daughter your faith has healed you that's true but it's not the full truth it's not all the truth it's totally true but there's more to this story because there is a connection between healing and Faith there really is but I don't like the term at all Faith healing cuz many people read into it Mind Over Matter you know what you're thinking created it I I I totally disagree with that it is true her faith healed her but it's also true that the power that left Jesus body that went into her is what healed [Music] her
I do want to speak to you tonight on the subject of the power of the testimony and uh I want to begin by just showing you where this is at in scripture and then taking from the scripture to showing you how it's still happening uh today our um we have three stories four passages two of the passages are parallel about the same story but I want you to see that there's not only similarities but the importance of seeing the chronology of the stories is important to understand the point of the story which is the power
of the testimony builds faith for healing so we begin in Luke 6 ver 17 um through um 19 speaking about Jesus he went down with them that's his disciples and stood on a level place a large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea from Jerusalem and from the coast of Ty and sidon who had come three reasons people come to Jesus they'd come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases and those troubled with evil spirits were cured this is the main verse this one
and the people all tried to touch him because power was coming from him and healing them all amazing thing is a large crowd and Beyond the large crowd he goes on to explain that people come from Jerusalem and Ty and siden from all over the area a very large crowd had come I believe that this story this testimony is the basis of starting more people getting healed because of the faith it created now I can't prove this this story and the next story is connected I believe it is with all my heart I believe that
this story about everybody was trying to touch him because power was coming out of him and he King them all created Faith particularly in one woman so we turn over two chapters to chapter 8 in the middle of verse 42 as Jesus was on his way the crowds almost crushed him and a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years but no one could heal her she came up behind him and touched the say this with me edge of his cloak edge of hiso and immediately her bleeding stopped who touched me
Jesus asked and when all when they all denied it Peter said Master the people are crowding and pressing against you he there's a lot of people touching you but this one person's touch Drew on his anointing there's a difference between need and Faith there's a difference between desperation and expectation but Jesus said someone touched me I know that power has gone out from me verse 47 then the woman seeing that she could not go unnoticed came trembling and fell at his feet question and that big crowd why couldn't she go unnoticed it says seen that
she couldn't go unnoticed when I was 16 years old I drove tractors in the summertime hiring out to other guys I started at 12 and uh I got a dollar and a quter an hour and I worked 70 hours a week in the summertime driving tractors and I got paid and I went to pick up my girlfriend I took her to a county fair and I'm standing in line to buy tickets for the ferris wheel and I felt a bad pickpocket pick my pocket it was a little crowd you know where I lived if you
had 10,000 people in a county that was a that's good I mean there weren't any towns above 25,000 in that whole area fourth of the state and so it was really small my county seat was 3,000 people the next biggest town and the county was 400 The Village I lived in was 50 so we're not talking big crowds at the county fair and I turn as soon as I felt that pickpocket picked my pocket I grabbed it turned around and I can't find who did it little crowd but I can't figure out who did it
big crowd she can't hide herself seeing that she can't hide herself it does say she came trembling and fell at his feet now she could have been trembling by fear or she could have been trembling because she's fearful she got caught stealing the anointing when Jesus said I felt power go out of me I believe she felt power come into her and she perceived in her body that she was healed and she came trembling and fell at his feet because she could see that she can't hide herself I think because she's the only one that
looked like this see if you have a better explanation than that in the presence that this is really important in the presence of all the people she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed then he said to her daughter your faith has healed you go in peace daughter your faith has healed you that's true but it's not the full truth it's not all the truth it's totally true but there's more to the story because there is a connection between healing and Faith there really is but I don't like the
term at all Faith healing because many people read into it mind over matter you know what you're thinking Crea it I I I totally disagree with that it is true her faith healed her but it's also true that the power that left Jesus body that went into her is what healed her how many of you believe that your car your key will start your car it's true but it's not all true you see your key really doesn't start start your car this illustration works so much better in English than it does Portuguese because they don't
