Complete Overhaul Part 2

spirit-doveWell, Charles was so thrilled with being healed that he brought three of his neighbors with him the next week.  They said that Charles was dancing in front of them to show them that he had been healed and that he had not been able to do that before.

The first woman I prayed for received a new baptism in the Holy Ghost and received the gift of speaking in tongues.

The next man was instantly healed of pain in his knees and back and his anxiety and depression were lifted.   Continue reading Complete Overhaul Part 2

Complete Overhaul

perfect-body-under-constructionCharlie was brought to our house meeting as a guest.  He was very pleasant and inquisitive with questions like “Are you saying that we have no need for doctors?” and “Well, what about Paul’s thorn in the flesh?” and “Are you saying that all sickness comes from demons?”.  No arguments, just healthy curiosity about these sacred cows he had been raised with.

We patiently answered all his questions and explained that like sacred cows, these were all doctrines of men that he had learned as the commandments of men.  When it came time for prayer, he was noticeably silent.  Then one of our regulars, no doubt prompted by the Holy Spirit as well as his continual holding and rubbing his knees, asked him “Do you need prayer for your knees?”   Continue reading Complete Overhaul

Show Of Power

power-in-the-pinesOn the 14th of May, Fort Dix Air Force Base in New Jersey held its annual air show called Power in the Pines.  The “Pines” referring to the New Jersey Pine Barrens that surround the area.  The “Power” obviously referring to the air power of the many fighter jets and aerial combat equipment on display that day.

Well, with an expected crowd of over 100,000 people, we decided to bring some real power to the pines to overcome the prince of the power of the air and set the captives free.  So we brought our team and about 200 Gospels of John to handout.

We quickly noticed that the attraction was also the distraction.  Many people we approached who were in obvious need of healing, quickly dismissed our offer because ”I’m heading to the air show.”  One woman pushing her husband in a wheelchair actually yelled at us “Leave us alone!”  I knew it wasn’t the woman who was yelling and he wasn’t yelling at us but at Jesus.   Continue reading Show Of Power

Activating A Brand New Team Member

Mall.jpgAndrew, a brand new Team Member, whom I had never met before but only over the phone, met us for one of our outreach outings at Willowbrook Mall.  He told us that he had never seen an actual healing before and that he had prayed for people but had never seen an instant healing.  As we walked around the mall he witnessed several instant healings take place by the other team members.

When it came time to go, the very last person I approached was a small Indian man who sat by the fountain in the middle of the mall while holding on to his quad cane.  He accepted my offer for prayer and told me it was his knee that was hurting.  You could see that the knee was bent outward to the side and affected his whole leg being crooked.   Continue reading Activating A Brand New Team Member

Saleem Meets Sar Shalom

prince-of-peace.jpgAfter ministering music to the men at the Goodwill Rescue Mission and after packing up my stuff, before leaving, I decided to reach out to the guys directly and just sit down and talk with them.

One of them was a young man named Saleem which means peace similar to Shalom as in Sar Shalom or Prince of Peace.  I asked him if he believed in Jesus and I could tell he hesitated before he said yes, he did.  I said “Wait a minute.  You just hesitated before you said that.  Do you really believe in Jesus?”  “Well sometimes I do.”  He kind of avoided the question so I asked him “Hey, can I show you something?”  “Sure.” he replied.

Jesus Saves Man’s Leg From Amputation

Wally comes regularly to the Dover Outreach Mission.  One Thursday, the day we usually minister there, we were wondering where he was.

His friends told us that he had been taken up in the hospital with an infection in his leg and that they were going to amputate it.  When Wally questioned the doctors, they said it was not maybe, but that they were definitely going to cut his leg off, right below the knee.   Continue reading Jesus Saves Man’s Leg From Amputation

Super Outreach Saturday

We had scheduled an outreach to the flea market for the team on Saturday, September 24th, at the Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ, when one of the team members brought another outreach event to my attention that was also happening the same day in Paterson, NJ.  It was scheduled by several churches and community outreach organizations and was sure to draw a crowd.

