Residual Miracle
PNatey (30 yrs) - As a youth pastor and leader in the body of Christ, I have the unique mission of empowering young people to give life as they are bold witnesses for Christ. And I'm honored to write that the mission is happening! Praise God for students who are unashamed and fearless when it comes to reaching people. One day I was out with a number of students in Dogwood Terrace. We came across a large group of people (about 30) and we all split off to talk to folks and minister to them. I cornered a couple of older ladies and asked them if they needed prayer. One of them asked me to pray for a rison that she had under her arm. It had caused her pain for several weeks and would not go away. I spoke to the pain and commanded it to leave...and it did! She was so ecstatic. Immediately after I prayed, the other lady said, "Wow! My headache is gone, too!" That's what we call a residual miracle! I didn't even pray specifically for her, but the power of God flowed through her as well. They were both excited about what God had done and accepted Christ as their Savior right on the spot.

Three
Clayton (20 yrs)- I made my way over to a house, where a man was sitting on his porch reading. I approached him, introduced myself, and offered prayer. He asked for prayer for his family and for healing. he suffered from constant pain due to arthritis in both hands and was unable to straighten his hands or make a fist. I layed my hands on his, and prayed for healing. I prayed a total of three times and each time I asked "How do they feel?" He tried to move his hands and told me that the pain was getting better. I proceeded to explain to him about Jesus but he stopped me to say, "I don't feel any pain in my hands." He stretched out his hands and clenched them into fists. After witnessing his own healing, he was thoroughly open to what I had to tell him about the gospel and I was able to lead him in the prayer of salvation.
Fire Ants
Jason- My team and I were in Harrisburg, when I noticed a man walking down the street with what appeared to be blisters all over his arms. When I asked him about it, he explained that the "blisters" were actually fire ants bites. He said the doctors had given him some prescription steriods to dry the poison out, but they had no affect. With his consent, I prayed for the healing of his arms. I said "amen" and opened my eyes; the bites were gone! The man was shocked and speechless. He then gave me a hug and went on his way.
The Unexpected
Cathy LaMunion- I met a named Chris on Saturday, July 17. I led him to his Savior, Jesus, in prayer thinking that I would never see him again; resting assured that he was saved!
However, one week later our paths crossed again and I knew immediately something was different about him. I confronted him and had to press him to share the difference with me. he proceeded to tell me that since he accepted Jesus, he had not been out clubbing or to any bars. the desire was gone! I had the opportunity to pray with him again; but this time about getting a job. I encouraged him to keep believing that God was going to take care of him. I can't wait to see him again and here him testify about the great job that I know the Lord has given him.
