Here are a few testimonies of God moving through the fresh touch we are experiencing here at IHOP. What is great is there are so many that are watching the webstream and being healed physically and emotionally all over the earth. I encourage you to contend for Jesus to reveal himself to you in new and profound ways in this season.
Lifetime of Depression Lifted
I was writing in my journal in preparation for the broadcast of the awakening service. I was asking God for deliverance in specific areas: depression, self-hatred, despair, worthlessness, etc. During worship a testimony was given about depression. I had sent a message to my pastor on Facebook that I wanted to be baptized, so he and his wife came over and baptized me in the hot tub. A joy now fills my heart instead of sadness and a lifetime of depression. Deep places in me are healing: from verbal and sexual abuse from my childhood, and pain and abandonment from my parents now getting divorced after 30 years of marriage. Even as I sit alone, I feel a peace and a joy instead of deep sorrow and depression. Praise God!
Acceptance into the Bride of Christ
I have been watching your awakening services and before that your ministry’s onething conference. I have to say that I never realized that I didn’t consider myself part of the Bride of Christ. I have never felt His love to the extent I now do. Thank you for teaching the truth of the Word about how God sees us. He used you to show me how He views me. I always thought of myself as a servant and not a daughter. You presented His love in a way I finally connected with and God has been touching my heart ever since. God has delivered me from the lies about my identity, from lustful thoughts and rejection, and I finally feel His healing and forgiveness. Thank you for all you do.
Physical Healing: Lactose Intolerance and Ears
I praise God for the amazing revival He is pouring out! As I began to watch the awakening services, I was reminded that dealing with issues with digesting lactose was not my inheritance and began to believe the truth that my inheritance was healing. I began contending for my healing and then at a prayer service at my church I asked my pastor and a few friends to pray in agreement for this particular healing. I just knew that I was healed and for the past two weeks I have had no issues whatsoever. Another time that I tuned into the webstream, they were praying for ears. That week I had started losing hearing in my ears—a muffling—because of an ear infection. Throughout the night I just knew that I wasn’t going to be forgotten in this. The next morning I woke up and my ears were perfect. God has been challenging me to believe it when He says He wants to heal me. I’ve always known that He can, but He wants to and I am walking in my inheritance. Thank you, Jesus!
Insomnia Gone, 1/24/10
At onething’09 Wes Hall began praying for healing for people who have trouble sleeping. I have always had a problem sleeping. It would take me hours to fall asleep each night. I’d lay in bed for at least two to three hours before I could actually fall asleep. On bad nights I would cry, because I had been lying in bed for over five hours, just wanting to sleep. When Wes called out healing for this, my roommate came and prayed over me. The rest of the week I slept like a baby, but I was hesitant to fill out a testimony card while at onething’09, because I wanted to make sure my sleep wasn’t just because of exhaustion from the conference. It has been almost a whole month and I am still sleeping like a baby. It hasn’t taken me more than twenty minutes to fall asleep. I cannot explain to you just how much this healing has impacted me. God is good.
Deliverance from Addictions to Pornography and Marijuana, 1/30/10
I have been touched by the power of His love. I stayed up all night watching the awakening testimony archives. I have been set free from years of homosexual pornography and an addiction to marijuana. Since I got back to college about a month and a half ago, I have been testifying to as many people as I can; something I could not do before because of shame. I now know that it is God’s goodness and love that leads us to repentance, because we cannot do it by ourselves. I am so grateful to know that God delights in me and He is well pleased with me, His son. Every day that goes by, I feel condemnation lifting more and more, and I don’t feel less than other men; I don’t feel ashamed. Thank You, Jesus!
Physical Healing: Chronic Migraines
I was visiting IHOP–KC when the awakening started. When I got there, there were many words of knowledge called out. Among those were migraine headaches. I immediately claimed my healing. Another word called out was chronic pain. I immediately claimed that. I did not feel anything physical at the time. However, the very next day for the first time since I can even remember, when I woke up I had NO PAIN IN MY BODY! I have suffered horribly from migraine headaches for about 40 years (since the age of 12) almost every single day. These headaches were debilitating and accompanied by chronic muscular pain in my neck and upper back with very limited range of motion. It has been almost two weeks since I received healing and I’m still walking in complete freedom from pain. Thank you Jesus! Thank you IHOP–KC for allowing the Holy Spirit to minister so freely, as a result I have been delivered from lifelong pain and suffering.
Various Healings (Amarillo, TX)
We’ve been watching via webstream at the House of Prayer in Amarillo, Texas. We’ve had a guy who had hearing loss get healed. An older woman with severe asthma got healed and she was running around our prayer room! Young people have gotten delivered from shame, rejection, fear, worry, stress and depression. Tonight after a young lady had been praying for voices and mentioned stuttering . . . well one of our intercessory missionaries had a bad stuttering problem and he is delivered!
Physical and Emotional Healing
I have struggled with my identity as a woman due to sexual abuse as a child–I have suffered from eating disorders and lack of a menstrual cycle for nine years as a result. The Lord has been healing me and my cycle started again last month. Tonight a lie was broken when a lady shared her testimony: God showed me I am worth having children, that I believed I was sick because I would be a bad mother, but that is not true! He is restoring my identity as a beautiful woman of God. Praise the Lord! Bless you all. Let His healing love flow throughout the nations.
Thanks for your blog message of various testimonies of healings. I have forwarded to some friends of mine who struggle with health problems, especially one with life-defining illness. It is very encouraging to hear how God uses these testimonies to give hope (and healing?) to people.
