BELIEF releases God’s healing power

We see healers in flashy suits and slick hair bringing much needed healing to people joyfully receiving God’s healing and think, “Wow, he is something special. If only God gave me a gift like that!”

What’s special is the Gift of the Holy Spirit in them as a result of being baptized into Christ Jesus. Do you have the Holy Spirit? Are you in Christ?

Then you only need one more thing to see God’s power flowing from you to transform people’s lives in the form of emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healings. You need BELIEF.

Stop entertaining demons of doubt. Kick them out and start seeing God’s power released through you. Unbelief is the surest way to quench the power of the Holy Spirit. Replace unbelief with stubborn and unflinching BELIEF!

Let me show you a video of a believer experienced in healing, Pete Cabrera, Jr., showing another person the power of BELIEF

Listen to what Jesus says about believing in Mark 11: “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

If you are excited by the thought of healing others in Jesus’ name to glorify Christ… If you would like to give freely to others since you have freely received from God (Matthew 10)… Then I encourage you to boost your level of BELIEF by listening to this in-depth, Biblical teaching on the believer’s authority to heal.

I was recently watching a Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural interview of Sandra Kennedy. She has a good understanding of the importance of stubbornly believing in Christ’s power to overcome every problem. Watch this episode to see the power of BELIEF.

Will you keep letting your experiences and mind quench the Holy Spirit’s work with doubts?

Or, will you start believing in God’s power and believing the words of Christ Jesus no matter what? Let’s stubbornly hold fast to the truth and resist every lie. Only with such BELIEF will we see the world changed by the Gospel of Christ.

Little boy tells about seeing heaven

At first his parents weren’t sure what to make of their young son’s claim that he had seen heaven while on the operating table. But then the boy began telling them things that he couldn’t have known such as details about his sister that they had never even told him about and his great grandfather whom he had never met. He says he knows these things about these people because he met them while in heaven. He also met Jesus and angels and learned many extraordinary things while in heaven.

His experiences and discoveries in heaven are all in the book Heaven is for Real.

Here is a 20 minute radio interview with Colton Burpo’s father:

Diamonds and Gems from Heaven – The Diamond Couple Story

The first diamond showed up in their bed on the night of their first Christmas together as a husband and wife. They had left good jobs to dedicate themselves to knowing God better and the young husband, David Causer, had been feeling sad and worried for not being able to give his wife Taylor more for Christmas. But God reassured him that it was not things that she wanted but love.

That night God gave them an amazing Christmas present as a sign that they were doing the right thing in choosing to devote themselves to Him rather than pursue material things and worldly goals. They had chosen to follow God — the creator of all material things. David and Taylor Causer were discovering the truth of Jesus Christ’s words: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be provided to you as well.”

To help you explore The Diamond Couple’s story, I am posting a video, photos, and links to their websites where you can learn more about what God has been doing in their lives and also read about the miraculous healings, signs, and wonders that God is doing through them.

Florida Man Raised from the Dead by Praying Cardiologist

On October 20, 2006 Jeff Markin collapsed from a massive heart attack after driving himself to the Palm Beach Gardens Hospital emergency room.

The emergency medical workers and supervising cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall followed standard procedure using defibrillator pads more than a dozen times trying to shock Jeff’s heart back to working order. With each passing minute their chances of successfully resuscitating the heart attack victim plummeted dramatically. After they had worked feverishly for 40 minutes trying to bring Jeff’s heart out of a flatline they had to finally call the time of death and walk away from the corpse.

That would have been the end of a disappointing but not terribly unusual heart attack case. But as Dr. Chauncey Crandall was walking away after filling out some paperwork he sensed the Holy Spirit’s voice saying that he should pray for the now officially dead heart attack victim.

By this time Jeff Markin’s body was being prepared for the morgue. Dr. Crandall walked in there and began praying for Jeff Markin. Another doctor walked in and Dr. Crandall persuaded him to once again apply the defibrillators and see if the body could be shocked back to life. Despite the utter hopelessness of the situation the protesting doctor did as he was asked out of respect to his colleague. Miraculously, Jeff’s heart responded beautifully with a perfect heartbeat and Jeff began breathing again.

He was brought back to life by faith, prayer, and one more try using conventional medicine. Thus he would live to tell about his experience while physically dead. Miraculously Jeff not only came back to life but also did not sustain any brain damage.

In his book, Raising the Dead, Dr. Crandall tells all about this and other cases of raising the dead and healings and what brought him to the place where he has joined his medical expertise with prayer for each of his patients.

