An outreach team in a local neighborhood encountered an elderly gentleman in a motorized wheelchair and asked him why he was in it. They came to understand that he had severe asthma and chronic COPD, a respiratory disease that made it exceptionally difficult for the older gentleman to breathe and therefore, walk. He could walk, but with great difficulty and only a few steps. The team told him of the Kingdom of God and asked if they could please pray for him. He said yes.
As they prayed, an unusual anointing came on the man and he reported that he felt what could be described as a “swirling” over his head and he felt “all light” like power was flowing through his body. That day, he didn’t try anything new, but over the next couple weeks, as they entered the neighborhood, the teams were greeted by this man telling them of all the new things that he could do as a result of his progressive healing. Now, he doesn’t need the chair at all and the team bought him a rocking chair instead of his motorized wheelchair! His promise is to give it up to be hung on our church wall as a token of God’s healing power!
