Signs And Wonders In California

SIGNS AND WONDERS IN CALIFORNIA
Matt Sorger Ministries
We began our CA tour at Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, CA with Pastors Che Ahn and Lou Engle of The Call. What a powerful time in the Spirit we had. Arriving in CA that afternoon I stepped off the plane and into the service that night. While on the plane the Lord spoke to me about a "Mary Ann" which turned out to be "Mary Ahn", Che's daughter. We released a prophetic word for her concerning her prophetic ministry call.
A wave of healing swept through the congregation with many receiving a miracle touch from the Lord. Here are a few of the testimonies:
"I suffered from lower and mid back pain due to a back sprain and nerve damage. I've had physical therapy 1-5 days a week for three months. While I was in the service during the preaching I felt the Holy Spirit almost constantly and it felt like the Lord put a cloak around my neck, like a cape down my back. Praise Jesus! Before that I felt what seemed to be like an angel standing behind me. You said the Lord was healing backs. I felt the heat on my back and fell to my knees in tears." Stacey received a tremendous healing in her back and could move freely with no more pain. Stacey, CA
John received both a physical and emotional healing. "I've suffered from heart valve pain and cramps in my stomach. I felt the heaviness of God's presence and cleansing." John, CA
"I had allergies and could not sleep laying down and had breathing difficulty. The doctor had prescribed an inhaler. After the prayer ministry at Harvest Rock Church, I could take deep breaths without coughing. The heavy congestion cleared up." John, CA
"For 20 years I've suffered from Rosacea, a severe skin disorder causing redness, rashes and dryness of the skin. I had sensitivities to water, chemicals and was allergic to cosmetics. It did not respond to treatment. It is incurable and no dermatologist could help me. When Matt told us to lay hands on our bodies where we needed healing I touched my face. Suddenly I started coughing as if I were about to vomit. After that I felt lighter in my chest area and empty in my stomach. I testified to give glory to God for setting me free!" Karen, CA
After ministering to the sick we layed hands on the entire congregation for the impartation of the healing anointing. Many received a deep impartation for miracles, signs and wonders.
SPONTATNEOUS YOUTH PRAYER MEETINGS
I sent out a previous report on our ministry in Lake Isabella, CA. I received a phone call from the pastor that the youth were so powerfully touched while we were there that since then they have been calling spontaneous prayer meetings and crying out to God for more of His Spirit! God is on the move!
Continuing our ministry time in California we had two glorious nights in Barstow at Living Waters Fellowship.
I WAS TAKEN DEEP INTO THE HEART OF THE LORD
There is nothing like God's presence! That is what I live for. As we worshipped together I was taken so deep in the Spirit that I could hardly open my mouth to speak when it came time for me to minister. The Lord had taken me in the Spirit into His very heart. As I went deeper and deeper and deeper I became completely unaware of my earthly surroundings. All I could see was the depths of His heart. Then I became aware that I was under the train of His robe as seen in Isa. 6:1 where the train of the Lord's robe filled the temple. God was romancing His bride in holy intimacy. From that place of His presence He began to heal people in the congregation. I saw the Lord healing a condition in the leg. As I called it out healing was released and the pastor's leg was instantly healed!
I ministered prophetically from Isa. 52 on the evangelistic anointing to proclaim the gospel of good news with the power of signs and wonders and on the watchman anointing for prayer and intercession. Many received a powerful impartation of the Spirit that night to begin to operate in a higher dimension of the miraculous with an increase of prophetic dreams and visions.
HEALING GLORY
The second night brought an even greater release of the healing anointing with many testifying of healing in their bodies. Here are some of those testimonies:
A young boy testified "I had been having chest pains. I was given a prescription but nothing seemed to get better. I felt an angel touch the top of my head and then had a release in my chest and I could breath! Thank you Jesus!!!" Immanuel, CA
Another young girl testified of healing in her eyes. "I had to wear glasses. Before I had to hold the paper close to my face to read it but now I can read it farther away and I don't have a headache." Tiffany, CA
Another woman received two healing in her body. "I suffered from tenitus in my elbow. I was on pain medication but it was still painful every day. The lump on my left elbow was miraculously healed. The lump left and I can move my elbow again. I also received a healing in my abdomen. I had suffered from cancer and had my uterus removed. My bladder had also been cut on top. Tonight I received total healing. I felt fire in my stomach area." Lupe, CA
"I had a lump under my eyelid and a cyst in my wrist. I was supposed to have surgery to remove the cyst, but I believed Jesus would heal me. I felt electricity in my hands and body. Both the lump under my eyelid and the cyst is gone!" Lena, CA
There were many more touched, filled, empowered and healed by the Lord.
STRONG MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SUPERNATURAL
Our trip was concluded at Fremont Assembly of God in Fremont, CA. On Thursday I ministered to the School of Ministry and then Friday and Sunday nights we held miracle services. Friday night was a powerful night. I ministered on the Forerunner Anointing of John the Baptist and Elijah. The Lord released a forerunner anointing on His people. Sunday night's service continued to climb in the Spirit. There was a real release of angelic activity in the service. I could see the realm of the supernatural moving around people. As I called it out many would be moved upon by the Lord. We even had an entire section fall under the weight of His glory at the same time.
A VISITATION FROM THE LORD IN THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB
That afternoon in my hotel room I received a powerful visitation from the Lord and was taken to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I saw the Bride of Christ being wed to the Bridegroom. It was such a celebration. I could see multitudes from every nation there. The Lord spoke to me about His desire for our love, adoration and worship. He brought me back personally to the place of my first love where I would spend hours a day worshipping Him in His presence. He told me my first calling was to be a worshipper. It wasn't about the crowds, the miracles or even the ministry. It was about loving Him and serving Him out of that place of my first love. I could feel the fire of that love and passion being infused into my heart. That night I shared on ministering out of first love and expounded on the lives of Saul and David and what it was that set David apart unto the Lord. He had a heart of radical worship, love and humility and always made the presence of God His first priority even as king (2 Sam. 5:12-23). We are called to do the same no matter what our ministry positions or titles are. After I ministered the word the Lord released a tremendous wave of the Spirit over the people and we ended the night praying for the sick. I look forward to our future ministry in California.
WE THANK GOD FOR HIS HEALING PRESENCE!