Great, I though, we can go to the flea market in the morning and hit this event in the afternoon.   Continue reading Super Outreach Saturday

Walk In Instant Healing

Well that was cool.  I just healed the pain in my foot instantly.  Here’s what happened.

pie-150x150We were out apple picking with the family and before we got to the orchard, we stopped into a farm store just to look around and see what they had to offer.

As I was moseying along looking at the fresh baked apple pies, homemade kettle corn and scented wax candles, I noticed a sudden sharp pain in my right foot as if I had misstepped.  You know, one of those annoying foot pains that comes out of nowhere and latches on to you for days, if not weeks.   Continue reading Walk In Instant Healing

Growing A Leg Out & In Again

Brian, one of our team members, was checking out to see if Andrew’s legs were even.  We were out ministering at a flea market and sitting at a taco tent with some wacky music playing in the background which you can hear in the video below.

Well, it turned out that Andrew’s right leg was slightly shorter than his left leg.  No problem.  Brian commanded it to grow out in Jesus’ name.  Then he commanded it to keep growing even further to see how far it would come out.  Continue reading Growing A Leg Out & In Again

Instantly Healed From Scoliosis, Carpal Tunnel & Sciatica

This was the first time we encountered a homeless husband and wife team on the streets of New York City.

The husband Scott sat on an opposite corner of his wife Vicky and told us about his wife and that it was her birthday today.  They were both homeless and Vicky was 3 months pregnant.  We prayed for her and she was instantly healed of scoliosis but her biggest pain was emotionally that her daughter was not with her.   Continue reading Instantly Healed From Scoliosis, Carpal Tunnel & Sciatica

Healing and Spiritual Activity Captured On Video

Don’t worry.  This is not scary.  But it is amazing!

When Jamie prayed for Gail’s hip and back pain, she checked Gail’s legs and sure enough, one of them was shorter than the other.  So Jamie commanded the shorter leg to grow out in Jesus’ name and it did so until it was even with the other leg.  You can watch it grow in the video below.  This was her first time doing this and even she was amazed.

But something else happened during this miraculous healing which we did not see or realize at the time.  You see, one of our team members, Dave, had recorded the entire event.  I sent a copy of the recording to a friend who emailed me back that we had captured more on that video than I might have realized.  He gave me the marker points and told me to take another close look at it.   Continue reading Healing and Spiritual Activity Captured On Video

Instantly Healed Of Pain In Her Hip

We were in New York City ministering to people on the streets.

Walking Cane.pngA woman was walking with difficulty with a cane.  I approached her and said: “Excuse me.  I noticed your cane.  I’m a minister and I pray for people and God heals them.  Can I pray for you?”

“Okay.” was her response.  I introduced myself and she told me her name was May.  “Okay, May, what can I pray for for you?  What’s the cane for?” I inquired.  “My hip.” she responded, “I have a problem with my hip.  It hurts.” Continue reading Instantly Healed Of Pain In Her Hip

Back Instantly Healed

We were out ministering on the streets in New York City and had teamed up with another healing outreach team.

achingbackI met one of their team members whose name was Leo and who was suffering from back pain.  He had been prayed for by others on the team and experienced some relief but it was a stubborn demon that still gave him grief.  So we took the devil by surprise and knocked it out altogether in 5 seconds flat and Leo was set free.  Praise Jesus!  You can watch his testimony below.

Chains Broken & Stomach Pain Healed

We were in New York City, having a great time with the Empire State Building Ticket Sellers (see the post & video here) when Edwin and his wife Toya approached us for prayer.

brokenchainsmanThey had been observing how everyone was getting healed and baptized in the Holy Ghost and wanted in on the action.  Alright!

Edwin explained that he was a believer, baptized in the Holy Spirit and “spoke in tongues and everything”.  But he said that he had certain chains that needed to be broken.  When asked, he said he needed “consistency”, which I assumed was consistency in his spiritual walk.  He also had occasional back pain but did not have it today. Continue reading Chains Broken & Stomach Pain Healed

Street Healing in New York City

It was July 5th and a hot summer’s evening in NYC with temperatures in the nineties.

bryant_park_fountainWe met up with the team at Bryant Park by the fountain.  We met Johnny there who was a newcomer to the team and was full of questions.  He believed healing was true but had not seen it himself.  He had been watching several videos about healing and had prayed for several people but had not seen anyone he prayed for actually get healed.  He used as an example, the pain he had in his knee and shared that 3 people had already prayed for it but he had not been healed.   Continue reading Street Healing in New York City

Activating A New Team Member

As exciting as it is to see someone you pray for instantly get healed, it is even more thrilling to see one of your team members perform their very first healing.

