Soup and a Prayer – Prophetic Ministry in the Everyday

About nine years ago, I met Barbara and her husband Roy. She was admitted to the hospital for a stem cell transplant and we met at that time. She has since been cancer-free for many years, and we were able to reconnect years later when she tracked me down over social media.

Recently she shared an encounter she had as she was going about her day and just being intentional about hearing and obeying God as she went about her day. This is reminiscent to me of the directive that Jesus gave the disciples in Matthew 10:7-8 which says, “As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” It wasn’t that she went to have a “full time ministry” job of some kind, but that she chose to be intentional about ministering to others in her “as you go” daily life. I hope the testimony below encourages you “as you go” about your daily life as well!

 

Soup and a Prayer

I am beyond excited. As I got in my car to run my errands I said okay Lord, put me on. What’s on your agenda? And immediately came to my mind was “Go to Shari’s and order a bowl of soup. There will be a man wearing a plaid jacket that I want you to pray for.”

I did my errands and waited for my ‘soup run’ at the end of that time, feeling that was the way I should go. Before I went into Shari’s I asked the Lord for specific conditions that I would be praying for. I wrote them down so I could show the man a page of things I had already written before I met him so it would just add to the authenticity of God’s divine direction.

I went in, found a table, and ordered my bowl of loaded potato soup. That’s a bowl mind you, as instructed, not a cup, and I couldn’t finish it all so brought half home for my husband Roy. I finished and went to check out and still hadn’t seen anyone who fit the description God gave me. As I sat waiting for my turn to pay and a man walked in to order a pie. He was wearing a plaid jacket!

After this man made his transaction I engaged him in conversation and told him basically what I told you. I asked him if he had any of the conditions that were on my list, which I showed him, and he said his wife was at home sick with vomiting . . . so I checked that off the list. Next came knee and back problems, both of which he had! I learned his name is Ben, and he’s a believer. I got to joyfully pray for him and encourage him.

it brings me to tears to think of the measures that God goes through to get people’s attention, to let them know how much they are loved. I told Ben, I said “Do you realize God has His eye on you, and how much he loves you that he would set it up for me to pray for you?” I let him know how extravagant God’s love was for him to send me to specifically seek Ben out so he could be prayed for and encouraged. I’m just saying this is the best half bowl of soup I’ve ever had. I’m jumping for joy!

Praying Medic has mentioned that he plans to make additional courses in the future on hearing God’s voice, seeing in the spirit, and more, so stay tuned for future updates on new and exciting opportunities to learn how to share God’s love with demonstrations of the Spirit’s power.

For those who are unfamiliar with Praying Medic, he has been a Paramedic for over three decades.  In 2000, while an atheist, he encountered Jesus in the bunk room of a fire station and that encounter radically changed the course of his life.  In 2008 the Lord spoke to him in a dream and told the Medic that He would heal his patients if he would be faithful to pray for them.  Praying Medic didn’t believe in healing at the time, but he began to pray.  In 2009 he began a blog, the Mobile Intensive Prayer Unit, to chronicle the work God was doing through healing and miracles around the world, as well as to share some of his own experiences of learning to move in healing and miracles.  Eventually he moved over to PrayingMedic.com.  After blogging for years, he published his first book in 2013 called Divine Healing Made Simple, and in 2016 he appeared on Sid Roth’s show Its Supernatural (the video is below).

He often writes about healing, but also covers dreams, deliverance, hearing God and seeing in the spirit, spiritual travel, politics and economics, and more.  He infrequently speaks at conferences and other training events, preferring to focus on writing books, podcasting, and now teaching online courses.

Furious Love – God’s Love Prevailing in Darkness

A while back, I shared video clips from a documentary featuring God’s miracles around the world: The Finger of God

Today, I want to share video clips from the follow up film, Furious Love, documenting God’s love prevailing where evil and darkness tend to be strongest. The film puts God’s love to the test and finds out just how powerful His love really is.

The entire film can be ordered on DVD or accessed and watched online.  A Deluxe Edition is available on Amazon as well.

Here are some random clips from this spectacular film. Please understand that these clips should only be considered a sampling — They do not represent the entire film and are placed in no particular order (although I tried to keep clip sets together). Also, it should be noted that the clip from the former Satanist may have come from the bonus material or even the Deluxe Edition as I don’t remember seeing this much of the interview when watching the film.

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!”

