TREASURE HUNT TESTIMONIES!!

God is SO GOOD! Today we had the most successful Treasure Hunt of the year!! It was so amazing! And it all happened at Winco, no less! Praise the Lord, three (five, in faith) people were healed on the spot, and over half a dozen more were ministered to in some capacity! It was so awesome! Normally, I don't get to encounter more than a few things on my Treasure Map but today we found 6 different people that were on my list, plus people from the lists of my partners. WOW, I'm so excited. The greatest thing was that praying and ministering to people out in public is feeling much more natural to me now...alot of it just takes time but I've really felt an acceleration of my faith and confidence in the Lord lately. He's growing me so much, especially lately. It's NUTS. I don't have time to share all the testimonies from our outreach but I'll share one that was REALLY awesome. Our group leader Katie often gets words of knowledge (aka God will tell her a fact about a person, something they need healed, etc) by way of a pain in her body. So if there's someone in the vicinity who has a hurt knee, she will suddenly have knee pain. Strange, I know but it's God. Anyway, that was the case for one of our healings today! Katie suddenly got this pain in her knee, and felt that she and I should ask these two ladies whether or not they had knee pain. We both had "knee pain" on our Treasure maps so we approached them together, and came to find out that BOTH of them had pain in their right knee! DIVINE APPOINTMENT! Haha, they actually asked us if we were from Bethel, and gave us a funny look :). Nevertheless, they let us pray for them, and both got totally healed! They tested it out and everything; one lady could've bend down before we prayed and she was completely able afterward, and the other woman was able to straighten her leg without pain. It was SO AWESOME! God is so faithful!In addition to those, we got to minister to a man who's mother in law had just died, prayed for his wife (at home) who had Lupis, another woman got healed of pain in her hips, we prayer for a couple of women with headaches, talked to a mom with three kids, AND encountered a woman who had attended BSSM the VERY FIRST year it was open. SO cool.

Needless to say, it was a great experience, one I will draw from for divine appointments to come. Every testimony of God's love and power is a weapon for you to put in your spiritual arsenal. It shows you the areas in which you are sure to have victory! So, remember your testimonies!

I love you guys so much. I'm VERY excited to be coming home for Christmas. God has alot in store for us... One more quick thing before I go: I wanted to ask if you could all keep me in prayer this weekend. I'm going on a ministry trip of sorts to my friend Laurel's church in Reno. There's a group of about 10 or so of us going, and it is going to be a POWERFUL weekend. Our goal is just to bring the power of God that we've experienced into her church, and to see the Holy Spirit bring mew breakthrough to them. We'll be leading the entire Sunday service with worship, prophetic art, testimonies, prophetic words, and prayer for healing. It's the real thing! I'm bursting with anticipation over what God going to do! So, if you could all please keep us in prayer for safety on the roads and while we're in Reno, and that the Lord would pour His Spirit out on us in a MIGHTY way like never before, that would be amazing.

I'll keep you posted!

Love and Blessings,

Melissa