Anand, one of our newest team members, joined us for one of our outreaches to a local outdoor flea market.  We approached a young woman who was walking with a cane.  Her name was Isabella and she was there with her husband, her son and her mother.  She said that she had pain in her right leg but mostly in her left foot.  You could see that she was wearing two completely different shoes.

She had gotten an infection in her foot which had progressively gotten worse and was walking around with this for 6 months.  She was scheduled to go to a special clinic in New York to have surgery on her foot.   Continue reading Activating A New Team Member

Festival Of Healings

We decided to have a team outreach at the Fall Foliage Festival in Port Jervis, NY, right over the border from New Jersey.

I have never seen so many people needing healing all gathered in one place.  It looked like an invalid ward and as if someone had planned a special outing for people with disabilities.  The fields were literally “white already to harvest” as it says in John 4:35.  I usually keep a log of people prayed for but there was no time to take any notes at all.  The minute you were done praying for one person, another captive soul needing deliverance stood in front of you with a cane, crutches or in a wheelchair.  We really had a field day!

Port Jervis2.pngHere are just a few of our encounters:

One lady got very scared.  She walked with a cane and her foot was hurting her.  She very nonchalantly accepted my offer to pray for her.  “Sure you can pray for me.” she said with an attitude like, what could that possibly do for me?  The minute I bent down, laid my hand on her foot and commanded the pain to go, I looked up and her casual demeanor and smiling face had suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an expression of horror.  As she backed away from she exclaimed: “What are you?  You are scaring me!”  I assured her that it wasn’t me but Jesus who had just instantly healed her to prove to her that He loves her by setting her free of her pain.  She turned around and walked away quickly, quite confused and quite without using her cane!   Continue reading Festival Of Healings

It Feels Really Good In Here

I bumped into Paul at the grocery store while out shopping with my wife.  He was a senior gentleman with a slight beard sitting in his wheelchair and just standing still in front of an aisle.

man-in-wheelchair“Excuse me sir, I noticed your wheelchair.  I’m a minister and I pray for people and God heals them. Can I pray for you, sir?” I offered him.

“You want to pray for me?” he asked surprised and continued a bit cynical, “You mean that there are still people in this world who actually care?”  “Of course!” I replied.  “Jesus loves you and He cares about you.  What can I pray for for you?”   Continue reading It Feels Really Good In Here

The High Holy Days Gift

It is very unusual these days that I go anywhere and not find someone who is in need of prayer for healing.  Canes, wheelchairs, crutches…they’re everywhere!

shofar-blowHowever, this was not the case on this particular day when I was shopping at BJ’s, a local wholesale club here in New Jersey.  I asked the Lord, is there really no one here that You want me to pray for?  Oh well, if You want me to minister to someone, I know You that will make it happen.

So I thought nothing of it any further and gathered the things I needed to pick up on my list and headed towards the cash register.  I stood on the less than 10 items line when a lady queued up behind me with a flatbed with the biggest flat screen TV I had ever seen.  Wow, that is a huge TV, I commented.  However, my prayer was answered when, as I turned to look behind me, there he was, the man who needed ministering.   Continue reading The High Holy Days Gift

4 Healings At The Mission

It is always a blessing to see the men coming forward at the Goodwill Rescue Mission to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Every time we go we have a harvest!

jesus-saves2When the service was over, I noticed a man with one leg shorter than the other talking to one of the ministers.  It was quite noticeable as he wore a special platform shoe to compensate for the difference.  He said his name was Charles and that he was born that way.  I asked if I could pray for him and after he accepted, I sat him down on a chair, lifted his legs up and commanded his right leg to grown out in the name of Jesus and match up to his left leg.  “I can feel it stretching!” he exclaimed.  His leg came out quite a bit but not all the way.  “Now that it started growing, it is going to grow all the way.” I assured him.  He was very grateful.

