I met a man this morning on the desperation street of life. He was on a wheelchair in some obvious pain. He could hardly move with his wheelchair. He met me, but he does not know what God has already had in store for him today.
After we talked and shared our life stories, I encouraged his heart to trust the Lord. He opened his heart to give his life to the Lord Jesus and to ask Him to be his Lord and Savior. He unburdened every sin, everything that weighed him down for a long time. He was going to have surgery on his kneecaps soon after our meeting today. He is desperate for God to intervene because he could not live like this any more.
He humbly asked God to heal him and to save him from all these loneliness and pain and hurt. I led him to the Lord, and after the prayer I prayed for his kneecaps and his back. "In the name of Jesus, I command you kneecaps to be restored, to be healed in Jesus Name. Back pain leave him now in Jesus name. Amen." After the prayer, I asked him to check his back and to do something he has not done for a while. He stood up out of his wheelchair, walked and turned around a few times, bent his knees. The back pain was gone instantly.
There was still some pain and discomfort on the right knee, I knelt down, put my hands on his knees again and command all the pain to leave him and never return in Jesus Name."
After that I was the one pushing the wheelchair out of the room for him, he walked more than 100 feet to the end of the hall and to sit down. He could walk now. Thanks be to God. I came back a few days later to see how he is doing. He said, the back pain is gone completely. The kneecaps are doing fine. He is grateful.
God is able to use you; He is able to use anyone of us as we submit to Him and obey his command to go, preach the Gospel, heal the sick in His name, ...Signs and wonders will follow those servants who dare to obey God and to do what God has called them to do in Jesus Name.
The results are up to God. He is the Healer. God is good.

Saved and Delivered from Detox
It was a cloudy Wednesday afternoon, along the street of life, sat a lonely woman who was wrecked because of the drugs she has allowed to be in her body. Sitting there waiting for the Detox, she was crying out to God to save her and to deliver her. She used to follow God a long time ago, but has wandered away from God.
Today, God has a divine appointment with her to set her free. He has heard her cry to God and sent me to meet and to pray over her.
As she proceeded to tell me about her life story and all the negative things, the addiction and so on, I felt compelled to stop her right there and asked her "what she would like to ask God to do for her right now?" She said I want God to heal me and to set me free. I then asked her do you believe God can set you free right now? Finally she said yes. Great.
Put out your hands and I will anoint you and pray over you right now. So I led her to the Lord and after her confession to God, I prayed for her asking God to save and to deliver her from her addiction.
Instantly she feels a sense of peace come over her. The burden is lifted off. She still feels a little bit in her heart, and therefore I prayed one more time for her to ask God to deliver her completely.
God did it. She left that place a new creature, a smile appeared on her face and she is relaxed knowing that from now on her life will be different. She has dedicated her life to live for God and to sin no more.
Thank you God for using me to bring hope to the least of these among us here on earth.

Be Filled with the Holy Spirit...
The Revival Conference is a life-changing experience for me this weekend. I am where God has put me to be. Here I am to worship; Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that you're my God. New Wine song is great. The music worship team is incredible. They are right there being led by the Holy Spirit of God to lead us in worship and in praise.
The Spirit gives us freedom to worship with joy and gladness and healing in our hearts, minds, souls and spirits. The speakers are down to earth, humble yet powerful, mightily anointed to deliver the messages with authority and power from on high. I don't know about you, but I remember the "Chihuahua" now and how to handle it in my life.
The Spirit of God touched me. I feel so free in my spirit to dance, to jump, to lift my hands toward heaven to worship my God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He moves me to tear as I pray for people. My heart is full of joy which I have not experienced for a long long time.
God is awesome. He is great. The Holy Spirit is moving among us mightily and His presence is so strong at different times of the Conference. People fell down as they were touched by the presence of God and His power surged through them like electricity, like heat...
I've got drunk of the Holy Spirit, dancing in His presence; my legs could not hold me up till I fell over down onto the floor. Jesus gives me a new heart, a new love for Him. Awesome God we serve.
This morning, I was called to bring someone some clothes. He is homeless and did not care for himself at all. I brought him some clothes, and I gave them to someone to give to him. I thought I am done. I moved on meeting, talking with other people.
As I walked by his place again this morning, I was hearing God speaking to my heart to turn around to go and pray for him. Pray? He is not in a good position to receive prayer.
I was trying to talk myself out of God's calling me to pray over this man. I obeyed and turned around to go and pray for him, but I was standing outside his room before entering it with tears in my eye. No Lord. He is filthy; He is bad. I will pray for him after he is cleaned up. I am also angry at the devil for lying to this man, stealing from him his life and trying to kill him with sickness and disease. I am empowered by the Holy Spirit and the heart of Jesus touched my heart again, I opened the door and greeted him. Jesus sent me here to pray over you. Do you know Jesus? After encouraging his heart, I prayed for him.
What a blessing to pray for this homeless man this am. His legs, feet are eaten by maggots; filth, darkness and spirit of death on him. Jesus sent me in. I then realize that Jesus was in the room with me. A moment before, I was crying outside, did not really want to come in.
Now Jesus took over my heart and compelled me to love him and prayed for him; I laid my hand on him and prayed over him in the Name of Jesus. Maggots die in the Name of Jesus...A sense of peace entered the room, the filthy smell is no longer as bad. I am glad to pray for this man today as the first step of obedience after the encounter with God.
God has touched him, and he is at peace with God.

