Miracle Explosion In Ohio

Miracle Explosion In Ohio

By Matt Sorger

It was an open heaven all week! As I flew into Ohio from New York I was sleeping on the plane. Suddenly I was awakened out of my sleep with a keen awareness that the spiritual climate had just changed around me. It felt as if the heavens were opened and God?s presence and glory became so tangible and real. I knew God had something mighty planned.

We began the week with Jacob Blaze, a youth and young adult conference. The keynote speakers were myself and Gerald Coates, an apostolic and prophetic voice from England. What a great time we had ministering to the young people. I so appreciated Gerald?s wisdom and heart. He?s a true spiritual father. The theme for the week?s gathering was INTERGENERATIONAL REVIVAL. How fitting it was to have three generations represented in the conference with Paul Cain, Gerald Coates and myself, a younger man just turned 30! God is drawing the hearts of the generations together as prophesied in Mal. 4 before the Great Day of the Lord comes. The Holy Spirit emphasized to our hearts the importance of relationships within the body of Christ. God is raising up spiritual fathers and mothers, generals in the faith, to pass along and impart their wisdom and experience to a younger generation who is burning with a holy fire and zeal.

Thursday night was MIRACLE EXPLOSION night! God truly is doing something extraordinary among this younger generation. The air was electrified with the presence of God. I ministered on the forerunner anointing of Elijah. There was such a hunger in the hearts of God?s people both old and young. They were jumping to their feet to proclaim their desperation to have a fresh visitation and power encounter with God. This generation is hungry for the reality of the Spirit?s power! Hundreds of young people responded to the call to be a forerunner in their generation, one who moves in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. God is raising up voices in this hour who will boldly proclaim the coming of His Kingdom to the earth.

THERE WAS AN EXPLOSIVE RELEASE OF GOD'S MIRACLE POWER IN THE MEETING. Earlier this year I was up in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada at a prophetic conference with Todd Bentley. At the conference Stacey Campbell, a powerful prophetic voice for the Lord, prophecied that God was going to release the miraculous in my meetings in the lives of young people. As they personally experienced the miracle power of God they in turn would receive the faith to go out and lay hands on the sick and see them healed. There would be a ripple effect in the Spirit spreading and multiplying the miracle healing power of God!

As we began to release the healing anointing God?s power was unleashed upon these young people with some of the greatest miracles we have ever seen in our ministry. God began to sovereignly heal eye conditions to the point where young people were removing their glasses and receiving perfect 20/20 vision. God even healed deaf ears! Here are a few of the written testimonies that came in that night and several from later in the conference:

Luke Wilmot, age l3, Burton, Ohio: I had to wear glasses in order to see far away. I was praying during the youth rally when God came over me and touched my eyes. I can see far away now and do not need to wear glasses anymore.

Angie Herzberger, age 23, Cleveland, Ohio: I had pulled my neck and was seeing a chiropractor and taking muscle relaxors in order to sleep. When Matt said to put our hand on the part of our body that needed healing I put my hand on my neck. I felt it pop and all the pain was gone.

Charlotte Curtis, age l9, Akron, Ohio: I had lower back pain. I felt a fire going through my body and I was healed.

Melissa Arroyo, age l7, Lopley, Ohio: I suffered with migraine headaches and had to take Excedrin for the pain. Matt said to lay your hands on your ailment so I laid my hands on my head. When I took my hands off I felt like a weight lifted off my head and all the pain was gone.

Ariana Wilson, age l4, Akron, Ohio: I'm partially deaf in the right ear. I have had three surgeries for it and there was permanent scarring. As Matt spoke of healing I felt a pressure build up and release in my ear - then I heard thuds like a heartbeat, and then I could hear as clear as a bell.

Brian Pritt, age 23, Akron, Ohio: I suffered with WPW (Wolf Parkinson White), a sporadic heartbeat with tachycardia. I had surgery, but it was only partially successful. As Matt was praying I was able to breathe better and then I noticed my heartbeat had changed.

Sharon Spencer, Age 21, Akron, Ohio: I was diagnosed bi-polar and was on 75 mg. of effexor. Last night and today at the church I realized I haven't taken my medication in a few days - by now I should be going through severe withdrawal - headaches, spiking anger, panic attacks. None of it happened and my mind is clear. I am not afraid anymore.

Hannah Souders, age l6, Copley, Ohio: I had sciatic pain and migraines. At Jacob's Blaze, the evening session, I was healed. I was about ten when this suffering started.