have the same word we do what is it that start actually starts the car there's a name for it oh the starter starts the car the starter is the power of God the key is the faith that activates the starter so it is true her faith healed her but it's also true there that power that left Jesus that was drawn on because other people were touching him and when we look now so acts 6 I mean Luke 6: 17-19 everybody's trying to touch him because Power is coming out of him and healing them all and
this one this woman comes up behind him touches the h of His Garment and she gets healed power comes out of Jesus and heals her so we're looking at chronology I believe she heard the story of what happened in Luke 6 on the plane on the level place now when we turn to Matthew just to be able to we can see clearly the connection what happens before the next when we turn to Matthew chapter 9 verses 20- 22 it's a shorter version of this story Matthew chapter 9 verse 20- 22 and remember what happened on
the plane was first the level place and then this incident happened this is a parallel and Matthew tells us just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years came up behind him and touch the say it with me edge of his cloak this is really interesting that how that detail is told by both Luke and Matthew and in oral tradition there was really care being very careful to tell it the way you heard it and it emphasizes this little detail which is going to be really important in this message because the
message is about it's a sto telling of the story The testimony of your healing that can create faith in other people she and and Matthew tells us you know when Luke said she told him why she had touched him and how she'd been instantly healed but Luke doesn't tell us what she said but we know that he said it and in front of this big crowd she said it in front of the big crowd and they heard her and she told him why she had touched him how she had been healed Matthew tells us a
little bit more than Luke did about the why she said said to herself if I only touch his cloak I will be healed Jesus turned and saw her take heart daughter he said your faith has healed you and the woman was healed from that moment now a little bit later we see PE a whole region getting healed and I believe it's clear because of the faith that was created by the telling of this story when she gave her testimony it other people heard it and they told the story so I want you get something you
can tell other people's stories you can tell other people's testimonies it's important that when anybody gets healed and we know about it in our churches that we tell the story to where that unbelievers hairdressers and Barbers and nurses and everybody wherever we go we tell stories of what we're seeing because that creates a culture of faith and reading has modeled that so well so now turn with me to Matthew chapter 14 for the ending of the message and the last story this is when they're going to cross over to janeret now the last time Jesus
had visited janess they run him out that's when he made um deviled pig's feet and they were more concerned about the money they were making illegally with raising Pigs and the demonized man gets delivered and made then in his right mind and he wants to go with Jesus and Jesus said no you can't come with me go back and tell them what I've done for you so we have an evangelist that was the demonized guy that ran around naked and chains and stuff couldn't hold him and he sent back and that's a story it creates
Faith but I believe somebody from janzer was present when the woman with the issue of blood told her story and when back and told all around janeret about this woman who said to herself if I can just touch his cloak and in the telling of the story they emphasize and she touched the edge of his cloak Jesus shows up there's been the fight before he gets there the disciples were in the boat he comes to them and he's walking on the water he and he steals the storm gets in the boat steals the storm and
then they arrive often right before your Miracle you're going to have a storm it's not uncommon for the enemy to see your intentionality and he's afraid of what you're wanting to do and he's going to try and stop you the biggest argument my wife and I ever had since the 47 years um or longer that we've been married 1975 to now I'm trying to figure out how much that is uh 49 49 oh 49 years the biggest argument we ever had was the week before I go to Toronto I don't think I've ever been more
mad at her than I got mad at her and it's not something to be proud of and and I actually my kids it freaked them out because I rarely ever raised my voice and I was so angry I yelled at her and the kids heard it and they came down they were scared are you guys getting a divorce no no this we're not getting a divorce and and I I Buzz very angry though and uncharacteristically so really and then I realized what are you getting ready to do I'm getting ready to go to Toronto why
are you so angry why is why are you yelling and I realized I've fallen into a trap the enemy is afraid of what's about to happen when I get to Toronto so I said oh honey I'm sorry I'm sorry I got this figured out this is a trap the enemy is trying to make me ashamed so that I won't have faith that God will use me and I know we're going to work this out and this this is we're going this is this not this not bad as what I thought it was and I'm just
overreacting please forgive me cuz I realize the strategy of the enemy so I wanted to point out that this is not that uncommon that before you have great Victory you have a great battle but as we continue this is the putting the stories together now is in beginning in verse 34 when they had crossed over they landed at janzer and when the men of that Place recognized Jesus they sent word out to the surrounding country people brought all their sick to him and this is really important and begged him Jesus to let the sick just
