Healing on the Streets

Saturday outreach was explosive. I had a clear picture of Skidmore fountain at Saturday Market in Portland, last Saturday some epic things happened in the same spot and we filmed a part of the movie Heaven to Earth. When we got there, there was a conflict between the cops and the homeless, so we ended up praying for the cops and for the homeless. One guys neck got healed.

There were some street performers and one guy was contorting his body in unusual ways. After the show, I asked him if he had any pain in his body and he said his back was hurting but didn’t want me to pray. He said my prayer would mess with his energies and he needs to be in a certain state to perform. I told him that I’m not using energy but my friend the Holy Spirit loves to heal people, and then I said, “in fact, some times he just likes to heal people, check your back and let me know how it feels.” He looked shocked and said all the pain was gone in his back.

Right beside him, there were two ladies painting faces. I got to pray over them and one girl had constant pain in her arm and leg. After a quick prayer all the pain left. The other girl had pain in her back from a car accident and one leg that was shorter because her hips were out of line, Her leg shot even with no shoes on and all the pain left. Just then, another lady came up with tattoos on her face and started talking to them. She complained that her gout was hurting so I asked if I could pray. After praying, tears started streaming down her face and she said all the pain left. Then her friend asked if I could pray that he could get off drugs and she wanted to pray that too. She asked us to wait for her husband because he wanted prayer to get off drugs also so Nicole prayed over him.

We went to the Waterfront and ran into a group we ministered to Wednesday night. One guys said he back was still better and we prayed for him to be filled with the Spirit. After that, we prayed over a guy raising money for missions in Nigeria, he said when we prayed he felt something flow through his whole body.

After that, Peggy’s son and sons friends joined me and we went up to a couple with a baby and asked if we could pray. He said yes and I got a word over his back. He had back pain and it instantly left. Then I heard in my heart popping and knee so I asked him what was going on with his knee. He said he popped it out of place the day before and it was in constant pain. We all prayed over him and he said the second I put my hand on his knee he felt it shift back in place. All the pain left and the Lord revealed his detailed plan for his life and he was blown away how much confirmation that brought him. He wanted to be a drug counselor, and I saw a picture of him breaking chains of addiction. So many other things happened that day also.

I felt the theme of the day was going to be standing in peace and joy and having fun with God as He makes Himself known in power and love and that is exactly what happened. God is so good! Yay Jesus!
