The Fear of the Lord (1)
Heart transformed and healing manifested
Since the beginning of the renewal meetings the Lord has been encountering me in what I used to call my “quiet time”. It has been very profound and there is nothing quiet about it anymore.
I began to cry out to the Lord for myself, my family and the House of Prayer for renewal to come. Over the next few weeks I felt different inside. I was walking toward some glass doors enclosed in large plate glass windows on my way into work one day. I saw my reflection in the window and although I didn’t look any different than I have in a while… I heard a voice say in my head, “You look really good!”. I was shocked! I kept thinking to myself that I had never heard that voice before and it made me actually chuckle out loud.
That night I went to the prayer room and after my set was over I told my team and it was solidified by my confession… I am okay with who and how you made me Lord!!! Wow!
That same night I found a small jewel on the platform during worship which I felt like it was the Lord just saying… I am His jewel, small, sparkly and clear.
Four days later on Friday night during the EGS I was sitting with some little girls who belong to a friend. My neck, which has 3 fused vertebrae was hurting profusely at the time when I heard Gary say that one of the young prophetic men in the hop had brought him a word that the Lord wanted to heal people who’s bodies were being held together by plates and screws. Would we stand for prayer? I stood, all the while thinking about how many times I had asked for prayer in the past and how nothing had ever happened. I had no faith! Some sisters from the prayer room came around me and prayed. Gary asked for people to see if they had more flexibility than before. I just still had pain and nothing had changed. They prayed again and I felt my neck become very hot… sweat broke out and I asked one of the girls to touch my neck and feel the heat. She did and can testify that my neck had intense heat in it. Then, almost immediately the pain left and has been gone ever since.
I personally believed that the Lord wanted me to sense His emotions for me and how much He loved me… then the healing came.

Breathing free after weeks of Bronchitis
I have had bronchitis for over two weeks and some trouble breathing. My doctor gave me an inhaler which I was using even more than prescribed. Having to use the inhaler is a very oppressive and demonic feeling to me because albuterol makes me anxious and makes my heart race. Six years ago I had post traumatic stress and panic disorder and using the inhaler makes me feel like I might have a panic attack. A very bad feeling for someone who has been delivered of panic attacks!
I could not even get through a deep breath without coughing and choking before arriving to the prayer room on Monday night. That night while Kaye and Jeff prayed for me, I said ‘God I know I have an inheritance in this outpouring and I am back and I want it. I want to be healed of my food allergies.’ God said to me, ‘tonight your inheritance is my presence as oxygen.’ I started laughing and breathing really deep breaths. It felt so good to breathe deep after weeks of not being able to. I am still a little congested but I have had no problems breathing since and have not used the inhaler again.
I love how Shelly said your job as the patient is to be still and let the Healer touch the areas he wants to touch. Jesus, continue to massage the heart of your bride! We want everything you have for us!
Knee injury and depression healed
This summer I fell down the stairs and injured my right knee and left ankle. I never went to see the doctor, simply praying that all would work itself out. After a couple of months my ankle was fine but my right knee had “stalled” out in any further improvements. I could walk and run without issue but whenever I sat still it would lock up and be extremely stiff. Getting out of bed in the morning took some “warm up” time before I could put weight on my right leg. I also could not kneel. My knee would hurt and bounce back like a rubber band if I tried to kneel. Several times I had people pray over my knee without any physical results but my faith was holding firm that someday God would heal me.
The Friday before Thanksgiving during the EGS service prayer was offered for people struggling with depression. Even though I was on the worship team I raised my hand since I have a strong history of depression and seasonal affective disorder. As soon as people started praying for me I started wailing! It was like the depression was screaming it’s way out of me. I don’t like to be touched and I get uncomfortable when people lay hands on me or hug me but during this prayer time 3 women cuddled me like a little child and sang in my ears and I ENJOYED IT! It was like Jesus was holding me and rocking me.
After this prayer time another woman called me over to pray for me. She said some very specific words from the Lord that hit me right in my spirit. Then I sat down and after about 10 minutes I suddenly realized that my knee was not hurting and was not stiff! I felt God tell me that I was healed but I didn’t believe it. Later, I went back up with the worship team to sing and decided to test if I could kneel. There I was, on the stage, kneeling then standing up, over and over!! God has totally healed my knee and my depression! During the winter I use a full spectrum light therapy lamp to ward off the seasonal depression. I have not used it once since this night! And God is doing a good work in other areas such as forgiveness and acceptance. God is so good!