touch say it with me the edge of his cloak the the normal way Jesus healed was declaring it you're healed go or touching people or speaking to the condition praying for them tell or an act of obedience telling them to do something those are the normal ways this is an outlier that somebody was touched by touching his cloak the edge of his cloak the people don't just beg Jesus to heal them they beg Jesus to let their sick people touch the edge of his cloak now I have to confess reading commentaries and stuff studying and
trying to figure things out and learn more about the Bible a lot of the commentators that I have read they don't like this passage to be honest with you they'll say well this is kind of embarrassing this is kind of a superstitious type of Faith this faith that touching the Garment is I is uh we're kind of embarrassed by that it it it borders on the borderline of being superstitious and re real Faith doesn't demand or act that or need that and I'm thinking this commentator has maybe no Greek better than he knows God he
doesn't under he obviously hasn't had much of a Healing Ministry you see if I want to really if I want to really have a a good theology I'm actually not going to ask Benny but if I want to know about healing I'm not going to ask any of my systematic Theologian p uh teachers I had and what I mean is there's a difference between knowing how God works and understanding that this is the way God works he uses testimony to build faith and it's not superstitious faith it was just faith and they thought if if
she did that I can do that yeah and he will heal me it the story created faith we see it from all the way back in Luke 6 everybody that's touching him was being healed because pow is coming out of him and healing I think she heard it somehow somebody may have told her she may have been there we don't know probably she wasn't there but somebody told her so she gets the idea I'm going to touch his cloak and I'm going to be healed and when she does power comes heals her the story is
told and now a whole region of a area all the sick they're bringing with one request begging Jesus just let them touch the edge of your cloak Bill Johnson actually I stole his title for this power of the testimony because I I heard him teach something one about Achilles tendons and stuff in three different places and in Minnesota and then in Nashville and then in North Carolina and then going home four places and uh the people were healed one by the first by word of knowledge and all the other three just by the story of
what God had done and somebody had the same problem he created faith in him and they all were healed that that was Bill's story I'm I by the way I don't I don't apologize for stealing his title cuz he has stolen a lot of stuff from me too we or we should we we really to be honest I'm just being fous on stealing stuff we don't mind borrowing from each other especially you know you see God use it so I was preaching at a total first time I ever had done this a total complete not
integrated but not you know just African-American church and Ohio where I was going Seminary for the doctorate and uh the pastor has a doctorate and his wife has two and I'm nervous because some of the where I where I did my doctorate at I was a minority because 90% of the people doing their doctorates at this Seminary were black African-Americans and um and my we were kind of minority and and uh and they and they would bring in these best black preachers in the United States to do the these sermons and preaching I had never
heard African-Americans preach I mean that first sermon I jump up I'm standing on my chair and I'm joining in preach it yeah I'm crying I'm crying I'm I'm I'm so they were I'm telling you they were amazing and they have rhythm and and they sometimes they preach to the or or the music and and you know and I'm going to go preach my first time in an African-American church and I don't have any rhythm and I say I'm not going to be able to get in the the the swing of it with the music and
and and I'm so nervous I'm I'm I'm intimidated actually I really am and uh so I I I start to preach and my assistant traveling with me we take camera so we can get videos it's Sunday morning now Sunday morning is Sunday morning and it's different from Sunday night or other times when you don't have the children's ministry and you and you and people are not there just because it's Sunday but they're there because they want to be there and in a more excited way and expecting more and so my friend said do you want
me to bring the camera that we use to take videos of the test says no this is Sunday morning there won't be anything happen much so just leave it we you don't need it tonight we'll take it cuz I you know lot be more a and so I'm I'm teaching and to my embarrassment my sermon is is dead it's the only time in my life I've ever done it only time my whole life I start preaching I'm about 5 minutes in I turn to the pastor say Pastor I'm sorry but I don't have the right
sermon this is not working this is I don't have I mean not only do I not have a good sermon it is just dead so I said I I I'm not going to preach I'm just going to tell stories now usually when I say that people know me a lot they start giggling because I know what they're thinking that's what's the [Laughter] difference so I started telling stories about what I'm seeing in Brazil I'm giving testimonies and I preached in tronto I preach through almost anything laughing shaking crying screaming you know but I can't preach
