Global Awakening Report #1 From Madrid Spain
May 28, 2004
All of a sudden, my fingers had feeling in them!
he said all the lumps were gone!
The Global Awakening team of 47 just finished our ministry in Madrid, Spain. There we joined with Iglesia Betel in three days of meetings that resulted in dozens of salvations and many more healings and impartations. (Specific results below). Begun 19 years ago as a home fellowship, Betel has grown into a worldwide ministry of rehabilitation and hope to drug addicts and others seeking new life in Jesus. One of the highlights of the meetings was a man who walked into the meeting with the help of a cane and left that cane behind when Jesus touched him in the service. Another man named Mario gave a powerful testimony of God's healing grace. Suffering from cancer of the spleen, HIV, and a painful problem in his hands, Mario began by saying he didn't deserve the healing the Lord gave him. He said he had pain in his fingers from a condition in which the tendons grow together. He had lost feeling in both hands and required surgery. He took chemotherapy once a month for the tumor in his spleen. When a word of knowledge was called out about his condition, he raised his hand toward Heaven. He said he wanted to go forward for prayer, but he felt glued to his chair. He watched helplessly as others responded and were touched. Then, he said, he felt a hand touching my life. "All of a sudden, my fingers had feeling in them. One of the team members came and prayed for him, as did Randy. "I knew something else was going to happen," he said. He said he knew he didn't deserve this healing, because of unforgiveness in his life. As Randy prayed for him, Mario said he suddenly felt a powerful pain in his spleen, with burning inside. Randy told him that was OK, that "the fire is good." But Mario wanted more. "I missing pardon in my life," he said, and God answered his prayer. Immediately, he said, "I felt something special," something he had never felt before and something he did not understand. He shared his testimony from the pulpit Sunday morning, rejoicing by faith in what God had done for him. Others also shared, including a Brazilian woman, Elisa, who sang a song to God and the audience in thanks for healing a wrist injury the night before. "He's a powerful God,"she said. "He's a God of miracles and if we have faith and we believe, He can do many things."
Two women traveling from Amsterdam to Portugal has a heavenly encounter! They put it this way;
While making our plans to go to Portugal, we heard of Betel in Madrid. As our church is planting a church in the red light district of Amsterdam, we know that many drug addicts, prostitutes, etc. will be coming to the Lord. We asked Betel if we could visit on our way to Portugal, so that we could see how they do things there. As we arrived on Friday, Randy Clark;s ministry team had also just arrived and received instructions. We were asked to join in their tour around the building and were invited for lunch. As all of Madrid was booked full for the royal wedding, it was a miracle to get a room in the same hotel for the night as the team! After the Friday afternoon prayer, we felt that this was a Divinely appointed time for us, so we decided to stay until Monday instead of leaving on Saturday. We were sooo encouraged by the stories, testimonies, healings, etc. We had asked God for Divine Appointments to minister to people, but instead God made an appointment for us to be ministered to. Adind's shoulder was healed! She had not been able to lay on it or touch it for months. And we both feel that God touched us and refreshed us and that we have received an impartation. We can;t wait to try it out!! Praise be to God! Thank you for all your willingness to serve and be used by the Lord.
Here are more exciting things God has done in the first three days in Spain:

Since November, a woman suffered from a strong pain in the right side of her neck and felt a lump growing in that area. She first went to a dentist who told her it might be a problem with a tooth. She had a molar removed but the problem remained. She went to a doctor who told her there was nothing that could be done for her. The pain would shoot into her shoulder at times and she found she had to hold her head cocked in a certain position in order to limit the pain. She had trouble sleeping.
During the meeting, I called out a word about a woman with pain in the neck. The woman said she began to feel healing come on her when Randy Clark was speaking about how his grandmother had been healed of a growth on her neck. Then, I prayed with her. The woman had previous occult activity, which she had repented of, but I felt that a curse had been placed on her, so they prayed to break that curse in the name of Jesus. The woman said that she felt something move inside her ear and that when I hugged her, she felt better. She could easily move her neck from side to side without pain, she held her head straight without pain, and was even carrying her purse on her shoulder, something she could not do before. She said she felt 100 percent better and very relaxed. The next day, she said the pain and lump were gone!