I have also found a number of reports and interviews that will fill in more details about this case. I hope you find all these resources and this amazing story to be a great inspiration as you remember the declaration of Jesus Christ: I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. ~ Revelation 1:18

Angel Feathers — Feathers from Heaven

People around the world have witnessed feathers mysteriously appearing out of thin air. This has happened in church and prayer meetings, in homes, in cars, and other places.

Many people call them angel feathers. This is speculative, but what is clear is that they are a sign of the nearness of God and heaven and his holy angels.

Where do they come from?

Are they actually falling out of angel wings? Are they from birds and being miraculously translocated into people’s homes and churches? Are they manifesting from nothing by a command of God Almighty just as the whole universe materialized in the beginning from the powerful spoken word of God?

It’s a mystery.

However God chooses to do this wonder, it is a great encouragement to saints all over the world who have discovered feathers mysteriously appearing out of thin air.

Remember that even if you don’t get feathers floating into your bedroom that the truth remains that God and his angels are with you. This is a spiritual truth that does not require material evidence. Believe in your heart that God is with you and protecting you and see how He comes through for you time and time again!

Here are two scriptures that give us God’s promise regarding this:

“For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.” (Psalm 34:7)

“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” (Psalm 91:4)

Here is a collection of videos showing feather miracles and people telling their own experiences with this amazing sign of God’s love.

Feathers Falling at a Tent Meeting — Recording of a Mahesh Chavda tent Campmeeting

Feathers that Miraculously Appeared Under Girl’s Pillow — A young girl in the Philippines asked God to surprise her on her coming birthday. When she was preparing her bed, she was surprised when more than thirty feathers appeared under her pillow. Feather manifestations has been appearing all over the world. It is a sign of angelic presence and God’s love and protection. (Luke 13:34)

Chad Leatherby’s collection of Angel Feathers 2 — These are angel feathers that showed up on a trip to KC for a conference.

Joshua Mills tells how a Revival started when Angel Feathers and Other Signs Manifested for a Girl —  Joshua Mills shares the story of miracles happening in the arctic when a girl started to experience miracles in her room. She was reading Joshua’s book where he was discussing various miracles, and the same type of miracles started to happen in her room. As a result of this she gave her life to Jesus Christ and a powerful move of God happened in that community as other people started to experience the miracles as well – including her husband (who was a drug lord in the community) coming to Jesus. Joshua shares how her husband was upset about the miracles that were happening, and he was going to go to the place where they were happening to create some trouble. But instead he was impacted by God when he arrived, and he turned his life over to Jesus.

 

Additionally, Author Michael King has written a book on the subject, titled Feathers From Heaven, with the goal of explaining this supernatural manifestation, as well as giving guidance on how we can discern what God is doing and how we can know God is at work through this miracle.

The book chapters, taken from the Amazon page are as listed:

  • Our Personal Story – This is our family’s personal story of how we started finding Feathers from Heaven.
  • The Meaning in the Manifestation – This takes a look at God’s plans and purposes through this miracle.
  • Discernment and Deception – This answers the question “How do I know this is God?”, providing wisdom to help navigate the miracles.
  • Ruffled Feathers – This addresses some common concerns and objections people have about this manifestation.
  • Feather Stories – This shares many stories from others recounting their miracle-moments finding heavenly feathers.
  • How Do I Get This To Happen? – This looks at how we can partner with God to encourage our own feather encounters.
  • Feathers from Heaven – This is a unique transdimensional feather story meant to expand our beliefs of what is possible.

 

 

I hope you have found this article to be a blessing as you remember that God is always with you.

Young boy Aldo McPherson shares a message from God after visiting heaven

A Message from GodOn June 19, 2004, a South African family had a serious car accident. The accident left their 12 year old son, Aldo McPherson, in a coma and on life support.

God did a number of miracles for Aldo and his family. God allowed Aldo to experience heaven and then asked Aldo to share a message with the world. God also taught Aldo and his family — especially his mother Retha McPherson — how to speak life and restoration over Aldo’s physical condition. In response to their obedience God began healing Aldo.

Before sharing some of the messages Aldo brought back with him from heaven and some of the lessons Retha McPherson learned, I would like to share this video documenting Aldo’s recovery process after the accident.

Aldo McPherson’s Recovery

 

 

You can also watch Retha McPherson tell her family’s story as she is interviewed on It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth (below).

Retha McPherson on It’s Supernatural

Aldo was unable to speak after his coma so he had to write when he wanted to communicate. He began writing to tell his family and the world what he had experienced in heaven and what God had been revealing to him.

His original letters were written in Afrikaans. You can see some of them and read the English translation provided under each one. Here is The Collection of Aldo McPherson’s hand-written letters from 2005 to the present.

