Wayne's World...(9Sep09)

Some Testimonies
 
1) Irene's Healing 

On Friday night we prayed for Irene, who works for Jeff and Lynn. Irene has cancer. She suffers from constant pain in the stomach area, and battles to sleep as a result. Irene also battles to keep food down, and would vomit after drinking tea or coffee. She also battled to urinate as it was extremely painful, this has previously resulted in Irene being admitted to the hospital. We laid our hands on Irene and rebuked the sickness. Immediately I felt heat and anointing go out my hands and into Irene's body. I asked Jeff to ask Irene if she felt anything happen. Jeff translated our English into Xhosa. Irene said she felt heat come into her body, and said the pain had left. We prayed for her again, releasing more anointing power. Irene was crying, and we knew something significant had happened.

The next day as Irene arrived at work she gave us the good news. The said that as she was sleeping "pastor" appeared to her in a dream, she said "pastor" told her not to worry but to go to sleep and when she wakes up in the morning she will be healed. Irene also said that "pastor" put a white robe on her.

Irene said that when she woke up she felt well. She went to the toilet and for the first time in ages was able to have a wee without it being painful. She then drank two cups of coffee and did not throw up. All the pain was also gone, and she had slept through the night.

On the taxi her friends remarked that she looked much better, Irene told them that she had been healed. Irene insisted on coming to testify at the church on Sunday morning, which she did do (after eating two big bowls of porridge, and not vomiting).

I then had the awesome privilege of telling her that the robe was the robe of righteousness, the symbol of the gift of righteousness to those who believe. She loved learning that she is holy blameless and perfect in His sight! 

2) Jill's testimony 

I was at home and the presence of God came on me. I felt power and energy building up on the inside of me. Eventually I had to go preach the gospel. I went to the local taxi rank where I preached the glorious gospel of grace. While I preached one guy took out his knife, which had been used on several crimes and threw it down on the floor. Another person took out a packet of drugs, pills, from his pocket and threw them down on the floor.

I prayed for them and it was amazing...I cant believe God used me like that, I don't even have it all together. 

3)Tom's testimony...

(Name has been changed)

I saw Tom at the back of the church crying and being ministered to very deeply by a prayer team and the Holy Spirit. Afterwards I spoke to Tom, keen to know what Father had done for/to him. Tom said

" I have never been touched before, but today I encountered God for the first time"..

Tom was released from jail a week or so before, and is a recovering drug addict.

Praise God. 

4) Tyde's Encounter

When I got back from the Port Alfred trip on the 7th September 2009, Tyde told me of his angelic encounter.

"Dad I had a vision, but it was not a vision because I really saw it. I saw an angel standing in the blue light, and I was lying on the bed feeling like it was preaching to me. And I was feeling happy when I saw the angel standing in the blue light. The angel said "no matter what bad things you do, Jesus will always love and forgive you". His whole body was blue, but he had wings and they were blue and white."

Quote from Dayspring

"I've got a God who loves me and seeks my highest good.
He will guide me.
He will protect me.
He will provide for me.
I will not say the Lord is my Shepherd and
live like I don't have one."
 
 

 


A quote from Dayspring

"Worship is a crucifixion of the priorities of self interest.
Religion is self interest in the guise of worship and
good works."

Love Louisa...(3Sep09)

Hi everyone

I've been meditating on what I wrote last time, about longing for the presence of God that happens when we meet together. I've given it a lot of thought and I'm trying to work out how I feel and what I mean. And I've come to a sort of conclusion that it's not just a meeting with people for meetings sake but for His presence sake. I listened to Bertie Brits speak this weekend-highly recommended-www.dynamicministries.co.za, and he said he loves to meet casually with Gods people but if God and His ways and glorious doings aren't discussed he gets frustrated and disappointed! I understand what he means-we are just so desperate for a touch from God and evidence of His glory that sometimes nothing else will do.

But for me there is a tension between Word and Spirit on the one hand and people for Glory sake and people for relationship, for love sake. Rob Rufus teaches on the importance of hearing Gods Word and experiencing His powerful glorious presence-being drunk and recklessly joyful, in gay abandon experiencing all that He has for us. We need both equally.

And I'm beginning to understand that the desperate need for His physical presence and all that brings can override every thing else. I feel desperate and hard to live with. And it becomes almost a striving to get to that place no matter what it takes and then it becomes work…and I'm back in law. I begin to feel tired, inadequate and sometimes frustrated, with myself and those who haven't yet experienced and become addicted to this Glory experience, as I have. Forgetting how patient people and God are with me!! Does this make sense to anyone?

This is when I have to go back to Gods word and once again realize what grace really means and that I don't have to desperately, work at seeking His presence but that He Himself dwells permanently in me!!!!

When I meditate on His word, both in the bible and in my ear, my love for him and others wells up and out of me. And I begin to realize the preciousness of people and the importance God has placed on relationship. Then I can enjoy being with people, feel powerfully God in me, because I believe what he has promised and already done AND be gloriously drunk in His presence. This is the gospel of peace. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on His own, with no help from us! Then He picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus our Messiah.
Now God has us where He wants us, with all the time in the world to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all His idea, and all His work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. Ephesians 2: Message Bible.

Thank goodness it's not an all or nothing move of God, but a lot of everything, all working together to make me and the world a much better place…

Lots of love
Louisa
