Pain Was Gone in Jesus' Name

A woman was rolling in her bed sick with some kind of infirmity. She did not know what was going on in her body, but the pain was persistent and hurting her. It's been there for a while and would not go away. You can see that pain on her face, and she was groaning in such discomfort. They have done everything they could for me. The pain level was at 8-9, in tear she said.

Have you prayed? I did. I begged God to help me "Please help me God." Let's agree in faith and pray knowing that Jesus is here, "Where two or three gather together in His name, He is there with them." Agree. Is it alright if I anoint you with the oil and lay my hand on your head and pray? Sure. And so I prayed a simple prayer with faith knowing that God will hear my prayer and deliver this woman from her pain.

"In the Name of Jesus, I take the authority over the spirit of infirmity and bind it and cast it out of your body. Pain leave her body now...in Jesus' Name." A radiant joy and smile are evident on her face after the prayer. She sat up, got out of bed and received her healing. The pain was gone instantly. Praise the Lord.

She was healed and happy! Praise the Lord.

God Is More Than Ready to Save

I recently met someone who was involved with satanism, occult and new age. He was attacked many times by demonic forces and the spirit came to talk to him. He felt scared and anxious; feeling pulled more to the evil side than to God. He felt like his future was set for him, and that he could not have any control over it but to do evil things. God is good. He is the God of light. When light shines in darkness, darkness is dispelled.

When I sensed that the Holy Spirit is ready to move to save him, and God's plan for him is always to save, to redeem, to heal and to deliver, I asked him if he is ready to pray to receive Jesus Christ into his heart. He nodded his head. He prays and opens his heart to the Lord and received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Demons were cast out; the spirit that haunted him was bound and cast out. He felt calm and collected; together we praised the Lord for His salvation. Holy Spirit of God moves in and takes control of his life. A new journey has begun indeed.

God is good all the time. He is more than ready to save those that earnestly coming to Him.

A Man in Need

There was a man who drank a lot to numb his pain. The drinking problem became so bad, but he refused treatment or AA group to help address the issue. He sank deeper into drugs, cocaine, marijuana. He even spent his rent money on drugs to satisfy the deep hole in his life. Eventually, he became a homeless man sleeping under a bridge.

He lost a son. Since the death of his son, his wife divorced him; he was laid off. He lost his house, lost his direction in life. His health is declining. He is looking for a place to stay, to have a warm shower, a breakfast; maybe a group home or half-way house would do for him.

What would Jesus do? How will the church help this man to get back on his feet? God is searching for him to show him love. God is needing your help! Did you see this man on the streets of life? Will you stop long enough to hear his story. Maybe God can use you to do something about it.

A Man Spoke in Tongue after Prayer and the Laying of Hand

After the confession, the personal time with God crying out to the Father for forgiveness of sin, the Holy Spirit fell upon a man today, and he spoke in tongue. He was crying tears of joy, feeling God's peace, feeling no more condemnation in his heart, feeling loved by God and having all his sins forgiven. He is a new creature in Christ Jesus; old things had gone and new things have come.

He invited the Holy Spirit to come into his heart. As I prayed for him to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and power to live the victorious life, he started praying in tongue as tears rolling down his cheeks. God visited an unlikely place to save a lost sinner.

I told him Jesus does not condemn you. Go and sin no more. Whom the Son set free, he is free indeed. I am so excited to see God's Holy Spirit works as I go and talk to him today. What a privilege to serve the Almighty God.

A Depressed Man Met Jesus

A man came from an abusive family. His father abused him. He was molested by his grandfather. Growing up, he seems to get into trouble all his life. Joining a gang when he was young, he started to drink alcohol, smoked and used drugs, marijuana, and cocaine.

When a worse moment in his life came, he bought a gun and shot himself in the head. It did not kill him. He felt even more depressed when he saw dad hit his mom; he pushed and threw her against a wall. Now as an adult, both his parents died; suddenly a voice came telling him to poke his fingers to get blood. He seems controlled by spirits of lust, anger, molestation.

Today, he came to hear that there is a loving God who will cleanse him from all the filth, forgive all his sins, and deliver him from the voice that haunted him. He does not want to go to hell, however he expressed that he does not accept Jesus Christ yet as Lord and Savior. I led him to the Lord Jesus, and right away a load of burden was taken off his chest. He smiled and said he never felt this good before. He ran to tell other people about the freedom and transformation that he just experienced.

Praise be to God. God can change your life today! Now.
