Bakersfield, Ca. Blowout!! - Todd Bentley
August 10, 2002

BAKERSFIELD, CA. BLOWOUT!!

THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 190 Healings Over a period of 3 nights.

**The Vision of Healing Revival**

Some months ago, prior to the Bakersfield healing meetings, Todd was ministering in Lancaster, CA. At those meetings, Todd called out 4 people, an associate pastor, a friend and their wives. Todd prophesied over each of them that "They were each receiving some kind of an anointing, for healing over them, like a William Branham, Gordon Lindsay "voice of healing" anointing, back in the the 1940's & '50's.ā??

Later that day, after the meeting, these 2 couples told Todd that they were from Bakersfield, CA. After the meetings were over, they went back home to Bakersfield. Because of the words prophesied over them, they subsequently invited Todd Bentley to come hold meetings in Bakersfield CA. Todd's immediate reaction was, "Where is Bakersfield?" When Todd found out the heat level each summer in Bakersfield, he wasn't real eager to go, but he didn't have to worry about it because his schedule was filled up for the rest of this year, and most of next year.

Then a couple of months ago, the schedule opened up because of a cancellation, Todd said he'd pray about what to do with the time slot. When Todd was in prayer, he specifically asked, "Lord, where should I go? Is this supposed to be a time off with the family, or what?" And the Lord answered, "you know those people from Bakersfield you prophesied over in Lancaster last May? They've invited you, so go there."

Todd got back to his coordinator Shanee, and sure enough, he had 2 separate invitations to Bakersfield CA. So he took one of them.

**Miracles in CA**

Once in Bakersfield, as Todd was in prayer, the first night in the Pastor's office, he had a visitation from the Lord. Jesus transported him back in time. He found himself in Bakersfield, back in the '40's of '50's, and was in a Voice of Healing service, miraculous healings were taking place.

Later, Todd asked historically if there were ever any healing revivals in Bakersfield. It was then, that Todd found out that in the 1950's, Gordon Lindsay & Oral Roberts all had healing revivals there. Not only did they individually hold healing revival meetings there, but also Bakersfield was prophesied over by William Branham, and Paul Cain, that Bakersfield held a deep well of healing.

Then all of a sudden in the Bakersfield meeting, Todd began to prophesy. He said, "God is Re-digging & opening up the spiritual wells in Bakersfield, because of the historical spiritual heritage here in this city. This healing heritage for present healing revivals doesn't just belong to one pastor in this city, but to many pastors within this whole area of Bakersfield." Todd then shouted out a very powerful prayer, asking everyone to join him in agreement. Todd asked the Lord, "to have an open heaven, with a Jacob's Ladder in over this city. That there'd be an "open portal" into heaven hanging over the city, where the Healing Angels and Harvest Angels would come & go, over the whole city, causing a huge healing anointing & revival."

After this powerful time, God DID OPEN UP HEAVEN, AS WELL AS THE HEALING WELLS IN THE MEETING.

THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 190 healings, over a period of 3 nights.

Lupus, fibromialgia; disc/curved spine degenerations; Rheumatoid & degenerative arthritis; eye problems; ankle/foot/leg problems; were healed. were healed of arms/pinched nerves/neck/shoulder problems; 14 healed of partial or total deafness; leg or pain/knee injuries; multiple sclerosis; & generational curses were healed. Thyroid conditions, addictions; chest pains/ heart palpitations/irregular heartbeats; bladder/kidney/liver tumors or conditions were healed. Jaw/T.M.J./deteriorating gum conditions; tumors/cancers/ cysts; osteoporosis/broken bones/badly healed bones were also healed. Pelvis/ hip problems; chronic infections; strokes/brain/sinus/migraine conditions; hepatitis "C"; arms/hand probes; lungs; missing muscles/muscle injuries/muscle tears/& similar conditions were healed. 9 were healed of various hernias; as well as skin conditions, stomach problems/ulcers; & Chronic Depression. There were many deliverances, as well as many personal prophesies.

**Dramatic Miracles**

Here are some of the more dramatic healings that God did right before everyone's eyes:

Dee was in a terrible auto accident 10 years ago. For 10 years, the doctors & physical therapists have been unable to help her, with the pinched nerve at the base of her skull. The result was extreme pain, along with such a serious dizziness constantly, that she was unable to work, or even concentrate for very long, because of the pain. Dee had been to see many specialists in this field, to no avail. She simply put her hand on that part of her body as Todd prayed a blanket prayer of healing over the entire crowd. By the end of the prayer her body was completely healed! It has now been two days, and she is totally symptom free! Ten years of such suffering, gone totally in just a few minutes.

