Amazing Healing

I had been feeling somewhat discouraged over recent weeks, mainly because I haven't seen many specific answers to prayer nor any obvious supernatural healings, but Friday evening Town Centre outreach changed that.

We had an amazing evening on Friday in the town centre. We spoke to lots of people and prayed for several.  Towards the end of the evening two young men came up to the table to find out what we were doing.

I explained what Outside Light was and that we were there to share God's love with people.  We had a general chat and I shared the Gospel with them.  They said that they didn't believe but that they were open to other people's ideas.

One of the two young men, Sean, then very abruptly said: "Sorry, we've got to go." and started walking off.  As he walked away he slowed down and then leant over by a raised flowerbed, looking unwell.  I went over to where he was and asked him what was wrong.  He explained that he had just suddenly started feeling very unwell with severe stomach pain and sickness.  He said that he thought he might need to call an ambulance.

I offered to pray for Sean and he accepted so I asked God to bring His Kingdom to us and commanded the sickness out of Sean's body in Jesus' name.  Sean said that he did feel a bit better, which I took as an encouragement.

I asked Sean if I could pray for him again and he agreed.  I verbally broke the power of the enemy over Sean's life and commanded all pain and sickness out if his body.  At this point Sean stood up with a huge smile on his face.

I asked him if he felt better and he said; "I don't just feel better, I feel great!  What did you do?"

Sean and his friend then came back to the table and I was able to explain the power of God for them both.  Sean acknowledged that God had touched him and said that he woud definitely look more into the Christian faith.  They both took a Mark's Gospel with them.
 

We had a great sense of God being with us. Well done to the team for coming out and thank you to those who have been praying for us!
 

A great evening all round and certainly helped me to dismiss some of those doubts in God's love and power that had crept in.