It looks like the letters included in this collection supplement the ones already published in Aldo and Retha McPherson’s books. You can see some of these very interesting letters and read more of the story in the book A Message from God co-authored by Aldo McPherson and his mother Retha McPherson, which is available as a print book or as a digital ebook in our bookstore.

Spiritual Shifts Over Cities, Regions, and Nations

About ten years ago I watched a documentary with amazement as I saw four communities transformed from darkness to light as spiritual people united in seeking God’s intervention in their cities.

Later I heard rumors that a follow-up documentary was produced to tell the story of additional places changed by the power of the Spirit of God.

Today, I am sharing both of these documentaries for your inspiration. May your heart be awakened to what is possible when spiritual people are concerned about their communities.

You can get both of these documenaries on DVD from the Videos area of our new book store.

Disney’s Magic Kingdom gets a visit from God’s Heavenly Kingdom

Short 2 minute clip from full 30 minute video (scroll down to see full video)

Three friends (Hannah Ford, Jason Tax, and Jason Chin) were given a set of Disneyland tickets from a woman at the church they were attending that night.

When they entered Disneyland the next day they were carrying the presence of God inside them. Thus God’s power entered Disneyland and over a hundred people had a direct encounter with the power of God that day.

Hannah Ford’s brother explains how the three friends got the opportunity to share God’s power to heal and change lives with over 100 people in just one day at Disneyland.

Taken from his YouTube post:

This is amazing! God is so great!!! My sister, Hannah Ford, (music ministry website- www.hannahford.com) was at Disneyland with some friends. She and her 2 friends, Jason Chin and Jason Tax, had been praying for revival to break out. They were standing in line for a ride, and one of them began talking with a teenager. She had some physical ailment and they offered to pray for her. She was healed on the spot. It blew the girl’s mind! Hannah prayed that God would move exponentially, and before long, they found themselves praying for another kid, an 8th grade boy, a star basketball player, and the son of a medical doctor. He had injured his shoulder and could not raise it at all, and had been out for the season. They prayed for him, and he was healed! He got so excited he called his father, and then he started texting his fellow 8th graders from his charter school, who were also at Disneyland. Kids starting coming from everywhere. They were actually leaving their places in line at various rides so they could come and find out what was going on. Wave after wave of kids from this charter school came and were prayed for and told the good news of salvation through Jesus. There were numerous healings and 30-40 put their faith in Jesus Christ. Kids were crying and laughing and saying they felt lighter. There was never one massive gathering, but groups of kids would come for awhile and then move on. But in all, my sister says that they prayed for and shared Jesus with 60-100 kids. They led them in prayer openly to receive Christ at Disneyland of all places.

There is a lot more video footage which will be posted later. My sister didn’t have time to get the rest out before leaving on a ministry trip to Mexico.

This all happened on Thursday, June 11, 2009.

Here are four videos that document some of what happened during that day with more information to follow after the videos.

Jesus Goes to Disneyland! (part 4 of 4)

Jason Chin (one of the three friends) shared his testimony of what happened at Bethel Church’s testimony website:

I went down to see my best friend, Jason Tax, in Los Angeles, just to visit for a week and hang out-and who knows what adventure the Holy Spirit might lead us into. Jay and I love to do street evangelism together. On the way down, I saw a Disneyland sign, and I remembered the times of lying on my bed dreaming with the Holy Spirit of revival inside the theme park. I thought, “Wow that would be cool if that ever happened for real.”

I had the privilege of speaking at my friend’s church on Wednesday night, and after the service, a lady asked me if I wanted a free ticket to Disneyland the following day. Yippie, Jesus. I thought, Wow! Those tickets are $94!

Jason Tax, Hannah Ford and I went to Disneyland to have a great day in the sun with the Son-and God set us up through one key miracle of a young man’s shoulder that was in a sling. We approached him and asked if we could pray for healing. Jesus instantly completely healed his shoulder and he removed his sling and began to test it out. He started crying from God’s goodness, and he told us how he could not raise it at all because of a fresh torn rotator cuff injury. He then started raising his arm over his head and moving it as freely as the other one. His friends explained how he is the star football player at their school and he would have had to take the entire year off from football after his scheduled surgery, so we explained the gospel of Jesus Christ and the miracles to the group of eight or so, and they all got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, and two of them got healed-one of scoliosis. The other had Jesus grow out his leg as his friends all looked on.

They all started freaking out, and the heavenly momentum hit and it erupted into an all-out Holy Spirit healing miracle service in the Disneyland food court for four and a half hours as groups of young people got their friends and brought them back to us for healing. They would come to us and say, “Can you heal this?” as they would point to a lump on their knee or a bad ankle. We would answer something like, “We can not heal anything but Jesus can heal everything and that same Jesus is in you now, so everyone put your hand on this person and say, “Be healed in Jesus’ name! Now test it out.'” Really, that’s how we prayed: “Be healed! Now test it out.” Almost every healing was instant as the looks of shock appeared on the faces, then praise and cheers to Jesus would erupt from the crowd of youth!

