"This is Melissa... I heard from my new parents-in-law that a cousin named John in Melbourne, that is around their age, only had a short time to live. He had progressive cancer in both lungs and the doctor told him they would only get worse. And he wasn't a Christian. On the 17th of April, you asked for anyone that had a life-threatening illness to come forward. My husband, Brett, and I came forward on John's behalf and you prayed for him. A few days later we got a call again, this time stating that John had gotten his lungs checked and one of his lungs was completely healed and the other was recovering. Praise God! We'll see him in Melbourne in August, and will tell him what happened then. Pray that he comes to Christ! :)
Thanks for being a blessing! - Melissa"

Lady healed of Carpal Tunnel During ministry time a lady came forward for prayer with severe pain in her right forearm. She was experiencing real difficulty moving her fingers let alone being able to grab and hold things. We prayed in Jesus' wonderful name, and just like that, SHE WAS TOTALLY HEALED! I asked her grab my arm and started to move and shake it. I asked her if she had ANY pain. “No!” was her excited and relieved response. God is so good!

Man 90, Cataracts Healed This great man bounced forward for prayer with a heart full of faith. Both eyes had cataracts on them. We prayed quickly, and boom, he went off like a firecracker! He was so excited – “The bad one is healed, the bad one is healed!” he cried. “You’ve got to pray for the other one now.” So again we prayed in the Name above all names, and the other one started to clear up slowly. By the end of the meeting it was almost completely gone. Why didn’t he see as quickly with the second one? I don’t know. I just know that God is amazing. This precious man was going around telling people all about it - so much fun!

Fibromyalgia We prayed for a lady whom doctors had diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Before praying we asked her how she felt. She said that she was in pain, all through her body! She looked like a fighter but she seemed quite weak too. So we prayed. I asked her how she felt. She said that she could feel what felt like fire all over her body - in her joints, in her muscles and in her bones. I asked how the pain was. She said it had gone from almost unbearable to mild but she was getting overwhelmed by the Spirit of God and was finding it difficult to stand. As the night went on she just remained that way. It was so lovely to see the Lord minister to her. Later the next week she emailed me to let me know how she was doing. The pain was very low and every day since we prayed the pain had become less and less. So I replied and said that I’d keep praying for her. Well, when she received that email she felt the fire come back and she went all weak again at work! She was shaking and feeling overwhelmed by the Spirit of God. God is so accessible. We only have to believe. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!

Hips healed Praying on a prayer line after preaching, I felt to ask a lady how to pray. She said to pray for her hips. So I prayed. As I got one of the other guys to lay hands on her and pray she was touched by the Lord right there - no mess, no fuss, no shaking this time, just nice and easy. I asked her to squat down and get the hips moving. “I cant’ believe this, I just can’t believe this – praise God this is awesome!” We do have to watch the word of our testimony but I love it when God’s power is even greater than the words of our testimony!

Back healed Just this last weekend at Highway Church on the Gold Coast we had a very short prayer line in the 8am service as we had to get ready for the 10am service. So we layed hands in faith on the people and believed! One lady rushed to me after the service and said, “I felt the Lord run through my body like hot oil as soon as you touched me.” Friends, there is such a power in doing what God says. All we have is His Word and our ability to obey it! She said her back was in serious pain before we prayed and then after the Lord touched her all her pain was GONE! Praise GOD!!!!!

Shoulder instantly healed There was a young lady who responded and gave her life to Christ in the meeting and then came forward for prayer with a healing need in her shoulder. This day she met Jesus as her Saviour AND her Healer! After praying for her she moved the shoulder freely and said that the pain was almost all gone. Her face was so beautiful, full of light and hope. You could just see Christ beaming out of her heart once her life was changed!
Ankles instantly healed
I had a word of knowledge about ankles. So a number of ladies responded. We gathered the people around them and I didn’t even pray. I just asked the people to pray. They passed the mic around and, one by one, they were all touched in many different ways. Some were healed instantly, someone's ankle came good, some felt heat, some felt it coming slowly. We can never cookie cut the work of God or fully understand before-time what God is going to do, but we do know that God is able - more than able - to fulfil His promises.

I have recently arrived home after a three week trip into Asia. Thanks to those who prayed. I could feel the wave of prayer behind me as I went.