Broken Heart Healed and Soul Delivered in Jesus' Name
What a smile! What a joy! What a big transformation taking place in the life of this young lady who just met Jesus along the way. What a powerful testimony she has already given on the things Christ Jesus has done for her.
I met her a day ago on the road of desperation; depression was the things that dominated her thinking; no more desire to live; sadness was all over her face; the feeling of unworthiness was strong. No emotion. No tear because the pain was so great.
The Lord impressed upon my heart to pay close attention because He is going to deliver her. He is going to save her. Today is her day, a new beginning is about to take place, and she does not know it yet. In God's time everything is made beautiful.
Indeed, through honest and transparent confession and repentance, the healing has come; forgiveness of self and others are a reality. The iniquities, the sins committed in the past were forgiven; her faith in God, in Jesus Christ is restored.
Her life is changed because Jesus has met her; and the countenance is already lit up with beaming joy all over her face.
My friend also noticed her new changes too. Just one day, one encounter with God and things changed for the better. Praise be to God. A new life has begun.
By the grace of God, I was just there at the right place and right time to bring the Word to her, to bring hope to her, to deliver to her the message that God loves her; I was just being the simple instrument in the hands of the Master, and He was able to use me to bring healing, deliverance and forgiveness to her.
Forgiveness is the main key to healing. The anger is released. The pain is lifted off. The physical pain is also lifted off her shoulders. She is being made whole by the power of God in the Name of Jesus. His Name is Wonderful.
What a privilege to witness how Jesus heals right in front of my eyes. As we talked, she mentioned the pain in the back caused by a car accident some time ago, and the pain lingers long and hard.
After talking to her and encouraging her to put her hand on the back pain and pray with me, after the prayer, the back pain is gone immediately. I checked back with her and her friend a few hours later. No more back pain! Praise be to God. I encourage her to have it check again and verify by her doctor and let the doctor evaluate her regarding the back pain.
God is wonderful and mighty in power. I have a lot to learn, but i know the source of power is from the Lord. He is the Healer. Whatever He wants of me, however He wants to use me, to whomever He sends me to minister, I will go to wherever He will send me whenever He commands me to do.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He is my Healer, my Redeemer, my Deliverer and My God.

Revival Conference Is Here. Be Ready.
Today is the day set aside for the pastors who are already here for the 2009 Revival Conference, Fresh Oil & New Wine.
Check out www.vbcweb.org. See the worship live when it happens.
Revival is in the air. It is coming near us. Houston, are we ready? America are we ready? Is the world ready? God is looking for those who are ready to bless them with His glorious presence.
The 100-years prophecy spoken by William Seymour and Charles Parham about Houston that it will experience a mighty Pentecost which will surpass the Azusa Street Revival or any revival before it is now before us to pray even more diligently.
The anointing is following that Presence. Awesome signs and wonders are expected to manifest among us. We are here to listen to the Word spoken to our hearts and minds.
Pastors and members from Vietnam, Europe, Australia, Canada and 28 states in USA are going to be here.
The weather is cool, more rain is forecast to pour. The cold front is coming, but we pray that it will pass us by fast.
We are praying for a mighty downpour of spiritual latter rain promised in the Bible. The former and the latter rain together prophesied in Joel 2:23 and James 5:7 will precede the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are praying that more souls will travail in prayers and more unsaved souls will be won into the Kingdom of God.
What will happen to Houston and the vicinities when 5 million souls turn to Christ, marching down the streets, praying everywhere at every bus stop, in every bar, in all restaurants, movie theaters people will be found praying, kneeling by the sidewalks to pray, to sing, to pray in spiritual language, to prophesy...
Lord, You are invited to come and to dwell here with us. Have full control of the Revival conference. It's your Conferencing with us. Have full control over our lives.
"Here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that You're My God..."

