We cracked open another new neighborhood today, it used to be the happy hills housing project but they totally rebuilt it I'm not sure of the name now.
We were able to minister to a woman who had recently lost her 30 yr old daughter. Very sad but she appreciated the ministry.
Next we spotted a woman in the parking lot with a cane getting her mail. We asked her what had happened to her she explained she had jump off a second floor balcony to get away from some men robbing an apartment she was in. It happened over the summer and she was still recovering.
She invited us in to pray for her. She had broken her humerus bone (upper arm) during the attack and now after surgery she's still in pain. We asked her what the current pain level was on a scale of one to ten. She said it was a four, the doctors want to do more surgery to try to fix it.
We began to share about Gods love and His kingdom being on the earth and how there's no pain in heaven. After we laid hands on her and prayed we asked her to check the pain level. She said the pain was all gone thank you Jesus!!!
She's going back to the doctors Jan.9th to get it checked, can't wait to here the good report.
Our next stop was the apartment right next door. A woman named Tami opened the door and we shared the kingdom was at hand. She was very open for ministry and asked us in. She was suffering from depression, anxiety and panic attacks.
We ministered to her with some scripture and commanded the demonic spirits to go. After prayer she did start to smile as we continued to encourage her. You could see the light of the truth beginning to shine on her in a fresh way.
Lastly on the way out we hit one last home. Renee got a word of knowledge about the man who came to the door She got his first named David. Pretty cool and she prophesyed to him about a gift of faith he had. He shared with us about being backslidden but he started getting stirred up in a good way the more we preached to him. We prayed for his bad tooth before we left not sure if it got healed he had it numbed up pretty good. We'll be back to follow up.
Divine appointment
Yesterday we went to Waughtown to hit some new neighborhoods. The first house was a family Renee had ministered to a few months ago. Their adult son is battling M.S.and actually lives close to us. Their father was outside, he is a believer so we were able to encourage him and he actually encouraged us. We gave him our number and hopefully they'll be in touch so we can pray for his son.
The next house was a total divine appointment. A man named Tony answered the door. He's been out of prison for a year and although he met the Lord in prison he's been wrestling with a lot of temptation and confusion.
He was into the gang seen pretty heavily but trying to change. He's got custody of his three young children and is in need of employment. We were able preach to him and really encourage him. He was remarking how he was just saying to his girlfriend "I can't keep going down this same road, somethings got to change," and then we show up on his doorstep preaching the Gospel. How awesome is that???
We were able to pray with him and he rededicated his life to the Lord. Were going back tomorrow to encourage him some more.
Here's another pretty cool detail. After we left his house we knocked on a door the next street over and it was a pastor who had a house church that meets there a few times a week with church meetings, prayer and they go out on the streets as well.
They have a ministry that reaches out to drug addicts and gang members. He gave us a flier and hopefully Tony can get plugged in there. Thank you Jesus!!!

Jesus healed a shoulder and didn't even tell us!!!!
We went down to a local apartment complex today for outreach and we had a blast. First of all before we left the house I got a very intense headache. I figured it was either the enemy attacking or God showing me someone out there needs prayer.
Well the first door we knocked on was a guy named Matt. We said "we're out preaching the gospel today" and asked if he needed prayer. Wouldn't you know it he had a pretty bad headache. He also had recently been laid off. We prayed for a new job and for his headache to go. He responded saying "I feel heat coming off my head and the headaches gone." He was open to the gospel and we ministered to him for a while. He told us his neighbor could really use some prayer.
We went across the hall and met Scotty. Scotty was wrestling with depression and paranoia and not really having a good day. We were able to pray for him and cast out the spirits that were tormenting him.
He called me later that night to ask if I could bring him some sugar for his coffee, he was out and we live right down the street so I brought him some.
As we talked on the phone he began to thank us for praying for him and said the pain in his shoulder was gone and that he was feeling much better.
We didn't even know anything was wrong with his shoulder. He went on to explain that I had put my hand on his shoulder while we we're praying and he got healed.
Thank you Jesus!!
I'm convinced GOD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING we just need to be available and obedient and He'll do the rest.

Salvation--Healing
We went down to Parkway Plaza Tuesday to preach the gospel of the kingdom. Earlier that day I read the account in Acts where they prayed,
"grant to your servants that with all boldness they may speak your word and by the stretching forth of your hand to heal signs and wonders may be down in the name of your holy servant Jesus".
Well we prayed that same prayer and that's just what happened!!!
We had the opportunity to preach to some young men and challenge them to respond to the Gospel. One guy named Rayshawn seemed to be very apathetic but after a while we could see him start to track with our message. We basically gave him the simple gospel challenge mixed with some prophetic words about his giftings. He slowly began to respond and understand the message of Jesus paying the price for our sins. It's sad to see how the enemy has blinded the minds of the unbelievers. Many times we spend the first few minutes trying to wake people up to reality. Either by a word of knowledge,prophetic words or just the clear gospel message.
After about 10 minutes of preaching to this guy I began to press in and challenge him about the condition of his soul. I don't usually press in for salvation with people I've just met but you could sense conviction and urgency coming upon this guy. We led him in a prayer to receive Jesus and to get filled with the Holy Spirit We felt something happen and he was visibly touched. We got his # and believe God supernaturally started something in him.
Next we met a woman in a wheelchair named Pat. Shes had Lupus for 20 yrs and said it was starting to affect her brain. Her fingers were balled up and other parts of body paralysed. She was with two other family members and they were very open for prayer. We prayed that God's will would be done on earth as it is in heaven and just broke off all the attack of the enemy. After prayer we asked her to see if there was any change, she could open her hands halfway. She said she couldn't do that before. Thank you Jesus!!!!!
We gave her our number and said call us if we could come minister some more.. She said she was a new believer and had been wanting to get out to a bible study but it's been hard to get out. We said we would come to her, she was very excited and said we would be definitely hearing from her, awesome!!!!!!!!!

Holiday love Bombing
Have you ever felt like things weren't going like you planned? Well guess what, they probably never will. Don't get discouraged though, this is a great opportunity to use one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal. I call it the "holiday season love bomb." When in doubt advance the Kingdom, it's very effective in bringing clarity and joy to your mind.
This week we've been following up on some of our people in Piedmont park. Saturday we visited Jackie, an older woman who lives alone. God's healed her a number of times this year from high blood pressure and respiratory problems. She wasn't having a very good day we felt a heavy depression on her and in her apartment. We prayed and blessed her and her house.
Well, we went back on Tuesday with some Christmas gifts (pajamas and slippers). She looked totally different the depression was gone (praise God!!)and she was so excited to receive the gifts. She commented she hadn't really opened a Christmas gift since she was 18. What fun to bless people, it really is better to give than to receive.
Our next stop was Martha's house. God opened Martha's blind eye over the summer and she can still see out of it. She even read the Christmas card to prove it. We prayed again and blessed her as she was having some other problems with the eyes, they've been watering excessively, they seemed to start drying up after we prayed, so we'll be back to see how her continued healing is going.
Our next stop was Ms. Roland. She's an older women Who God's healed this summer from the effects of a stroke. She's been battling some chronic infection for the past few months but we're believing God for a complete healing. We haven't been to see her for a while because of travel but she really missed us and we missed her. It was good to see her again and stir up her faith. It's amazing how the Lord shows up when we encourage one another.
