[revival-fire] Miracles In Medellin, Colombia Police Station - Dews - 9/22/08

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

MIRACLES IN MEDELLIN Incredible to stand before 2000+ hungry, passionate, spirit-filled, actual believers who have come expecting to see God move in their lives.  That was what we experienced recently on our last weekend in Medellin, Colombia.  And, God did not disappoint.   ** A woman who had not been able to feel anything in her face for the past 5 years, got all her feeling back. ** A 12 year old boy, born with a deformity in his foot which caused it to turn in and fold over such that he had problems walking and couldn't run at all, healed and running at full speed on the platform. ** A man on crutches in another church, injured kneecap and torn tendons, facing several more months of re-hab, couldn't put any weight on the leg.  I told him he would walk w/o the crutches before the 2 days we were to be there were up.  That night he walked and the next day came back w/o the crutches. **  So many healings it was impossible to count at times, and so many healings when we activated the people as they prayed for each other in the congregation. We saw an unusual amount of demonic activity this time.  This is what one team member reflected on:  "… there is a big difference between learning about deliverance and being there seeing the manifestations themselves.  I was standing behind this guy with my hands on his shoulders praying for him when Heath began praying for him also. She looked at me and mouthed the words, "He's going to go down."  "No problem. The chair is right behind him."  But, when he hit the chair, he immediately jumped out of it, fell to the floor, turned and began slithering like a serpent and thrashing about with his arms and legs.  Fortunately, Heath was there and started the deliverance process. One thing I noticed was that the spirit she was dealing with seemed to "understand" her English and partially responded and complied to her commands.  Carol and an interpreter eventually showed up and proceeded to complete the deliverance.  It was quite an experience and it was a privilege for me to watch you both at work. Initially, I was thinking, "Why didn't you tell us in training that something like this might happen."  Truthfully, you did warn us that manifestations might occur.  Upon further reflection, I'm not sure you could "prepare" someone for the real thing.  It is something one has to experience.  Then, the steps of deliverance take on much greater meaning!" GOD MOVES "OUTSIDE THE CHURCH" Wonderful miracles in the church, but more of the fun happened outside the church meetings.  When we were there in April, one church had started an outreach to children from a very poor area.  Almost none of them are able to go to school, so there is not much hope of things being different in their lives w/o the intervention of the church.  And the difference in these kids was incredible.  They now showed and glowed with the love of God.  Truly an honor to be with them, as we reached out to them, and they reached out to us.  Then to go to a ministry that ministers to 20+ kids ages 2-12, who are at high risk because their mothers are prostitutes.  A great ministry that is doing such an important work.  We spontaneously took up an offering, without knowing anything of their needs – it just seemed like a good thing to do.  Turns out, they were in need that very moment.  The head of the ministry went to a back room and broke down in tears of gratitude.  And God's power came as an 8 year old girl received her sight in her right eye when a couple of the team members prayed for her!! We then went from kids at high risk, to the people who were to protect them from such high risk – the main police station.  One of the people in the church we had been in back in April is an officer with the anti-terriorism division and she had arranged for us to come in and minister to anyone who would come.  Thirty five officers out of the 250 showed up.  We were told to keep it pretty low key, and we did – but God came anyway.  Many touched, healed emotionally from much stress and many physical healings.  She then told us that some of the officers didn't know the Lord, so we gave an altar call – and 15 people were added to the Kingdom!!   This is how one team member described it:  "The police station was the most powerful event of the trip in my opinion. We had no idea what to expect. It was such an incredible honor to be asked to come speak to and pray with these people. They work one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, police in what has been the most dangerous city in the world. Many of these people have bullseyes on their foreheads. It really fills you with a sense of who the heck am I to be here. We saw some incredible healings here. I prayed for one man who told me he had been in a firefight a few years before, fired his weapon too close to his ear, and it had been ringing since. As I was praying for his ear, he fell backwards into the chair and was completely healed." For the next three days we kept hearing the buzz.  Those officers who had not come began hearing the stories of how wonderful the ministry was from those "gringos" who came to the station.  Hopefully, we'll have an opportunity to go back one day, but we've opened the door for future ministry teams to go in. MINISTRY IN VACAVILLE This next week, we'll be returning to our church in Vacaville to conduct a Sozo School.  It's sold out, but we will be ministering at The Mission on Sunday the 28th, and will lead a Healing Service at 6 PM that night.  We'd love to see you if you're in the area.  Blessings.