As Todd continued to speak about healing testimonies, Sylvia Soba felt a tremendous fire come upon her. At first she thought she was having a hot flash, but then it got much worse! She was dripping wet with heat, as if all over. She now knew it was God's healing fire. By the time the heat was finished, Sylvia's crippled, arthritic knees, and her Lupus and depression were completely healed! She tested it in the meeting by going up and down stairs at the side of the stage, which was something she hadn't been able to do for years. Later that night, she tested her Lupus, (which always left her in pain, tired & out of breath), and her painful weak knees on the extra long staircase at the back of the church, & she did perfect! So the next day, she helped a friend move out of an upstairs apartment, which she would've been unable to do.

**Crippling Disease Healed**

Bernadette Barley had suffered with Rheumatoid Arthritis for 28 years. For the last 15 of the years, this disease has gotten so horrible,that her pain was unbearable. She had been on the strongest anti-inflammatory & painkillers. She was hurting so badly as she sat there in the service, calling out to God, to heal her. Bernadette had also wanted to be healed so badly, that she had prepared herself for healing at home before Todd got to Bakersfield, by reading every Scripture on healing she could find in her Bible, and praying about it. God didn't let her down; this was to be her specially appointed time for divine healing. Todd called out that there was a woman with rheumatoid arthritis, & if she came forward, the Lord would heal her. So Bernadette limped up, obviously very crippled with this degenerate disease. Her arms were drawn up, and with hands that looked more like monsterā??s claws. After prayer, her hands and fingers went perfectly straight for the first time in 28 years! Next her legs and feet went straight as she felt a strong tingling all over her whole body. Finally all of her 28 years of pain completely left! She was so excited! She was also delivered of depression, as you can imagine after 28 years of such pain. Just a few months prior to this healing, her specialist shared with her that it wouldn't be very much longer until death would happen, and to ready her affairs. So she had just finished paying off her funeral and coffin expenses, picked out her favorite burial outfit, and was prepared to die! At the time,

Todd knowing none of this, it all came out in the testimony the next night. But at the time, Todd finished off her prayer, by prophesying that her latter years would be much more powerful than her former years!

This young robust woman got hit with a forklift about 2 yrs. ago. Since then, she had been in constant pain every single day, yet still having to make herself go to work daily. Life was just a blur of pain. Whenever she came to church, the pain would get much worse, so she didn't come as often as she thought she should. About 30 minutes prior to her miraculous healing, her pain got so severe throughout her whole body that she almost left. All of a sudden, Todd called out her exact symptoms, down to being injured by a large piece of machinery, a young woman. Shocked and surprised, she came forward. The Lord met her there, and after prayer, she was totally healed, all pain gone!

A little girl about 8 years old was called forward because of curvature of the spine...(scoliosis), along with a slipped disc in her back. After prayer, the little girl's back was on fire. She could feel the intense heat, and Todd could feel it radiating off of her back. Todd continued to pray, as he saw an anointing for healing upon her. As he continued to pray, the Lord somehow used this intense heat, to straighten out her little spine, and fix her slipped (herniated) disc! She was completely healed and-pain free!

Debbie Nafarro had injured both of her knees in a bad fall last April 3rd. Since then, she was in constant pain, with tingling and numbness down her thigh and into her injured knees. She was now handicapped in many ways, the most obvious being that she couldn't do even one stair step. All of a sudden, as she listened to other healing testimonies, she started getting hot & cold, hot & cold, and then all of her pain just left, right here in her seat at the back of the church building! Todd called her forward to testify. Todd had her doing deep knee bends, and stairs, which she eagerly did over and over, in total amazement of her brand new pain free condition! She felt weak all over, and giddy with joy as she laughed out loud, for the first time since the fall!

Next Todd called out for a woman to come forward, he could see in the Spirit a hip problem of some sort, people viewing her from the front or back would say that her hip injury made her walk "like a duck."

Karen Bryan responded to this call, and indeed came forward. She had had this hip problem, mostly on the right side for 10 years! Doctors were unable to help her. Most things in life, she could no longer do because of the deteriorating hip condition. But within 5 minutes coming forward to the healing call of God, she was totally healed, her hips were strong again, she was walking normal, and started literally "jumping for joy," as it had been 10 long years since she could do that. She was crying, happily feeling such joy, as God wrapped her in His love and healing power. The next day Karen did all kinds of things around the house and yard she hadn't been able to do for the last 10 years, and she is still healed and pain free!


