Testimonies
in PNG 1/10/11 – 4/10/11
Saturday-
preached and saw a woman healed of headache and chest pain all pain gone.
Man shot in arm by police pain left (can’t remember if all or just some), then presence of God fell so much love he started weeping, turns out he was a backslider, really beautiful presence of God.
As Nick preached, I heard Holy Spirit telling me to preach on Jesus’ return so I did, and also on forgiving and loving your enemies etc.
Then Nick told me that night he was really stirred to preach on the rapture and second coming, and the next day at church the pastor preached on the rapture and second coming!!! Saturday night dreamt about Christian brother struggling with spirit of lust. Saturday felt such religion in missionary home and that night in prayer room felt like the Lord was standing in the room with me. When we would preach, there would be crowds of people. It wasn’t like here, there would be probably a hundred or more just stand there and listen, they clapped for us all when we would preach too some of them.
Sunday
church
Monday
Beggar on street had been given wrong medication and went paralysed in face and had to beg. He had been a missionary years before. We didn’t see instant healing but we were looking for him each day to keep praying for him.
Hospital,
First woman we prayed for, she had TB i think, and she had been unable to pee or poo normally, had to be carried to and from the toilet, and she was totally unable to poo, also hadn’t been able to walk etc. She had pain either side of her body, after we prayed over her all her pain ended up leaving (we had to pray a few times), then she hadn’t been able to lie on her face and she could, then she stood up and her leg would shake, then we would rebuke it and the shaking would stop etc, and she walked, the following day she was way stronger and pain was all gone. Grace, a little tiny skinny girl had all her pain healed. A man who had diarrhoea with blood when he tried to eat, he had pain in the tummy and his pain was all healed. He told us we have to come back the next day like really kept asking please come back. On the Tuesday he said diarrhoea all gone pain all gone. He was starving he needed food, we gave him special protein/vitamin drink we had. He basically was saying he wanted to go to church because God gave him a miracle. Stanley was in ward and we suspect he had been a rascal, he was so emaciated he looked like he was a starving man. Nick gave him testimony of how Jesus saved him when he was a rascal and Papa God im likim yu tumas, ie God really loves you, his eyes lit up, we prayed over him his pain was healed, he had no wontok ie no family bringing him food etc, he was really glad we came, and the following day he was just glowing, we gave him a pidgin Bible cos he didn’t have one. He was glowing. Another man he didn’t get healed or much improvement so am still praying for him for his nerves etc to work properly cos he just randomly lost ability to
walk and was really weakened, they would say the doctors didn’t even know the cause. Just witchcraft haha.
prayed for woman Dudi in mental ward, I didn’t pick up much, but then Nick said the Holy Spirit told him that I had a word for her so i waited on the Lord and He showed me a beautiful delicate crystal shaped thing like ornament and it was
shattered. And I felt the Lord say she had many hopes that were destroyed, and that God wanted to restore her hope. As Lloyd prayed for her for that I saw a bitter root and asked if she had to forgive anyone and then she told us her husband burnt her house, she had four kids none of which she could afford to send to school, and I think pretty much none of the church people helped her, so she had a lot going on, we led her in prayer of forgiveness for those
people. Please pray for her family – Puka, Geno, Gena, Eunice, Rosa and Willy for them to have a house and to be able to afford to go to school.
Tuesday
Went to the jail, after Nick and Lloyd (A Papua New Guinean brother) preached, from what I could see the entire lot of men said the sinner’s prayer!!! We laid hands on a man who had just been bashed by the police and prayed, he didn’t have any healing at the time but I could feel we didn’t release enough faith so it was our fault haha. Another man apparently was there for trial for murder. Out the front of the jail a man we had prayed for the day before with leg pain, said he was healed except a liklike (little) pain remained so we prayed again, he tested it, all healed. He testified he had had this pain for 12 years and now he was healed.
Mary healed of back pain, she had seen us preach and was really blessed. She was a beautiful woman. One man in particular had pain in chest right down to knees and back I think, God healed him in each section quite quickly, he was really happy another one his eyes were just glowing and he was really excited he was healed.
A woman was healed of one ear was damaged after she had been bashed by her husband – she couldn’t hear far away, Jenny/Jinny her name was. So we commanded it to be opened etc and she was completely healed. Then when Timothy, a man saw that she was healed, he came up and said if God could heal her He could help him be free from his addictions, he was a rascal he drank/smoked/betel nut etc. So we prayed, felt the presence of the Lord, but I know I had a lot of doubt about if he was fully healed. So a few hours later we were back at the hospital, and he came to us and told us I think from what i understood from his pidgin, that he had had a sleep and when he woke up he was absolutely delivered (he’d said
salvation prayer too), and he just didn’t want the taste or anything. He said he used to smoke something like 16 big ‘brown’ smokes a day or in the afternoon and he just didn’t want anything. He was really excited about it.
