One particular day, a couple of weeks ago, we decided to head out onto the streets to pray for the sick during our lunch break. We were quite nervous about it, though.



During the first thirty minutes, we didn’t actually pray for anyone. Personally, all I managed to do was make excuses in my head. . . .

We finally saw a woman on crutches walking our way. We went over and asked if we could pray for her. She told us that she had epilepsy and had just had knee surgery after having a seizure and shattering her knee cap on a curb. The surgeons had placed steel pins in her knee. We laid hands on her knee and prayed for the knee to be healed. We also prayed for her to delivered from epilepsy. We asked her if she felt anything as we were praying. She told us that she felt pins and needles up and down her leg. We prayed again for a full healing. She then said that the pain had gone. She said, “It feels wonderful”. We asked her if she would like to test out her healing. With her permission, we helped her up on her feet so she could walk without the crutches. The look on her face said it all. She had certainly been touched by God! She kept flexing her knee and putting weight on it. She walked on it but was still a bit shakey. She looked as though she was in shock and sat down and lit up a cigarette to calm herself down. We prayed again for strength and stability to her leg and as we were doing so a random man came and asked if he could pray with us as well. Of course we said ok and so we all prayed together. We left it at that. We told the lady (her name is Michelle)  that we were from King’s Church down the road.

We walked away in the company of  our newly-found prayer buddy, Dave. We chatted about the miracles happening in Lakeland, Florida. We went on to pray for Michelle’s salvation and for her healing miracle to bring her and others to know Christ. What I found really amazing about the whole experience was the fact that even after half an hour of making excuses and not trusting God enough to step out and pray for people, God still chose to use us to heal Michelle. I was reminded of God’s father heart and how much he loves us and wants to teach us his ways. He is not a harsh, disappointed father. He is there to strengthen and encourage us all the way and is proud of every little step of faith we take.

To God be the glory!
