"What a wonderful Christmas gift" - In Jesus - 12-24-2013

Today I was going to go for a walk to the local postal outlet to pick up my dad's gift that had been delivered there and I was just at the door about to leave when I believe the Lord gave me an impression that there was a person begging for money at a specific corner which I knew I would be going by. I had the thought that I was to bring a small gift of cash with me to bless him for Christmas. I wanted to be obedient so I did so. I also thought to make him a mix of dried cranberries, almonds and pecans as well. Putting the money in a small ziplock bag with the mixed nuts, I also added a couple gospel tracts and then left my apartment.

On my walk to the postal outlet I found a set of Skull Candy ear buds on the road. Score! I needed a new pair of ear buds. A set of Klipsch S4i Rugged ear buds (Really good!) I had previously, had broken, and I didn't really want to, or felt that I could afford the money to replace them. Thank You Lord Jesus for the early Christmas gift! haha!

I continued on my way and noticed a girl up ahead coming out of a store who had a winter hat on which had a pink skull on either side of her head. As I approached I asked the Lord in my heart if there was anything I could bless her with as in praying for healing for her, or a word. I didn't hear anything immediately and walked past her. I got about 20 feet away and started to feel a pain in my back on the left side. I turned back to ask her if she had any back problems. I could tell she was very uninterested in anything I had to say as she looked at me briefly when I initially asked then she continued walking past me saying "No" without looking back. I followed her slightly explaining that I thought the Lord had told me she did and that I pray for people for healing. She continued on, with her back toward me, and said "Well, I don't need any prayers". I just said "Ok" and let her go.

I got to the corner I had thought the Lord told me about and sure enough there was a young man there with a sign waiting for traffic to stop at the light in hopes that someone might give him some change. I approached him and told him that I felt that God told me to bring this for him, handing him the bag of mixed nuts with the cash visible side up. I told him there was money in there pointing to it and he commented on how he could see that. I also explained that there were some gospel tracts in there explaining about how to have a relationship with God. He seemed somewhat indifferent and said he knew the Lord already. I asked him how he was doing and if he was dealing with any pain or sickness in his body, telling him about how I like to pray for people for healing. He said he was on methadone for the last 8 years. I didn't know what that was for so I asked him, thinking it was for pain, if it was for back pain. He explained how he was on it because he used to be addicted to heroine and they give it to people to help them with withdrawal symptoms. I asked him if he wanted to be free from that. He said he didn't, so I asked why. He seemed to get a little agitated and just said "Because I don't want to". I asked "Shouldn't you be coming off of that too if it was just to help with withdrawal symptoms"? He nodded yes while sort of shrugging his shoulders. I questioned him further about how he thought he knew the Lord and asked him about denying himself and putting to death his sins. He said "No way". I shared with him about repentance and that the word says that if we love the Lord we keep His commandments, and how we become holy and pure as He is holy and pure if we know Him, because His grace teaches us to do so. I admonished him a little about how we need to examine ourselves to be sure that we are in the faith. And shared that if we don't know what the word of God says, and follow it, we can be deceived and not walk as we should, explaining that we don't want to get to God in that last day finding that we were lacking. He seemed to listen intently at this point and in the end agreed with me. He thanked me for the gift and I wished him a Merry Christmas shaking his hand and then left him to continue on to the postal outlet.

I walked beside a coffee shop and noticed a woman with a walker coming out from there heading to the side walk that I was on. I approached her to ask about pain and she commented "Can you tell"? Looking at me with a smile on her face. I asked what she was dealing with and she explained that she was born with a bone deformity and now had arthritis and her feet were really hurting her. I told her I pray for the sick and Jesus heals them and she let me pray for her. I took her hand and in the name of Jesus Christ, I commanded her body to be healed, her bones to come into alignment and for all arthritis and pain to leave her body and feet. Also speaking to any unclean spirits breaking off their hold and commanding them to leave her. It was just a short 20 or 30 second prayer. I finished up and asked her how she felt. She said with a surprised expression "You know, its actually better"! I asked if there was any pain left and she said "No, it's pretty much gone". I laughed and said "Praise Jesus"! She thanked me and said "What a wonderful Christmas gift"! I found out that she was a believer too, so as I explained about how I believed she would not have to deal with that any longer and that if it started to want to come back on her, how she can command it to go from her in Jesus' name and to continue to thank the Lord for healing her. We parted ways, but I ended up running into her again at the postal outlet store and spoke with her some more and she shared about how amazed she was that it was so much better. Thank You Lord!

After picking up my parcel I stopped at an unsaved friend's place to give him a Christmas gift of some chocolates, some coffee and some honey garlic pepperonis, and then went for a walk. After my walk, I decided to stop at a grocery store to buy some salad and some other things for dinner. I found a $16 full lobster on sale for $8.88 so I bought that for my dinner. Mmmm, it was so good :D Haven't had that in years! While I was at the grocery store I met a man who was walking with his cart and seemed to be in a lot of pain. I approached him and he indicated how he was in a lot of pain and had MS. He let me pray and as I prayed he said he felt tingles all over his body and felt much better. He was a believer too. It really amazes me how many Christians I tend to minister to out and about. I will usually question them though, to see if they believe they are born again and have the Spirit of God inside them, being restored to God, and that they are sure they will go to heaven when they pass, just to be sure there isn't something to share on regarding a correct walk and relationship with the Lord.

So that was my Christmas eve day. It was a good day.

Thank You, Lord!