Gilbert was stabbed please pray for his healing and for Marseis for his complete deliverance.
Another woman in hospital so skeletal said she didn’t have visitors, we prayed for her, rebuked the swelling in her belly and commanded healing etc. Afterwards, the presence of God just fell and I then asked Lloyd a national to ask her if she had pain. She said she had been healed of the pain where I had had my hand on her side, and then she had some left on other side and on her back and we rebuked it and it all left. Then I asked him to ask her if I could hug her and she cuddled right into me, and then it was like I could feel her soaking all the love out of me. I really have deep compassion for that woman.
What I can’t stress enough is like we have literally lost count of how many were healed – it was literally one after the other, it got to the stage we were weak from hunger and had to go, like no one was yelling for prayer, but I think if we stayed
more would have come. A man in a wheelchair we saw we prayed for him too can’t remember what it was but he was fully healed of all his pain, and to me that was a significant one because I think he had been involved in some rough stuff. One woman had had pain for two days and two nights in her knee, some prayed for her and she didn’t get healed so we prayed again and had to pray about 4 times and it was all healed. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Another woman they prayed 3 times and no change in pain, we had just seen two healed really quick of back pain so we laid hands and after two laying on of hands she was completely healed. I want to tell you that it is different there, like at times, I can’t explain how it is, but it was like my entire body every cell was filled with Jesus, I could feel His fire in me even to my fingertips, it made me understand that verse where Paul said, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” It felt like that, it felt like when I was touching people Jesus was doing it through me. Sometimes I would feel this POWER in me so strong and I knew if I could release it it would completely heal every single ailment in them, but I seemed to not know how to release it really fast? Twice we had been praying and they were having this gradual healing, and then Nick told us we had to leave, so we would lay hands on again and really fast command it to leave the pain and body to function and then they would have their healing like really quick. hahahaha. Prophesy doesn’t seem particularly common there, and when I had a few words for a few of our brothers, there was a lot of things that seemed to try to block prophecy. Please pray for that to be
broken. We asked any Christians in the crowd to come and lay hands with us, because we know it is nothing to do with us it’s all Him. We had Mary lay hands on a woman with back pain after she had been healed herself and she was also
healed. I gave a few words to the men through the native men and they really were encouraged like you could see they felt really cared for by God. Also very shame culture so I spoke that over the mike, I said, ” I tell you that if you have asked for forgiveness and I bind and break all shame off you in Jesus Name.” something like that, I preached also on meeting eachother’s physical needs, and also that I have seen people richer than they could imagine, and that they were just as broken as a beggar on the street, if you ain’t got Jesus you ain’t got nothing!”
Some applauded for that. We had fliers with salvation message and they were chasing us down to get them. The Word of the Lord is held in high esteem over there – I had a drunk man approach me and speak Pidgin to me I had no idea what he was saying and the local guys told him I was a missionary. As soon as they told him that he was like sorry sorry and really respectful towards me. Another time in the streets it seemed someone was looking to take our belongings and the entire
crowd were like no it’s their stuff pointing to us, they are very protective of us. God told me as we were flying in to land in PNG John 4:38
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Many missionaries were martyred in that nation, and the power of God is manifest there. We must pray and pay the price to see His Kingdom come in this nation also.
Also whilst there, on the Tuesday in particular, I had this great boldness and I would pray like my voice would go really deep and I would put my mouth close to the injured body part and command pain to go and bind the devil and cast it out,
command healing and body function to return, and the various parts ie the nerves, the blood vessels, the muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones etc to LIVE and function in Jesus Name and speak in tongues to it, so loud and like a crazy woman, this was in front of many people, and they were getting healed! The group of us involved in the outreach, we had such unity and acceptance of one another. There wasn’t any like nit picking between us just love and agreement. It made things SO much better. Hallelujah!!! Apparently one woman or person was there and was scrutinizing what was happening, and they just saw person after person healed hahahaha. Thanks be to God. In the photo, the man in the middle next to me, he is Timothy, he is the one who was instantly delivered from drug and alcohol addiction after we lay hands on him and prayed.
There are many Christians there who have paid a high price and lay down their lives in sacrifice to serve that nation. The salvation army couple we met had started many schools including a street school to help the children who couldn’t afford
to attend. They also feed them. We must stop division between us and love one another. We must have unity in Him, and meet one another’s physical needs. The other thing I wanted to say was I would sit on the ground and touch the
affected area, I would throw myself into as humble a place as I could, get yourself low exalt Jesus high, we would lift Him up worship over the people sometimes, the other thing is like when we would pray you could feel the Holy Spirit just cover them, I would actually get drunk in the Holy Spirit and sometimes would shake from His presence, it was just so free so powerful.
The second pic is out the front of the jail. The video is of the man who was healed of 12 years of chronic pain in his legs. Many told us they had paid over 1000kina for treatment with no relief, and they would be healed after two times of laying on of hands!