when no one's paying attention and and after a while no one's no one's looking at me and everybody's looking over there and no one's paying attention and now we got a commotion going over there and I thought I need to find out well what had happened so you know what caused the commotion as I'm preaching all of a sudden I think it was my I don't remember which foot it was but the top of my foot I just felt a lot of heat on the top of my foot actually coming through the shoe just heat
on the top and in the middle of of my story uh telling stories I said I feel heat on the top of my right foot and and and didn't explain it didn't say its word of knowledge I I just said that and then went right on with the rest of the stories until no one's listening so I go over here and the the woman was Seated on I think it was the second row she'd be about where you're at second seat in and there's a lot of women around and they're all excited but I'm taken
by this guy he's about this he's about six four five six somewhere in there probably about 300 lb and he's not fat he's must and I always told a story until just recently I think he was uh he was a tackle on the football team and I would say high school I found out later as at another black church leader was I went to and this guy he said you know Randy that guy wasn't a high school tackle he was the tackle on the was it the Browns bingles or the bingles the Ohio professional NFL
football team and he said when that happened within minutes we're aware of it he this guy was stationed in Germany in the Army we're aware of this really famous T you can tell I don't know much about football or professional football right now but anyway his story instantly went out all the world I I so anyway I'm taking with him cuz he's crying this is a big guy muscles just weeping tears running down his face so I went up to him first and said what's going on he said uh that's my wife you ought to
ask her okay so I knelt down like this so I could see her eye to eye I said what's going on and she looked at me and she said I'm 28 years old when I was 8 years old I fell out of the project House housing project and the window bro and I almost cut my foot off and it was hanging by like an Achilles tendon and they had to reconstruct my foot and put artificial leaders in on the top and I have not been able to curl my toes for 20 years I cannot do
what Lea did I cannot do my foot like that I haven't been able for 20 years and if you can't do that you can't run but when you said you you felt heat on the top of your foot I instantly felt the heat on the top of my foot and I I I I believed it was God and so I said I'm going to test this out I tried to curl my toes which I've not been able to do for 20 years and they worked I I'm doing my foot look at that and then she
got up and she ran around the church and I'm thinking where's my camera by the way that night God used that woman and her husband I tell you something funny so this guy gets up and he starts doing these roundhouse kicks like you know martial arts roundhouse kicks I'm say that's weird why is he up on the platform doing roundhouse kicks and he says you got to know I I participated in martial arts and I'd be in these tournaments and one time I was doing a roundhouse kick and I heard something in my knee goes
snap and I I I've not been able since several years not been able to squat down like this I've not been able to do roundhouse kicks I had a problem in my knee and then he started doing these roundhouse kicks again and I I said well who prayed for you it was the tackle and his wife now I I'm thinking I I I think God's really on this this couple because in earlier that day I had met with the leadership of the church and uh I was praying for their leadership for an impartation for them
and uh and the ones was being touched and this couple were in the back row of this room but they weren't there was no manifestations happening to them but as these others are I keep feeling like that couple God wants me to pray for that couple so finally I said even though I didn't see anything in the natural I said I think we're supposed to pray for you and we prayed that God would release healing that what he did to you he'll now do through you and so I asked well who prayed for you well
was that couple they come up I don't know he's a professional football player I say you know we got some classes I got some stuff listen if you can't afford it I'll give it to you I I did oh man so I said how'd that make you feel he said it felt so good that we were used of God so one one week later I'm in taipe Taiwan and since it was Sunday and that was Sunday it's only a week later I tell that story in my Sermon Just an illustration what we'd seen God do
just recently after the message was over and I'm up on the platform this Chinese man and minister praying this Chinese man comes up to me and he said I want to tell you something I was driving down this road right in front of this church and when I got in front of this church the Holy Spirit spoke to me clearly and said turn in here well this is not my church this is not where I go to church I have my church I have no idea I didn't come here because you're here because I don't
know who you are never heard of you I I'm here because God said turn in here now let my daughter tell you the rest story she's Chinese she said I'm 28 years old 20 years ago I almost cut my foot off it was hanging by the killes tendon they had to reconstruct it and put artificial tendons in on the top of my foot and I couldn't curl my toes I couldn't do that with my foot I couldn't run when we heard you tell that story she says I knew I'm about to be healed so I
