After a bit we saw a lady being helped up the hill using a walker. She was not elderly, but had an injured foot. After she got settled I decided that I would go speak with her and share my testimony. She and her husband were very receptive and she shared how they had planned to go to another meeting earlier in the month but were turned away by the crowd being too large so they were determined to make it to this one. The day before the meeting her foot started swelling at work to the point that you couldn’t see her ankle and she had to go to the doctor. They wrapped it telling her to stay off of it but as I said they were determined. Later in the day when they decided that the chairs could move down to the stage area Dave and I grabbed our stuff and headed down, almost immediately I remembered the lady with the walker and was totally ticked at myself for not helping grab their stuff and getting them down as well. I looked around and they were not seated too far behind us so I went to confess and apologize. She assured me that it was not a problem since she had walked down, no walker, no pain. Woo-hoo, Abba is so faithful and He does not forget to do the good stuff. The sun was hot but thankfully there were clouds that covered up the sun for periods and soon it would be behind the building. Pastor Joyner shared the special ‘8’s’ of the day. It was 8/8/08, the numerical number for Yeshua is 888, it was 88 degrees outside, the wind was blowing at 8 miles an hour, and maybe more that I can’t remember. I now some of you say coincidence, maybe but cool ones that bring Yeshua to mind in any case. There were numerous healings that were of the type to be verified people seeing that couldn’t, a young boys leg grew about an inch and a half, deaf people reported hearing and a man who had part of the back of his brain removed and his spine fused was moving his neck and back in ways that fused spines don’t allow. I know it sounds perhaps caviler to mention such wonders in such a short sentence but most people don’t really receive an impact from descriptions, being there was what made it visibly real, otherwise you just have to take my word for it. At one point they had the pastors raise our hands and had the people around us pray for us. Dave shook under the power to the longest time and when one lady who was among the group praying for me said, ‘she has joy now give her peace.’ I would have hit the dirt except she wrapped me up in her arms and held on. It was a powerful word since Ruach had told me, ‘you will go down in joy and come back with peace.’ Beyond the personal touches and seeing the healings the testimonies of the young people were the most striking in my heart and mind. Some young guys had gone down to Lakeland and on the way back determined that their church could have what was happening there too. Morningstar has been in over 16 weeks of revival since the return of these teenagers with notable miracles and I do mean notable. We were and are greatly encouraged that the body of Christ is lifting Him high, proclaiming His works accomplished on the cross and at the resurrection are powerfully effective today and He is alive and well in the body of believers.
