Whenever I get a sense that the Lord is directing me to change something at the last minute, my antenea go up. That usually means He intends to do something unique--watch for it.

Two weeks ago, I began having the strong sense that I needed to approach Dana Olson to join our team of keynote speakers for Empowered. We did not need another speaker, but we could fit one in. So in the course of two days, I went from hearing from the Lord to finalizing arrangements for Dana ot be on our team. I wonder what message the Lord is giving him for us.
 
Another individual that was added after our original line-up was set, was businessman Ted Kallman. Ted will be doing seminars on prayer, faith and healing. He had a tremendous ministry on our team at last year's Empowered. Ted is a man who God is uniquely using to see hundreds--even thousands--of people receive physical and emotional healing through the weekly mid-week prayer services at his church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
 
Here are some of the miracles that occurred this last month at the "W" as this session is called (For the "Wrestling Team).

• A woman came to the “W” with severe Fibro Myalgia and MS. As she was prayed for the pain disappeared and she was able to stand without falling over (not possible when she came in).  Thank you Father.
• A man with 4th stage Prostate Cancer and Bone Cancer (metastasized, fourth stage) had heard about the “W” from a friend who had been freed from a Cocaine addiction via prayer at our little service. He was determined to come and be prayed for. His car broke down at the corner of Wilson and Chicago Drive and would not restart. He got out and pushed it into a parking lot but as he pushed he heard a pop and his arm began to hurt. He and his wife walked the mile to Dunkin Donuts (close to Mars but a mile from the breakdown). He was in such pain that he could not go on.  A man getting an ice cream cone had just dropped off his kids at Mars and offered to take them to the “W.” As the man got into the car he heard another pop and his hip started to hurt as well.  He got out of the car at the entrance to Mars but could not walk any further. We took the whole service out to the parking lot and swarmed him in prayer. We offered to take him to emergency but he was determined to be with us in worship and prayer so we got a wheel chair and rolled him in.  The pain had diminished as we prayed but he was still uncomfortable. After the “W” he finally let us take him to the hospital where he was admitted and had surgery soon thereafter. He had a broken arm from pushing the car and a broken femur from getting into the other car. With all of that going on he still had a tenacious desire to be in God’s presence and to be prayed for at the “W.” He is home now (released early) and looking forward to coming again. God, bless the tenacious faith of Your son who pushed through the crowd to touch the edge of Your garment.  Bless him indeed.
• While we were re-starting the “W” one of the intercessors was prompted to go with this man’s wife back to the car to see if he could help with the mechanical issue. When they got to the car he said “in the name of Jesus, start” and it fired right up. The phrase “Speak to the mountain“ comes to mind.
• A man from Finlay, Ohio heard about the “W” through some teaching tapes his pastor heard. He checked out our trustworthiness with a man who is the executive pastor of one of the largest churches in West Michigan who also serves on the Ohio man’s non-profit board. He got an affirmation so drove up with his wife and 16 year-old daughter for prayer. His daughter has 4th stage metastases cancer and has had nine chemo treatments in the last three years and they were losing hope. One of the people who came to the “W” that night had been healed of Parkinson’s and only been there one other time in the last year. He sat right next to this family. The man from Ohio leaned over and asked “Are you on Chuck Roost’s board?” Our guy said “Yes, how did you know.” The same exec pastor that he had called to verify our ministry has his own non-profit organization apart from the church and the Ohio guy had seen this gentleman at a meeting where they were all in attendance. We swarmed his daughter and then they drove home. While at the “W” we did the box. This is where our ministry time consists of everyone writing out requests, all are put in a box and we anoint and swarm the box in prayer. This family from Ohio had written a note for the box that read “God, if you want us to verify this healing via a new PET scan then have the doctor call us so we know it is of You.” The next day the doctor, from her home, called and said she wanted the girl to have another PET scan and it is scheduled now to happen. I talked to the father last week and he said his daughter has not smiled this much in three years. And she has felt so good that she has not missed a single day of school since we prayed for her. God, You are gracious in confirming Your work and blessed Your children with answers that are immediate and powerful and could only come from You. Thank You again.
• A man needed peace and wisdom in a very difficult family situation. God washed him over with peace. Father, Your name is peace and we thank You for operating according to the character of Your name. Shalom.
• A woman needed to see a doctor regarding adjustment of her medications relating to a release from a local Psychological Hospital. She did not have insurance and everywhere she called turned her down. As she was driving down Leonard Ave the Holy Spirit said “turn in here.” She did and it was a clinic. The person at the desk said “you don’t have insurance do you?” and our gal said no. She said “Good, that is the only clients we serve. Our 4 O’clock just canceled, can you see the doctor now?” and she went right in. The doctor reduced her med’s because she is doing so well and she was rejoicing the God had shown her the way when there was no way.
• A woman was having trouble sleeping. After prayer she has slept through the night ever since.  We bless you Healing Lord.
• A story came in where a cousin with a cancerous tumor was prayed for via “the box” and a week later reported that the tumor was gone, as well as the cancer and the doctor cannot explain why.  We can. Father, Your children pray and You answer still today.
• An intercessor that is a part of the WT was led to talk to a person in line at a resort down south. It resulted in sharing a meal. When the people found out that they were a part of Mars Hill they rejoiced because their son had seen some "Pneuma’s" by Rob Bell and that was the catalyst that brought him back into relationship with God. Father, You take us far and wide to encourage Your flock and to be encouraged by them.
• A young boy was prayed for at the “W” for panic attacks. They stopped. Bless God.