went outside so I could try to run and when I tried to run I could the first woman was healed by a word of knowledge but the second woman was healed by the testimony that created the faith that what God did I know he can do it in me I was in Andrew romi's Place in the Rockies and uh I shared a story about a guy with uh I'd prayed for many years before but I never knew his story and he was this Methodist Church where I was at and he he he said I got
to tell you my story and we got it on video and stuff but the long story was he had ALS L G's disease and um it had been diagnosed couldn't hold a glass it just fall right out of his hand and he told me his story about how God had healed him in the meeting in Louisville Kentucky when I prayed for him and and he and I got his testimony he said um I had a bunch of people up on a platform I'm praying for him he said you came up to me you prayed for
the guy on my right he fell down he guy on my left he fell down you prayed for me I didn't fall down and I looked they fell down they fell down but I didn't fall down and and and you said what's wrong with you and I said I have ALS and I asked you uh this man asked me have you ever seen ALS healed and at that time my answer was no I've never seen ALS healed but then he said but then you said but Psalms 1023 say says praise the Lord oh my soul
and forget not all his benefits who forgives you of all your sins and heals you of all your disease and you looked at me and you said all includes ALS and you started to pray for me and I it felt like hot water just went over me like somebody like I was a commode and somebody flushed the stool and just the hot water and I went I I a few weeks later I went to a mail clinic and was running more test they couldn't find LS I came back and my doctor was a specialist and
uh and he got upset with me when I said I don't have it anymore that's impossible you had ALS they they they they they messed up he said that I think that was like um eight years or 12 years or something quite a while ago anyway uh I shared that story and there's a woman there named luticia she's a nurse and she has ALS she heard the story her friend at brought her heard the story and it's past midnight and I'm supposed to be in bed by 11:00 uh and my wife really worries when I
don't do that and she knows that most most of the time I don't make it but I'm an hour late and she's going to check up on me and um so I'm headed to the to the cabin you know they got right there and as I'm going way out I'm almost to the door to get out of this big big building they had and this woman stood up right in front of me like this and it was her friend who has a doctorate degree and and is really smart and everything but anyway her friend said
you got to pray for my friend I said it's 12:00 I'm supposed to be in bed at 11:00 I'm going to be in trouble I'm tired I'm exhausted I've hit the wall I I don't have to pray for I'll pray for her tomorrow she said no you got to pray for my friend I said no I don't have to pray for your friend I'm going to the cabin and I'll pray for her tomorrow no you got to pray for her and you got to pray for her now I said I'm not going to pray for
your friend I thought this is annoying you know I mean can't you take a hint I'm tired can't you see I'm tired I'm exhausted we hit the wall you hit the wall and then she said my friend has ALS I said I'll pray for your friend she's right behind just just about this far had to turn in behind this beam that's where she's at I talked to her just a little bit I said listen I'm going to pray for you and I want you to interrupt me if you feel anything happening and then I want
you to test things out see if you what if you can do anything different you couldn't before and uh I started to pray I'm speaking you know just trying to God what I don't know exactly how you heal ALS but Lord whatever is messed up fix it and I'm praying for and asking the power of God to go through and and she starts saying I'm getting hot I oh that's good cuz that really is good and I just I'm now my faith beginning cuz i' never never seen ALS healed except that guy's testimony and that
guy's testimony is giving me more courage to go for ALS and uh so I pray for some more she I got electricity in my head and going on my body I said oh good that's good let's pray more more more and then we stopped and I said okay try to do something you can't and she said uh well I can't lift my hands up more than this I can't make my shoulders I've lost ability uh I this is as far as I can lift my ass I said try to lift your your hands wow she
did her hair the next morning uh but anyway um so we pray again we prayed some more and as we're praying because her faith was increased by the story The testimony and as we're praying the heat is so strong on her and we're praying we prayed for quite a while you know about probably 15 20 minutes and and they're they're turning out the lights you know everybody get out of here I got the US I mean the janitors got to shut the thing down and so she's got an hour drive to the nearest hotel where
she could get it you know cuz that the little one close by filled up so I told her said listen you're still feeling the power she said 'I am' you're still feeling electricity and heat yes I am don't talk to anybody on your way out stay focused on his presence don't walk out of this don't don't don't F don't turn your focus off what he's doing until it stops now I had I said I want to I want to interview you tomorrow at 1:00 I want to get your testimony and so at 1:00 the next
day a little bit past one uh she comes in and and I went like 20 minutes over I doing another interview she said this is what happened today I going to tell you what happened last night first I did what you said I stayed focused on what God was doing thanking him for what he was doing just staying in that place of healing and not breaking it off to have a conversation and I was weeping and laughing in the car that our drive to the hotel that heat and electricity just kept going through me the
