of miracles and such...

3rd post of the day. oops.

just went for the 7pm service at kensington temple... where a guest pastor - gypsy william lee - a healing evangelist was preaching & doing miracles. they've been holding the revival and healing services every night for over a month now... and i must say that the miracles & the works of God in this time have simply been amazing... better still. people are coming in droves to get a miracle.. and get saved in the process. there's something just so awesome about seeing God at work... working through little nobodys and making them His-bodys... using a gypsy with no proper education to reach out to so many...

two things struck me today - one, where he said that he was an evangelist... and that that was it. that everything was about the gospel of Christ. that he never tires of hearing the gospel, preaching the gospel, preaching salvation. woah. what a revelation he has of 'all Jesus' and 'none of me'. cos i admit, sitting under pastor prince's ministry for so long... and hearing about Jesus and Jesus and Jesus and how each thing in the bible points to Him... sometimes i can actually go to church and completely miss the point - thinking: 'oh it's this sermon again... about ____' ... i've only recently begun to realise just how much i need to hear it over and over and over to really remind myself, all of Him, none of me.

the other was at the end of the service when he was praying for a lady - they call a few people on stage to publicly pray for them, even as the leaders and other pastors pray for people at the front of the stage... this lady had depression... and as he was praying for her he said 'God wants to heal your mind today, will you let Him?'... and the mic picked up what she said. 'yes... but i don't think i'm worth it' - that really struck me... as i identified with that searing pain... as i 'heard' Daddy's answer: of course you are worth it. you are worth it, and I'm going to make you realise that. I'm gonna love you into wholeness, love you like never before, love you till you realise just how much you're worth to Me. I will not let you go.


of course you are worth it.

this was ringing in my spirit... but i just couldn't find it earlier on - the parting words of Jesus before he left:

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
~Mark 16:17-18

it feels like my ministry is beginning... i'm super excited... lay hands... Jesus said. all we have to do is lay hands - and they will recover. not by our power or our prayer or our faith... but because of His goodness. lay hands... and love the broken into wholeness.
