Healing on the Streets

We are currently outreaching for our Dare to Believe tent crusade.

Last week we were out in Stratford, handing out flyers, witnessing and street preaching. We stopped an older lady and asked if there was any pain in her body; she emphatically replied 'yes!' She told us of lower back pain she has had for years, having received pain killing injections but now facing having to attend a pain clinic and receive large doses of medication.

We sat her down to find a slightly shorter left leg. I told her that Jesus was going to heal her. She said that she was Jewish and believed in God but not Jesus. I told her that it was Jesus who was going to heal her so I was going to pray in His name - she reluctantly agreed. Sometimes we have to press in with praying for people as God can heal them to shake up there beliefs.

I led her in prayer, and even though she said 'in the name of God' not Jesus, when I layed hands on her I certainly called on the Name above all other names! She stood up and said that her back felt better and thanked us for praying with her. She didn't jump around, but it was never the less profound that this lady had received healing in the name of the Messiah she had previously denied. She had actually said 'well He is the Son of God isn't He?' as she got up.

The Son of God touched her body and I believe her heart that day, and we are believing for many more Holy Ghost encounters leading up to Dare to Believe at the end of this month. Glory to God!