whole trip I started speaking in tongues I'd never done that before I I just all of a sudden I'm speaking in tongues and and when I got to my hotel I just went straight to bed and when I went to bed I was still feeling heat and electricity going all through my body when I went to sleep and I woke up the next morning I still am feeling heat and electricity going through my body and so she comes to the meeting and before when she was seated in a chair like this to get up she
had to grab a hold of something all the strength she's got to be able just to stand up she said I have been standing out in that hallway 20 minutes cuz you're late and uh and while I've been standing out there I have been doing squat thrust I got so much energy [Applause] the power of the testimony understanding when you hear what you have it can build your faith I could I that's enough of that I think I think two or three more I've got them here but I'm not going to share them because I
feel that you got the point already there's no need to be laborate so so I want to make a declaration I believe there's going to be a lot of people get healed tonight and I I believe that we're going to I believe tonight we can have over a hundred people I get healed and and I mean if you got three things wrong with you and all three of them get healed that's three not one that's three things that were healed that's the way I count them all right now the reason why wanted to say that
is because 2 Corinthians 4:13 says as it is written we believed therefore we have spoken and in that same Spirit of faith we also believe and therefore we speak the Holy Spirit Quicken that verse to me back in Brazil and told me if you believe I'm going to do something you need to say it you need to say out loud what you're expecting what you really do believe I'm going to do I've seen that to be very very powerful causing people to have a higher expectation than they normally would I want to invite three people
to come up now and get ready to give your testimony Alo I believe it's thotting Don Williams and Ken Hastings would you come up and we have a that thank you come on want my husband with me okay all right we just want you to tell your story your testimony of what happened to you last night or night before last whenever it did or the afternoon and uh God's going to bless and if you have anything similar to the same thing grab a hold of it Reach Out And Touch the edge of the cloak I'll
hold it for you all right uh my my healing actually happened at a cultivate Revival in Vacaville 2015 had never been to any of your conferences or anything like any of your conferences and but I had some serious injuries wasn't going to your conference for the injuries I was going there for Revival so anyway I on on our way to the conference we had that blow up up fight it was it it happened I think the day before we arrived because we drove over to get there we had a major blowup fight and then it
dawned on us that's the enemy God's got something for us we need to knock it off and get him out of here and so we did so identical anyway I had I when I came to the conference I had a lot of pain I had pain my neck my back my Lumbar and the pain that I was dealing with it felt when I was in one position sitting working at a at a keyboard or whatever any type of kind of stationary static positioning I would have severe pain that felt like I had a knife a
rod going through my neck so I would adjust that position and then I'd feel like I had that knife or Rod going through my lumbar spine just it I couldn't find a position that I could be free of the pain when I was actually trying to work or trying to stand or ride in a car or whatever just what involved my work now my history that what led up to that I have medical reasons they told me about on why I had that pain I was a magnet for getting rear ended and my first rear
ending was back in 1991 I had a good old closed head injury neck injuries spine injuries went through a long process continued to work very you know committed to survival right so you do what you have to do to survive so continued to work worked through it over several years believing that God would you know bring it bring the healing for it then in 20 probably 2004 I had another rear ending and I had several others in between but these are the injury rear endings that I had with the Whiplash and the neck injury and
the back injury so worked through that one and then again in 2010 had another serious rear ending and that one took me out of work ultimately I went through through my medical doctor I went through the chiropractor I went through physical therapy and um went for an evaluation with a neurologist to determine if I should have surgery in my neck but the bottom line is the medical diagnosis that went with the cause of the pain well you've been injured so many times you've got degenerative disc disease you have degenerative joint disease you have um tears
in your desks you have buold in discs and you have osteoarthritis and so that's why you're having this pain and so it was you know it was difficult I ended up not being able to continue to work because of the repeat injuries I come to cultivate Revival and I hear so many fabulous things I learn what it's like to be slain in the spirit multiple times and um and I hear a test many testimonies but Joanne Moody gave a testimony and if you haven't heard her testimony it's really inspiring and I just I thought that's
