Answering Prayer

Sunday evening was the bi-lingual worship service. We spend an extended time in praise and then in prayer with teams moving around the room praying for people. We heard the testimony of Florentino who lost his job because of a work-related back injury. Last week he came to the Spanish language service and Jesus healed his back. Now we are praying for a new job!

This week I was teamed with Gracie Ekblad. The first person we prayed for was Lolitto, a friend from Honduras who lives in the building. He had a lot of pain from a knot in his neck that spread down his arms and across his ribs. As Gracie prayed in Spanish, I prayed in tongues, asking Jesus to lift off the things that were burdening him. Lolitto said he was depressed, so I prayed for the Holy Spirit to come as Comforter, and he began to feel heat. We continued and in a few minutes the pain was all gone and he was feeling fire down his arms and hands. He has no pain today - thank You, Jesus!

We prayed for a single mom, who had come in after hearing that we communicate with spirits. Gracie was very clear that we communicate only with the Holy Spirit, so we began to pray for the Spirit to lift various things off her. She said she felt something pulled out of her and felt much better afterward. We strongly encouraged her to turn to Jesus and ask Him to inhabit all the rooms in her and for her to turn away from anything but Jesus so He could close all the doors that let those other things in, but she wasn't willing to do that. Jesus, continue to call her to Yourself.