Greatest Healing Miracle of the 20th Century – The Delores Winder Story

Sid Roth, host of the TV show It’s Supernatural, calls Delores Winder’s healing one of the greatest healing miracles of the Twentieth Century.

Delores Winder’s website briefly describes her medical history as follows:

Delores Winder was plagued with pseudo arthritis for nineteen and a half years. She was in a full body cast and neck brace during that time. At the age of 31, her bones were aged and deteriorating she had the bones of someone in their mid 70s. Delores’s bones continued to deteriorate rapidly, and as a result, her spine, hips, wrists, shoulders, and fingers were so fragile that she couldn’t be touched. Her lungs, heart, stomach, and kidneys were all failing too.

In order to kill the pain, Delores had four spinal fusions and two percutaneous cordotomies (burning out of the nerve centers at the base of the brain), which caused no feeling on the whole right side of her body and on the left side up to her waist.

Delores was making her funeral arrangements and was looking forward to death since it would be a wonderful relief from the agonizing pain she had endured much of her life. Her one concern though was her 14-year-old son. She needed assurance that he would be taken care of in her absence.

Interestingly, God instructed her to go to a conference by Kathryn Kuhlman to find out how he would take care of her 14-year-old son. I say “interestingly” because Delores couldn’t tolerate Kathryn Kuhlman. Delores was very skeptical of Kathryn’s ministry since Kathryn was known to miraculously heal people by God’s power. Delores didn’t believe that miraculous healings could still take place in post-Biblical times so she did not trust Kathryn’s ministry. But since Delores was concerned about her son and had a promise from God that he would reveal his plan for her son if she went to the Kathryn Kuhlman conference, she chose to attend that meeting. It also helped that the particular meeting she was supposed to attend was being hosted by a Christian denomination Delores trusted and the meeting’s focus was not on healing but on the Holy Spirit.

That meeting would change her life. Not only did God reveal his plan for her son; but also, he totally healed her and restored sensation to her entire body — something that was medically impossible since the nerve centers at the base of her brain stem had been severed in order to reduce her pain.

This complete healing took place in Dallas, TX on August 30, 1975 after there was no medical hope for her and her only concern was making sure that her son would be taken care of after she died.

Since this healing took place nearly 35 years ago, Delores Winder has had many opportunities to tell her story. The brief summary I have given above does not paint the whole picture and leaves out many details including how she was actually healed. That is because I could never do her story justice. I want you to take the time to watch at least one of the video clips posted below so that you can hear from her own mouth exactly what she experienced and what happened to her.

Stories of Supernatural Healing and Restoration from the IHOPU Student Awakening

Lives continue to be transformed by the power of God flowing through the student body at IHOPU.

Bodies are being healed. Hearts are being mended. Spirits are being transformed!

Amazing testimonies of people getting free are pouring in from all over the world as people get on the internet, watch the awakening meetings, and tune into the Holy Spirit.

You can also see amazing stories from students at the awakening meetings by watching the stories recorded live at the meetings. (on the gray bar, click on ‘testimonies’)

I have been watching these testimonies and want to share just a few here to wet your appetite to watch more of these stories or, better yet, tune into these awakening meetings to have an experience of your own!

 

This first testimony is just one of many testimonies of God healing his children of physical problems–listen as Christina shares on how God touched her body and healed scoliosis that afflicted her for 29 years.

Christina’s Testimony

 

Here is a wonderful experience of how a young woman was freed from shame that she learned as a result of being abused sexually and raped as a child, and then from the resulting addiction to sexual encounters. Freedom from shame has been a common experience as these students encounter the love of God.

Summer’s Testimony

 

Here are two students who are being freed from addictions to cigarettes, drugs, media, pornography and all kinds of other substitutes for the love of God.

Luke’s Testimony

 

Monty’s Testimony

 

The experiences happening at IHOPU are not contained to the students who go to the school.  Visitors are coming and getting touched by the power of God.  God is interested in doing things that transcend our understanding of what is possible.  This young woman, Jamison, got healed after hearing of someone else’s testimony of healing.  Watch and let your faith rise!

Jamison’s Testimony

 

People have gotten healed over the webstream!  Listen to Bobbi’s story of healing–both in the past and present!