that's really cool and I was just drinking it in I was drinking it in I didn't go up to the altar on Wednesday night when you did the healing service because i' had already been prayed for and I thought well it means I don't have faith if I go up for more prayer I don't believe that anymore that was my feeling at the time so the the altar call that I responded to I responded to all of them the one that I had my Divine Healing Sovereign healing with was the one when Blaine cook said
who wants more of God and it was at the end of the conference who wants more of God and my heart leapt so I made it a few feet because that's as far as you can walk when the everyone else is up there and down I went and I was I was in the spirit and all of a sudden what I experienced was I saw I was down on the floor I need to kneel down so I can show this I was down down on the floor and I watched myself right here from this position
so I was watching myself knelt by myself watching myself laying down flailing like a fish out of water according to my husband going in every direction you could possibly imagine can't I can't I can't show you because I can't do that but anyway what then all of a sudden I saw the hand of God giant hand of God come in right in the back of my head here and I was my head was moving like this then into my neck and my neck all over the place then into my upper back then all the way
down the spine he took his time but it it happened fairly quickly but it wasn't like it was I I watched my body wiggling all over the place and the hand of God moving through my body and then I saw it go down my right leg and I had suffered from sciatica as part of these injuries on the right hand side it came his the hand came right down through my foot and then came became a ball brightly bright white ball and went straight in here and and when I got up I I got up
kind of Dazed And I look at my husband and I said I believe I was just [Laughter] healed yay Jesus this is all about [Applause] Jesus and so I my husband he he said that when he would watch me get up in the morning before this he said you can show them what it looked like you reminding me of my grandma who had osteoarthritis and when she'd get out of the bed in the morning she'd be like this you know making her way into the bathroom first thing and it would last for a couple hours
and and my feet were in a lot of pain but anyway after I got up and said I believe I was just healed the pain was gone and the pain continued to be gone now I had enrolled in your physical healing course that was starting when we got back so when I started that course I'm back at a computer at a desk same exact symptoms I had a knife going through my neck I had the rod going through my back I couldn't be comfortable and it was it was high it was the same level of
pain it was very very painful and I had enough knowledge imparted to me probably through your teaching that you rebuke the devil and you refuse to accept it because he's an impostor he's a liar and he wants to steal what God has done for you and so I rebuked him and I said you're an impostor you're a liar get out of here thank you Jesus for healing me and two weeks it lasted and then it lifted and I continue nine years later to walk pain free amen thank you Jesus amen I believe I believe a
lot of people are going to get healed with these types of problems so we're going to give you all the testimony then we're going to go for healing and and it's okay to get healed while the next guy's talking you don't have to wait for us to give you permission to get healed just just go ahead and take it tell us your story can yeah so I've had asthma all my life but probably about 30 years ago I don't know the exact time I lost 50% of my lung capacity so I have a spirometer and
I have all the meds and things to try taking care of myself I actually missed Thursday night's evening worship because I came in but an asthma attack yet so we had to drive home get the medicine give me so I could breathe again come back for I made it time for your teaching and at the end you said anybody that needs healing stand up so I did a lady and my wife started praying for me I felt a lot of heat that shaking that whole Holy Spirit on me they prayed quite a while I felt
like I was at least 70 80% better but I was still shaking under the power for quite a while then another lady came up a couple ladies I think and started praying for me again with words of knowledge and other things and cut it off oh I felt so good when I came home I had I did the breathing test I had could only do up to 550 where I used to Peg it and do about a thousand I went home and hit the Thousand Mark I pegged it all the way over I scared my
wife cuz I screamed as soon as I saw what I did and started praising God it is so nice to be able to breathe fully and not be at that verge of always having an asthma attack amen thank you Lord yeah it's so good to be able to worship without getting dizzy and actually scream and holler stay up here okay yes um you when you get sick you you always hope for an immediate and a a perfect uh restoration from God and U in my case that wasn't my experience uh uh I'd had a 40-year
career and I was at the top of my career traveling internationally and got a virus from mosquito and had en sephtis uh and brain damage and almost died at the time uh in the field over in Africa in in India excuse me and um when I got back uh I just never recovered it know over the next seven years I would progressively spiral down to where I couldn't uh stand for very long and I would have uh flu like symptoms anytime I would exert at all and so u 10 years ago my wife got me
