Can you say "instant housechurch meeting"

As we continue on in Colonial village it's amazing what God's doing. Saturday after a little rejection and one woman angrily declaring "I already know the Lord", and shutting her door on us. A woman directed us to knock on the last door on the left.

A young man answered and came outside, he had recently been baptized and we encouraged him to take over his neighborhood. A couple of guys we had preached to the week before lived right upstairs, he said he's been inviting them out to church.

The Father came outside and after telling him what we were about he invited us in. For about the next 30 minutes he poured out his heart to us and we got to encourage him about the kingdom.

His wife came home a few minutes later and pretty soon we were all sharing about the things of God. We had some words for her and prayed for her healing, she had real bad congestion in her chest. After prayer she tested it and said the rattling in her lungs wasn't there anymore, Thank you Jesus! At one point the Father said " I really like you guys".

Next thing you know we were all in a circle holding hands and worshiping the Lord, it was like a family of complete strangers getting a fresh dose of the joy of the Lord together, pretty cool.

We tried to leave but everyone kept getting stirred up with more revelation about the things of God and we all ended up sitting back down on the couch. Eventually we did leave after exchanging numbers and promising to return for another meeting.

On our way to the car we noticed a man in a wheelchair in the parking lot. As we approached him we asked if he needed prayer. He didn't hesitate and said "yes pray for me". He went on to explain in 07 an aorta burst in his heart and with some other complications it left him paralysed from the chest down.

We explained that it was God's will to heal him and he readily agreed, We prayed four or five times and had him test it each time. First he said the nausea he was experiencing was totally gone and then he began to say he felt a tingling in his spine all the way down to his tailbone. He was also able to twist his lower back some. Awesome Jesus!

Were going back today to have a house church meeting and see more of his healing come. He was very excited about us coming, he hasn't been able to get out to church anywhere. He told us tomorrow he's gonna walk to the door to let us in, he is full of faith and said he was going in to testify to his daughter about what's happening. Come on Jesus!

The pressing in of the gospel

For the past few outreaches we've been in a new neighborhood called Colonial Village, we have much favor there right now so we've been hitting it pretty hard. Our midweek outreaches have been met with much warfare, just trying to get there has been a real challenge. I think I know why, God's been showing up in a powerful way.

Tuesday we followed up on Tammy, she can still hear out of the ear God opened praise God! At one of our next stops a little boy answered the door we asked to speak to his parents and after waiting for about five minutes the mother said "come in".

The first word we got was that somebody was having trouble with their foot. This got her attention and she let us pray for her. As we were praying the husband came in. We introduced ourselves and they warmly received us. They were believers and had heavy accents I believe they were from Africa Ekong and Latasha are their names.

As we encouraged them with prophetic words and the gospel the husband kept thanking us for stopping by. One of us got the number 33, I thought it might be his age but he was 38. No one had the interpretation for the number until Ekong spoke up and said "oh I know what it means, 33 is my favorite number I use it for everything". Wow pretty good word "God's got your number" this really encouraged them, after some more prophetic words and encouragement we exchanged numbers, They want us to come back sometime soon.

After preaching to some more of their neighbors we went to a different Apt. complex a few buildings down, as we were knocking on a door it opened to reveal our other team Terry and Renee leading a woman to the lord, she also had pain in her hip, when they finished praying the pain was gone. Thank you Lord!

We spent the next 30 minutes preaching to a neighbor named Desi he was wide open and didn't want us to leave, eventually he had his whole family hanging out with us as we preached about the kingdom.

Mike and and Seth were around back preaching and praying with some young men who were also wide open.

I believe we need to take advantage of the favor and openness, who knows how long it will last.

"Oh my God, I can hear" Deaf ear opened after 39 yrs

We invaded a new neighborhood Sat. with the gospel of the kingdom. Judging from the amount of watchtower tracts we found on doorsteps the enemies been quite busy there.

I have to admit, finding these new neighborhoods is quite addicting, we never know what's gonna happen.

We got totally rejected at our first stop, but at the next home we got to minister to a women who warmly received us. We encouraged her and prayed for some family members pressing needs. She invited us to come back soon.

Our next stop was a man sitting out on his porch smoking a cigarette. As we shared about the kingdom of God he was obviously not very interested, he said he used to have faith but God didn't come through for him.

He became increasingly agitated and began to manifest as we tried to help him in his self-pity and bitterness. He began to say "I've had about enough of this, get out of here". My wife said something like "hey we didn't just come here we were sent here by God. I thought that was pretty good but I guess he didn't appreciate it to much. Well, we moved on to another building to not cast our pearls before swine.

At the next home a women answered the door, As we shared with her she began to tell us of some of her health problems. Panic attacks, chronic back pain, and an addiction to pain killers.

As we shared about some of the miracles we had seen she said "I'm also completely deaf in my left ear".

We shared how it was God's will to heal her because there's no pain in heaven. The first time we prayed nothing happened, we asked to pray again and as she was testing it she said "oh my God I can hear". We continued to pray and test it, she'd been deaf in that ear for 39 Yrs. Wow!

We were all amazed at what had just happened. We then pray for her back and rebuked fear and panic attacks. We asked her to do something she couldn't do before. She bent over and touched her toes and said all the pain was gone.

With tears in her eyes she thanked us for coming by and we all thanked Jesus for what he was doing. You could feel a fresh tangible joy all over us. She wants us to come back and have a house church meeting she's a christian and has been faithfully witnessing to her family.

Our next stop we came across a couple of young guys in their twenties. We preached to them for about twenty minutes it was definatley a divine appointment as we planted some seed from heaven. We left excited and thankful for what God had done and can't wait to go back again.

ARE WE A THREAT TO THE SYSTEM?

We recently cracked open two new neighborhoods literally right in our own backyard. One of them "Stonehenge" feels like it's going to crack wide open. There was a good mix of responses ranging from being warmly received to one woman declaring, "I'm wicken"and slamming the door in our face to another man in the neighborhood saying very coldly "I get mine on Sundays".

I think maybe the reason we don't see much persecution in this country is probably because we haven't been much of a threat to the system so far. Well guess what, things are changing" I believe the more we reject the temporary comfort of disobedience and embrace the comfort of His advancing kingdom the better equipped we'll be to face what's ahead for this world.

A passive compromised lifestyle will lead us right into the trap of the last days deception and falling away the bible warns of. Pretty scary times were living in, thank God His kingdom can't be shaken.

As we continued on our outreach we met a woman named Trina, she had pain in her shoulder and many other health problems. We encouraged her with the good news of the kingdom and joined hands to pray with her commanding pain to go and releasing the kingdom.

Her eyes welled up with tears as we felt the glory touch and deliver her. When we finished she testified of no pain in her shoulder thank you Jesus! You could tangibly feel depression go and joy come.

Afterward a man and woman named Glenda and Marcus came up and said "hey we heard that your praying for people can you pray with us". They had some pressing needs that we lifted up to the lord. We all got fired up sharing with one another Marcus lit up with encouragement as we preached and prophesied over them.

Terry gave them a word about God speaking to them through license plates. They were amazed because they had just seen a plate that said "overflow" and it had really got their attention ,pretty cool.

We sowed some more good seed before we left making some new friends, we'll definitely be back! It was interesting to see the range of peoples reaction in this neighborhood from total openness to rejection. God may we always by your grace be a threat to this worlds system, keep us, fill us, send us in Jesus name!!!