**Paralyzed Parts Healed**

This young man had two problems. God immediately healed the first problem to give him faith to believe for the 2nd problem. Years ago, he had severed his tendons in both of his hands. Neither hand now worked well, nor his right hand was totally numb, with paralyzed parts. The tendons were never correctly sewn back together in surgery, they were left severed. The doctor said he would have to learn to live with it, as nothing could be done now. All of a sudden, he felt the healing power of God, heating up his entire body. From his seat, he shouted out, as his paralyzed hand began to regain feeling, as if it had been asleep for a very long time. Todd had him come up to the front. He said his tendons were totally severed in that one hand, and it was impossible for him to feel, let alone move that hands and those fingers and thumb at all. But here he was, with total feeling restored, and moving his hand and fingers and thumb, as if nothing had ever* happened! His second problem was hepatitis "C," from the drug abuse days. Todd told him that God healed his hands as a sign to him, that he was taking care of the rest, to have faith. He did, and we are expecting to hear even a second praise report from this young man.

**Deaf Hear**

Some 14 cases in all!!!

One of the ushers from one of the churches putting this crusade on was deaf in BOTH EARS. Todd prayed for his healing, and he felt heat over both ears. Then Todd whispered in his ears, and he could not have heard it before, but now the whispers were perfectly clear, he could hear everything sharply and clearly, for the first time in years.


After Todd prayed a blanket prayer for healing, he then asked all to come forward that felt they'd been healed, or at least were feeling the fire of God in some way, upon themselves. A little girl that was the grand daughter of a pastor asked her mom and dad if she could please come forward, she felt she had a healing. Knowing and trusting their little girl's words, they allowed her to come up all by herself. She was about 6 or 7 years old. She had been 40% deaf in her right ear. There was a large hole in her eardrum causing the! deafness, even though she'd had two ear surgeries to correct it. She said she felt very strong burning feelings, all over her right ear. Todd blessed what the Lord was doing, and asked for completion of her miracle. Next, she could hear perfectly, as clear as a bell! The next day, her grandfather, Pastor Harold Bryan from City Gate Christian Fellowship, testified that 6 yr. old Katie really did have a large hole in her eardrum, and 2 unsuccessful surgeries to correct the problem. On the phone to little Katie that day, he asked, "Katie, how do you know that God really healed you?" Little Katie answered back, "That's simple, Grandpa, I'm talking to you on the phone with the receiver on my bad ear, and I'm hearing you just fine!" Then Pastor Bryan verified her previous deafness in that right ear, and stated that she could never talk on the phone with that ear in the past, that it was impossible for her to hear any telephone sounds before her miraculous healing.

Another woman came forward for deafness. Todd cast out the deaf and dumb spirit from her. While she was down on the floor, he sent Jessie to pray over her. God told Jessie to repeat the name of "Jesus," over her, over and over again. Pretty soon, she started joyously crying, as she was hearing clearly for the first time in years. She said she had forgotten how nice it was, to be able to hear so clearly. She was overcome with joy and happiness! She had been 75% deaf before her healing!

One of the sons of the ushers, a young boy of about 8 years old, had been born a deaf in one ear. Todd rebuked the "deaf and dumb spirit" out of the boy, and his hearing was healed!

This young woman had been deaf in her left ear since she was 16 years old. Todd commanded the power of addiction, drugs, sorcery and more to come out now! "I command you, devil, come out now!" She fell to the floor shaking violently. Next Todd broke the power of addiction over her. She writhed like a snake on the floor, then her body jumped, and she layed very still. Todd felt led to sharply say "Jesus!" into her ear and blow the Holy Spirit into her ear. The woman said her ear was on fire, and sound was getting louder and louder each time "Jesus" was said sharply into her ear. Her hearing was 100% healed!

This woman had double hearing aides in. She had been partially deaf her whole life. Todd told her to take out her hearing aides. He commanded the "deaf and dumb spirit" to come out of her, and she went down on the floor. In just a matter of minutes, she was hearing much better. Todd then called upon God for a recreation of perfect ears. She began hearing fine! She said to Todd, "I'm amazed! I thank God, I've not been able to hear like this since age 6, and now for the first time in my life, I am!"

The Miracles went on and on.
