What a fantastic report we received from one of our members:
For several days in January my friend was having pain in her back and that made walking difficult. She was using a cane to help her. It took several days before it dawned on me to pray for her…guess I am just slow. I went over to her, placed my hands on the small of her back and commanded that the pain leave and her back be made right (it was not an elegant prayer!). Just as I finished my hands got so hot and as I removed them from her back, I wondered why I hadn’t noticed her back was hot before (see, I told you I was slow). I started to walk away but instead turned back to my friend and asked if she felt the heat or anything. With a big smile on her face she said yes, straightened right up and started moving around. Pretty soon we were both doing a ‘hallelujah dance’! Good thing my ceilings are high, because that cane was being waved high in the air.
The next morning I awoke to find my right thumb swollen, red and painful. I had apparently strained it the previous day doing some work for a friend. What was I going to do? I was working at the church that morning. I decided I would take some pain medication….but wait….why not pray? (Remember, I told you I was slow). So I placed my left hand over my right thumb and commanded the pain to go away and my thumb return to normal. I lifted my left hand and looked at my thumb. Glory Glory! It was not red; it was not swollen; I could move it without pain. And the dancing began again! Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
One of our members had an amazing experience this Sunday.
I was praying before the service and was lying on the floor just experiencing God’s presence. As I laid there, I felt like my back was opened up and God moved His hand down my spine. He said, “I’m giving you a new backbone.” I automatically thought He was referring to my confidence levels which I have been struggling with lately.
Later that afternoon, I began to notice that the chronic lower back pain that I have suffered with for years was not bothering me. I have not had any back pain for the last two days and am believing that I am completely healed! But I will also continue to watch and see if my low confidence levels have changed as well.
I wanted to let you know about what happened at Trinity Lighthouse in Denison Sunday night. Brother Raymond asked me to come and preach after he had been here for a sectional meeting. At that meeting we had a prayer time for the pastors and again I had invited several of our family to join us not knowing that they would be praying for the pastors. We began to share the testimonies of the miracles that had been happening in our services and on the streets when we went on treasure hunts and God showed up and showed off in our sectional meeting. The next week Pastor Raymond called me and asked me to come and bring the fire we were experiencing here.
I told the congregation that I had been invited to come and impart the revival fire and that I needed a team to go with me and the church family is my team. We began praying about the meeting 6 weeks ago and we went up this past Sunday night. We ended up with 45 people from Summit going up with us.
Here is a snap shot of what happened…
In the music portion Brian Moyer released a testimony of a treasure hunt he had gone on, two ruptured discs were healed at Wal-Mart, I then stood and released the testimony of Scoliosis being healed at the Holy Spirit Conference and called for anyone with Scoliosis or a back problem to come forward for healing. One young lady came forward with Scoliosis and God healed her as I was calling out other maladies. When the shout went up I turned and asked what was going on. She stated that her back bone that had been in the shape of an “S” was now straight. When I questioned her as to how she knew she snapped at me and said, “Listen I know what a crooked spine feels like and now I know what a straight one feels like, I am healed.” We had a Chiropractor on our team and I had him examine her and he said the spine appeared to be as straight as could be.
This opened a flood of healing. Arthritis in a hand was healed, Deaf ears began to hear, blind eyes began to see, 6 hips were relieved of pain, depression and anxiety lifted with several stating they felt the darkness lift, asthma was healed, legs were lengthened, 2 cases of scoliosis were healed. I release another testimony about a rotator cuff being healed during worship and the Children’s pastor’s wife said, “I will take that for myself” and she was healed, no pain and full range of motion was restored. One lady had feeling restored to her finger tips. She had not been able to feel anything and was feeling different textures before the night was done.
WOW!
God showed up and showed off. The presence was tangible and everyone was touched. There were people all over the floor being prayed for, several people who had come in with depression even looked different when they left. It was a GREAT NIGHT!
We joined with 1st Assembly Denison, Texas and Bethany Worship Center of Allen, Texas in a community outreach blitz in the city of Denison. ? Sunday morning 1st Assembly had many Guests and they could connect 4 of the familiesdirectly from the outreach ? they had a great service Sunday morning. Sunday night they had 3.5 hour service of worship and ministry and there was break through and many healings! Yea God!!!
