Healing

So the mystery of the noisy cows has been solved. The cows are preggers and the babies kick them from the inside, so they moo.

The stars are still beautiful. The weather is still freezing. The heater in the bathroom is still the greatest thing ever. I am still coming down with a cold. But I think I am different.

I came here knowing that I needed spiritual and physical healing. God told me that it would be my spirit first, and then my body would heal after. (Mark 2: 1-12). I have been waiting and waiting. Ever since I have been here, I have constantly been asking God for healing, and others have been praying healing over me. But things didn't really start to happen until today.

This whole week, I have been getting really nauseous during worship and prayer times. Carly told me that that sometimes happens when you need deliverance from evil spirits. Yesterday, I had the revelation of Jesus' love and I was overcome with tears and I felt SO SICK. Today during worship I had the same feeling. Carly came to pray for me and my stomach got all cramped up, and her hand was burning and shaking. She could feel something fighting against the prayers.

Tonight, we went to T-HOP. No, not IHOP, T-HOP. Tauranga House of Prayer. Josh Cole started this place and they were having prayer and worship tonight, so us Matamata folks went to visit. I was feeling so sick for the whole time. At the end, Josh asked for people who need healing to stand up, and people would pray for healing. So I stood up. All of my YWAM friends placed their hands on me and started to rebuke the evil and prayed for healing. My stomach got all cramped again. Then suddenly everyone started praying for God's joy to enter me. My stomach stopped cramping, there was a release and air rushed into my lungs. And I felt happy. It was so beautiful and powerful having all of my friends (who are now basically family) around me praying for me and loving me. It was so exciting.

But now I am so exhausted. Praying so much can really take it out of a person.

Bed, here I come!!!! I am so ready for my sleep-in tomorrow morning!
