A Real Punch in the Face to the Devil!!
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Dear Brethren in Christ,
Yesterday we flew into Dallas, and in the evening began the Advanced Training. This is our very first Training in the city of Dallas, and we are now in the seed-planting stage.
The Lord was gracious to anoint us to teach His word to those who came last night. At the end of the session He confirmed the word by healing some people who had knee problems… One middle-aged servant of God was able to jump up and down with no problem from his previously arthritic knees after a sister laid hands on him.
Please pray that the Lord will bring His servants to be equipped today, and to continue to grant me strength and wisdom to teach them. Tonight at 7 PM there will be an evangelistic healing service for the lost and the infirm where we will apply what has been taught. Pray that the Lord will anoint me to proclaim the gospel to the lost and use the trained brethren to heal the sick to demonstrate to them that Jesus has authority to forgive sin and grant eternal life.
Below is a report on last Sunday’s outdoor evangelistic healing outreach in Houston following the Basic Training at Encourager Church on Saturday. It was written by Chris Villasana, a young man whom I appointed to preach the gospel at the meeting and lead the ministry to the infirm. (Lucille and I were not there.)
“The event was a real punch in the face to the devil!
Many believers were out praying with the lost and witnessing to them before the “ministry” ever began. Every one was so fired up to finally be able to put this new found healing power to use!
When the preaching ended and the people came up to be healed, a young lady was delivered from depression. She had said that she was suffering from a horrible depression and when the believers laid hands on her and began to rebuke it she had been set free from all of the heart ache and knew that Jesus loved her.
Another brother had been in the car wreck four months prior, and it had left him with a knee on its way to recovery, yet still weak, and an ankle with bones that had healed wrong taking away the ability to turn it well forcing him into a bad limp. A few brothers laid their hands about his whole leg, and took authority over the pain, the bones, the tendons, the swelling, the inflammation, and the knee.
This man was walking normal afterwards and said there had been a drastic healing.
Afterwards, five people gave their lives to Jesus, repented of their sins, and wanted to follow the Lord Jesus with all of their hearts.
Two of them were lesbians who had come together as a couple. Another was a boy around 15 years old, and the other two were a Mexican man, and his pregnant girlfriend. He had been so changed when he met the Lord Jesus Christ that he could not even stop smiling even if he tried! He was so changed by the love of God!”
Sincerely in Christ,
William & Lucille in Dallas
