I finally get it! This faith thing. I never understood until now why you thanked God and praised Him for the answer to prayer before you received the answer. It’s not to placate God so He’ll do as you ask, no it’s call things that are not as if they are. You actually activate in yourself, by thanking Him, not just a deep faith but an overwhemlming joy for what He has done. It makes it real and therefore what is already yours can be received. It’s as if the door of your heart opens and the gift can enter. I wish I could explain the emotion that is linked to it. It’s an overwhelming sense of joy; you’re no longer under oppression or just hoping, or doubt; it’s real because He said it and He has done it and when you thank Him your agreeing with not just the promise but His very character.
I have fallen in love with God all over again as I realize what He has actually given us; not just authority over the power of the enemy. That’s just the beginning of realising all His promises are yes and amen; that’s just the starting point of living in victory. No wonder the Good News is sooooooo good! He is the one who is exceedingly, abundantly more than we can think or ask for. WOW! I just am enthralled by what He has really done, given us the weapons to not just bamboozle the enemy but bring our dearest dreams to life. My new motto for God is The Giver and Maker of Dreams (not He gives and takes away).
Watch what our friends at Bethel Church in Redding, California do for a bit of fun.
This is amazing! God is so great!!! My sister, Hannah Ford, (music ministry website- www.hannahford.com) was at Disneyland with some friends. She and her 2 friends, Jason Chin and Jason Tax, had been praying for revival to break out. They were standing in line for a ride, and one of them began talking with a teenager. She had some physical ailment and they offered to pray for her. She was healed on the spot. It blew the girl’s mind! Hannah prayed that God would move exponentially, and before long, they found themselves praying for another kid, an 8th grade boy, a star basketball player, and the son of a medical doctor. He had injured his shoulder and could not raise it at all, and had been out for the season. They prayed for him, and he was healed! He got so excited he called his father, and then he started texting his fellow 8th graders from his charter school, who were also at Disneyland. Kids starting coming from everywhere. They were actually leaving their places in line at various rides so they could come and find out what was going on. Wave after wave of kids from this charter school came and were prayed for and told the good news of salvation through Jesus. There were numerous healings and 30-40 put their faith in Jesus Christ. Kids were crying and laughing and saying they felt lighter. There was never one massive gathering, but groups of kids would come for awhile and then move on. But in all, my sister says that they prayed for and shared Jesus with 60-100 kids. They led them in prayer openly to receive Christ at Disneyland of all places.
There is a lot more video footage which will be posted later. My sister didn’t have time to get the rest out before leaving on a ministry trip to Mexico.
This all happened on Thursday, June 11, 2009.
Here is what Hannah had to say:
God is soooo good!! I have never been a part of anything so cool! I got some free tickets to Disneyland from a friend and was hanging out with 2 other friends (Jason Chin and Jason Tax.) They went to pray for a guy and he was healed. Then more just started happening from there. Jesus healed so many young people and so many gave their lives to Him! Yay! I’m going to Mexico so when I get back I’ll finish this up and show you the rest. Pray for revival in Mexico! Bless you all as you go after more of God! You’re loved.