The first two weeks of the trip were in a very needy area of Asia. The locals have such a hunger for the Lord. I was so blessed to see the faith and passion in the hearts of the saints. The ministry was two weekends of combined churches celebration/outreach meetings. God did wonderful things. The response to the Gospel was awesome and the Lord was present to heal many ailments.

Between the two weekends was a jam-packed schedule where we conducted a leaders and youth seminar. Thousands were in attendance and we saw the Lord refresh the gift of prophecy powerfully through this time. One day we prophesied over about 500 people individually. This went from 9:30am till nearly 3pm - in one stretch! It was so powerful. So many tears and so much encouragement.

The gift of healing was very much in effect there in the faith charged atmosphere. Here is one outstanding set of healing miracles...
During one session the Lord led me to pray for healing for people through the 'word of knowledge'. So I was calling out sicknesses as the Lord led and they were all getting healed - backs, knees, eye problems etc.

Then the Lord showed me about the left elbow. No-one in the large crowd had a problem with the left elbow. So I asked the Lord what was going on. I felt that it was a word for a family member of one of the attendees. One young lady stood up and we prayed in faith of the power of this 'word' from the Lord! The next night she came to the meeting with her mother, for whom we had prayed the previous night about her left elbow. Right at the same time as we were praying the on the previous night, she felt the Lord's anointing come upon her elbow and she was 100% healed from a sore and stiff elbow. That night she asked for prayer for depression and was touched by the power of God. We also prayed for another of her daughters who was having similar problems with depression along with a chronically sore back. They came back the next night and were totally healed in Jesus Name. Glory to God. He is the Great Physician. Nothing is beyond His expertise!

Following this I went for a short ministry stop in Singapore on the way home and God moved powerfully there. The gift of prophecy flowed so wonderfully to set the captive free. Also we saw some wonderful healing miracles there. To God be all the glory, the praise and the honour!

Brisbane City One outstanding healing was when I was prophesying over a married couple and speaking to the wife, the husband had a chest infection which just disappeared while he and i were praying for his wife. Another lady was touched with a respiratory condition that night and a man healed in his back.

Southside Brisbane After preaching we went into a time of praying for the young people and the prophetic opened up really nicely, then right in the middle of it all the Lord gave me a word of knowledge about back problems, four people came out, three were healed straight away. One young lay testified how she had sharp stabbing pains in her back, we prayed it was all cleared up in Jesus name. Another young man was healed from knee problems as the Holy Ghost hit him like a tonne of bricks. He stood up healed in Jesus name, God is so good.

Northside Brisbane Last time I ministered here I prayed for a lady who had pain in her eyes, she fell out under the Holy Ghost and went off after the meeting. She woke up the ext day to no pain and a clear head. Only now did the testimony of this healing come! God can do anything!

Blind Eye Healed
A lady came out for prayer in Georgetown, Texas. Her testimony was that all she could see out of her left eye was haze, either bright or dark, depending on the room she was in. We prayed for her in the precious name of Jesus and she began to see great detail. We prayed one more time and she could see clearly. It was absolutely amazing!

I've seen many different reactions as people are healed by the Lord. Her reaction I've never seen before. When the vision started to come good she was almost in denial of it. Words like, "I can't believe this¦ this isn't happening, I CAN'T see out of this eye" came spilling from her lips. But there it was - she could see!. She covered her good eye and she had clear vision out of the 'bad' eye! At this point she went into some kind of shock and began to cry and then scream at the realisation that this blindness was gone. I thought it was like a mechanical overload - too much emotion for her to process at one moment - so she screamed out and shook and fell down crying. It was so glorious to see someone not just healed but so set free from the personal struggle that went with the burden of the physical ailment.

Deaf Ear Healed
In the same meeting as above in Georgetown we saw a lady healed whose ear had grown more and more deaf. She could not hear phones ring anymore but came forward believing to receive a miracle from the Healer even though she was advanced in years!

We prayed to the Lord and He healed her, simple and easy! One of the folk took out the mobile phone and set it to ring like the old school house phones and when the call came through "ding-a-ling-a-ling" she could hear it! God is so good!

