The God Who Heals


Several of us have been praying for Jerry Slegle since the doctors took him off his medication and told him he had less than a year to live. BEFORE Jerry got that bad news, a member of the church had a dream that the church had been alerted to pray for Jerry to be healed. All month, several of us have been praying and fasting on a schedule to make sure on each day of the week someone is praying and fasting for Jerry.

August is over, so I'm sending out the signup sheet again to pray for Jerry for the month of September. Click here to sign up to pray for Jerry Slegle. It's the same spreadsheet as last month, so if you already signed up last month, you're automatically signed up again unless you go in and take your name off!

This month, we'll make a small change. We will pray and fast for 6 days, Monday through Saturday, and on Sunday, we will pray and rejoice but not fast. 

Remember, God is a God who heals. Just last week, we got testimony of a man who was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. He received prayer for healing, and when he went back to the doctor recently, the doctor was shocked to see that his kidneys have improved. He said he'd never seen a case improve before, but after analysis, he decided that the kidneys are no longer in stage 3 kidney disease! 

Of course there is the radical story of healing during evangelism in last week's email as well, and I've heard a number of others, like a woman at church who was going to have to have foot surgery, but after prayer, the condition got so much better that she never got the surgery, and several months later, her foot is still fine. 

If you have a story of healing, please respond to the weekly email or leave a comment here telling it!

    God healed my ear infection overnight. When I was little, I had the most excruciating ear pain. My mother laid me on her body and prayed in the spirit for me for hours. In the morning, all pain had left.

    Another time, my grandma cursed a huge wart on my knee that I'd been doctoring with over the counter meds for years. It was completely gone with no trace in one week.

    God healed my kidney pain. I'd had a nagging pain for weeks in the same spot, as well as strange urinary symptoms. I began to worry because of family history of kidney disease. One day something rose up from inside of me and I just started talking to my kidney, reminding my body that I have Christ given authority over it, told my kidney to be healed in the name of Jesus and it immediately stopped hurting and has never hurt since.

    Another time my daughter was complaining of classic appendicitis symptoms and I asked the Lord if I should take her to the ER or pray. He said pray. So I laid my hands on her tummy and prayed, then I turned out the lights for us to go to sleep. But the Holy Spirit said "you're gonna have to pray through this one." So, I turned the light back on, laid hands on her again and prayed as much in English as I could and prayed in tongues the rest of the time. As the Spirit gave me words to pray, I did, telling her body to be healed. She fell into a deep sleep. After about 20 minutes, He said "Okay, you can go to sleep now." I didn't sleep as soundly as usual (it's hard for mamas to sleep when our babies are sick) but she did! In the morning, she had absolutely no pain. She never got a fever and all symptoms disappeared.

A Prophecy that made this guy LEAVE Wellspring!

Shawn Lazar's testimony  Last week, I posted A Sad Story with a Surprise Ending  about the topic of fake prophets manufacturing things that look like prophetic words. At Wellspring, we had to make a decision about what to do with the invalid prophetic trickery that's going on out there. We decided it would be an overreaction to stop our own ministry. We decided it would be an under-reaction to just carry on without mentioning anything.  Instead, I made last week's post as a step toward transparency and addressing this issue head-on. On Sunday, when we do our own stage prophetic ministry, we will address the fake stuff going on and invite people into critically testing every word.  Today, I want to do two things. First, I want to give the link to a video and a paper that I put together to explain how to categorize prophetic words and subsequently test them. Click here to watch the video and/or read the paper Types, Tests, and Shelves for Prophetic words . Second, I wa...

This couldn’t wait...

Jerry, serving in the snack room at VBS As of the writing of this post, it’s 3:00 am. I woke up, realizing I hadn’t actually organized strategic prayer for Jerry Slagle yet, and this is no small matter. The original plan was to send out a VBS recap email, but that can wait until next week. Jerry has been fighting cancer for more than two years. Recently, he was given a very sad and scary report from his doctors that he only has limited time left, less than a year. However, two weeks before he got the report, a person on our prayer team had a dream that we believe was from God, telling us that “we need to pray for Jerry.”  Here is the text from that dream: Two weeks ago I had a very intense dream about Jerry Slagle.  In the dream, I knew that he was in a life or death scenario (I assumed the cancer). I was outside somehow gathering people together. We (church members) began urgently alerting each other one by one. Instinctively we began to form a path with people strategically ...

What is your assignment as a Disciple?

Image
From the Pastor's Desk In the sermon "The Job Description of a Disciple," I shared one of my favorite Christian practices: listening to, reading, and watching great Christian testimonies. I consider this a spiritual practice because it stirs my faith to hear how my brothers and sisters in Christ have gone before me, setting excellent examples of laying down their lives for Jesus.  Here is a list of testimonies and resources that could keep you reading, listening, and watching for years to come! I referenced the video about Nikolas Ludwig Von Zinzendorf:  The Rich Young Ruler Who Said Yes . I first heard of Zinzendorf on this Remnant Radio episode called " The Life of Count Zinzendorf. " Testimony Podcasts that I listen to: The Unseen Story (Miguel Valle's testimony is here, and I recorded one with them a week ago) Delafe Testimonies Compelled Podcast Voice of the Martyrs Testimony Books: Foxe's Book of Martyrs by John Foxe Seeking Allah Finding Jesus ...
