perspective

I believe God’s power to heal is greater than the devil’s power to destroy.

I believe God’s desire to heal is greater than the devil’s desire to destroy

For God is superior to the devil in every way

S.G. is home

8:00 PM

Ring Ring

B. speaking

Hi my name is D., and I am the daughter of S.G.   Did you and S.  pray for my mother in the Valley Medical Center ?

Oh yes, Ms. S.G.

My father wanted to let you know that he died.

Oh, wow … I’m so sorry to hear that.

My father said that you two made my mom and him so happy and moved when you visited them this past Wednesday.  You were the only ministers that prayed with her; they felt so grateful for your compassion.

Soon after you left,  my mother started to have difficulty breathing. The doctor’s called my family and I to come, and we watched her, and she passed at 1:00 am.

My father said, you two were angels sent by God to bring to her home.  My father and mother are both followers of the Lord, and we know that she is in a better place.

Do you remember my father or mother ?

Yes, your mother was one of the sweetest and gentle spirited patients, and your father was so affectionate to her. He had a hearing aid and he would sit at your mom’s right side, holding her hand.

Yeah,  my parents were married for 66 years.

Wow …  I am … … so thankful for your father, mother, and you calling me to let me know this.  Can I ask, how is your father doing ?

He’s taking it really hard, he’s grieving, would you like to speak with him?  You might need to yell when you talk with, him because he has difficulty hearing, he’ll get new hearing aids soon.

Yes, I would be honored to

Papa, el ministerio quiere hablor contigo.

HELLO!  HELLO!  B.!?  MY WIFE AND I SO APPRECIATED YOU AND S. PRAYING FOR US!  YOU WERE SENT BY GOD!

Mr . G., S. and I were so blessed to meet you and your wife!

SORRY I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!

THANK YOU MR. G. SO MUCH FOR CALLING US, IT LIFTS US UP SO MUCH!

STILL CAN’T HEAR YOU!

My dad wants to talk with you another time, can he call you next week when he has his new hearing aids ?

Yes please!  Thank you so much,  I pray peace and comfort of God to you and your family.  Your mother is with him.

===============

Thank you for the privilege to join you in caring for S.G. and her family.

kid’s faith

Flea market, Snell and Capitol

Searching for headphones my eye caught a middle schooler in a wheel chair.  A  caste fortressed his right foot and he waited for his younger brother and mom.

Hmm … the kid’s dad might yell at me, will I scare him away? … Something reminds me of B.L.’s encouragement,  ”Be confident, offer healing, it’s not awkward.”

… “What happened to your leg?”

Dad says, “He was running, fell, and broke the bone in his foot”

“Does it hurt when you push on it even now ? “

“yup”

“Let me pray for you”  (smile)

Dad says, “What do you think Ismael?  Can he pray for you.”

Ismael, (smiles) “sure”

My hand is on his caste, “pain leave, bone heal, foot fully strengthen now”

“Can you put weight on your foot and see how it feels ?”

Israel looks me in the eye. He gets out of his wheel chair and stands up. (I’m shocked by his faith)

“It feels a lot better! ” (smile)

“Do you feel any more pain ?”

“A little”

Hand is on his caste again, “pain leave, bone heal, 100 %” , “Try again”

“I don’t feel any pain” (smile)

Dad, little brother, and mom are googly eyed now watching all of this.  They whisper “Camina, Camina, Camina” (“walk” in Spanish)

Ismael smiles, he’s self-conscience, and freezes.

“It’s okay. God’s healed you. Later whenever you’re comfortable try walking” (smile) .    “Thank you” (smile).

walmart and valley med

2/28,  Walmart, San Jose

JC  - got kicked out of Walmart last night for healing in the name of Jesus along with BC, SW, and GW! wow that was a first! I had fun though! hahaha

it’s working !

Valley Medical Center

K.  seemed an inch away from death.  Swollen eyes shut, puffy face, tubes all around, and out in a coma.  Last week we found him resting in the spinal cord injury unit.  His body squirmed as we prayed for him.