Flat feet were healed as arches formed in front of everyone to witness. One girl was so scared as her friends dragged her up to us. She was almost crying from fear. We told her, “Hon, you have nothing to be afraid of. This is Jesus and He loves you very much.” She had extreme scoliosis and a dislocated thumb that was in a hand brace. She was still very much afraid so we told her, “We won’t even need to touch you because the glory is here. Just remove your brace and move your thumb around.” She did and her thumb was instantly healed. We asked her to touch her toes and then check her back out. She did and her friends lifted up the back of her shirt to check out her spine. They all screamed because it was now perfectly straight. Jesus! We asked her if she knew Jesus, and she said no. We told her it was Jesus who just healed her and asked her if she would like to know that Jesus? She said yes, so she got saved and then we explained to her about being filled with the Holy Spirit and she said she wanted Him, too! So we asked her to put her hands out in front of her and say, “Holy Spirit, come and fill me up. I give my life to you.” She started shaking under the power of God. God is soooo good!

We witnessed bone knots dissolve from knees, asthma healed, crooked knees straightened out, and eyes healed. Some protruding ribs were pulled back into the chest. Even gold dust showed up on many and three youths experienced supernatural weight loss as their once tight pants got looser and looser. Screams erupted as one man grew an inch taller while everyone looked on.

A super cool thing was how each kid got saved and then we prayed for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit and almost every kid felt a strong manifestation of the Holy Spirit like electricity, heat, tingling all over their bodies or a heavy, weighty presence.

They would then ask us questions like, “Can you make the sadness I feel leave the inside of me?” All their friends would say, “I feel that way, too,” so we started praying in large groups, commanding depression to leave them and joy to come. Kids were crying, laughing, yelling “Jesus,” saying things like, “I can’t believe this! This is way better than any ride here!” Those kids were getting set free. We prayed for healing for the first few kids only. Then we taught the youth that the same Spirit dwells in each of them, and then we watched Jesus heal through their hands! We witnessed around 120-140 healings, most of them instant and about 100 or so decisions for Christ, of which 50 or so were first-time decisions, asking Jesus to forgive them of their sins. Yea, Jesus! One young man came up to me and said, “I never knew that Jesus died for me,” and he yelled at the top of his lungs: “Jesus!”

Coins and More Held to Walls and Other Surfaces By Faith — God having fun with his kiddies

With each new move of God people tend to resist at first, so I’m going to try to make this as easy as possible for you to accept and understand by giving you background information and some insights God has given me along the way.

Coins and Silverware held to the wall by power of faith and prayer
Coins and Silverware held to the wall by power of faith and prayer on July 9, 2010

I have loaded this post with some of my favorite video footage documenting this miraculous sign and wonder.

This miracle is growing in strength as people exercise their faith. I’m trying to give a fairly chronological telling of the story of the beginning stages of this miracle so the videos included in this post will be progressively more and more impressive as you go down the page.

Okay, let’s put down an anchor now in Mark chapter 11 where Jesus made the following statement: “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Do you believe God can REALLY move mountains in response to our prayers? Of course God can do it. But Jesus says that we need to have faith too. We have to believe that it will really be done for us. And, I’m not talking about the kind of so-called faith that we try to work up when a crisis hits us. No, I’m talking about that deep-seated faith that it WILL be done because we already have an intimate familiarity with God’s power and God’s willingness to respond to our prayers.

After we see God move some pebbles for us, we can perhaps have the faith to believe God will move a boulder for us. Then a hill. Then a mountain. Do you see how faith is built on past victories?

But someone might ask: Would it be a waste of God’s power to move some pebbles for me? Is it too SMALL a thing for God to do?

Personally, I don’t think God’s power can be wasted because his power is LIMITLESS. I don’t think my Daddy in heaven is ever annoyed at any faith-filled prayer I send his way. In fact, I think He is delighted that I believe him enough to actually start doing some of the things that He says are possible for those who have faith. He is thrilled that I am exercising my faith and that I have joy in the big AND little things he does for me.

As I see him do so-called “small” things for me, I can trust him for bigger things. That’s how faith works. A Christian does not typically pray and see someone healed of cancer before they have first built up their faith by seeing that God can heal people of stomachaches.

That’s what this new sign and wonder is about. It is about the Christian seeing God miraculously override natural forces such as gravity in the small things like pennies so that we will have the faith in the future to believe God for bigger miracles.

