Two recent testimonies

Haven't blogged for a while but thought I would post these two testimony emails minus personal details..

Testimony 1:

Dear Christen

I attended both meetings at the Bridport Christian Fellowship this past week-end.
I have only been to that church about 3 times over the past year.

I need to let you know that my lower back has been healed!

I had surgery almost 12 years ago after being told I had a slipped disk (L5 vertebra) during my final pregnancy. I’ve had pain injections and all sorts over the years.
and been in a lot of discomfort and it was getting particularly bad recently.
In fact, on Saturday afternoon, before your meeting, I was sitting on a carpet with my legs straight out in front of me giving my old 84 year old mum in-law a pedicure and I could barely get up off the floor afterwards. I had to manoeuvre myself very slowly sideways onto my knees and very carefully straighten myself - it was very painful.
After you prayed for me on Saturday night – my lower back felt lovely and warm and as the evening wore on (once I got home) I realized very excitedly that my lower back felt so ‘loose’ - not seized up anymore. Previously I couldn’t even sit on our lounge suite without really struggling to stand up again.
That night in bed I was able to turn over with NO discomfort at all. The feeling of freedom is SO wonderful.
I should have put my hand up at the Sunday morning meeting to testify – I’m very sorry I didn’t as it builds faith to hear of healing.

A couple more days have passed and it still feels great.

I am thanking God so much for intervening in my life in this way and I thank you for coming to Bridport and facilitating such a difference in my life.

Kindest regards

Testimony 2:

Hi Chris,

You had a picture for me last week at the Che Ahn conference of a three legged race and you prayed for synchronisity.  My husband **** had spent a couple of days in an oppressive cycle of negative and angry thoughts and he felt the oppression lift about the time you were praying....

thanks for you responsiveness to the Holy Spirit.

The day really encouraged me

So thank you Jesus

Looking for more in 2010

So into the new year now... I've mentioned a few times in this blog that I seem to have a good record in prayer for back and joint issues... so in 2010 I want to see a breakthrough in other areas... I've seen occasional eye and ear issues healed and am looking to see these become as regular as backs and joints are now.

I mentioned this desire this morning as I spoke at River Church, Maidenhead and Belinda D came up at the end and said her back had been healed in 2005, she had meant to tell me before but had forgotten...

It was on a Sunday PM worship night John Sandeman had mentioned something that caused Belinda to respond... apparently I prayed something simple and because she had no pain at the time said she should go and the healing would come over time... her condition had been described by her Physio as incurable and caused by a "loose" disk that caused her back to lock up, (it had happened once in a supermarket) and also caused sever pain when jarred or bumped...

Anyway today she told me that since that prayer she has had know pain or locking.

If you love Jesus, you can pray for the sick and expect things to happen, however I have noticed that while you can plunder the promised land at anytime, the father is more interested in us inhabiting it... for me I see this in the areas of supernatural Christian life that I seem to have a fixed authority in ... things like praying in tongues, prophesying over people and praying for backs and joints... these are the promises I am living in... then there are the miracles that I've seen but are less regular... the things I plunder from time to time... my desire is to keep growing into my inheritance in Jesus ... to inhabit more and more of the spiritual life he has won for me.

Announcing three Healing Explosion meetings for 2010

Have been quiet on my blog this last week... it has been very busy getting ready for Christmas...

Spent yesterday afternoon with about 50 from Maidenhead Congregation of River Church, 35+ of them dressed as Santa .. giving out balloons and hot chocolate as well as "Y Christmas" ... it was a very happy time. Dave J gave a word of knowledge to a Hari Krishna who was giving out books on the same High Street, it opened an opportunity to pray for him...


Anyway... wanted to announce ASAP three healing meeting for Feb 2010, with Che Ahn.. I was with Che last month in Seattle and saw some great stuff happen. The meetings will be in Slough, Tottenham and Greenwich on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of Feb... please note dates... more info and publicity in the New Year.

