thank YOU, LORD

we just returned to the hotel from a church which translates to 'living rock church' and pumped up for what the LORD has done tonight. GOD'S people who were young, old, infants, single married, teens, etc were in attendance.

their corporate worship was awesome! their leader even shared a song before the sermon that GOD had begun impressing upon him a couple weeks ago, that he just finished. thank YOU, LORD, for its simplicity, purity, and honesty of every heart's desire to love YOU and welcome YOU in. we all praised together, americans, brits, and brazilians in one accord! what an encouragement to witness and experience together in exalting HIS NAME. GOD honored the worship by breaking down the language barrier to where we joined with them in portuguese!

after the sermon was shared, many on our team shared words of knowledge that GOD had revealed to them. things such as headaches in someone's frontal lobe to even congenital heart disease were revealed. as the words of knowledge were shared, those in the congregation were asked to stand if the words pertained to them. the congregation was not receiving this initially with open arms. however, GOD'S children began to rise as members of the team began to pray over the entire congregation as words of knowledge were shared and people stood. some were healed as they stood i.e. an older woman with knee problems who could now bend and stand with no issues.

after the congregation seeing (2) two of their own healed, they were all invited up front with us for prayer and the HOLY SPIRIT carried HIS miracles for us to witness and not only grow the faith of their congregation, but ours as well. here is the count of what GOD accomplished through our team tonight. fyi- we 'officially' only keep count of those that are 80% healed or more:

(1) one lame cripple walked
(1) one rededication
(8) eight emotional healing
(45) forty five physical healing
(1) one deaf gained hearing
(1) one blind gained sight

thank you, LORD, for YOUR work that you have done tonight. we now ask for MORE, LORD, MORE! in the name of JESUS, expand and continue fine-tuning YOUR gifts entrusted to us for YOUR service as we go from place to place to visit our brazilian brothers and sisters. we find rest in YOU tonight hunger for more because we love YOU. we pray these things in JESUS' matchless NAME. amen.
