When Heaven Invades Africa

Almost every time I go to town I get to bless someone in need. Usually it’s in the form of food for the street kids. The other day I had a little old lady ask me for a soda. It’s fun blessing those little old mamas because they’re so sweet and appreciative. Although they can be quite forceful too! I don’t hand out money very often but sometimes I feel led.

I’ve had the opportunity to pray for people on the street quite often. No screwing around with those piddley little prayers either (I know, I’m just kidding there’s no prayer to small). I’ve prayed for limbs to grow back, twisted hands and feet to straighten and most recently elephantitis. Haven’t had any breakthroughs yet, that I know of, but any day now! The Lord said I’d see fingers and arms grow back so that’s what I’m expecting.

I’ve heard some crazy amazing stories from pastors about healing and deliverances that have been taking place. Not just one or two but hundreds and even THOUSANDS in a day. I can wait to be in the middle of one of those meetings. So many diseases and illnesses here are the result of witchcraft and demon possession. There’s a couple of TV evangelists that have the gift of deliverance. They’ll get people on stage (sometimes by force) and start preaching in Jesus name and these demons start to manifest. Shrieking, flopping around and trying to run from the stage (which is usually followed by a guard knocking them back off their feet). You don’t see this kind of stuff on American television.

Hi Jeremy. Remember it was prophesied that you would "be like Reinhard Bonnke"? And even before that I believe you will get to be in the middle of some of those amazing healing, deliverance and salvation gatherings. That is also my desire. Chase after the miracles until they are chasing you! We become like who we hang out with and I want to hang out wherever it is happening! You will see great and mighty miracles of God! So many in other countries commune with evil spirits so when they meet the real deal, Jesus Messiah, they know it without a doubt! Keep on keepin on with Jesus! Every day with Jesus is so very exciting! I am just high on God every day! Oh, what a wonderful Savior! I love you, Mom
