REVIVAL UPDATE from Stromsberg, Nebraska

by Jay West

Just a brief report of our ministry weekend in Stromsberg Nebraska - at the conclusion of the message which was on the subject of rest and trust - I asked people to come forward who had pain anywhere in their bodies - the first man up had already had about seven surgeries in his knee and stated that he always had pain and that as a result of the surgeries, he has no cartilage at all - well, after praying for a short time, specifically just speaking healing words over his knee - he stated that the pain was leaving and then a few minutes later he said he had no pain at all - not standing, kneeling, or walking - no pain - Praise the Lord - that was just the first of several amazing healings this morning - this type of healing has been happening with more and more frequency (almost every week) since about July of this year - I am thrilled to be a small part of this and to see God working in so many people's lives - by the way, I checked with that man again at the conclusion of the service and he said there still was no pain at all.

Later in the service I had prayed for a number of people who were gently resting on the floor in the presence of the Lord and I asked Jason - my son - if he would like me to pray for him- he said yes, but I could not get to him, so I just snapped my fingers, and asked God to minister to him - and he fell out in the Spirit - I then quickly told the people that Jason and I did not rehearse this, as I have learned a long time ago not to play with the anointing - then there was a 12 year old girl who was visiting with her family at the church - they had driven 70 miles to come to church this morning and they usually attended a Lutheran church - I found out all of this later - anyway, I asked her if it would be okay if I prayed for her too - she said yes, and I did exactly as I had with Jason - and she fell out in the Spirit too - she later told me and her parents confirmed this that this had never happened to her before - I asked her what she felt, and she said it was like a very heavy feeling and that she just could not stand - this was so amazing to me because of her age, and because it has never happened to her before - and in both cases I was a at least 15 feet away from them.

Some of you may be wondering why I snapped my fingers and all I can tell you is that God instructed me to do that - later I prayed for several others and held their hands or just spoke again and they would fall to the floor - I do not like hype and shy away from doing anything real demonstrative, but I also try to do what God tells me - I have not snapped my fingers like that in over seven years when I did it once in Columbus, Ohio - I try not to follow a method and not to draw attention to myself, but the Lord is stretching me more and more as I minister - which was also one of the prayer's of my pastor several weeks ago at a special anointing service at our church where he prayed over me that God would take me to new levels and stretch me - well, that has certainly been happening with so many testimonies - but please trust me when I say, I do not play with the anointing - my goal whether in teaching or ministering is to impact lives and impart truth and see lasting fruit come in their lives....I place a high value on that in my ministry.

The Word of knowledge was very strong too as the Lord would tell me very accurately about certain people and their healings that they needed, or the ministry they were involved in or the circumstances that were happening in their lives - The Word of knowledge has been flowing very strong now for just over a year, but even stronger in the past three months. I could go and on about all sorts of things that have been happening especially in the areas of healings and words of knowledge - but trust me much is happening -

Afterwards we had dinner with several of the members and they assured me that they would be inviting me to return and if that happens, then that would be church number 18 that I go to on a repeated basis - God is really blessing the ministry - I told God in the beginning that I wanted to build relationships and go to a few churches repeatedly rather then a lot of churches for just one time.

And so when I ask for prayers from all of you, I know that many of you are indeed praying and it is such a blessing to represent you in this way and in this ministry. Please pray for me as I go to a World Wide Church of God next Saturday in Des Moines and then on Sunday at an Open Bible Church - and then please pray for speaking engagements to open up for the balance of November and December and January where there are open dates - God has already blessed some in the love offering I gave away two weeks ago in that the church today gave double what they said they intended to do - I know more is coming as the Lord will honor His word too -

Thanks again - please let me know how I can pray for you too - You are all very important to me and to this ministry. As a reminder, you can always check my itinerary by using the link below