Report from my last week

So back today from a three week trip... covered 4 countries.... most of the trip was about my own developments but with bits of ministry along the way... in the last 3 weeks there where 4 people healed and various words of knowledge and prophetic words.

This last Saturday was particularly fun... just a small group, but all the prophetic words seemed to hit the mark..  here is an extract from a text sent to the hosts Stephen and Mara... names etc hidden..

"Thank you so much for your love today... To experience the wisdom and accuracy of Christen's word for me today has been confirmation that I can no longer deny God's path I am destined to follow. I can no longer hide behind the barbs and defenses...."

In addition I gave a word of knowledge for shoulder pain, two people responded ... in both cases the pain left there and then, in one case the condition was a serious long term issue that would need to be verified ...

I love seeing Jesus change people, whether in body, soul or spirit... it's all good

Faith stretching in Australia or "Stephen tries to kill me!"

OK see the photo's below.. I was claiming verses like 2 Sam 22:4 - "He makes my feet like a hinds feet and sets me on high places"....

... and rejecting ones like 2 Sam 1:19 " Your glory Israel is slain on high places... how the mighty have fallen"

Any other verse suggestions happily received...

Report from last night

Last night Che Ahn spoke here in Bothell, near Seattle... It was the most powerful healing meeting I have been in since Lakeland, although I can't tell you too many testimonies as I was praying for people in it all. But one that stood out was for a Korean lady who was healed of either breast or thyroid, (sorry I was only half listening as I prayed for people) But she had fealt something and the swellings had now shrunk and gone.. Che prayed for her again and she was bouncing off the floor in the Spirit.

I prayed for people with other cancers, an older man with lung cancer, but can't say what happened or not and a couple where the wife had breast cancer.. I had  a word about an attack on her womanhood and the need to release the person who had, her husband said "that's your Mom!", I said it had fealt like a woman who had been the person, but she wasn't so sure as she had tried releasing her mum a year before.. but as she talked it was obvious there was a very controlling situation from her mother, she said herself that she probably had all sorts of soul ties with her mother. We prayed to cut these off and commanded the cancer to leave... there was no obvious sign ... but the couple have my email to update me...

Then I prayed for husband who had a degenerative eye condition, I asked about other cases in his family and his mother had had it ... as I prayed I found myself praying to cut off the effects of incest in the family line... the husband agreed and told me after that this was definitely in the parents generation and probably further back than that... His eyes did not immediately improve...

For both I recommended they found somewhere to more comprehensively clear out the effects of their pasts..

This morning I had the opportunity to pray for another man with back issues from a car accident and foot issues from a hunting accident. Again he couldn't test there and then as both came and went in different situations, but I had felt the Spirit as I prayed so I will update on all of these cases as and when I hear back from people.

Fused vertabrae and more healed

Well I haven't updated for a while as I've been very busy getting input at TACF from their Restoring the Foundations Ministry.. Hopefully everyone that knows me will find I'm a far better person for it on my return...

I'm in Seattle at the moment, and am doing a bit of output at the moment... praying for impartation for people this morning with Che Ahn and this evening praying for a guy with multiple ailments.

Bill Johnson spoke and then released us to body ministry. The guy I talked to was called Bill, he was originally from Moldova. When I asked what was wrong he had a list of things migraines, pain in his wrist from a break a few weeks ago, back pain and varicose vein pain... after the first bought of prayer he had an improvement in the wrist and in the vein pain, but it was disappointing that when Bill asked at this stage from the front who had recieved a healing it didn't feel good enough for him to wave.

So we prayed again... this time I laid hands on his back, but it was not in the place where the pain was so he showed me and I prayed again, no change, so I bound any spirit of infirmity and released healing again. I asked him to test it for the third time and this time he was visibly surprised as there was no pain. Then we prayed again for his arm and almost all the pain went, we prayed again and he was then shaking it hard saying "I couldn't do this earlier it is healed".

Then Bill asked, by word of knowledge, if anyone had been healed from fused discs, Bill responded enthusiastically and said he had the x-rays to prove it but now he was moving freely... and his arm was healed and no pain in his legs...

