Last Thursday the wife(Ashley), kid(Christian) and I headed to the mall to meet up with Dan and Dawn, and Josh and Krystal for some ‘street’ action. Ash and I got there first and pretty much right when we walked into the mall 2 of the kids from my last post, who were part of the younger group at the table, came up to me and asked if I was “the guy that grows legs”? Ha. It was funny. They practically hurried over cuz they had a friend with them and wanted me to grow his out. So we checked them and it grew…surprise!
Their friend said he was a pagan/samarian so we chatted about that. I probably talked to them for a good 30+ minutes, then Dakota (the one that had his leg grown in the last post) said his calf was hurting so I had them pay attention, cuz John (the pagan, ha that felt weird typing that) had said that he believed in pressure points, which was a far stretch cuz that was his response to his leg growing. Anyways I made sure there was pain and had Dakota test it, which it would hurt when he touched it or stretched out, then I commanded the pain to go and it went bye bye. Dakota was shocked again and I told them, without being too rude, that John’s gods couldn’t show us power. I then spoke more love to them then left. (Kimble was the other kid’s name just in case he reads this)
By this time Josh/Krystal and Dan/Dawn were already in the mall praying for people (not sure what happened). We then headed to the south part of the mall and on the way I saw a guy with a red cast on. So I caught up with him and his friend and come to find out they were a little drunk (God will still encounter with love). I still asked what happened and if he had pain. He said that he went over to a guys house who was suppose to fight him and ended up punching the guys car cuz he wouldn’t come out…I told him if there’s a next time that he shouldn’t punch metal objects. He said there was pain and that the side of his hand was broken. So I asked if I could pray for it and he was open. I told him to watch this…I commanded it to be whole and for all pain to leave, ect. I then asked him how it was and he said it was numb…I said “No pain?” and said that there wasn’t any. I had him move it and he started freaking out. He supposedly couldn’t even bend it and his pinky was pointing inward before and now he could bend it all the way and his pinky was normal with no pain (I believed him since he ended up telling me that several times that night.) ha BOOM!! Thank you JESUS! Me and Josh then got to just love on the guys (Jake and Blake) for another good 1/2 hr. Blake who was the friend, was a christian and had been just going to church, but not really experiencing the Lord and was so thankful that I came when I did and more thankful that I reached his friend, which he said that Jake was the last person he saw coming to God. They both felt loved. Jake was telling me that he was so glad that someone cared about him and now he knew that God loved him. He kept saying that I saved his life, cuz he had been in jail for a few days earlier in the month and he told himself he didn’t want to live like that. It was a funny and just awesome experience. A broken had crush by Papas love.
We then made our way through the mall and found a group of guys and asked if they had physical pain. They were at first joking about it, but we let them know that we were serious and that it would go. We followed them outside where a bigger group of girls were and one of them finally told us he had back pain, so we got him to let us check his legs, which one was short. We grew it out but he didn’t feel it, tho we watched it. So, he still wasn’t convinced, not a big deal we still loved him.
I then made my way over to the ladies (ha) while Dan and Josh chatted with the guys. I asked if any of them had physical pain and then asked if any of them had a short leg and one of them raised there hand. So, I was gonna have one of the other girls hold the legs for me but the girl that raised her hand didn’t want to, that I had already prayed for her TMJ… I was then like “do what?…oh ya! pac sun”. I remembered that a few weeks earlier I had prayed for her in pac sun where she worked, but I didn’t see any results. She was then like “ya, you already prayed for me I’m fine”. So I then said “wait…so it’s gone?” and she said ya. BOOM²!! This was my first follow up. I was so pumped! AHH!!! ha. When you touch someone, Holy Spirit touches them! Know that! Anyways she ended up leaving and in the end the whole thing really just turned into a attempt to show and tell cuz most of them wouldn’t let us do anything and still said they didn’t believe…Jake and Blake showed up and told them what happened but they didn’t tell them in the best ways ha (drunk). We still loved on them tho.
