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.
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!
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.
What would a Holy Spirit Hot Spot look like? I mean what would it look like if there were a place on earth where people could go and experience the supernatural healing power of God?
This time last year, a church in Lakeland, Florida was in the middle of a 6 month encounter with the healing power of God.
It is estimated that over 140,000 people from over 40 nations visited and 1.2 million people watched via the Internet – www.god.tv canceled its scheduled programing and covered the event live.
Countless healing miracles and over a dozen resurrections from the dead took place during these meetings. People attending or watching these revival meetings became inspired to pray for the recovery of sick or dead people and also saw results all around the world.
Let’s take a closer look at the Lakeland Revival through video coverage.