to this conference at bethl and I could barely stand uh and barely make it through the conference and uh I got prayer from from many of the the people that were leading the conference and that took me from this very bottom hopeless kind of situation it turned me around and I started uh going backward going up uh getting restored by God and over that time we took classes in the online school and really uh focused on God's word for uh healing we held on to the the hope that God would restore and then um just
uh two years ago I was I reached the 100% recovery and I'm completely healed now and uh and as a scientist and engineer I just love to work and I'm back back working and productive and and really enjoying what I'm doing so amen God's been a blessing amen we see people get healed different ways and sometimes what what bizarre we prayed for guys totally blind 55 years he got myrian acid spill in his eyes and all he has is a 16th of an inch thick white Scar Tissue you can't see any pupils or corne it's
all covered he's been blind 55 years a woman on our team it wasn't I had nothing to do it the woman on my team felt like uh we did this night where you pray for people that's um terminally ill blind death or can't walk without an aid and they come in our early that's was focused just on that group and we prayed for them uh my team did I I was actually watching what God was doing and um they prayed for them and this guy this woman she's praying for this one guy the guy I'm
telling you about nothing happened and we had to always stop what's happening can you see anything changing nothing and she and we're basically if that many people pray for you you normally you you go on and pray for somebody else and she want wanted to but when she was ready to walk away the Holy Spirit spoke to her and said Don't Stop praying for him so she prays for him through the hour of worship every time she wanted to quit don't stop praying for him she prayed for him during the hour sermon in English and
an hour more in Portuguese so it's four hours now every time she wanted to quit she prayed for him during the whole thing then there's an hour of ministry at the end she continues pray five hours before she left to leave on the bus can you see anything do you feel anything no no change she said God what was that all about I did I miss God she go went home the next day thinking she had failed and missed God and 3 days later I'm in the north part of Brazil and the pastor of the
church aloise Sil church about 25,000 30,000 now 30,000 two location but in the same city same staff he called me he said Randy it's the greatest miracle in the history of this city I said what are you talking about and he told me just what I told you and then he told me the rest of the story that man was as blind as could be when she left all the next day went to sleep blind as could be the next night next day day totally blind nothing changing nothing gradual went to sleep as blind as
could be but on the third morning he woke up no Scar Tissue brand new pupils and corneas and he said he's down at the hospital again we have all these records 55 years this is the third time doctors have brought him to the hospital it's like uh John N they doctors keep asking him tell us again how is it you can see it was grad sometimes it happens gradually sometimes it happens gradually but you got your healing did so I want to start out with this if you have something wrong with your neck or your
back you have pain in your back maybe ptic anything that like she shared stand up if you have anything dealing with your breathing or your lungs I want you to stand up if you have anything that's taking your strength somewh you've been attacked in your physical strength and you uh maybe in sephtis or whatever it may have been but you've been or it could be even long Co you can identify with his story stand up yeah you got problems with your ankle your foot like the woman I told you about stand up you've had an
injury that's caused you to lose function emotion stand up now I want you to take a minute I am going to pray but I believe the power of the testimony yes Lord can bring healing to you and I just want you to try to do something you can't do and if it's an organ problem for example if it's your lungs I want you to put your hands on your lungs and just believe that God can release his power through your own hands if it's somewhere else that the organ has failed or just these testimonies is
in you know you're sitting there like I I think I could be healed right now this doesn't involve me I but I I really expect I could be healed go ahead and stand up and get in on it and just put your hands where you need the healing or move whatever it is cuz I believe I'll give you a minute that some of you are going to be healed before we pray just by the faith that's created by the power of the testimony so going to wait I learned from a famous Argentine Revival revivalist and
healing evangelist that he didn't he didn't ask for what was totally completed but he asked for people that you are at least 80% better cuz he said Randy you'll there'll be so much more you'll see happening and you're we're what we're looking for is what God's doing but a sign ific amount of healing that causes the a factor that that's that's a lot of improvement and I believe before the night's over there'll be more more percentage but if you're at least 80% better I want you to give God the glory by waving both hands over
your head till your wrist cross like this and I want when people see it is happening others will have more faith for it there's one there's two there's three there's four there's five there's six there's seven thank you eight thank you God thank you Lord thank you Lord okay how many of you are not 80% but you're you're being touched and you're getting Improvement wave one hand only okay we're going to pray for all of you God I thank you for your healing virtue I thank you for your promises I thank you for the stories
