This morning on my way to work I asked the Lord Jesus to glorify Himself in me and through me.
On my lunch walk today (I walk for all my lunches and breaks at work) I prayed for a beautiful young black girl who I thought I had a word of knowledge (WOK) for, for back pain and a shorter leg. Turns out her leg was shorter but she had no back pain. However she said her boyfriend did. It was her right leg that was shorter and it grew out about 1/3 of an inch to meet the left within about 3 seconds as I spoke to it, saying "In Jesus' name right leg grow out." She had those rubber slip-on shoes (Crocs) on initially but she took them off before I held her feet up off the ground in front of her to check her leg lengths. I simply knelt down in front of her as she was sitting on a bench and held her heals up, and together, so I could check and then show her, so she could watch it all happen. She thought that was pretty crazy, but she knew He (Holy Spirit) gives us power as she said "He gives us power." (Acts 1:8) when I asked her "Isn't that crazy?" I also prayed for her boyfriend and believe the Lord has removed his back pain as well. I encouraged her that she could do the same for others. I explained to her not to ask God to do it, but to command it to happen in His name, because Jesus already bore our sicknesses and carried our pains (Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 8:17) and commanded the disciples to do it, telling them to "heal the sick" and to speak to the problem (Matthew 10:8, Mark 11:22-24), rather than asking the Father to do it for them. I also said that we as His followers were given authority, just as the disciples were (Luke 10:19). She seemed very encouraged. I won't lie, it was kind of nice to minister to a beautiful girl too,. She had gorgeous eyes! :)
At afternoon break I was walking toward the bridge and saw an elderly white woman with a walker waling up ahead of me. As I saw her I felt a tinge and a pain in my right hip tendon and thought that was a word of knowledge for her. I rushed to catch up to her, as I turn back to work at a certain point on that bridge. I met her right where I usually turn back. Before I reached her though I yelled out "Excuse me, do you have pain in your right hip?" She stopped and turned and nodded her head yes. I told her that God just told me that. She either didn't hear me or didn't expect me to say that so she asked me what I said. I repeated. She let me pray and the pain went down to almost nothing the first time. I commanded the pain to leave in Jesus' name two more times and the last time was just a light tap to her hip with a quick "Pain GO!" She was already walking away and said "It is MUCH better!" She was a born again believer too and thanked me.
On my walk home I saw a Filipino man walking out of a building I walk past and noticed he had a tensor bandage around his right forearm. I approached him and asked about pain in his arm. He said he had tennis elbow. He let me pray and after a few commands in Jesus' name to be healed and telling the pain to go, he said the pain was all gone. He took the tensor bandage off and held my backpack and flexed his wrist up and down to test it out. I asked him if anything like that had ever happened to him. He said no, that was the first time ever. I asked him about faith in Jesus and he said he was born catholic and that they respect Jesus. I shared with him about a relationship with God, being born again, being baptised by submersion in water for the remission of sins, and about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He mentioned about how they pray for the Holy Spirit to come upon them when they pray. I told him about how Jesus said He will send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and He will be with us forever (John 14:16) and that Jesus said He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), and that He comes to live in us (Galatians 2:20) who believe and follow Him. He was encouraged and thanked me too.
Jesus is my LORD! And He lives inside me! And He answers prayers!
I find that I minister to the saints a lot when I am out and about. It just seems to be the way the LORD uses me (Hebrews 6:10) more so than to the lost.
Thank You LORD!!!
Is He your LORD too?
John 14:12-15, Mark 16:15-18, Matthew 10:7-8
Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!

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!

Knee Healing and Salvation - In Jesus - 05-27-2015 [Video]
This story begins shortly after 9:30 PM as I was out walking on my last break from work for the evening. I had just finished walking past the Gandhi statue just outside of the new Canadian Human Rights Museum and following along the path they call the Broadway Prominade. I heard a man behind me groan in pain. I turned to see a man close to the same age as me walking toward me. I allowed him to catch up to me and then I continued with him asking him if he was in pain. He said "Yes.", and groaned again. I asked him if I could pray for healing for him and what he was dealing with. He said yes, and that it was his knee, his ACL and groaned again in agony. At this point we had arrived at the Peace Meeting site. I found that his pain was a 10 out of 10. We stopped there and I placed my hand on his knee and commanded it to be healed in Jesus' name and then a couple seconds later, he said "No way! No way! I don't even believe this. I don't believe in that." I told him that it was Jesus who healed him and that He was really real and He wants him to believe in and follow Him. We talked some more then I asked him if he could testify for others to see what Jesus did. He agreed. This is where the video comes in.
As you can tell, he was drunk too. He got some of the details mixed up so I tried to help him along. He also didn't sit down to test it out, but that makes no difference. We all remember things differently, especially when drunk, haha. And I can tell he tried to add a little showmanship by saying "Praise Jesus" and "Praise the Lord" a lot. He wasn't talking that way before or after the camera was on.
We talked a bit more after this and he started to become really broken up. He was almost in tears. I asked him if he would like to truly give his life to Jesus and to forsake his sins and to follow Jesus whole heartedly. He agreed. So we prayed. He let me pray over him after that and I bound any spirits of addiction and then asked Jesus to baptise him with the Holy Spirit. He sighed with relief and said that he really needed that. He said that he felt so good inside. He shared with me about how he was seriously contemplating suicide. He was thinking of jumping off a near by bridge. He said he won't be thinking that way any longer. He wouldn't stop hugging me. haha. Bless God!
Oh ya, he also told me that he was the brother of Adam Beach, the famous Anishinaabe actor who stars in the Windtalkers with Nicolas Cage. I honestly forget this man's first name. I think it was unique, which is why I forget it. He has my number though. So hopefully he calls and wants some discipleship.
Thank You Jesus for your goodness and grace. Make it a reality and a complete turn around in Mr. Beach's life. Amen!
Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!