Ringing Ear Healed
Again, in the same meeting, there was a lady who had extremely bad ringing in her ear. When we prayed for her she testified of feeling heat all over her head and the ringing stopped right then. She sent back an email a couple of weeks later that the ear was good and she had no trouble from the ear since the moment we prayed. Glory to the Lord!

Shoulder Healed
Just this last week we saw another cool miracle. I call these "Collateral Miracles". We were praying for this guy on the prayer line and the Lord was doing some awesome inner healing work in his heart. There were some serious tears flowing and burdens being lifted from his heart as we prayed. This alone was wonderful. I just love seeing people encounter God and how in a moment He can drop such amazing love and power into their world. So once his eyes and nose were cleaned off he looked like a new man, like 10 tonnes had been lifted off his shoulders. We moved on and kept praying more with other people. Then when the meeting was over he came up to me and said that there was a real miracle take place in his shoulder when he was having his encounter. His shoulder had been troubling him for quite some time and had given him a lot of pain. After the dust settled he realised that God had totally cleaned him out from that infirmity.

Men's Retreat Healings
I did a men's retreat in Austin, Texas and saw the Lord really move in the lives of the men. The ministry time at the end of the first night went so late as the Lord began to move, I started to step back a lot, as I like to do, and let the Lord move through others. This is a great way of edifying the saints. There were a couple of great healings there. A man with tennis elbow was completely healed. All pain left his arm and he has been fine since that night to this (I saw him yesterday and he said that it was still strong and normally healthy). Another man I prayed for was healed of pain and weakness in a wrist that had been operated on years ago. I saw him about a week later and he said it was still doing great!

Osteoarthritis Healed
In San Antonio there was a special Sunday night which I was invited to minister at where four churches came together to get into the presence of the Lord and see what he would do. It was so exciting. That night there was a lot of prophecy and inner healing but there was an awesome healing. A young man came for prayer with pain all through his back and legs. We prayed for him and the pain left his back, so we prayed again and His legs stopped hurting. He stood there silently weeping. He felt the fire of God wash over him and I could feel him burning up as we prayed. There was some serious heat coming of his body. So I asked him how he was and he just cried and said, "I feel fine." And he kept crying. I began crying - I can be such a sook! But when God moves who cares anyway?

Easter At Aboriginal Conference
Easter time I traveled up to Far North Queensland to minister with Pastor Gary Swenson of the Qld State A.O.G. We ministered at a conference up there for Aboriginal Aussies, hosted by Pastor Eddie and Pastor Rita Turpin (photo above) of the Bethel (Pinnacle Pocket) AOG church, it was an awesome time in God. My heart was so blessed by being around the gentle and spiritual people, I was so blessed I even got presented with an authentic digeridoo. The Gospel has obviously been in Australia and among the Aboriginal Aussies for more than two hundred years but I have never been amongst it with them as they press into the Lord. We had great meetings and saw numbers come to the Lord and some really powerful healings too.

One Lady had really stiff knees with arthritis. We prayed for her in Jesus’ name and nothing… Then again, nothing… Then the Holy Spirit began to move. Faith came in among those of us praying and then like a warm oil the anointing of the Holy Spirit touched this dear lady’s leg. Just like that her knee was loose. She was walking on it and was completely well.
Another great healing was for Pastor Rita. She had moved a chest of drawers and had pain all up and down her back and right hand side. As soon as we prayed for her, just like that she said it felt totally normal again. She was jumping up and down and shaking her limbs without any pain. She was healed! Glory to God! God’s power is so simple!

California Trip
I had been feeling God’s leading to California for ministry. The opportunity arose mid last month. There I ministered in the city of Fresno as the Lord opened the door. We had a powerful time of ministry. The Lord healed the first person we laid hands on. She had bad pain in her feet and within a moment all pain was gone. Another lady had problems through her back, with ruptured discs among other things. When we prayed for her it was like she got electrocuted. And just like that, all pain was gone and she was ecstatic. Pastor Kevin received a word of prophecy from me and then had it confirmed moments later by a visitor to the church that day.

Another exciting thing that happens a lot in the ministry times is powerful inner healing. We had a man come forward onto the altar for prayer and he had a major issue with a family member. The Lord nailed that through the word of knowledge and this young man broke down in my arms sobbing and weeping. Of all the healings and other great friendships that were made and Holy Spirit encounters in California, that young man’s breakthrough warmed my heart and still makes me teary!