As I packed up my music gear and headed towards the door, I noticed a man sitting in a chair by the door with a cane.  “What’s the cane for?”  I inquired.  “O, it’s my ankle.” he replied.  His name was Juan and he accepted my offer to pray for him and his ankle was instantly healed.  “You won’t need that cane anymore!” I chided him.   Continue reading 4 Healings At The Mission

Muslims Meet Jesus Up Close And Personal

My daughter, Jamie, started a conversation with a Muslim mother and daughter we met at a flea market.  She tried to share Jesus with both of them but the conversation was not going anywhere.  Debating just led to them digging their heels in deeper and they were not willing to give an inch.  I joined in the conversation.

“Do you believe that all the prophets in the Qur’an speak the truth?”

“Yes, of course.”For Muslims who seek... IsaalMasih.net

“Do you believe that Jesus was a prophet?”

“Yes, we do.”

“So then you believe that everything Jesus said was the truth?”

“Yes, we do.”

“Well, Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but through me.”  Do you believe that?”

“It does not say that in the Qur’an.”

Ugh!  Etc, etc, etc.   Continue reading Muslims Meet Jesus Up Close And Personal

On Top Of The World

New_York_Empire_State_Building_ticketWe were out on the streets in New York City with our team and bumped into a group of Empire State Building Observatory Ticket Sellers.

We approached Ramone who said he had pain in his back.  He was already a believer in Jesus but had been suffering from severe back pain for the last 4 months.  When he was prayed for by Josh and John, he was instantly healed and set free.  He was so thrilled and was excited to share his testimony on video (see below).

He also prayed with us and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.  He said he could feel it in his stomach.  This was the rivers of living waters flowing from his belly as Jesus talks about in John 7:38.

He was so excited that he called over his friend and fellow Ticket Seller, George who also had pain in his back, and told him to let me pray for him.  However, when I started to pray for George, I suddenly realized that this would be a terrific opportunity to activate Ramone in the grace of healing (it is not really a special “gift” of healing but a “charisma” in Greek or “grace effect” of having and operating in the Holy Spirit given to every believer that will simply walk in it and exercise it by faith) and let him heal his friend George .   Continue reading On Top Of The World

Sending The Message To Liberia

After a week at the JGLM Annual Conference, it was time to go home.  I had arranged for a shuttle to pick me up at my hotel and take me to the airport.  When the shuttle arrived, the driver greeted me with a big, friendly smile as he took my suitcase.  I introduced myself and he told me his name was Tucker.  He had a bit of an accent but he spoke good English.  I quickly learned that he was from Liberia and that he and his wife wanted to move back there next year.  Liberia, I looked it up, is a country about the size of the state of Maine on the west coast of Africa nestled between Sierra Leone, Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire.

Coat_of_arms_of_REPUBLIC_OF_LIBERIA_in_1921He asked me what I did and I shared with him that I was a minister.  I also explained that I was here in Dallas at a conference this past week to learn how to train people in healing.  “So you can really heal people?” he questioned me.  “Yes.  Do you have any pain in your body?” I asked him.  “Oh, yes!  My back is really hurting right now.” he responded.  “No problem.” I said, “Let me pray for you”.   Continue reading Sending The Message To Liberia

Going Nuts – Lady Vendor Gets Instantly Healed

candiednutsDavid Hobday, one of our team members, was with us in New York City on one of our mission trips when he wanted to buy some nuts from a street vendor.  As he was paying for the nuts, he casually asked her if she had any pain in her body.  She said that she had pain in her back.

So Dave offered to pray for her back and she accepted.  After he prayed and commanded the pain to go and her back to be healed, he told her to look for the pain.  She politely ignored his instructions and thanked him.  Like most people, she did not expect anything to happen.   Continue reading Going Nuts – Lady Vendor Gets Instantly Healed

Shopping For Healings

Most people go shopping for food or clothes or something else.  I go shopping for healings.

shoppingcartMy wife likes it that I volunteer to go shopping for her, even if it sometimes takes a lot longer than usual.  That’s because I seek to find people in need of prayer so I can pray for them and set them free.  And the best place to find people is to go where most people go…shopping!   Continue reading Shopping For Healings

Homeless, Healed & Blessed

Laura hugThe biggest problem most homeless people face is identity theft.  Think about it.  In our complex society, you need a valid ID, a driver’s license or a passport to be able to buy an airplane ticket and to board an airplane.  One of the requirements to obtain a valid ID is a birth certificate which, if you have no money or resources, is almost impossible to secure.