I want to ask that anyone who might be reading this to pray for me as well. I seem to be dealing with some health issues that continue to linger and they must and will go. But I do covet your prayers, and thank you for standing with me. God bless you all and Merry Christmas!

Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!

Pain leaves on a phone call and from a broken arm - In Jesus - 06-14-2013

This evening I got to speak to a gentleman who let me pray for him over the phone. He was experiencing pain in his body, among other health concerns. In Jesus' name I commanded the pain to go and released life to all his body. He laughed when I asked him if he felt better, and said "Yes." I could hear the smile on his face. haha! I told him "You see, the Lord is real and He loves you and wants you to really know Him. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved." He said thank you and we ended the call.

I later met two young men, one of which had a cast on his right arm. He said he had pain at a level 4 out of 10. He let me pray. I took his hand and commanded the bones to be mended and all pain to leave. He said the pain was now at about a 1 out of 10, but could now feel some throbbing in it. I took his fingers and command the pain to go completely, and the throbbing to stop. He reported no more pain and was now feeling tingles in what I believe to be a formerly broken arm. I asked if he had ever experienced anything like that before and if he knew why that was possible. He said he had not, and did not know why. I shared the gospel with them but then found out after (haha) from the other that they were believers and attend a meeting somewhere with other believers. The young man who's arm was healed seemed quite amazed and encouraged by what he had just experienced. I then explained to them that they could do the same things as Jesus did if they have the Spirit of God living inside of them. They encouraged me to keep spreading the truth.

Thank you Jesus for being my Lord and Savior and using me to bring glory to Your name!

Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!

Tingles - In Jesus - 06-13-2013

As I walked back to work during my last break of the evening I met a young native girl who knew the Lord. I noticed her because she had a cast on her right leg. She had fractured it a few days before and had said it was just a temporary one. She said they already took X-rays and she would be getting a real cast next Wednesday. There was no pain. She thought the only way she would be able to tell if it was healed was when they took the cast off. I told her, "Alright, Jesus is going to heal it right now." I held her hand and in the name of Jesus I commanded the bones in her leg to be mended and restored completely. She reported feeling tingles in her leg under the cast and appeared to be almost at the point of tears. At least until she saw a boy she knew and then her countenance changed. I told her to have them check it again when they take the cast off and for her to try walking on it at that time. I believe they will have no explanation as to why it is all healed up. haha! Come on Jesus!!!

Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!

Pain leaves and tingles felt, shaking leaves, and distance is no barrier - In Jesus - 06-10-2013

Today on my way to work, I stepped outside my apartment block door and saw a couple young women coming toward me to get to their vehicle. One girl was walking with crutches and had a tensor bandage around her right foot. I approached them and asked if she was in pain. She said yes and that it was at about a level of a 7 out of 10, with 10 being worst. I explained that I pray for people and God heals them and asked if I could pray for her. She sort of hesitatingly said yes. I asked her her name and then told her mine and put out my hand to shake hers. I then asked to have her hand back just while I prayed. I spoke to the leg and commanded the noticeable swelling to go down, the pain to leave and the tendons and ligaments to be healed, in the name of Jesus. I asked her to see if the pain was there. She said all she felt was tingles. She couldn't feel the pain any longer. I asked if she knew why that was possible. She said "No, why." I retorted, "Because Jesus is Lord." I asked if she knew Him and she said "Well, Sort of." I gave her a gospel tract from Billy Graham Association called Steps to Peace with God as I was on my way to work.

This experience really encouraged me. I love seeing Jesus heal people!

I went for a walk at lunch and got to meet a couple men who I got to share the gospel with. One younger male who I thought I had a word of knowledge for a pain or problem with his left thigh, but was wrong on that. And an older gent in a motorized chair who said he just used it to go farther when he went out, and said he was healthy. Both didn't seem to want what God had to offer at that time, but truth was shared and seeds were planted. I had some fun talking to the older man, and noticed he had the shakes, not sure what that was. But he just sort of constantly shook a lot. So I did get to pray for him for that, but it was at the end of our conversation. I just commanded it to go in Jesus' name while shaking his hand goodbye. I noticed he stopped shaking after that, but didn't question him as to what he felt or thought. I felt to just leave it at that. Initially talking to him he said he believed then changed his mind saying that it seemed like a fairy tale.

Heading back after my lunch walk, I saw a woman walking toward me who was favouring her left foot as she walked. I approached her and asked if she had any pain. She said "Yes, I have a problem with my achilles and I don't want to quit." She had exercise clothing on, so I had assumed she goes for long brisk walks or jogs a lot of the time. I explained pretty much the same thing as I did to the young girl above "I pray for people and God heals them, can I pray for you?" and she thanked me and said she would like that. She continued to walk away though. As she was leaving I continued to talk and asked if I could pray right there and now. She said she had to go or something to that effect. But there was about 6 people taking a photo right in front of her so she had to stop as she didn't want to get in the way of the camera. I shared briefly about the girl who got healed earlier and asked "Are you sure?" but then I decided to just speak to her achilles right from where I was, about 20 feet away from her. I pointed at her foot, and in Jesus' name, I commanded the achilles to be healed and all pain to go, then told her to check it out to see if she could find the pain. She moved around her ankle for a bit and then looked up at me and said, "Well, kind of." It was partially gone. I spoke to it again and commanded all pain to go, thanked the Lord for what He was doing and she basically just turned around, and went to talk to the people who were taking the photo for some reason. I continued on my way. As I was now a little late to get back from lunch, haha.

Jesus, You are awesome!! Thank You for using me.

Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!