Although inconclusive, my research suggests that this sign and wonder began sometime in 2009 when a young person at Bethel Church in Redding, California started praying for coins to stick to the wall, poster, and other places in their bedroom only by God’s power… and the coins STUCK by God’s power. One source said it was a young man who heard God say to pray in faith for a coin to stick to a wall. Another source (my friend on Facebook who is familiar with this new sign and wonder) said it was a girl. Anyone who has more information is encouraged to post a comment in response to this post.

A handful of young people attended a conference at Bethel in March 2010 and found out about this Sign and Wonder and decided to give it a try and it worked for them too.

Eventually Scott Morrison of Georgia (USA) found out about it and began praying that God would do it for him too.

When I asked Scott what inspired him to give it a try, he explained:

“I heard of people in Bethel starting it. And I heard of some kid in Georgia who got a jar full of pennies that appeared in his room supernaturally and then he saw some Bethel kids doing it and knew what it was for.

My friend Mercy and some other people on Youtube inspired me to try it.”

Starting back in May of this year, Scott began posting some amazing videos of what God was doing for him in response to his simple, child-like faith. Here are five of the videos he posted.

Pennies held to wall by prayer

Dime on door in the glory

Dime held to the ceiling by faith

Coins hanging onto a corner by God’s power

Then, towards the end of May, a fellow believer visited Scott and was encouraged to give it a try. He came back to his fellowship and told his brothers and sisters in Christ about the miracle and they tried it too.   This helped more Christians realize that this is not a gift reserved for the select few. This is for every believer who is willing to enter into child-like faith believing that God is in them and able to do all things through them.

I was interested in this miracle and wanted to find more videos documenting this sign and wonder so I could share it with you here.

I contacted Scott and his friends to ask them how it was done. My understanding after communicating with them was that it was because of God’s presence and power that the coins stayed up. I was told it was helpful to put aside your questioning mind and just believe in God’s power. I was also told it was helpful to have God’s glorious presence in the room by cultivating an atmosphere of worship.

From the time I first saw a video of a coin staying up by prayer, about six weeks went by without me having any success in getting coins to stay up by prayer.

One day, I showed my wife the video of the Christian fellowship putting up coins in God’s glory (the above video). After watching, she asked for a coin and prayed for it to stay up on the wardrobe door next to our computer… and it STAYED for about 2 seconds. We were in awe and thoroughly convinced that this was for real at that point. We spent the rest of that evening trying to get coins to stay up and did not witness any more miracles.

We figured watching that video helped put us in the right frame of mind to be able to do the miracle but the effects of the video quickly wore off.

Another evening a couple weeks later, we had been in worship for about a half hour and we felt God’s presence so we decided to pray for coins to stay up again and this time they began sticking on various surfaces for us.

Since that night, we have successfully prayed for coins to stay on the vertical sides of refrigerators, a blackboard, walls, metal desks, stone boulders, a TV screen, a sliding glass door, street lamp posts, wardrobe doors, the door to our house and its door frame, along with other surfaces.

Our first instinct was to try to PROVE that this was a miracle. Since then, we have learned that this miracle is meant to be ENJOYED — not proved. Trying to prove the miracle can get you into such an analytical frame of mind that the wonder of the miracle is repeatedly attacked from every angle as your mind starts taking over and trying to explain it away.

As we analyzed and explained this miracle to death, we noticed that the power of the miracle began diminishing. Because we allowed our minds to be consumed with questions and doubts, we went from putting up spoons by God’s power back to having trouble getting penny-sized coins to stay up for us. Now, as we return to that place of child-like faith and joy in God’s wonders, we are seeing our prayers increase in power and effectiveness again.

I encourage everyone experiencing this miracle to just enjoy the miracle and have fun worshiping God as he demonstrates his power. My experience has caused me to believe that this miracle is meant primarily to fill us with JOY and FAITH while we have fun worshiping our Father in heaven.

Don’t think of this miracle merely as the newest tool that will help you convince all your friends and family that God is real. Just let your faith and joy increase, which will in turn allow you to experience even greater miracles in the future — which, by the way, may be the miracles that help your family and friends discover the power of God down the road.

Of course, as in all things let the Holy Spirit lead you. I’m just trying to warn you against making this miracle all about performing and trying to prove something.

We have been programed by our churches to make everything about sharing our faith. But sometimes, God just wants to increase our faith and help us draw nearer to him.

Think of Jesus’ ministry on the earth. There were miracles for the crowds (such as feeding the 5,000) and there were private miracles for the disciples (such as walking on water).

By the way, Peter and Jesus walking on water together is an excellent example of our authority to experience amazing things with Jesus even if there is no apparent point to it except to do something that stretches our faith and to have fun being with Jesus.