Lady Healed of Back Problems and Lump
One lady was present in the prayer line and needing a real touch from the Lord. She had been in a serious car accident decades earlier and has been in constant pain for all of these years. Now she is studying and found it difficult to concentrate whilst sitting because of pain in her back. As well as pain she had also had a very large lump appear on her back. As we prayed in the name of the Saviour she testified that all pain left her body. Our God is just so loving. She was totally pain free for the first time in decades! Plus when she reached around to assess the lump on her back, she found that it was gone - totally GONE! She was so blessed. Her husband too was praising the Lord as they realised that the Lord had just set her free. Truly our God loves to touch His people!

Lady Healed of Numb Hands
A lady presented herself in the prayer line and she had a medical condition which saw her hands now numb. She said she would hold things and not feel the items in her hands. So we laid hands on her and commanded the infirmity off her body in Jesus' name and just like that the feeling was back in her hands. This is surely the day of salvation! It was so lovely. Her heart was so touched by the Lord. Her gaze was so warm and her heart so full of joy. I love this about seeing God move in power. He is so concerned for the one lost sheep. He is the kind of shepherd who leaves the 99 and goes looking for the one lost one because He loves each one so much that He goes after the one.

Man Healed of Lung Condition Before heading off to America we had lunch with some Pastor friends. They had been missionaries for most of their working lives and are now retired. In recent years he had come down with a chest condition. This condition caused him to have to drain fluid regularly from his chest. We then prayed and left for America. Just last week I saw them for the first time since praying. His chest is totally clear. Glory to God!!!!

Man's Back Healed
A man had bad pain and tension all across his back. As we prayed the peace of God washed over him, in a tangible way, totally clearing his back from all pain and releasing all the tension.

Man's Shoulder Healed
We prayed for a man who had not long come to the Lord. When he responded for prayer he said that he had a long-standing condition in his shoulder which was causing him trouble with work. As we prayed he testified that all pain left his shoulder. I just love how this guy's life has been changed and now he has experienced first-hand the power of God to heal.

Where to start? There has been a flood of great work that the Lord has done in the short time we’ve been here on the ground here in the US. For the past two weeks I’ve been in Austin Texas. I’ve done more meetings than I can remember. It has been awesome. I was even on a local TV station the other day, what a blast!

The first meeting I was asked to minister at was a healing rooms meeting. I didn’t really know much about the format of the day. I know now that there were three rooms. The room I was in was the worship room. There was also a prophecy room and a healing room. I didn’t know exactly what to do so I just did what I always do and started praying for people. We saw two ladies with sciatic nerve complaints healed. A man’s knee was healed. Another man who had respiratory problems was healed. It was awesome. Little did I know they were getting healed in the worship room before going into the healing room. Funny!

Then on the next three days we saw some amazing miracles. One outstanding moment was the Lord gave me a word of knowledge about problems in the left shoulder. Four people responded. All four were healed. Glory to God!

You may remember a story from one of my previous monthly Ministry Reports (these are all available on my website) from when I was in South Korea and a man was healed from a serious digestive problem which caused him severe pain. As I prayed for him I could feel his intestines moving around inside his belly. He fell under the power of God, soon to arise and testify of having had a vision of the Lord. He said Jesus put His hand into his belly and cleaned out the sickness. He too could feel his intestines moving. The other night I shared this testimony with a lady who came forward for intestinal problems. She couldn’t hold down food and suffered from terrible pain. I then asked one of the ladies healed from shoulder problems to lay hands on this lady’s belly. After about 10 seconds the lady who had the shoulder healing started to say, “It’s happening again, it’s happening again!” She could feel the intestines moving around in this lady’s stomach. This lady then gave testimony to how all pain had left her belly. She could move freely. Glory to God! Three days later I bumped into her and she said that she had been pain free for those past three days and she had kept all of her food down. Praise the Lord!

Last weekend I preached at an Austin Church called Glory House. I called a word of knowledge about people with middle back problems. Again four people responded. Three received healing fairly quickly. The fourth was a lady who was in chronic pain with two discs in her back which were seriously out of whack. When she would move she would be in constant pain. We prayed once again, nothing happened. But God is love, so we gathered around her to just love on her and believe for her and she began to feel the pain leave. We prayed again and she said, “That’s done it”. And as simple as that – she received her healing. She bent frontward and backward, side to side. She was healed in Jesus’ name!

