God Is Saying To Many, "Give Me A Chance To Touch Others Through You."

 I was in Lowe's this morning walking around and I overheard a lady telling someone how sick she was with sinus infection. As I kept walking the Lord spoke to me to go and pray for her. I said, "Lord, I'm not used to praying for people in public." The Lord said, "I am. Most of my ministry of healing and deliverance was in public, not in the temple. Another thing, it's not about you but about me. I just want you to be a channel to give me a chance to touch her. If she doesn't get healed it won't be your fault. And if she does get healed, it won't be because of you either. I just want you to give me a chance to heal her."

I stepped out and asked her if I could pray for her. She said, "Yes, I have had this sinus infection for many years and have had two surgeries and it still comes back often." I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to come upon her and I took authority over this infirmity to leave her. I felt the Lord's presence. She appeared to not feel anything, so I told her, "Sometimes God heals immediately and other times gradually." As I walked away, I felt a healing witness go through my own body. Perhaps being a channel for Him opens ourselves up to be touched as well as others.

Overlooked Treasure

 Have we overlooked the treasure in older people in rest homes? I visited my mother in an assistant living center a few days ago. I met an eighty some year old sister who was a missionary to the Indians. She showed us photos of her life story. A newspaper article read about her mother who was blind for sixteen years and suddenly could see. This sister shared how one day she hugged her mother and said, “Lord, I want momma to see.” Suddenly her mother got her sight back.

She went on to tell other stories how she had the gift of healing for many people. I said to her. “Would you pray for me? I have a bone spur that still gives me pain.” Before she prayed, she said, “You will feel heat in my right hand as I touch your neck. And you will be fine in the morning.” That night I slept without pain and it has never come back. While I was among these older people the Lord said to me. “I am giving you the wisdom of the ancient. Thanks for visiting Me.”
