"But Peter said, 'I
have no gold or silver, but what I have I give you; in the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth, stand up and walk.' And he took him by the right hand and raised
him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. Jumping up, he
stood and began to walk, and he entered the temple with them, walking and
leaping and praising God" (Acts 3:6-8).
A lady near the back of
the sanctuary kept holding the back of her neck, as I began teaching my
equipping session Saturday afternoon. She had been away from the Lord for some
time. But she and her husband felt drawn to come the little Methodist Church in
the country with the big sign out by the highway about "Supernatural Ministry."
Our team was leading this weekend at Pastor Gay Loy's church in northern
Indiana. He wanted his people to have "An Aldersgate Experience"-connecting
their spiritual heritage with the Moravian prayer meeting on Aldersgate Street
in London where John Wesley was filled with the Holy Spirit to begin the
Methodist Revival movement that burned across England and on to America in the
eighteen hundreds.
As I tried to teach,
Your Holy Spirit strongly impressed upon me, "Stop and go pray for her right
now." All I could think was "Yes, Lord." Suzy said the was in excruciating pain
that morning and almost didn't come. She was intense pain now. We stretched out
our hands toward her and prayed for the healing warmth of Your Holy Spirit to
relax her and realign her spirit, soul, and body in the mighty name of Jesus.
After we prayed, I asked her how she was doing. She burst into tears to declare,
"All the pain's gone!"
Praise You, Lord. You
are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals us (Exodus 15:26). With a giant smile on
her face, Suzy was laughing and leaping and praising God in her spirit. Her
family came to church Sunday morning and she came up front at the altar call to
surrender her life completely to You. What an Aldersgate experience, what a Holy
Spirit breakthrough encounter of supernatural ministry she had this
weekend!
Lord, we ask for
more-more of Your love, more of Your power, more of You in our lives. This is
our spiritual heritage as the Body of Christ (Acts 1:8). In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