Deliverance Ministry - Demons Left
I just met a man on the street of life. He is full of troubles already. Looking very devilish; right away he said his friends would call him the devil and that he was going to hell. He looks very tense with fists curled ready to throw a punch or two. I was standing near him with much caution, just in case he threw a punch and I just had to move out of his way fast.
We found a table with some chairs, sat down and talked a little bit. I felt the Spirit of God led us to meet so that this poor man can be set free today.
Immediately, after sitting down, he turned to me and said, "Would you pray for me that God will deliver me out of this miserble situations." I asked him "Why? What happened? Please tell me." He said demons are possessing him and tormenting him for a while.
After listening to him for a few moments I felt compelled to command the demons to be bound in the Name of Jesus. As I started commanding, his whole body tensed up greatly that the table shook. I felt electricity going through my body.
The demons started to manifest right away. He started to twist and turn on his chair. No one was around to witness. I stood up away from the chair continuing to pray commanding the demons to be bound and cast out of this man. By this time, it happened so quickly that the man was already on the floor falling out of his chair, shook some more on the carpet floor, rolling a little bit. Suddenly, there was calmness. Then he said some demons just left me. Great.
Please get back on the chair. I asked the man how many there are in his body. He just shook his head saying "many". Then he asked me can you pray in tongues to command these demons to leave me. I was waiting for the Lord to lead me next what to do. I felt there are open doors somewhere. If he did not confess his sins or if he leaves a door open somewhere the devil can be cast out and then right away comes back.
Indeed, he was involved in much witchcraft, idol worship and lots of unbelief. He would not want to pray to invite Jesus to come into his life. He would not confess his sins. He pointed then to his head and asked me to pray for healing there.
I prayed over him, but at this time, I felt that he is not ready to be delivered. I prayed some more for him knowing that I will need to come back the next day to visit him and we will go from there.
Oh Yes, Jesus comes to destroy the works of the devil. I know the devil is mad at me for daring to pray over these people. God is mighty in power. He is more than ready to deliver those who are ready to call upon His Name.
We cannot do God's work with man's power.
Lord, let the anointing come mightily upon us who are called by you to do your works.

Freedom to Worship
Last night at the church prayer meeting of more than 120 people, after the pastor's introduction calling us to prayer for Revival, we opened our hearts, minds, souls and spirits to worship God.
New songs were sung with excitement, joy and gladness. The worship team was wonderful. Yes, New wine, Fresh Oil! We definitely ask, seek and knock on God's door awaiting Him to lead us into the presence of God.
We open ourselves to receive the Holy Spirit, to take in more of Him in our lives, to experience the streams of living water to overflow. Yes, people around seem to feel more at ease to dance in His presence, to lift up their hands to heaven to praise and to worship.
I myself feel a whole lot freedom to dance a few steps as if I never dance before, to shout praises, and to sing as the Spirit of God moves me. It is so good to praise God and to spend time in His presence. All other things are secondary. He is the main thing; God is the main focus.
I realize that the mind is so keenly aware of everything surrounding it; the tradition that I grew up in, and sometimes the traditions of man, the thoughts that other people were watching, judging me, prevented me from freely worshiping God.
No more timidity. No more self-consciousness. No more fear of what other people think of me would stop me from praising God; I pray that we can lift up our hearts, minds, souls and spirits to sing new songs unto the Lord and expect the Holy Spirit to move freely among us so that more praises will be lifted up to the Father in heaven.
Jesus is sweeter and sweeter to me day by day.
The anointing of God is stronger in my life as the days go by. Lord help me honor you, and help me use the anointing in a way that glorifies you and brings healing to many.
