Last night as I was falling asleep, I prayed that God would show me His love in a fun way for Valentines, that it would be like a little Valentine to my spirit. He certainly didn’t disappoint.
Ladies and Gentleman, here is the testimony of our first physical healing of a community member here in Cairo…(drum roll).
So I was just finishing my time in the prayer room along with three of the other girls when two women come to our door asking about Family to Family boxes (program that provides food for families here). So Heather C is out talking to these two women and I’m eyeing the clock thinking if I should go home for lunch quick.
Heather comes into the room with one of the women and asks if we can pray for her. This woman shares a little about what she’s going through. Some financial concerns with utilities and also she’s had a migraine headache since last Tuesday.
So we start praying for all these things. Just speaking life and God’s truth of how he loves her and sees her, etc.
We stop and ask if the headache is better. She says no, and Amanda asks her where the headache is. She says behind her eyes. So we keep praying that the headache was going to leave – come out through her eyes. We canceled any witchcraft or curses spoken over her…just kept praying…heal her, Lord.
We finished and she looked up at us with tears rolling down her face. “It’s gone.” She said. The headache was gone.
She then began to thank Jesus over and over again telling us, “you have no idea! you have no idea how amazing this is, I haven’t been able to sleep, I’ve been in so much pain, and now it’s gone!!”
It was like seeing the Samaritan woman after she encountered Jesus and ran through the town full of joy telling everyone about Jesus! Her whole countenance was different – full of joy! She kept saying how good God was and how we couldn’t even imagine how good this was (that she felt). Her friend was encouraged too.
And then it gets better – we asked this woman to pray for Gary, who suffers from horrible migraines continually. She agreed joyfully to pray for Gary and just began to praise God for how good He is and praying for all to know the love of God. It was so amazing just listening to her praise God!! Jess asked her to put her hand on Gary’s head and just command the headaches leave in Jesus name. She did. Gary wasn’t having a heachache at that point, but we are believing the healing is coming! No more headaches…come on, Jesus!
I love the kindness of the Lord, seeing the joy in this woman’s face was the sweetest Valentine’s Day gift I may have ever gotten. To see the love of God touch someone’s life in such a tangible way – the kingdom of heaven become real in our midst- where pain is washed away. Amen, Lord. Amen.
We love you too, Jesus
