On my walk home today I met a first nations man named Wesley. He was walking toward me and had bowed legs. I thought he might have pain in them so I asked him about it as I got up to him. He confirmed he did, and the pain was mostly in the right knee. I explained that Jesus will heal him if he lets me pray for him and he agreed to let me. He said it was an 8/10 pain level with 10 being worst ever. I prayed one time really quick commanding the knee to be healed and pain to go in Jesus' name and he said it was now a 4/10. He let me pray again and he smiled and said "It feels pretty good."
I explained that Jesus was really real, and that He really did die on a cross and really did raise from the grave. He said that he knew that, but that he hasn't been to a church in about 8 years. He stopped going after his wife died and then became a recluse and self chosen exile. I told him that Jesus loves him and wants to give him life, hope, peace, joy and that He was waiting for him to come to Him. I also said that God didn't want him to go to hell for his sins because anyone who is not in Christ will have to answer for their sins in the judgment. I explained that if you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you are following Him then He gives you His righteousness and you won't face God for your sins. I asked him if he wanted to ask Jesus to forgive him and come into his life and be His Lord and lead him. He agreed. Right there on the sidewalk in front of the Manitoba Legislature, Wesley repented of his sins and asked Jesus to be his Lord. He let me pray over him and ask Jesus to baptise him in the Holy Spirit and fire as well.
A young woman stopped by at this point as I was praying for him. She waited a bit then once I finished praying she asked if we were doing ok because I guess she thought he was injured or something. Wesley was standing there with his eyes closed and swaying a bit while I prayed for him. haha! I explained that I was just praying for him, and that Jesus had just healed his knees. She looked at me strangely and said ok then continued on her way.
I gave Wesley my bible since I hardly ever use the printed one any longer and I don't currently have any give-away bibles, and told him to start reading in John and then put the strap marker thingy there for him. I asked him how he felt. He said he felt free, and really good. I asked him about his knees one more time before leaving him and he said he still felt a little bit of pain. I commanded that to go and he was all smiles saying, "It really feels pretty good!" I gave him an hug and he smiled again and said, "Ok, I'll see you again sometime." I prayed for him after we departed that he would becomes a healing evangelist. Thank You Lord Jesus for saving and restoring Wesley today!
Grace, peace and love in Jesus Christ!

John G. Lake’s Secrets of Spiritual Power
John G. Lake’s Secrets of Spiritual Power
1) Spiritual Hunger: (Intense desire)
A desire for the fulfillment of spiritual results – not a desire for more of God. Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. I exercise a position of the dominion and authority of Jesus, and seek to establish that through the power of the Holy Ghost in my life and the life of others. We do not ask God to come and heal, but we demand in the name of Jesus for the devil and his works to depart.
How to develop spiritual hunger / appetite:
The same way you develop physical hunger. Increase energy output which will require greater energy input.
You must force yourself to do the things you normally do not do. Eat when you don’t want to. Eat more often than you are used to. This will stretch your stomach, forcing you to eat more next time just to feel full.
Example: Pray more often, study the Bible more often. Witness more often. Begin to practice what you learn in church.
2) Feeding on the Word of God:
a) Read – take a portion of Scripture and get the overall story.
b) Study – take a verse apart word by word – get definitions.
c) Meditate – think about and say over and over to yourself what you have discovered in this verse. (receive it, believe it, and act on it)
3) Communion with God:
a) Talking Prayer
b) Listening Prayer
c) Practice the presence of the Spirit of God. (A classic: Practice of the Presence of God: The Best Rule of Holy Life by Brother Lawrence)
4) Fellowship with Like-minded Christians:
a) Get around people that believe like you do.
b) If there are none in your area, win some. Then disciple them into this truth.
c) If the people in your Church are dead and resistant to this truth, leave that place and find a place that accepts it. If there is no place like that near you, start one. You are a missionary.
5) Public Confession of Who You Are In Christ and Who He Is In You.
a) Jesus is Lord: of me, family, city, nation, finances, health, etc.
b) The Great Commission: Matt. 28 & Mark 16
c) The Golden Rule: Matthew 7:12
d) The Abiding Anointing: 1 John 2:27
e) Power over the enemy: Luke 10:19
f) The Works of Jesus and Greater: John 14:12
g) I am God’s son, man’s servant and the devils master.
6) Praying In Tongues:
a) Loud: it brings up the fight in you.
b) Long: time yourself and get longer each time, build spiritual stamina.
c) Intensity – fight as if your life depends upon it. (It does, and if not your life, someone else’s.)
7) Action:
James 1:22 – But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. KJV