Then we headed to the park where some people get together and have a little service, but the spot that they normally have it was a meeting for local atheists. So we decided to join and love. They had drinks and pretzels…good stuff. We heard them arguing about the difference between Agnostic and Atheist…interesting. They then turned their attention toward us, which I was not interested in debating. I know that they would have the edge there, I just wanted to love them and treat them like a human. We did get to grow a guys leg out but they had a whole bunch of reasons otherwise and they didn’t even notice it. I just thot it was awesome loving them for real. Some other people came over from the service and started talking, which turned into arguing, a bit frustrating but only cuz we are called to love and to show them. Maybe next time we’ll manifest more kingdom of God, which would make it pretty hard to deny. I just set myself to listen and love. Enough with that. It was fun. A bit sad at times but God loves them so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much!
That was pretty much the night, which was good!
Friday I was family-less and had the whole night to me-self. So around 9 I headed to Citywide to pick up Michael Clyde and Fish (Felecia) to hit main street. Fridays and Saturdays Joplin’s main street is being cruised by our “cool” youth. Once parked we headed toward the crowds. Our first crowd we got to pray for a guy that was a christian and spoke some identity to him. We then hit the next group and asked if anyone had any pain and one of the guys in the back of the truck said his foot hurt from something he had done earlier. I told him to give it here and to watch. I commanded the pain to go in Jesus name and I said check. He moved it around then started looking at his friends saying “for real dude”…ha. Then another kid spoke up and said his thumb hurt to the touch. I had him touch it and I even touched to make sure he could feel the pain, then we commanded it to go and boom…it was gone. We then prayed for a guys back, which they all knew had pain, and it was gone. They were all ears after that. I got to preach gospel and tell them how much they are loved. I have found that most of the people around here have heard it all and have been through the “church” system. So, when we come around they are caught off guard to our genuineness and power/love.
Then we made our way across the street and Fish prayed for some girls’ legs good times. Then grew another guys leg after he jokingly asked me if I had any physical pain, I took that as an open door. Then we came to a group sitting on a car and one of the girls had a wrap on her foot/ankle, so I asked what happened and she said that she had kick a door and said that it was fractured. We prayed and had her check it and was a little soar still…but major decrease. Then we hit it again and had her check and still a little soar…hit it again and it was good.
We asked her friend if she had any pain and she said she had back pain. We told her that she probably had a short leg and Fish checked it and ta da…Jesus is good…it grew and she had no pain. We then spoke identity and authority, which their grandpa or someone was a preacher but hadn’t really heard what we were talking about…hmmm crazy. I won’t look down on them cuz I was there. Church needs to rise up and be who she is for the worlds sake. We then got turned down and got some agua (we were crazy thirsty). On our way to a bar we saw a kid at a gas station with crutches, which is just a red bulls-eye for us, so we stopped and asked what was up. He told us his foot was ran over and that it hurt…ha. I actually recognized him from somewhere and he said that we prayed for him at the park once. Then I remembered that we had grew him and his friend’s legs out a while back. So I told him to watch this and we commanded all pain to leave and I told to check it. He moved it and looked up at us with a surprised smile. “Pain?” I said and he said no. He then just stepped off the crutches and walked. It was pretty awesome. God is good. We left there and we hit a bar and got there too late cuz they were close, which meant every one was to drunk to realize what we were doing. I did talk to a “baptist” dude, which got kinda awkward cuz I wanted respect him, but I disagreed with a lot of what he was saying
, but I love him. ha, I’m glad God has allowed us to take part in Love.
Other stuff has happen since friday too since lyfestyle just never stops or at least we try not to. I just hope you are encouraged. You can live this cuz He put Himself in you. You guys are amazing.
You’ll also notice I didn’t go into as much detail as usual cuz I have been sitting on this draft for awhile and wanted to get it out there.
peace and grace!