Homeless people are exposed all the time.  We have witnessed the brazen theft of a cup of change from one homeless woman by another homeless thug in broad daylight right in front of our noses.  She was so distraught that she started crying.  However, we were able to bless her and many other people around her, who had also witnessed this atrocity, and who came rushing to her aid stretching forth their hands with $20 bills.  She was so elated and comforted once again. Continue reading Homeless, Healed & Blessed

Crushed Legs Instantly Healed

My wife and I were casually shopping at IKEA and decided to have lunch there.  After we sat down at our table somewhere in the middle of the dining room, a man with a cane slowly mozied by our table and headed to a table in the back.  When we finished, I said to her, “Why don’t you take the trays so I can go minister to that man back there?”  She agreed and I went to go find him.

Ikea mb“How did you know I was here?” He asked amazed that I had even noticed him.  I had introduced myself to him as a minister who prays for people and God heals them and asked if I could pray for him since I had noticed he was walking with a cane.  His name was Laurence and he explained that his legs were crushed by the Japanese during the war.   Continue reading Crushed Legs Instantly Healed

Did You Believe That You Received?

I can’t really remember when it started but it was about 22 years ago.  It was a pain in my left shoulder and arm that went all the way down to my hand.  It started gradually but got worse every day until I could not use my hand or move my arm at all without experiencing severe pain.  It even hurt while I was sleeping and would wake me up if I turned in my bed.

It was most annoying, not to mention, most uncomfortable.  One day my young son came running up to me and said “Hey, dad!” while he tapped on my hand.   I almost went through the roof.  “What’s wrong with your hand?” he asked.  “Nothing.” I said.  I did not want him to know or to worry that there was anything wrong.  The closest thing I could describe it as would be rheumatoid arthritis although I don’t really know because I never went to a doctor to have it checked out.  Partly because I did not want a doctor to establish a name for it but mostly because I wanted the Lord to heal it.

After much praying and reflection I firmly believed itGuitachord to be a spiritual attack from the enemy.  I played guitar in church and had pretty much devoted my life to only writing, playing and singing Christian music.  I knew that the enemy did not like that and I was convinced that it was a demonic attack to prevent me from glorifying the Lord with my playing music.   Continue reading Did You Believe That You Received?

Missing Person Found Same Day

On July 7th of 2016 at 2:42 PM, I received an urgent prayer request from JGLM headquarters entitled “Missing Person, NJ”.  Here is what the message said:

I live in NJ and Clarissa is my daughter, 35 and is having a mental, physical problems. She is missing, and I need prayer for her. I need every prayer for restoration and healing and freedom, I know God can restore. Please call me.

I called the requestor who was her mother, Francine (all names have been changed to protect their identities).  She was frantic that her daughter, with mental issues, had left her house several days ago without a trace of where she went.  She had been calling everyone she knew to no avail.  Now she was asking for prayer for her daughter to be found and restored to her.   Continue reading Missing Person Found Same Day

Hot Dog And A Healing

Since my wife was out for dinner with one of her longtime friends, I decided to stop in to my favorite hot dog stand, Rutt’s Hut in Clifton, NJ, on the way home from ministering at the Goodwill Rescue Mission in Newark.  I’m not really a big hot dog fan but their relish is out of this world!

This is an indoor stand with eating counters all around and two stand up eating tables in the middle.  As I was thoroughly enjoying my meal at ripperthe one stand up table, I overheard two young guys speak Spanish at the next stand up table.  They had finished their meal and were now finishing their beers.  I was just about done and thought to myself I have two choices. One, I could just leave and all I would have had was a meal.  Or, two, I could strike up a conversation with these guys and see what the Lord makes of it.  I decided for the latter as it was a much more exciting prospect.   Continue reading Hot Dog And A Healing