Rachael Monnin, age l5, University Hts., Ohio: My knee was hurting so bad I almost couldn't get off the floor when sitting. Matt said "all things be healed" and my leg started shaking. I was healed.

Alise Harvey, age 20, Hopkinsville, Ohio: I had constant popping in my ears for one year after a plane ride. Matt said to place our hands on the part of our bodies that needed healing. My ears were one place that I put my hands. I felt some warmth. Then we were told to check out our bodies to see if anything was healed and that is when I noticed that my ears were no longer popping.

Peter Knotts, Strongsville, Ohio: I had a stigmatism in one eye and back and knee pain - my knee felt loose. The doctor said I would need glasses and also because of my knees I could not lift anything heavy. As I touched my knees, eyes and back I felt my knees tighten. My eyes felt relaxed where before there was pain - now clarity came where before there was blurriness. I also put my hand on my heart and felt peace come in.

Shauna Calfee, Age l5, Akron, Ohio: I had eye problems, neck, shoulders, and back too. I also had bulimia for 3 years. Not sure what all that means, but God worked. I wasn't on the right page with Him - but now I'm better - EVERYTHING IS BETTER.

Ashley McCray, Age l6, Kent, Ohio: I received a spiritual healing. I told God I wasn't going to stop asking until he gave me healing - then I felt a hot sensation come over my heart and I felt changed. Matt prayed over me and I fell to the ground in tears and was basking in God's presence like never before.

Kimberley Hershberger, Age l3, Uniontown, Ohio: I received both physical and spiritual healing. I would feel like I was being choked but nothing was there. Sometimes I would feel like I couldn't breathe. Matt started praying and I felt I could breathe on my own.

John Whitacre, 8/02/03, Saturday night: At City Fire 2003, Thursday, Matt spoke a word about God healing a mild curvature of the spine. I said God I receive that and went to talk to Matt and he prayed for me. God shook my spine side to side from my head to the middle lower of my back. Then suddenly my shoulders went back and I was able to stand straight up without any discomfort. It is two days later and my back is still straight. A friend yesterday noticed I was standing straighter.

Carla Gillespie, age 36, Kent, Ohio: I have been treated for chronic knee pain. As I got prayer my knee stiffness began to lessen. I began to dance and bend my knees more and more until they were loose and without pain.

Pam Waldschmidt, age 55, Cleveland, Ohio: I had sciatic - a throbbing in my left leg and sharp pain in my back increasing each day. I stood forward and waited for prayer Tuesday night. Matt prayed for wholeness for me - I've had no pain since. He also prayed for my nasty hot flashes I've had for over 6 years and they are reduced by 90%.

MANY MORE RECEIVED HEALING DURING OUR FOUR DAYS TOGETHER.

WE GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY FOR TOUCHING HIS PEOPLE IN SUCH WONDERFUL WAYS!

After the Jacob Blaze Conference we moved into the City Firestorm 2003 Conference. During this portion of the conference I ministered on The Apostolic Church being released in apostolic power. I also shared on the seven characteristics of the spirit and anointing of Elijah. I?ll share more about that in a later article.

We were also blessed by the ministry of PAUL CAIN, a true general in the faith. Paul shared on the vision God gave him many years ago of stadiums being filled all over this country with masses of people being saved and healed by the power of God. God was moving in such a dynamic way that the news reporters were only reporting good news. Cripples were walking and the dead were being raised by nameless and faceless people. It was truly the last days outpouring found in the book of Joel and the raising up of Joel?s army.

PAUL CAIN ALSO PROPHESIED THAT THIS YEAR WOULD BE A YEAR WHERE GOD WOULD RELEASE GREAT FAITH. Let me encourage you to believe God for BIG things this year.

I?m believing for that national move of God in America! I know that the greatest healing revival we have ever seen is upon us. God?s is pouring out signs, wonders and miracles and the church will once again operate in the level of power God intended her to operate in. We are seeing extraordinary moves of God around the world. This is just the beginning! May God continue to revive and awaken His church with a new fervency for the lost and a new passion for His heart.

If you also received a healing touch at the City Firestorm Conference then we invite you to send in your testimony to TESTIMONIES@MATTSORGER.COM to give God glory for what He has done in your life. Remember we overcome by the blood of the Lamb, by the WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY, and by loving not our lives even unto the death (Rev. 12:11).