Why did Jesus and Peter walk on water? Were they testing God? Were they involved in witchcraft? No! They were simply doing what they knew they could do because they had the authority to do it. Jesus had authority from God to walk on water. He could have used a boat or walked around the lake but since he could walk on water that’s what he did! He did it simply because he could. Peter thought it was neat and looked fun to walk on water and he wanted to be where Jesus was and do what Jesus did. When Jesus gave him authority to walk on the water by inviting him, Peter got out of the boat and did it too.

They weren’t asking God to prove anything (testing God). They weren’t using unholy spirits and demons to control events and other people (witchcraft). They were simply acting out their God-given right to live God-empowered lives by resting in full assurance of the authority given them.

So, I don’t think there needs to be a humongous purpose for doing something supernatural. Otherwise, Jesus and Peter would have always managed to find a way to stay in a boat when they were on the water. The other day I was watching kids playing on the playground. They were trying to get tricycles up a slide. People who are “in the box” say that tricycles belong on sidewalks. But children think differently than adults — in fact, often children just DO instead of think and, incidentally, they have more fun and joy in their lives than most adults.

Personally, though, I think God does have a big purpose for this new sign. I think this is a genius plan from heaven — think about it: everyone is familiar with gravity, everyone has walls, everyone has access to a penny or some other object. This is a sign for every person to see that miracles are available to all of us when we start having faith in God’s ability to intervene and override every situation. Also, this miracle is a clear demonstration that God’s edicts are more powerful than the natural laws he set up (gravity). One of God’s edicts says that we can do miracles simply by praying for them in Jesus’ name in faith (John 14:12, Matt 21:22, etc). This is a very visible sign that can be tested. For the Christian, there can no longer be any doubt that prayer is powerful. That encourages us to be all the more eager to pray for healings, deliverance, and other divine interventions in our lives and the lives of the hurting people around us. I’m sure that there are many more ways that God can use what some would consider a silly miracle. God loves to use the “foolish” things to confound the wise, right?

When we saw coins staying on the walls we were encouraged to have more faith in God in regards to our future and our finances. We figured that if God can hold up a coin in response to prayer, we can surely count on him to keep his promises to guide our future and provide for our material needs.

So, those are my thoughts on the purpose of this miracle. What it boils down to for me is increasing our FAITH and JOY as we LOVE on God.

Now, let’s take a look at some more videos of people experiencing this miracle. Then, I’ll wrap up with a few more thoughts at the end.

In the first video in this next set, you will see a guy who had already seen these miracles via video but then he experiences it first hand.

His reaction demonstrates that the videos I’m sharing with you today cannot convince you of this miracle and they cannot make this miracle a real, living experience for you. I’m aware of that and I’m okay with that. I just hope you feel release in your spirit to try it for yourself so that you can experience it on a personal level — then you will believe. And if you cannot experience it yourself for some reason or other, then I hope that you will at least rejoice with your brothers and sisters and thank God for their child-like faith. Remember the apostle’s words found in 1 Corinthians 12 where he says, “if one part [of the body of Christ] is honored, every part rejoices with it.” Let us meditate on Paul’s teaching on the body of Christ and be sure to love and honor one another even if we don’t understand one another’s unique giftings and functionings in service to the Lord.

Also, before you watch the next video, let me point out that after seeing bobby pins on the wall the faith of the guy in the video grew by leaps and bounds. He instantly realized that if God can intervene in the natural realm then it should be no problem for God to take care of our financial and material problems. Plus, he quickly realized that if bobby pins can be held up by God’s power then heavier objects should also be able to stay up.

Having fun with Jesus & the angels sticking bobby pins to the wall! Matthew 17:20

 

Little kids get their bottle cap breakthrough in answer to persistent prayer

Little kids putting up bottle caps with Jesus

The same kids putting up coins — do you see their joy 🙂

By the way, did I mention that this miracle is spreading around the world as people see the videos online and try it out for themselves? We are in Asia at the moment and now some of our students are doing this miracle. One of my students told me that she has had a ring, a pair of glasses, chopsticks (metal ones and wood ones), all sorts of silverware, a book, and even a shirt stay up as she prays. Another student said he had a compass stay up for him. Several students have had their erasers stay up as they pray. They have all put up every size of coin and also paper money. Another student told me something really amazing… He said that he put two coins stacked one on top of the other up against the wall so both of the coin’s faces were touching each other and one coin’s face was touching the wall. The one up against the wall fell but the other one remained suspended in the air for a couple seconds — now, THAT’s FAR OUT!!! Another student put two coins up the same way (stacked face to face) and both of the coins stayed up together.

