SO WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

At the most recent conference for house church leaders (held in a secret location in the Middle East), I finally sat down with some of our Healing Prayer trainees and asked them to record what is happening in Iran through their ministry.  The stories were, frankly, overwhelming.  I cried more than once as I heard the translations.

I am working on having someone translate each of these - doing a "voice-over" the original farsi.  Here's a taste, though.  Be blessed!

From N. in Iran – one of our prayer team

Since I met Baba Mike and he prayed with me, I have been healed from the wounds of my heart – the bad feelings of rejection and worthlessness.  I didn’t know the root of where these bad feelings came from.  I didn’t know why they existed in me.  Baba Mike helped me learn how to deal with these feelings.

When I’m in Iran, all the church members are wounded and hurt from many things.  Many are demonized.  God helps me to understand them and the problems they are struggling with.  God wants them to be healed and I am able to pray over them with the gift of healing prayer.  I thank God that He uses me for His glory and I hope that I can do more.

One day in church one of the ladies was so sad.  I went to her and started to talk to her.  That lady started to talk about her husband who had a big problem.  They have been fighting for awhile.  I asked her if she wanted me to pray.  She accepted.

God started working in her heart.  She saw the pride and selfishness and anger in her own life.  These caused problems in her life and especially with her husband.  God worked in her life and she was healed.  At first she didn’t believe that something really happened to her and that she was really healed.  But after a little while, when I saw her again, she told me that the relationship between her and her husband had been healed.  She said that whenever she and her husband start to fight, she chooses Isa and she can resist those feelings of anger.
