Wrist pain - In Jesus - 06-25-2015

On one of my breaks tonight I saw two young men sitting and talking at the skate park. One had a wrist brace on his left, the other had a tensor bandage on his right wrist. I walked up to them and just pointed at their wrists and explained how I noticed they had those things on their wrists and asked them if they had pain. You will be amazed at how freely people will talk about their wounds with total strangers and not even question it. Very few are so guarded.

The one with the tensor bandage said yes, the other said no, but just when he falls on it, and explained how he had pins and a plate in it and was restricted in movement. I then told them that I pray for people and Jesus heals them and was looking at the one with the tensor bandage as I felt he would probably be more responsive. Just then another skater rolled up and said, "Hey, you did that last year to me." I sort of recognized him as the young man, Alex, that I had made a video of here: Jesus takes away knee pain.

He definitely looked older though, so I qualified my thinking by pointing at the exact spot we met and asked if that was them smoking pot over there that one time. He said ya, that was me. He mentioned that he hurt his wrist though, not his knee. Maybe too much pot, haha. The funny thing is, before this young man, Alex, said this, the guy I thought would be more responsive didn't really look that way after hearing about me praying for people, but then after Alex mentioned the time I prayed for him, he was totally open to the idea. This very same thing happened in the video with Alex. He initially didn't want me to, but once his friend encouraged him to because something similar happened to him, he was ok with it.

The other guy I could tell wanted nothing to do with it, but he continued to sit there and listen. Julian was the name of the young man with the tensor bandage. I found out from Julian that the pain was a 2 or 3 out of 10 just sitting there. He let me pray, so I put one of my hands under his then the other over and commanded his wrist to be healed and the pain to go in Jesus' name. I could see the other young man smiling away thinking it was all funny. Julian said the pain had reduced some so I prayed again, and it came down yet again. He said he could still feel a little bit though. I pointed at the specific spot one more time but it wouldn't go completely. I asked Julian what he thought about it and he wasn't sure. I then shared the gospel with Julian. He listened mostly but was a little distracted by Alex. He did hear most of it though and afterwards seemed genuinely thankful for the prayer and the things to think about. I asked the other young man if I could pray for him and told him about how I know Jesus can even take away the metal in his wrist and restore full mobility but he said no, he was good. If I had more time I would have offered to pray for Alex again too but I thought I should return to work.

Jesus is Lord!!!

I'm going to start sharing more testimonies. I stopped for a long time. I know they encourage me to see what God does through others, so I shouldn't hold back what God might do through others by sharing what He does through me.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works Hebrews 10:24

Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!

Wrist Injury, and man walks better than before - In Jesus - 06-11-2013

Today at work I had the opportunity to pray for a co-worker who had injured her wrist a day or two before. She mentioned the pain at a level of about 5 out of 10. After one commanding prayer in the name of Jesus, there was no change, after the second time it was reduced to 3 out of 10, to her surprise. Prayed one more time and no change. I held her arm for a minute or two this time while I shared a testimony from yesterday and then asked her to check it again, still no further change. I told her I believe it will be completely better before tonight was over. I later saw her at another break and she no longer had the wrist brace on, and said it was better still yet. Not sure if there was any pain left at all though. She was sitting with another girl I got to pray for last year and whom the Lord took pain from her back. I told the girl from today that I prayed for the other girl she was sitting with and God took pain away from her and she agreed saying "Oh ya, my back!" Hehe, glory to Jesus! Fish'em in Lord!

I got to pray for a man who was in a wheel chair and had been afflicted with a flesh eating virus a few years ago. That had caused him to not be able to walk very well. He could with a walker though, he said. I shared the gospel with him briefly and then prayed for him. I asked him to try walking and at first he fell back into the motorized wheel chair. He wanted to try again. I helped him this time. We walked about 10 feet away from the chair and back again. He sat back down with a grin on his face and said that was better than he has ever done before. He felt more strength. I told him that I believed he was going to continue to improve and never need the use of that chair again. He said he would think more about this Jesus I told him about and thanked me for telling him about Him and praying for him. He did not want to ask Jesus to be His Lord just yet.

BLESS GOD!!!

Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!
