Knee Replacement Cancelled Thanks to God’s Miracle Power
I am currently writing my 5th book and I thought I would share one of the testimonies from chapter one. This book is titled “Fresh Oil,” as it is a great reflection of what God is doing in our church called Kingdom Encounters. We planted this church about 2.5 years ago, and I shared a message early on about the anointing of God from Psalm 92:10 where it says we shall be anointed with fresh oil. So in our culture here, you will rarely hear an Amen of agreement, but instead you will often hear the phrase Fresh Oil when someone likes what is happening at Kingdom Encounters. You can discover more about us at http://www.kingdomencounters.net
Okay – here is the testimony from Chapter One:
On October 19, 2014 which was the first official day of our new church plant called Kingdom Encounters, God did something miraculous that truly demonstrated who He is, and how He will be with us, while showing where we would be going as a church. We have a lady in our church named Sharon. She happens to be the oldest member of church at the age of 76. She was 73 when this miracle happened. She is pictured above.
Sharon was walking with a walker and a cane depending on the severity of her pain and discomfort as was scheduled to have knee replacement surgery just eleven days later. I asked her if I could pray for her, and after a 20 second prayer she stated she felt warmth in her knee. I suggested that she try walking up some small steps, which she was able to do with ease. All week long she tried to get her knee to hurt, even bending it backwards in weird positions and at times jumping up and down, yet she had no pain. About six days later she went into see her doctor for a pre-operation exam and she shared with him that I had prayed with her and that she had no pain all week. After further examination he cancelled the surgery declaring that she was well.
The interesting thing about this is that she was also experiencing shortness of breath and dizziness too and both of these symptoms were also healed, even though we never even prayed for them. All I did was ask for God’s presence to come, spoke and shared some healing declarations and Sharon got well, and now nearly three years later she still has not had the surgery. I have seen her walk up and down flights of stairs with no problems. She even cleans our church building as a volunteer.
This is what having a Fresh Anointing is all about. This is the importance of walking in and with Fresh Oil as we are Anointed 2 GO and do Kingdom stuff that God may call on us to accomplish.
If you want to get to heaven, all you have to do is believe in Jesus, but if you want to be a disciple of Jesus, you must follow Him, and that folks takes risk, but God is faithful and loves to flow through people taking risky steps of faith. Let me say it one more way. If you want to move from Earth to Heaven someday, just simply believe in Jesus, but if you want to move Heaven to Earth today, you must be a follower of Jesus. Fresh Oil!
Kingdom Encounters Expansion
Yes it has been way too long since my last blog post – but life has dramatically changed from traveling full time to being a church planter, and with that has come many wonderful local opportunities to bless, encourage, edify, inspire, challenge, equip, empower and release others to participate in Kingdom Expansion. So take a look and see what is happening. Continue reading
Look what the Lord is doing! plus a possible church plant !!!
As a ministry practice, I have for many years embraced what God is doing rather than what He is not doing. John 5:19 encourages this where Jesus said that He only did what He saw the Father doing. This rings true now, more Continue reading

Challenging the Fears that Fearfully Challenge Us!
“Challenging the Fears that Fearfully Challenge Us” is actually the title of one of my top selling teaching CD’s along with “Avoiding Pathetic Pathology” and “Waiting on God.”Most people don’t want to be labeled Pathetic, and I know that few Believers enjoy waiting on God, and of course, we all battle fears that fearfully challenge us.
One of my fears use to be going over large bridges. If you want to order my teaching CD to hear the whole story from start to finish, on how God delivered me from this nine year fear, please contact me at anointed2go@cox.net and I can let you know how to secure the CD. But this picture above was taken from the car I was joyfully riding in earlier this year while going over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA.
One of the scriptures in that message is from 2 Corinthians 7:5-6 which reads like this:
“For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had nor rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts and inside were fears. Nevertheless, God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus.”
Let me unpack this just a bit. Paul was saying that at one point their bodies had no rest – in other words, they were dead dog-tired. When I am tired, I normally ache all over. My feet hurt and my back hurts, and my teeth and my hair hurt. Okay, not really, but it seems like that, and if I can just get a power nap – just 15 minutes, I know I will feel great. I recently heard a friend say that his son is from Ineedanappa! I thought it was cool. There are times when we all need a nappa. Even the Apostle Paul.
Not only was Paul tired, but also he was experiencing trouble wherever he looked. All around him was trouble and it was on every side. And on the outside were conflicts and on the inside were fears. This is the great Apostle Paul who has known and seen the power of God working in his life many times, yet he is just being honest. It was a tough season for him.
Right now as I write this, I kind of feel like Paul. I am tired. Not physically tired, but more emotionally tired at battling so much physical pain. Right now, I have pain in ten different parts of my body. And I just hate complaining, so I won’t go there, but I am reporting as a matter of prayer, but also to stress a few points. We need to walk by faith even when we don’t feel like it.
It is so weird for me to pray for so many people around the city, nation and yes the world and to have seen over 7000 people get well of incredible ailments, life threatening diseases and major physical problems and then for healing to take so long to manifest in my personal body. I’ve been healed by God on several occasions, yet each one seemed to take so very long – including IBS which took three years, in which pain was my number one symptom, and I would literally wake myself up crying as the pain was so intense, and then skin cancer which took five years and neck and shoulder pain which took 26 years. Can you believe it? Yet in all three cases, it was God who healed me, not modern day medicine.
Since going to print with my book, it seems like lots of other things are also going wrong. My wife did not find a teaching job yet, and my speaking engagements dropped significantly this month so our income has dropped by 80%. Can you believe it? And in the last few weeks, it seems like more personal conflict has arisen then in the previous several years.
But there is Great NEWS! Did you see that word, “Nevertheless” in the Corinthian passage? The word means, Never Settle for anything less than God. Let me repeat that. Never Settle for anything less than God. So in the midst of physical pain, and lack of income and people getting mad at me, I am changing. I am like the red light that spoke to the green light and said, “Don’t Look, I’m Changing.” I am being transformed. It is a good thing. God is at work in my life.
There is a part of me that does not want you to see what is happening to me, because no one likes to look pathetic. But I have been transparent here and shared some of what is going on, yet I know that God is transforming me. How do I know this? Well, for one thing, I have peace. I know God is in control. I may not see everything He is doing, but I believe He is working behind the scenes on my behalf. That’s called faith. And I am trusting Him to show me what to do next, and how to respond to my current situation. I refuse to settle for anything less than God.
As I often say, Trust is a Must.
I frequently tell people if they are going through hell, don’t stop. Don’t get a motel or a condo there, but keep on going, because it is not what we are going through that matters or counts, but it is what we are going to that matters. I am not minimizing our situation or yours, but the reality is what we are experiencing is setting us up for the next adventure with God. This is preparation time. This is a season of getting ready. We go through things because we are going to something. The steps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord.
There was a line in the movie “Facing the Giants” that I especially like. The coach was challenging the team that if we win, we will praise the Lord and if we lose, we will praise the Lord. So regardless of what I am experiencing, I choose this day to praise the Lord, and never to settle for anything less then God. I encourage you to do the same!
Nevertheless, God!
This week, my wife and I will meet with the young lady whose face was beaten worse than many homicide victims to see how we can assist her in her new ministry to families that suffer from domestic abuse, and we are networking with local businesses and churches to provide some of the items that she may need. If you want to help, please let me know. Please keep Heather in prayer.
