Proclaim His salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among the peoples.
(Psalm 97:2-3)
The other day I posted on facebook telling you to read one of my friends blogs about a healing that happened through our prayers. I said that I was not going to write about it but I have been nudged by God to share this story with you so here it is…
A few days ago I went out into the village of Candelaria to evangelize. Those who went with me were Allegra, Lisa, Rosa, and Coni. The first house we visited was Rosa’s brother. He was beat up by some guys in the neighborhood 8 days before we visited him so Rosa wanted to take us to his house so we could pray over him.
As I was praying for Him, the Holy Spirit started telling me to ask him to forgive the guys who beat him up. So I relayed that to him and he told me that he hadn’t forgave them yet then the Holy Spirit told me that He was not a believer. So I asked Him if he followed Jesus and he told me that He did not. So I was able share with him more about Jesus and how good he is. Then I told him how important it was for him to accept Jesus.
The Holy Spirit spoke through me in that conversation. We stayed there for about 20 or 30 minutes then we started making our way through the village.
The next house we came to was the house of a widow named Ingracia. We stopped so we could pray over her and when we did we quickly found out that there were other situations that needed prayer as well. Ingracia’s daughter, who has 6 children, completely left her kids with Ingracia and has not been back in 7 months. The oldest of Ingracia’s granddaughters was in the house lying on the bed with a fever and a stomach ache. So our immediate reaction was to pray for her.
Lisa, Allegra, Rosa, Coni, and I went to battle for this girl, Julissa, in prayer asking that the Lord would heal her of her sickness. We prayed and prayed. As we prayed I thanked God that He wanted to heal her and told Him that we did not want glory for this healing. When He healed his daughter we would give Him glory for it. While we were praying Allegra and Lisa had their hand on Julissa's forehead. In the middle of my time praying the Holy Spirit told me to put my hand on her head. So I moved my hand to her head and as I did I felt a blazing forehead. She definitely had a fever because I could feel how hot her head was.
Then about 2 minutes later Lisa, Allegra, and I all felt God take her fever away immediately! Her temperature immediately dropped and all of us recognized that God just took her fever away. About a minute later I received a vision from God. My eyes were closed and I saw the exact same picture of the little girl laying on her bed in my vision as I would have seen if my eyes were opened. And in the vision I saw the hand of God grasp the little girls head and bring healing to her!
After we were done praying Lisa asked Julissa if she felt the fever brake. She told Lisa that she knew that she had been healed in that moment.
We left the house shortly after Julissa was healed. I give glory to God for healing her! He is the one that broke her fever and I was one of the people who got to experience the healing. Even thought the miraculous happened, I don’t want to end the story there. This family needs your prayers. Ingracia is a grandmother who does not have the energy to provide what these six kids need. Please pray for the family as the Holy Spirit leads you to pray for them. The kids need a mommy who will love them so please pray the God will capture the mothers heart and bring her back to her kids.Pray for provision for the family. Their tummies need food and water.