Today we entered the unit to a shocking sight.  Propped up, rosy cheeked, clear eyed,  K lounged in his bed, and watching TV.  Minus the tube in his throat and the caste around his neck, the spiderwebs chained around his body were removed!

He was a different man.  Day and night.  The man was almost dead, today he seemed like a spring chicken.  Unable to speak, we traded smiles and to our delight read beams from his lips and nods about how he was feeling.

He couldn’t see us last week, but he heard and remembered us.   Again, we offered him prayer. With bright eyes he offered us his hands.

fractured foot healed !

Valley Medical Center, San Jose

This afternoon I was honored to learn from two spiritual moms, talk to strangers, and pray for the sick together.  These ladies have incredible love and faith to heal, and they have very big guts (boldness).

Walking around the hospital was crazy; like every person we saw, S.  and D. would warmly ask about their story and offer prayer.  If they didn’t need prayer, S  would ask about their family, and those family members would bring us to their family members rooms and let us pray for them!!   It was ridiculous.

healings in cupertino

De Anza college flea Market 2/5/2011

C. and R. saw a young man with wrappings around his foot and crutches. They prayed for him and asked him to try out his foot. He said, “the pain is gone”. R said, “you don’t need those crutches anymore.” He said thanks and moved on (they thought, “maybe he’s just saying that to be nice”) . About 10 minutes later, C & R saw him from a distance trying out his foot. Eventually he completely removed his wrappings, gave his crutches to his dad, started walking, and then started running.

Later that day

A woman walked with a cane.  K and C asked her why she used the cane. She had sciatic nerve pain that hindered her walking. The first time they prayed for her, she said “it feels a lot better!” and she tried walking upright.  They prayed for her again and she said the pain greatly decreased.

it worked!

Just received an email from a friend of the person I prayed for in the 1/16/2011 Post :

For their privacy, I’m omitting names/identifiers:

___ appreciated your sincere concern and gesture on Friday, and ___wanted me to tell you that ___ (their) knee is actually feeling a whole lot better!!!

hello Jesus

awkwardness vs love

No matter how many times I’ve seen it done or done it, I feel this fear before releasing it.

Last night at a sweet dinner my eye was caught as crutches and a brace strolled by. I’m enjoying my fettuccine and conversing. I brush the idea.

Throughout the evening I saw it yet moved on.  Not now, there’s too many important people, I’m going to look weird. There was a time when I was compulsive, that whenever I would see it, I would go for it.

Afterwards we hang out. It happens I’m sitting right next to him.   chat chat chat , amidst all the conversation the idea remains.  He’s friendly and easy going.  The awkwardness is not going to leave.   Why am I going to do this ?

Something reminds me:

“Do everything in love.”   (1 Cor 16:13)

“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them” (Matt 14:14)

*bing* …. in the perspective of love  it doesn’t matter if it’s awkward, or even inconvenient. What matters is that this person is cherished and that they get better.

“what happened?”  I look him in the eye,  sheepishly smile … , “I love to pray for people and see them healed, can I pray for you?”

He gives me the, are you crazy ?, look,  …. “you’re really religious aren’t you?”

Smile, “it depends on what you mean by religious”, smile

We command  full healing. Last week was the 6th time muscles have separated from the knee. That would be the last time.

smile, “can you try out your knee?”   …  ” Thank you, I don’t want to take the caste off right now.”

smile, “that’s cool, you will get better, it won’t happen again.” smile

“I will try it when I get home. I appreciate this” smile

I didn’t get to see him healed on the spot. But I think, I was able to express love to him, and I hope he felt that someone cares for him.

There’s something about a perspective of love that gives me courage to do things I’m terrified about. I come to care more about this person getting better than how awkward I feel.  Love makes any cost of awkwardness, expense, or sacrifice disappear.  Maybe thats why mom and dad can lay down their life and dreams for me everyday.