These are our little elementary school students who are worshiping God as they believe and see that God answers their prayers. You know, they have only been doing this for a couple weeks now. Who knows what they’ll try next week! They realize that Jesus is powerful and they are having fun finding out how powerful their prayers are.

We have also shared this miracle with friends who don’t share our faith in Jesus. You know what? Even these friends are able to do it if they have faith that it can happen for them. The other night we had a friend over who shares our belief in God but doesn’t necessarily have faith in Jesus right now. We just told her to allow God’s love-filled joy and energy to flow through her as she believed in God’s power to hold the coin up for her. It was so fun watching her faith grow as she moved from one level of experience to the next. When she first started that evening, the coins were simply falling just like they were for us when we first tried praying for coins to stay up, but by the end of the evening the coins were staying for several minutes at a time.

I’m sharing this with you so that you realize that this miracle really is all about faith and not about proving who has the right set of beliefs and doctrines. You know, if God had to wait for us to all have the perfect set of beliefs and doctrines before he could work through us, I doubt any of us would ever see a miracle in our lifetimes. But, I thank God for his grace that he extends to each one of us as we put our trust in him and let him flow through us. God is not looking for perfect, golden vessels to carry his power. He is simply looking for willing jars of clay (2 Corinthians 4:7).

Remember what Jesus said:  “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

See? Jesus did not put any conditions on the power to command mountains into the sea except that the person commanding believe in his heart that it will happen. Apparently, the same is true for commanding coins to stay on the wall — it just takes faith / belief coming from the heart of a person to make things happen.

Besides the USA where Scott Morrison lives and Asia where we currently reside, we have also heard of these gravity defying miracles being done in France and Germany.  I’m sure that this miracle will quickly sweep over the entire globe thanks to the internet and the availability of this miracle to everyone with a measure of faith.

I hope that these videos filled you with awe and worship for our Super-Powerful God who has come and made his home in us (see John 14:19-23).

A lot of people want to know why God is doing this miracle. I have given you my perspective on this already. In addition, here are five possible reasons that I saw shared on Freshwind Global Ministries’ Facebook page:

  • God is fun.
  • God is creative.
  • God is able to suspend natural laws
  • God likes to make us wonder
  • All things are possible.

In fact, I suppose it is in God’s nature to invite us to step out of the tiny little boat we have been living in so that we can start walking on the water with him!

If our faith in God increases… If we start really believing the things we say that we believe… Just imagine what might happen!

I know that there is a lot of confusion about how we can know if a miracle is from God or some other supernatural source (like a demon). To help you work through this, I encourage you to check out this great article that teaches the Biblical way to discern if a miracle is from God or not.

The article deals with many common questions among Christians including the following:

  • Does God really still do miracles nowadays?
  • If I don’t see this miracle anywhere in the Bible, can it really be from God?
  • What kinds of miracles does God do?
  • Aren’t some things like levitating only done by demonic power?
  • How can I know if a supernatural occurence is from God or not?
  • What about counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders?
  • How can I know if someone is a false prophet or not?

Hope that article helps you. You are also welcome to share the article with anyone who might be blessed by it.

I look forward to seeing what you have to say in the comments section. Please keep it encouraging and uplifting. I would also love to see you sharing some of your own videos of God overcoming the force of gravity or some other faith building miracles — just put your video link in the comment you post and if the video can be embedded I’ll come by and adjust your comment so that your video can play right there in the comment area of this blog post.

One final thought: When the Son of Man (Jesus) comes, will he find faith in the earth? (Luke 18:8)

Let’s build up our faith muscles so we don’t disappoint Christ our Lord when he comes.

God bless you and may you see many more miracles!

P.S.: THIS BLOG POST WAS WRITTEN IN THE INFANCY OF THIS NEW SIGN SO I BELIEVE MORE AND MORE AMAZING VIDEOS WILL SURFACE AS THIS MIRACLE GROWS IN STRENGTH

A Bunch of Leg Growing Miracles — instant growth caught on video

I like instantaneous leg growth miracles. It is amazing watching the shorter leg grow out until it matches the other leg. Often people who have a shorter leg also experience back trouble so correcting the leg problem can fix associated back problems as well.

Where possible, I will include additional information after each video so you can better understand the circumstances of the healing. You will see that we are not dealing with magic tricks here. These are real people with real belief and real doubts and experiencing a testable miracle.

The first video I want to show you is just a few university students who really believe God can do miracles and they were walking around campus letting other students see with their own eyes what God can do.

