What a Ride!!

The past two months have been amazing! We have been blessed to be able to pour into our three young disciples; teaching them on evangelism, healing ministry, open-air preaching, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and street ministry. We spent many days on the streets of Atlanta, ministering to the homeless, drug-addicts, alcoholics, pimps, prostitutes and even some so-called "normal" people. During that time, we had several church groups from different parts of Atlanta and different states who came and stayed with us to be trained and equipped for power-evangelism. The testimonies of miracles that we witnessed are far too numerous to share here, but I will share a few highlights:
While carrying the big cross from the parking lot where we parked the bus to the park where we were going to eat lunch we saw a man with crutches leaning against a wall. We told him the Kingdom of Heaven had come near to him, and that if he would just give us his hand, Jesus Christ would heal him, RIGHT NOW! He did, and was instantly healed! The man sitting next to him was astonished, and asked us to pray for his knees. He was instantly healed as well! I saw a man with a cane and went over to minister to him. While doing so, I saw a woman coming down the sidewalk in a motorized wheelchair. I was hoping that one of the people on the team had stopped her and ministered to her. The man with the cane was healed and began to rejoice! When I turned around, I could see that the the team had already pulled the woman in the wheelchair up to a standing position. She had been unable to walk for twenty four years. She also had carpal-tunnel in both wrists, and was wearing braces on both arms. We ministered to her several times through the laying on of hands, and proclaiming healing in Jesus' name. In a few moments, all pain and weakness left her back and legs, and she began to walk! Her wrists were healed. She thought she was dreaming. She began to weep. The Lord told me to dance with her. So, I asked her to dance with me. With people on the team weeping for joy, along with this precious woman who was healed, we danced together on Peachtree Street in the middle of downtown Atlanta.

That was just 20 minutes out of one outreach! There were other miracles that same day. Several people fell on their knees and surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ right out in public. How do you share all that happened in eight weeks?! Every day that we went out to minister, we saw several people saved, healed and many received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. These three young men will never be the same! Jesus really rocked their world!! Over the eight weeks, we fed and ministered to the homeless at least ten times, ministered to people living in a local government housing project here in Covington several times, did open-air preaching on the streets of Atlanta several times, and passed out hundreds of Gospel tracts in Atlanta and in Athens, Georgia to university students. We also helped with a huge Halloween outreach at an Assemblies of God Church in Jackson, Georgia called, "Trail To Hell". Hundreds of people gave their lives to Jesus during this outreach, and there were dozens of people who received healing in their bodies. WOO HOO!

On the last Sunday the young men were with us, while attending service at Abundant Life A/G in Jackson, one of the leaders came to me and asked if I would help them pray for a man who had MS, and was unable to walk or even move his legs. When we got to him, he was sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway, and was completely helpless from the waist-down. After ministering to him for about twenty minutes, he could stand, but still could not take a step. We continued to minister to him in the name of Jesus. About ten minutes later, he could walk very slowly. We continued to minister to him. Within another fifteen minutes, he could walk, run and even leap! He was completely healed by the power of God, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! HALLELUJAH!!!!!
C'MON JESUS!!! One of our young disciples, Michael Sugar, was able to capture most of the healing on video using his i-phone. I will try and post a link to it as soon as it becomes available.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
