![]() Sure enough, there was a thin oil on her head. While we were praying, she said to feel her forehead. I prayed for her diabetes and other health problems after that. My wife got a message in tongues for her and an interpretation and prophesied over her about God using her in prophetic ministry. A few people stand in the back anyway, and it did not look like a place for prayer.Īn older African American woman who was actually sitting with us in the pew earlier, that we did not really know well (beyond 'hi's' and handshakes, we haven't been going there long), came over to my wife wanting prayer. When I saw she went over to the side, I asked her how about if we just go stand in the back and pray that the Lord send us whoever He wants us to pray with. I felt like I was supposed to go with her. My wife wanted to pray with people after the service and went to the side. My wife and I are getting ready to take a training so we can participate in this ministry, but haven't yet. One of the pastors spoke today about the importance of being filled with the Spirit, asking people to pray for 21 days for the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit.Īfter the service, if people want prayer, they go to ministry leaders or cell group leaders along the side. The leadership believes in the gifts, but they have people from quite a diverse background, so church services have been kind of evangelical and not too charismatic, third wave, or Pentecostal. My wife and I have been going to a church here in town that has an international emphasis. I've never been anti-gold dust or anti-gold fillings. I've heard of gold fillings from the Allen meetings. There are some 'Extreme Prophetic' shows on YouTube that show miracle oil, gold dust, gold fillings, diamond dust, gems that just appear, angels on tape, and a lot of other things that are perhaps a bit less sensational. Certain Vineyard churches or churches that have people from Vineyard backgrounds seem to graviate toward this movement. there is a kind of movement that likes MorningStar and Kansas City prophets. I'd heard of this sort of thing from 'prophetic movement' sources. One of Allen's videos had 'miracle oil' on his hands, where some kind of oil was appearing on his hands. There are videos of Jack Coe and especially A.A. In your deep places, where your world is melted by fire wedged into the rock of hard circumstances and hidden below the surface of what others see, yes even in your darkness - is a secret place where deep calls to deep, where wounded hands uphold you with an everlasting love, and where a holy heart that was broken makes yours forever whole.Īmy is a Press Services International Columnist from Adelaide.I have been watching old healing movement videos from the '50's and 60's on YouTube. When all you see is dust, He sees specks of gold and brings them out of hiding. There are jewels that can only be forged in hard places, these treasures your King will wear in His crown for all to see, for this is His testimony of overcoming power at work in your life. Love’s victory pushed aside the stone of a defeated grave - and in that moment all your treasures hidden in darkness met the light of the risen Christ. You can trust Him for He will retrieve gold from dust and diamonds from rock. ![]() He can bind up your wounds because He was wounded for the joy set before Him: an eternity with you.īecause of all Christ endured, you can feel safe inviting His Spirit to search the dusty tunnels of your heart. He can heal your broken heart because His heart was broken for the love of you. He hung with strength that looked like weakness: a whip-slashed back, nail-pierced hands and feet, breaths seared with exhaustion, and a heart that failed, broken by the weight of crucifixion. Only Christ knows the depths of our suffering because He alone has carried our brokenness. We are accustomed to seek out those who appear strong to bring healing and support - yet in the depths I found One with wounds that heal. Christ was crucified in the darkness, Christ was buried in the rock of hard places, Christ was crushed to secure our salvation.