Several Legs Growing Out Miraculously at Simpson University

Here is the information shared by the person who posted this video:

Growing legs out are an easy way to get more doors open! The last girl in the video, I missed them growing out her leg, but we just went for it and she got taller. She was completely blown away. — So after Healing Rooms (at Bethel Church), we head out to Simpson for lunch. Were eating, talking about the Kingdom, and then Ryan thinks, “Screw it, I’m never going to see these people again.” He goes to the table right next to us, asks the girl if he could check something. Had her sit down, surely enough, her legs were short. It grew out in front of two of her friends. They left surprised, and weirded out. Ryan wasnt satisfied. He went to the next table of 3 girls. Asked the same thing. All 3 had short legs. The first girl broke the ice. Got healed, prayed for her friend. Her friend gets healed. Her friend prays and the last of the 3 gets healed. We ended up going through some forgiveness and deliverance for one of the girls and she starting crying because she never felt so much lightness and freedom since she got saved. She got whacked. They were most shocked with the fact that they saw miracles from their hands. All through this time, we had BSSM 1st-years around us, because they were randomly flowing in and out for lunch (we grew their legs too, some of them, they had no idea their leg was short) By the time we left the cafeteria we saw 8 legs grow out. We walked out and we saw a guy sitting down (I thought, haha perfect set-up). Ryan accosted him his leg grew out, and then he asked us to pray for his index finger which was about a quarter-inch short. It grew out in less than 10 seconds. Haha. There were two guys standing next to him who refused our generous offer. For the next hour, we stopped Bethel students on their way to lunch, grew out their legs, Ryan ran after random Simpson students and said, Hey do you want to see something amazing? Over and over, they would hesitantly come, and sure enough, every single one that was willing, their leg was short, and then it grew! Most of them had never seen a leg grow out, let alone 2 or 3 in one sitting. At least 10 people were activated (they prayed for another for their leg to grow out). I think the total count at the end it was 23 legs that grew out. People were just blown away the real good news gospel. Jesus is alive, and Hes got some dunamis that still works today. — If you want to start walking in healing more consistently, more boldly, at any time, any circumstance, I highly recommend you to listen to this 19-part series. http://www.divinerevelations.info/Documents/Healing/JGL/JGL_Ministries.htm  It is based on the teachings of John G. Lake who was the original founder of the Healing Rooms in Spokane, WA. If you listen to them, and start doing what you learn, I GUARANTEE you will (with boldness) walk in Kingdom power wherever you go.

Now, here is a cool video. A woman with a leg that is 1 and a half inches shorter than the other gets prayed for. She felt her leg being stretched and pulled supernaturally so she thought maybe she was being fooled. Thinking that maybe someone was doing the old pull your shoe trick, she takes off her shoes and discovers that her legs really are the same length after the healing. This was a turning point in this woman’s life as you will see in the additional info provided after the video.

Video footage of leg growing out 1.5 inches

Here is the information that was posted with this video on YouTube:

This is a video clip of Frances’ leg growing 1.5 inches at a Bill Johnson Conference in Harrogate, England. She gave her testimony the next day to the whole conference as to the reality of the healing, has seen this video clip and endoreses/verifies it. The miracle (as it is a creative miracle) happened at the end of the Healing On The Streets seminar. Mark Marx of the Causeway Vineyard, N. Ireland, was used in this. Video Clip was taken by Revd Peter Cunliffe, who interviewed Frances immediately after the miracle.

Don’t be cynical! Jesus still does this kind of stuff! (increasingly, in fact!)

One week on, Fran’s healing is now a BBC News Item. YOu can read about it (and hear her own radio interview).

By the time this video clip starts, the leg that was shorter than the other has already grown out until it is longer than the other leg (they asked the girl if she wanted to be taller). Then they pray for the leg that was previously longer so that it matches the first leg prayed for. In all she grew about 4 inches TALLER!

 

Leg grows out half an inch instantly

Here is a video of several people just following God’s leading. What happens is God gives them “clues” (like saying to them “pray for someone with a pink shirt”) and they follow the clues to the people God wants to bless. He leads them to pray for some people and they get to see a leg grow out by God’s power.

Here is the poster’s video description:

Treasure Hunt that occured on March 25, 2009 in Redding, Ca because God is good and He loves to encountered His children…His creation. And because He said we could…

 

Here is another leg growth miracle

Poster’s comment:

One of the many miracles ministered by Rev Steven Lyn Evans on a recent mission in Geneva. “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.” (Mark 16:20)

 

Todd White and Destiny praying for people

The last video I want to leave you with is from Virginia Beach where you will see Todd White and his daughter, Destiny, praying for random people out on the streets. Towards the end of the video you will see a man’s leg grow out about an inch.

Well, there you have it. These are very visible signs of God’s power. These people have lived with very real consequences of a leg being shorter such as shoe inserts, back pain, and limping. But now they are healed thanks to some people taking Jesus at his word when he said that we could heal by his power and authority.
