Can I tell you a quick story? If any of you have heard me preach in the last year, I might have mentioned a guy called Jim. I first met Jim at the New Wine conference last year when Bill Johnson encouraged us to pray for each other. At the time Jim was wearing two hearing aids. Myself and another guy (sorry don't know his name) began to pray for Jim's healing ... just real simple short prayers. After a while, the other guy, standing next to Jim asked him if he could hear us talking (by this time Jim had taken his hearing aids of) to which he answered "yes". taking a couple of steps back he repeated the question ... the same answer ... another couple of steps back and the same question ... the same answer! It was awesome and really the first time that I had been part of a miracle!
Yesterday morning just before the conference was due to start, everyone fighting for seats (you know how it is at Christian conferences!) I remembered Jim from last year. As soon as I said "I wonder if Jim is here this year" ... there he was a couple of rows in front of me!
I managed to catch up with him at the end of the seminar ... no hearing aids! He told me that in the last year God has been doing a great deal in his life and really breaking his heart for the lost and to see healing. He has visited Spokane and is now involved with healing on the streets. It was so good to see him again. We hugged ... I cried.
God is Awesome!
