As some of you may have heard already, there has been an outpouring of sorts at IHOP this week where the Holy Spirit is healing, delivering, and renewing people here—anyone and everyone.
I have been in and out of the meetings (depending on my work schedule), and I am loving it. It’s amazing to see people healed in their bodies and able to do things that they couldn’t do for years. Deaf ears are opened, dim and blind eyes are restored to perfect eyesight, crooked spines are straightened, injuries are healed. One of my housemates was healed: her spine was straightened and one leg that was shorter (because of the crooked spine) grew to the right length. I love when the Lord does those things!
But what touches my heart even more than the physical healings that I see, is watching the Lord deliver sons and daughters of addictions and fears and disorders. I talked to one guy who came into the meeting addicted to drugs and left the next day completely free! He went home and burned all kinds of paintings he had done on drugs, and got rid of all kinds of music that wasn’t sanctified and the Lord has changed so much in his heart! You could see it on his face!
Some of the most amazing testimonies I have heard though, are of girls who got delivered of self hatred and the corresponding eating disorders. The Lord did in a moment of time what could have and would have taken years of counseling and therapy to accomplish! The Lord began to reveal Himself to different girls who were swallowed in self hatred as the One who formed them and loved them from the beginning and washed away years of lies and pain—and then He healed their bodies! Because of the eating disorders that some of these girls had dealt with, many of their digestive systems were very damaged—one girl said she would throw up nearly ever time she ate and couldn’t hold much in—and the Lord healed them!
When I listed to these stories, my heart is so moved and I am so thankful to Jesus for coming and healing and saving and delivering. Jesus, thank you for your kindness! I am so moved by the compassion of your heart!
