The River is off to a great start in 2019, as we had a day of multiple healings on Friday, January 11!

Orlando had been able to only move his thumb and index finger, which made it difficult for him to work doing certain tasks. Doctors had told him that there was nothing they could do to help him. The three other fingers had healed improperly, because he removed the brace they were set in prematurely.

After prayer by the volunteers serving in The River, Orlando was able to move and use his previously immovable fingers on his left hand!

He also had pain in his teeth so bad that he couldn’t even eat the tortilla chips we offered him that day. After the team prayed for him, he was clenching and chomping his teeth and had absolutely no pain! He was now ready and able to eat anything he wanted!

Lastly, the team prayed for his memory - which he had been having problems with recently.

Later, Gregory came into The River in obvious pain. He said it was his back-that he had disc issues & stenosis. So, the team prayed for him….multiple times! The pain receded each time, from 10 to 5, then all the way to ZERO! The prayers continued until even the remaining stiffness vanished! Then a volunteer checked his leg length and saw that his left leg was 3/4“ longer than his right leg. They proceeded to pray and Holy Spirit adjusted the right leg to be even with the left leg!!!

We give thanks to God for His love and healing touch over our friends, Orlando and Gregory!

HEALING FROM PRAYER & STANDING ON THE WORD

Michael (pictured here with Deep Passion's Director, Paul Schutte) shared how he was prayed for at at the conclusion of the Open Assembly on July 1, 2018 by Calvin Weaver.  He reported back the following week that the pain that he had been experiencing in his side left after the prayer and had not been back, .....until he came to attend Open Assembly again on July 8.  When it returned, he recognized it was a "lying symptom".  He declared "By the stripes of Jesus, I am healed!", and the pain left again!  

Michael wants you to use the Word to claim and maintain your healing, as well!

Healing Testimony by Sharice Styles

I attended Deep Passion's Wednesday night service because I heard Bob would be sharing about healing the way the Holy Spirit had given it to him. After the amazing teaching, we all gathered to pray for anyone who needed healing....just as we always do. However, this time when I walked away from praying for one of my fabulous sisters in the Kingdom, I heard Holy Spirit say "Receive your healing". I honestly thought nothing of it, but out of obedience I spoke the words "I receive my healing".

The next day (Thursday) I had a previously scheduled appointment with my OB/GYN and she noticed what felt to her like multiple fibroids that had grown back that were pretty large in size. She advised me that I'd probably need surgery to remove them because most likely they were the reason for the symptoms I had been dealing with recently. She scheduled an appointment in 3 weeks for an ultrasound and to discuss what steps we'd take next.

When I got to the parking lot I called my husband to tell him what the doctor had just said and he immediately reminded me that there would be no need for surgery, because I'd received my healing the night before at Deep Passion! We prayed a quick prayer, just thanking God for his miraculous healing power and for already healing me before I even knew I needed healing.

Friday morning I woke up to fluids of some sort coming out of my body. It happened all day Friday, all day Saturday, and by Sunday it had stopped completely. I asked the Holy Spirit what had been happening to me and I heard "the fibroids are being released". When I had my monthly cycle all the previous symptoms were no longer there.

In exactly 3 weeks, I went to the scheduled ultrasound. When the doctor met with me to go over the results she said, "I guess I was wrong, we don't see any fibroids except one and it's so tiny that there's no way it caused any of the symptoms you were having. So I don't think you need the surgery for that little thing". I replied, "No, I won't be needing surgery, I know where the fibroids went!" and I laughed my way out the door.

I truly believe that God was so pleased that I had prayed for my sister in Christ to be healed, sincerely and wholeheartedly, that he healed me of a medical situation that I didn't even know I had at the time. The lesson is that we truly should love our neighbor with all our heart and their concerns should be our concerns. When we have a heart like this, God can move mightily on our behalf.
