criticism these days.

So I went to the Holy Spirit and asked what's going on.

This is what I heard:

People who reject ideas that conflict with their own, do so because their identity comes from what they hold to be true. They call themselves Christian, Calvinist, Atheist, Republican, Lutheran, etc, based on what ideas they believe to be true and to some degree what experiences they've had.

For many, these labels have become their identity. Instead of taking their identity from the God, they form one based on philosophies, doctrines, morals and experiences. When confronted with a theological idea, their identity comes into question. If they affirm the idea, they allow it to become part of their identity. If they reject it, they maintain their identity.

For these people, every discussion about God or religion challenges their identity.

Herein lies a great problem.

If we tie our identity to our beliefs, every time we discuss something theological, our identity is at risk. If we don't want to change our identity every day, we must reject all experiences and teaching that differ from our own. From this, we first reject an idea. If an individual confronts our identity often enough with "false" teaching, it's easier to label them a false teacher and reject everything they say. This reduces the exposure of our identity to challenges.

This is the operating mode of people who are sometimes referred to as "heresy hunters".

There is another group, whose identity isn't tied to what they believe to be true. They take their identity from what God says about them. Some have heard Him say, "You are one of my prophets" or "You are my chosen vessel for leading worship". Once God declares their identity it never comes into question again. They believe what God said and that ends the debate.

People who take their identity from the Father can be challenged in their beliefs, because their identity isn't at stake in theological discussions. Their beliefs are a bit more flexible and will change from time to time as experiences and revelation continually shape them.

These people are free to disagree with one another without the need to label anyone a false teacher because they have little at stake personally in the discussion.

Bearing these things in mind, I'd ask you to consider this rather amazing testimony from John Crowder and his friend concerning a spiritual revival at Walmart that began with the healing of a woman who was paralyzed.

For those who aren't familiar with what it's like to be drunk in the spirit, that is what they're referring to when they talk about getting whacked, juiced, drunk, etc. They haven't been drinking alcohol. It's the same thing the apostle Peter defended when he said, "These are not drunk as you suppose.... but this is that which was spoken of by the the prophet Joel." (Acts 2:15-16)