Can't say what happened re the migraines as he didn't have one to test... but he kept coming and thanking me during the rest of the ministry... which is always nice even though I am not able to heal people at all, the presence of Jesus was there in the room all we did together was grab hold of it for his healing.

An email update to the blog...

I love stories from my buddy Myles... This one is of the supernatural return of lost property... you have to work hard on Myles' unique Maidenhead street patois ... also before you are offended by Myles' comment about a "cheeky Indian" please note Myles is of Indian extraction too..  so here's the story in Myles own inimitable style...

Dope story, ill be as brief as possible without loosing the gnarleyness of how gnarley God is.

So i called one of Becs friends yesterday to see if she wanted to meet me at a market i was gonna go to - this was the first time i will have met or spoke to her and on the phone she told me she wasnt really up for going anywhere as she has lost her bag or rather she had her front door open and she thinks some cheeky indian came in an nicked it. Maybe the rubbish dude. Sucks hey.

So i was like hey that sucks ..... and shared a few stories with her about stuff id heard from bethel, like "I want my keys" and "I want my breifcase" ask someone if you dont know about these. Then i just took authority over her bag and claimed that everything was made in the Glory, so everything can go in and out of the Glory realm so i asked if God would disolve it into the Glory from wherever it was and 'pop' it back into reality. Like take it into the spirutal realm and then transport it and bring it back, i dunno what i prayed really but thats what i was thinking anyway.

So she calls me like 6 hours later and tells me that after we spoke she looked for her bag for like 2 hours with her house mate. Tis a big bag, i saw it today and her flat is small with not much stuff. She went into her room and put her computer on her bed and started listening to a sermon she lay down on her bed and basically when the talk had finished she lay and hung out with god for a bit and fell asleep, woke up. Bear in mind no one is in her house now and the front door is definatly locked since she is now parra about being robbed, she closed her laptop so it was flat and behind her laptop was her bag - just chillin there. It poped back. Pretty jokes huh? Daddy reallys cares about the little things.



Jokes!

Testimonys From two missions trips

This morning at River Church Maidenhead we had reports back from two missions trip... Lesotho and Nepal... Lesotho was a report full of the impact of Jesus on the lives that went... stretching themselves in preaching, praying for the sick etc.

The Nepal trip had a smaller team you can see pictures at http://www.riverchurch.org.uk/Articles/170646/River_Church/Church_life/Mission/Places/Nepal/Photos_from_Nepal.aspx . There where over 50 confirmed healing at one single event.. including the healing of a child that had been in a comma for several days reviving after being prayed for.

Thank you Matt and James for all you work on the Lesotho trip. And to Colin, Rob, Peter, Alison, Emma and Mary who treked into the Himalayas with the love of Jesus.

Great testimony of God's provision

Just heard a nice story this morning...

I'll include text from the email, but amended to take out personal details...

So the story starts..

"I heard you speak on finance a little while ago and it changed my thinking, I gave the cash I had with me on the day and when the time came to make my bank transfer, still overdrawn I really felt that it was something that I should do anyway, not with the expectation that if I gave I'd get anything back, but actually just because I wanted to .....  have to tell you that since then both of our cars have broken and we reached the point 2 weeks ago where we were talking about remortgaging the house !"

But finishes with the early release of thousands of pounds from an inheritance and the discovery that there was more than 3 times as much to come to them than they had known about ... so despite the early release of some funds there is still more left than they had originally thought was their in total...

What I most enjoyed in the story though was the description of how the individual concerned had recognised how they made their financial decisions based on fear and had deliberately chosen to live differently...

I thought I would include a link to the talk she mentions, (paste ..
http://riverresources.uk.endis.com/Publisher/Article.aspx?ID=164434 into your browser...),

because I think it's an important one... people often fall into one of two categories... either they become religious in their approach to money or they operate out of fear... as I've learnt to operate in faith with regards to finance I have found an increase in my spiritual authority... so if you've not heard this talk I would recommend you do..