During the words of knowledge portion of the Saturday night meeting, a man with a separation in his arm and shoulder began to feel the presence of the Lord. He said he had injured his shoulder 10 years ago in a park basketball game. While defending a position, he was forced into an awkward movement that resulted in the injury. He had a gap between his shoulder and his arm and could not move his left arm. Doctors said only surgery could repair it, and he was afraid of surgery. Nor could he afford it. After prayer, he could rotate and raise his arms freely. He left rejoicing!

Bonesia, a young woman from Bolivia, came up asking for prayer for healing. She had an unknown allergy that affected her eyes, noise, sinus, and throat with pain and irritation for about nine months. I took authority over the allergy and whatever caused it, telling it to leave in the name of Jesus. We asked for total relief from the pain. Within two minutes of starting to pray for her, she looked up with a large smile and said the pain was gone. Thank you Jesus!

My wife Suzi and I were praying for a woman who had pain in her shoulders, head, and vertebrae for a long time. We weren't seeing any results and the Lord explained that the problem was with witchcraft. I asked her if she had been involved in witchcraft or if there was witchcraft in her family. She said that her mother was a witch and had put curses and spells on her when she became a Christian. I had her break the curses of witchcraft, black and white magic, Santeria, and any spells placed on her. I started to cast out the demons and she immediately manifested by thrashing about and wildly waving her hands and arms and screaming uncontrollably. I calmed her down and I was going to take her to another room to deal with more of the root causes. I usually take two hours to deal with unforgivness, unconfessed sin, renouncing the occult, breaking of curses, etc. However, a former pastor of the church, who was now a pastor in northern Spain, stopped the deliverance and did not want us to continue. I left the morning session grieving, because I believed that the woman needed a lot more ministry. During the evening meeting, I saw the woman again and she gave me a large bottle of olive oil as a gift. She seemed joyful, but I did not have an interpreter to ask her how she was. She came forward during the time of ministry, and she was slain in the Spirit when I prayed for her. She lay there 20 minutes with a big grin on her face. We got an interpreter, and she told him that she was set free. She felt great. All the pain in her head, shoulders, and vertebrae was gone. She kept saying: "Total." She said, "I'll remember you all of my life." I said to the Lord that I believed she needed more deliverance. The Lord reminded me that I had been crying out to Him to have deliverances go more quickly and be more thorough. He said that the impartation that Randy Clark gave, released a stronger deliverance anointing and that many deliverances will no go more quickly. The woman told us that she felt electricity in her hands and that she believed the Lord will use her in healing.

Peter Mattis and I and several others prayed with a man named Alberto. He had been healed Friday night of a shoulder problem and on Saturday night of a stomach problem. At the Sunday meeting, he was seeking healing for HIV and lumps that had sprung up all over his body. He took my hand and put it on his chest to feel a lump that was about the size of a silver dollar, raised up about a third of an inch, and very hard. He was slain in the Spirit and I prayed with him on the floor for 45 minutes to an hour. As I prayed, I felt the lump on his chest go away. Afterwards, he said all the lumps were gone! He had a vision of Jesus coming and touching his feet. This sent heat flowing upward through his body. I remember a female team member coming by and praying for him while holding his feet. Peter prayed with him and he appeared to be convulsing, holding his head of the floor for long periods of time as he shook profusely. He was born in Russia and was a drug addict, and came to Betel's rehabilitation program. He was saved and filled with the Spirit. I'd say he got blasted! Statistics up to this point:
Emotional Healings 74
Salvations 72
Physical Healings 186
It's on to Manchester, England for 4 more days of ministry,then to Zurich for the "Supernatural" conference!
