Hi guys,
I
wanted to share this story with you because so many of you pray for
miracles in my ministry. My friend Jeanenne put it so beautifully. When
we question whether God is doing miracles today, it's stories like these
that really minister to my heart.

God
has been showing up in my life in dramatic ways the last few months. I
love how He puts people in my life that together we encourage each other
to grow in the Lord in mighty ways.
My dear friend, Kerri
McGehee, is a Christian comedian who travels the country. We have
encouraged each other to grow in the Lord and to walk in our spiritual
gifts. We both have a healing anointing and have seen God show up in
powerful ways, especially when we pray together.
A few days ago I
traveled to a women's conference to pray for people along with her. We
were at a Methodist church and she felt in her spirit that they would
not receive her usual ministry message. I prayed that the Lord would
anoint her with wisdom and revelation so she may speak the words that
God wanted her to share, which would touch their hearts in a powerful
way. We both had visions. I had a vision of the Lord, and she saw
angels.
The Lord gave her scriptures about healing the blind as
she was sharing. That was the first time He had done that. She had me
come up on stage and together we shared about some of our healing
testimonies as well as my personal healing testimony about my visit with
her and her family in March.
I have prayed for people and had
seen great miracles of healing both here and in Thailand; yet, for the
last 20 years, I have had severe gluten intolerance which would cause
migraines. It would take a few minutes to a few hours for the migraine
to come on; and, I have spent days in a hospital with an I.V. of pain
killers. I even had a gluten migraine during that visit with them. Along
with the gluten intolerance I also had an intolerance to MSG which
caused many problems for me in Thailand.
Kerri's husband, Ron, led me through a simple prayer casting off the spirit of
worthlessness
that had attacked me since I was a small child. The next day the Lord
kept repeating Kerri's words to me. "You have believed me and have had
faith for great miracles, but you won't just receive healing for
yourself, and go in there and eat a cupcake!" I finally did and have
been free of both the gluten and MSG intolerances ever since. We also
shared about the miracle healing God did in my body the next day, which
included asthma, allergies and others.
Kerri encouraged people to
have faith to receive healing from the Lord and to be free of their
infirmities. As we were laying hands on people for healing, Kerri pulled
me aside. She said this is Phyllis, and she is blind in one eye. We are
going to pray for her, and she is going to see. I quoted scripture to
her (Romans 8:11) that the same power that raised Christ from the dead
is in us. She said "I believe it! I know that you are going to pray for
me and I am going to see again." She had great faith with no unbelief.
We
laid hands on her, and as Kerri rebuked the infirmity and commanded the
macular degeneration to leave and for her eyes to be made whole, I saw
in the spirit, angels around her and the vessels in her eyes being
reformed. I shared what I saw, and she opened her eyes and began to cry,
saying "I can see 45% better". We laid hands on her again, and she said
it was continuing to get better. We told her if she wasn't at 100%
before she left, we would pray for her again.
After lunch, I
taught her how to take authority and command the healing in her own
body. I said to her to command your eyes to be whole, and all disease to
be gone. After a few minutes, she understood my teaching and was at
98%. Another woman walked over and she was blind in one eye and wanted
prayer too. I asked Phyllis to pray for her, and as we laid hands on her
I could tell the woman had so much unbelief that she could not walk in
faith to receive it. Even after rebuking the unbelief, she wouldn't let
go of it and was not healed. Unbelief can stifle our faith and make it
impossible to receive (Matthew 13:53-58).
Before Phyllis left,
she was at 99% and could see the cracks in the painted brick wall.
Crying, she left saying, "I have to go home and tell my husband." We
prayed for several others that day. I know I prayed for 2 people with
aneurisms and many other diseases and anxieties. Some felt immediate
healing, and some we may hear about after a doctor's report. Some did
not receive. But, the Lord is there to give to all who can shed the
unbelief and walk in faith.
It's not easy, I know; it took me 20
years. Learn from my example, step out in faith and turn away from the
lies that Satan has spoken to you.

By
the way guys, after Jeanine got her gluten allergy healed, I was in AZ
at a women's conference and God led me to share her story. A woman
approached me and said, "As I sat down today, before you opened your
mouth God told me I was going to be healed from a life threatening
gluten intolerance." So I prayed with her in agreement she'd be
healed. She already had her word from God and the faith to walk it
out. I just agreed with her she was healed. Turns out she had a
cupcake ministry to bring cupcakes to the dancers in strip clubs but
she could never eat them. She said her throat would close and she'd be
in the ER. So about an hour later she approached me and showed me a
pack of 6 cupcakes and one was missing. She said,"I just ate a
cupcake! I have no symptoms. I took a step of faith and told Satan to
back off--that I was healed." She's been healed ever since.
Then two weeks later I was
in Danville, CA, and the woman driving me to my hotel said her
husband had just been diagnosed with Celiac disease and could not eat
gluten. I had to laugh and think, "God, am I getting a gluten ministry
or what?" I asked if we could pray for her husband and I got a vision
of him eating pizza. I asked her if he liked pizza and she said it
was his favorite food but the enemy had stolen his ability to enjoy
it and he'd be plagued with all sorts of symptoms. So she went home
and prayed with her husband and told him about my vision and that God
meant for him to be well and free of this disease.
I got a
text from her the very next day. That weekend he had eaten not
1...not 2...but 6 pieces of pizza and was totally healed and symptom
free. Ok....this man had faith and must have really wanted that
pizza! But what I'm learning about our God is that He is good. He
even says in His word "Taste and see that I am good." But so many of us
just don't see God this way. We look at the circumstances and the
lies the doctors or the world has thrown at us and we just "go with
the program." But when we step out to believe the word that God has a
better way, God's will IS for us to enjoy a healthy prosperous life
and see miracles. We can activate our faith in believing what Jesus did
on the cross for us. He died so we could be set free. He's anointed
us to preach the good news and set the captives free.
After
all I've been through I'm just realizing God put me here on this
earth to share the good news with everyone. I have a dear friend
whose sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was hosting ladies
"Bunco" at my house. Instead of playing the game that night we had a
little impromptu prayer for her sister's upcoming surgery which was
to remove the tumor and was going to be 8 hours long. It was amazing
because this group of moms is made up of all different ladies from
all walks of faith .We came together to pray (most of them had never
done that before.) My friend just told me that after her sisters
surgery she made a miraculous recovery in the middle of the night.
She took her IV out and said "I don't need this anymore." The surgery
was Tuesday and the doctors were so amazed that on Thursday SHE WENT
HOME! The doctors could not believe it but said there was no reason
for her to be there anymore even after having a huge brain tumor
removed. Her whole family is in celebration and knows it was because
of the power of prayer.
I never would have known 9
years ago our stand up comedy would turn into events where we
literally have healing lines after the shows and tangible miracles .
But it's been so much fun to see God do these things. I can only ask
Him to continue to use us and to see more of his Magnificent Glory. So
whatever it is you do on a daily basis--whether it's raising kids,
telling jokes, working at a bank or any other job--just believe.
Never under estimate the power of faith in believing God for
miracles. I thank each one of you who takes the time to read these
letters and also pray for Ron and my ministry. I hope this encourages
you and activates you to reach a little "out of the box" today and
see God work!You won't be sorry.