Bobbi’s Testimony

 

The experiences these students are having are not at all contained to these meetings. Students are going home and seeing their families transformed by God’s love and healing power. They are going about their daily business and seeing God leap onto their friends and even strangers to transform those people’s hearts and lives. Here is a great story about a guy who went into Walgreen’s to buy some ice cream and ended up seeing four strangers have a supernatural encounter with God’s life-transforming love and power!

Neil’s Testimony

 

 

One of the most common and powerful healings God is doing is healing people from self-hatred.  Watch the following two testimonies of people who have gotten healed from self-hatred–one even got physically healed as well!

Jennifer’s Testimony

 

 

God is not content to live at a distance from his children. People have put up an imaginary line across the sky and have thought that God should be confined in the heavens. But he will not be confined. Especially when a generation of young people are no longer content to have mere theoretical ideas about God. We are a generation of people who want the real deal. We want to experience him, know him, and love him. God has heard his children’s heart-cries. He is responding in a big way. He doesn’t want to live only in heaven. He wants to live in our hearts!

IHOPU Student Awakening – God’s Spirit Healing Hearts & Setting People Free

What happens when God invades a student campus and totally displaces the theology professors’ lesson plans and the students start actually experiencing the healing power of Gods love?

Hearts are healed and minds are set free from stuffy religious philosophy! In short, lives are changed forever.

Wes Hall was a practicing lawyer before he started teaching at IHOPU (International House of Prayer University). On November 11, 2009 in a 9am freshman class, Wes was surprised to find that instead of a bunch of sleepy students he had a class full of students having heart to heart encounters with the living God. Physical and emotional healings were taking place and the students were responding to God’s amazing love and healing with tears and joyful laughter.

Being a man of God, Wes realized he needed to cautiously allow God to be sovereign in his class.

“Once a lawyer, always a lawyer” Wes interviewed his students one at a time later to find out if they were from the kinds of church backgrounds that were given to emotionalism and shaking and so forth. He was surprised to find out that his students had never experienced this kind of emotional encounter with God before and some of them had even made fun of people who shake and laugh during church services thinking that only “flaky” people do that kind of thing. He became convinced from the student’s testimonies and the evidence of the physical healings that this was truly a move of God and that he should stay out of God’s way.

The students and their teacher had experienced the living God and their lives would be changed forever.

But the story doesn’t end there!

When other teachers found out that God was doing a special work in Wes Hall’s class, they joined their classes with his class so that their students could also experience the love and power of God.

Soon the whole campus was experiencing a Holy Spirit led awakening. The students have received all kinds of wonderful healings and their eyes have been opened to the wonderful grace of God.

The students began holding special prayer and worship meetings that continue to this day. These meetings are focused on enjoying the manifest presence of God. Each week these meetings are posted on their website and you can even watch a live webcast of the meetings if you tune in at the right time. As you scroll down at the above link, you will see that student testimonies of healing are also available to view.

Many people have also experienced the real power of God just by tuning into these online webcasts and focusing their hearts on Jesus. Those tuning in have had their hearing restored, been freed from depression, delivered from lung cancer and many other healings.

I have been watching these webcasts to aid my personal devotional time and it has been absolutely wonderful soaking in the living presence of our Lord.

Here is a brief summary of how the student awakening began as told by Wes Hall. You can see in the video how this once very dignified lawyer has been affected by the reality of God’s presence flooding into him. He makes reference to Ezekiel 47 where the prophet experiences a trickle becoming a stream and finally a full blown river of life going into the sea.

Experiencing the Power of Jesus’ Love – Miracle Healings and More Out on the Streets

Todd White’s life has been transformed by the love and power of Jesus Christ. The love of God overflows the heart of Todd and people who are around him are transformed by the miraculous love of Jesus.

Todd doesn’t think that God is just for the church-goers. He remembers that Jesus taught that the good shepherd will leave the 99 sheep in the pen (the church) to go out and find that one lost sheep wandering in the wilderness.

So, Todd walks the streets of urban centers and as he walks he watches and listens. He watches for anyone who needs healing – whether physical or spiritual. He also listens to the Spirit of God who tells him the needs of the people around him. Each of these people come into an amazing encounter with the powerful love of God.

I have already posted some videos of Todd out on the streets listening to people’s hurts and sharing the healing power of God’s love with them and the videos show people being miraculously healed by God’s power.

Today I am posting some new videos that I have uncovered of God’s love and power overflowing from Todd’s life.

I hope you are as blessed as I was when I watched these videos documenting the miraculous power of God’s love touching people.