Here are just a few reports of what happened there…
A 68-year-old woman had had back pain and issues for 28 yrs, the power of God healed her and she bent over and laid her hands flat on the floor, bent over backwards and began dancing all around;
A 57 year old gentleman that had been disabled because of a broken back was healed and is going to be able to go back to work;
A young lady with vision problems and was required to wear very special glasses, God touched her and she declared sight was perfect;
There was a visiting family that came because they had heard of what was going on at 1st Assembly Denison and they had come for prayer. The Mom said she felt the power of God come on her and heal her but didn’t want to go into the details. They said they would be back next Sunday!
Pastor Randy got an unusual opportunity to pray for someone after being interviewed on the radio:
I received a call from a Radio Listener stating they had just heard about the miracles at Summit and wanted prayer for his wife’s back problem. Over the phone I told the husband to lay his hand on his wife’s back where the pain was and we prayed commanding healing. I asked her to test it out, but before I could ask her how she was I heard over the phone, “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh…” over and over. God healed her of all the pain and stiffness, but there was a little twinge left. We prayed again and all I heard was “Oh my gosh!”
The next morning I received an email from the husband declaring she was healed and awoke the next morning even better.
We always begin our staff meetings with reports of what God has been doing. Here’s the latest.
We had 38 visitors on Sunday morning.
We received great reports from Northpointe church and Folic that their services were totally rocked and there were healings and the Spirit was moving.
At the Holy Spirit Conference this past weekend, there was a couple that attended and God did an awesome work. Here is a little bit of their story. He had just revealed to her 2 days earlier that he had an affair. They have 3 children and the oldest who is a pre-teen realized something was up, He asked his mom if everything was OK. She said, no it isn’t but I know it will be OK. While they were here at the conference God helped restore the relationship and she actually said she feels NO anger. On Saturday she talked to her son and he asked how she was and she was able to tell him that everything was doing good and it was going to be alright. He told her that he was praying and she was able to tell him that his prayers worked.
Another cool thing that happened is that Alisha got a word for her, she felt like she was to give her a name tag that said Princess and that God was giving her a new name. When Alisha gave her the name tag she burst into tears and told Alisha that she was praying for a new name but she felt like God said He would bring it to her. WOW! Isn’t God Cool!
Sunday morning we had 1 saved and 2 filled with the spirit with the evidence of tongues.
Someone said that Sunday morning she felt a boulder that had been present in her life for 12 years had been removed.
Amber was healed of back pain after the word of knowledge came forth Sunday morning.

A word was given to call people and pray for them over the phone. Anna a friend who has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar and after we prayed for her she said, ” I feel Happy.” Also Sharon called her mom who was suffering with terrible knee pain. After they prayed she felt the spirit all the way in California and she was walking around and crying. Totally Healed!
Linda’s Back was healed
Amy O. was healed of Scoliosis and rheumatoid arthritis! At lunch after service, she said, “My finger hurts, and I am so happy!” When she was asked her if she wanted prayer for it and she said, “No, I have been in so much pain that i didn’t even notice that my finger hurt, but now all the other pain is gone I can feel it. I like this pain. It makes me happy!”

These are some additional reports we have received about what God is doing lately…
Bernice received a report about a month ago that her white blood cell count was high and there were white blood cells in her urine. Their first Sunday here someone gave a word of knowledge that God wanted to heal blood disorders. We prayed for her and this past week she received another report that everything was normal!
David and Debbie’s daughter who was an addict and in jail has been released and she is healthy, going to church, and has a job that she is excelling in. God has turned her life around.
Debbie’s father was diagnosed with lymphoma. Recently he went in and the Doctors told him that the cancer cells had not grown any, in fact the may have even shrunk. The doctor was not able to say he was in remission but they are going to do one more round of chemo. So keep him in your prayers!
David has been mentoring Ronnie who is in Eastham unit in Lovelady TX. One Sunday David had a strong burden for him, so he prayed and when they had a chance to talk, David asked what happened that day. Ronnie told him that on that day there was a motorcycle group that was there and God showed up.
There were gang members laying down their colors, homosexuals laying down their lifestyles and many people were saved. Ronnie teaches a
bible study and his class attendance in now at 47! Praise God!
