Walk This Way

Harry (14 yrs) - I was with Jason (16 yrs) at Oak Pointe. We were about to leave and go back to church. We saw a guy about a block away on the other side of the street. We chased him down and didn’t notice he had a cane until we got up close to him.  He looked like he didn’t want to talk to anyone. We asked him if he’d like to walk without the cane. He said he needed 2 hip replacements but had no insurance to get it done and was going to have to pay out of pocket. He was actually very open to what we had to say. We commanded whatever was wrong to be healed. Jason took his cane away from him. When he walked this time his steps were bigger than they had been before. We laid hands on him again. This time he said all the pain was gone. As we drove off we noticed he had his cane under his arms and he was walking normally.

Go for Broke!

Grayson (13 yrs) - I was with Wesley when we encountered a girl with broken toe. We had just heard about Harry and Jason running after people to pray for them for healing; so we ran up to this lady and asked her why she was having trouble walking. She said her toe was broken. We asked if we could pray and she said yes. She was better after we laid hands on her and she asked, "What was that?" So we explained the gospel to her and she prayed the prayer of salvation.

No More Sprain or Pain

Grayson (13 yrs) - I was with Eden (7 yrs) in Cherry Tree Crossing. We prayed with a lady named Denise. We noticed that she was sitting holding her ankle. She said she had just fallen down the stairs and sprained her ankle.  We prayed for her and commanded her ankle to be healthy and strong.  Afterwards, we told her to test her faith by walking and her limp was gone!  She was able to walk perfectly after we laid hands on her and prayed.

My First Miracle

Lindsey (13 yrs) - Hope and I were in one of the communities we visit often and there was a lady walking with her kids. We approached and asked if there was anything we could pray with her about.  She told us she had back pain and internal pain.  I asked her if I could lay hands on her and she said that would be fine. I took authority over the pain in the name of Jesus. After we prayed, she said the pain was immediately gone. This was the first healing miracle I have experienced at my own hands.

The Cure for Cancer

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to preach on a Sunday morning while the pastors were out of town.  I preached a message called Superhumans about knowing our true identity and unleashing our powers to save a lost and dying world (or something like that...get the CD for the full message).  After the worship team sang "Healer" by Hillsong, I was inspired to have people minister healing to each other and had those who needed healing in their bodies raise their hands.  I asked those around them to minister to them.  I also had people who didn't feel comfortable raising their hands to place their hands on themselves where the pain or sickness was and I began commanding healing to come and various sicknesses to leave.  I remember speaking specifically to cancer and tumors and other maladies.  We got an e-mail a week and a half later from a lady who had been diagnosed with cancer.  She did as instructed and then went home after the service feeling a little ill.  Later that week she had an appointment with a doctor who was planning to surgically remove all of the cancer that he could.  After examining her and running various tests, he came back in the room and exclaimed, "I don't know what happened, but the cancer is GONE!"  Praise God for being the ULTIMATE cancer cure!

Empowerment

PNatey (30 yrs) - As a youth pastor, I often get the opportunity to speak for chapel services at various Christian schools or clubs.  I was at Hope Christian School for their second chapel service of the school year and I had a specific message for them about being a witness through the Show and Tell Gospel based on Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 and what he meant by the word witness.  The gospel is meant to be told and demonstrated through the divine seal of miracles and supernatural gifts.  After the message, I told them we'd have a demonstration.  Little did they know that they would be the ones demonstrating my message.  By the word of knowledge, I called out those with neck pain.  There were 3 students who came forward for healing in this area.  I called for 3 students who believed my message was true and were willing to pray for those who had come forward for healing.  Three brave students stepped up and I coached them through working a miracle.  All 3 students were healed instantly.  We continued to have a variety of instant healings including a girl with ringing in her right ear, a guy with heart problems who was told he'd need surgery within the year or there'd be a 50% chance he'd die, a girl with pain in her knee and a guy with two sprained fingers.  All of these students were healed through other students who were bold enough to step out of their comfort zone and minister to their peers.  Praise God for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry!

Welcome to the Family

Stephen (14 yrs)- I asked Christ into my life only a couple of months ago and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit even more recently than that. As you can imagine, I was super excited for the outreaches Good News Church was having. I hardly ever missed a meeting during the first two weeks of IMPACT but this particular day stuck out to me. Wesley and I were at East Augusta Commons when we met two ladies and several children standing on a porch. Wesley presented the gospel and both women were saved.  However when one of the ladies started walking, I noticed that she was in a great deal of pain. She explained that she had arthritis in her knee. After we told her about the miracle of God's healing power, I laid hands on her and spoke to the arthritis. She was a little better...so wetook authority over the disease again and the pain in her knee was completely gone. She was as excited as I was!  Earlier I said that this particular day stuck out to me and that's because that this incident was MY first healing miracle. The fact that I am still a young christian doesn't mean I can do anything less than anyone else in my new church family. The same power flowing through them flows through me too. I'm looking forward to giving more life to others; there are more miracles to come!