Earlier this week on Tuesday night the Lord healed a man’s ear and knees. Last week on Tuesday I had a word of knowledge about left arms and the Lord healed two ladies. The first was an African American lady. She was healed in her left forearm where she complained of carpal tunnel trouble. After we prayed she said, “Hey, that is better.” It was better. The other lady healed there was healed from muscular pain in her left arm. Then these ladies began to pray with me as the Lord healed a man in his neck and back. Then another lady was healed in her shoulder.

God is on the move. There are more and more of these testimonies, like the lady healed of depression, the third lady healed with sciatic nerve problems, the young lady healed in her lower back, her aunty who was healed in her ear, her sister healed in her knees but I think you get the picture for this month!

First Stop - Mozambique Africa.
I was invited by Australian missionaries Greg and Kim Hart (see "hartsforafrica.blogspot.com") to preach at a pastors' conference / outreach. Seeing the work that the Harts do in Mozambique I was in awe of these energetic servants of the Lord. They have joyfully laid it all down for the needy communities that they tirelessly serve.

I wasn’t expecting things to work out as they did for the meetings. I wanted to preach and demonstrate the Kingdom but the Lord used me to speak on the importance of looking first to Christ, not to men or women. This burden weighed heavily on my heart. Through the first meetings a few were touched and healed and then on the last night Greg took me to different community in a, shall we say, resistant neighbourhood. Here the power of God broke loose. It was awesome!

That night we saw the lost saved and the sick healed in Jesus' name. At least half a dozen blind eyes opened up. Even more deaf ears were healed. Limb, muscle and bone complaints were all healed by the King. One lady came forth with cataracts over her eyes, one eye was looking forward, one was looking out of the bottom right corner of the eye. We laid hands on her in the Saviour's name and both her eyes cleared up and both were looking straight. It was just amazing!

That night one man we led to the Lord was sick and deathly grim. He could hardly walk – it was AIDS in its last stage with TB fully set in. His countenance was so empty and hollow I cried and held on to him as we prayed. Greg Facebooked me and told me he died before I arrived home. He wasn’t healed but he is now in the everlasting arms of the Saviour. Even if he was the only one touched the whole trip was worth it just for him!

Second Stop - Texas USA.
Here I did 7 meetings in 8 days, yeeehhaaa! It was awesome. The first meeting with Bishop John Tolbert was very powerful with many coming to the Lord who had come from hard backgrounds.

The next night was just one of those nights where the Holy Ghost visits and you just get out of the way. It was hosted by Ps Glenn Hubbard of River in the Hills, Austin and Barb Bucklin, a mighty Austin prayer warrior. This night after I preached the Word we saw the Lord heal two ladies in their ears, another lady who could hardly walk on her right leg was healed in her ankle, hip and knee, a man with MS came off his walking apparatus, a man with shoulder troubles was raising both arms above his head without pain for the first time in four years, another man with a wrecked shoulder was instantly healed and the testimonies went on and on and on…

From here I went to Georgetown, Huntsville, Houston and then back to Austin for the next Sunday morning. At Georgetown the Lord moved so powerfully in healing and prophecy this night. Huntsville was a blast with Pastor Bubba Miller's relatives getting touched in their backs. Another cool story that I had forgotten came from last trip. When I preached at this church, Branded for Christ Cowboy Church, Pastor Bubba's son was completely healed of a degenerative hearing disease called Brown's Syndrome. The Doctor at the hospital couldn't figure out why young Bradley's ear was hearing. The six year old said that the man who came to his church put his hands on his ears and prayed to Jesus, now he can hear fine. The Doctor remarked that it must be a miracle because this doesn't happen! Glory to God!!! Houston was a big night in the glory of God with Ray and Sue Yackell at Flowing Rivers Ministries and then Sunday morning was a great day in prophecy with Pastors Don and Pat Dickinson in Austin.

Friends, God is moving in this hour in a very simple way. Just keep His love simple and we'll see great things - this is only the tip of the iceberg!!!!
