Healing Story #1

**Disclaimer**

I am writing about 10 people who God touched through my outreach of healing.  This was a journey to see if I could do what I saw Todd White and Pete Cabrera Jr. do through their healing videos.  These people I met are mostly strangers I met in public doing normal things like shopping, working-out, and going out to dinner.  I am posting these testimonies to give Glory to God.  I will answer questions about the story but will not debate theology.  I’m posting 1 story per day for 10 days.  After that I will start posting videos of the actual encounters I have on the streets, malls, stores, and restaurants.

My wife and I were out and about with the kids in the back of the car, when we realized we needed some more things from Costco.  We always buy toilet paper, paper plates, etc there for the good price breaks they offer.  I had a list of about 8 things to quickly grab while my wife and the kids waited in the parking lot.  I had entered into a new mindset about praying for the sick (injured, disabled, sick, etc) whenever I see them to see how the Kingdom of God could break in at any moment.  As I entered the store i saw a kid in a wheel chair and I immediately tensed up.  I watched him go by in the corner of my eye and I thought to myself, I am not ready for this yet.  I immediately felt a power sensation in my right hand and had the gift of faith that I knew the Holy Spirit wanted to heal.  The power on my hand did not dissipate or go away.  To describe the power, it felt like a surge of electricity hovering on my right hand, and my right hand alone.  At the same time, my spirit came into alignment with the Holy Spirit and put my mind frame in the proper perspective.  I continued on down the long aisle towards the produce section where I knew I had to get some grapes.  I saw a woman with a long leg brace on and I immediately made a U-Turn and started talking to her.  I noticed in myself that I was calm and even a little joyful.  Normally I would feel a weight in my stomach that would make me feel very anxious or worried.  But this time, I was surprised as I was talking out loud to her that I felt good and calm.  I asked her what happened to her leg and she said she really was a bus driver and not a full-time employee at Costco.  She continued that she was giving the kids a demonstration of how to use the emergency chute out the back of the bus.  She explained that it was like the inflatable slides they have on planes to let the people slide out.  As she jumped onto the inflatable slide she hit the slide and immediately tore her tendons in that leg.  She described that she did everything right, however her body did not respond as intended.  I told her I was a Christian pastor and that I wanted to pray healing over her leg.  She got skeptical and asked which church I was part of.  I explained that my wife and I are planting a church in Richland by the BMW dealership and it is called ASCEND Church and Apostolic Center.  She said it was ok for me to pray for her leg.  I thanked the Father for her and her life and then I commanded the pain to leave her leg in the name of Jesus.  That was all.  She said that before the prayer her pain was a 10 out of 10 level and that she used a scooter to get around, pushing on her good leg for the "engine".  I asked her what her pain was and she said it dropped to a level 5.  Cut in half immediately.  I asked to pray again to reduce it all the way down.  At this point she was getting confused as the pain was dropping rapidly.  I asked her what it was now after the second time.  She said about a 2.  I said, "Let's get this thing all the way down to 0!".  I commanded a third time and the pain completely left her leg.  She put her walker/scooter away and started walking normally on the once injured leg.  She was totally confused as to what just happened and wouldn't look at me anymore as she talked with me.  I said it was Jesus who healed her leg as Jesus lives inside me as I am a born-again Christian.  I told her Jesus loves her and that He is amazing!  She agreed, I blessed her and continued shopping.  As I was leaving I came back into her section and asked her how she was doing.  She said it was still good and the pain totally left her.  I told her I loved her in Jesus name and left the store.
