Can you hear me now? Bom!

As mentioned on a previous post, before I came to Brazil, I had an impression that God was bringing creative miracles. A creative miracle is a healing that takes place where something new was created. In October, I prayed for a lady with metal in her which hindered her range of motion. I prayed for her, and she was completely healed. Either the metal disappeared, or she was still able to move with it in. I've seen x-rays of people who used to have metal and now don't. And I've seen x-rays where the metal was still there, but now it bends like a normal body part. It doesn't matter how it happened, but it was a creative miracle and not just a normal healing.

I saw a new ear, new legs, a new heart, and I know there's more! I've been waiting to see it and pray for it. We were in a service tonight led by Randy Clark. We were called to the front to give words of knowledge. This is where our team would mention a body part or condition that was given to us supernaturally from the Holy Spirit. When talking about words of knowledge before, I felt the Lord telling me to speak about the ear. But tonight I felt nothing.

Every time we've talked about words of knowledge on this trip, my left ear tingles. In my vision, I saw that it was a woman who received the new ear. I always planned on speaking this. Tonight, I felt the power of God, but my ear felt nothing. I was getting no other words of knowledge. I knew I didn't have to give one, but my faith was high and I wanted to share. I asked the Lord to give me some kind of sign to tell me to speak this word or to shutup. I felt nothing.


I decided to go for it. The Brazilian congregation was told to stand up when they heard their condition called out. There were about 40 of us and I was in the middle. By the time it was my turn, there were already many people standing for other conditions. I spoke the word, "Creative miracle. Female. Left ear completely gone." I saw one lady stand up, but we went down the line so fast, I wasn't sure if it was in response to my word or not.

We wanted to see if some were sovereignly healed by just hearing the word. Some were, but not that lady. Then Randy prayed over everyone. More were healed, but not that lady. Then they told whoever wasn't healed, they need to go to the team member who spoke that word. Now was my chance!

To my surprise, three ladies with deafness in their left ear lined up in front of me. All of them had their ears, so it didn't fit the word exactly. But it didn't matter. I was going for it! I grabbed an interpreter and we began to pray. We prayed for the first lady several times. We really fought for her. But she wasn't being healed. She didn't even feel the Spirit. I felt the power, especially in my right hand. My right hand was shaking a little and I felt a slight tingling sensation throughout my body. But she felt nothing. And she wasn't healed.

We prayed a blessing for her, then moved on. It was difficult to move on because we worked so hard and nothing happened. But we began praying for the second lady. She saw the other lady not get healed. We fought and fought for her. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I asked if she felt the presence of the Lord and she said she felt a little shaking. My shaky right hand was on her, so I didn't think anything of it. I think even if I pressed in more, she wasn't going to receive. We moved on.

By now, I'm exhausted. My interpreter didn't say anything, but I could tell by the look on her face she thought the same thing I did when the next lady came up. "Oh no. Just make it stop. Nothing's happening. Now this lady is here with her husband and they've seen two others with the same condition go away without a change." But we pressed on and prayed for her. We fought and fought and fought. Nothing.

We asked her if she felt anything from the Spirit, and she said she felt a little shaking. Same as the previous lady, but this time... my hand wasn't on her. I realized that with my shaking and both of these ladies receiving a little shaking, than the Spirit must be here. I explained this and we thanked the Lord. We fought and fought and fought. We asked her if she felt any different. While she spoke to the interpreter I was thinking, "Come on God. This has to happen. Don't let her give the same answer. I'm exhausted and nothing's happening!" The interpreter quietly said, "She's 60% better."

I was filled with faith. We wanted 80%-100% better. We prayed again and fought and fought and fought. This time...80%. We wanted more so we fought so more. 95%. We continued. After a while, it was almost there. She said she a little bit more. So we prayed and fought so more. Then came the words, "En todo." All. Complete. 100% healed!

As the burden was lifted, I felt such joy. I prayed a blessing on her and her husband. As I walked out, I saw them from a distance telling some of their friends. These 30 somethings were acting like 12 year old girls. They were so giggly and exited. One of her friends looked over at me and I just laughed. Praise God.

In all, 71 received sovereign healings, about 20 salvations, 5 deliverances from demonic oppression, and through the direct prayers of our team of 40, we saw an additional 97 healed. Including my one deaf ear.
