Crooked nose straightens out!

I thought this was a really fun thing God did for a man..

On Saturday at the healing rooms me and my friend Richard were having fun just blessing people with joy, laughing, walking around and talking to people and not trying very hard. We were drawn to this young guy from Hawaii who was in his late 20s. We asked if anyone had prayed for him. He said no and he wasn't sure if he wanted prayer. Which was funny because he had a form filled out for prayer and everything. We assured him it would be easy and fun. HA.

He was like sure. He said his nose was punched two years ago by one of his friends and had never healed properly. The top of his nose on his left side was missing cartilage and on the right had a large bump. Also the ball of his nose was twisted to the side and noticeably off center. We prayed and laughed and he started to breathe better out of his nose as well as he received new cartilage in the left side of his nose. When this happened we all started to thank the Lord that he could breathe better....

THEN...

 I watched the ball of his nose moved from the left side to the center of his nose. IT WAS CRAZY!! Oh man God is so good!! He and his family were very touched by God and his goodness. This guy said his nose was at least 30-50% better, he said when he looked in the mirror his nose looked different!

God is better than we think, He is really good at healing the sick.. which is great because HE IS HEALER! God's goodness blows me away!

Supernatural Weight Loss

A few weeks ago when I was back home in Toledo Ohio, I was at church and ran into a friend who I hadn't seen in awhile. I was sharing with him a few testimonies about creative miracles when he asked if I could pray for him for a weight loss miracle. He said diet and exercise had been hard and he really wanted some divine intervention.

So I prayed as in, I released joy over him and laughed a lot, I don't remember actually "praying." He felt God's presence and what he called a sucking in his stomach. His stomach was sucking in supernaturally!


Then both of us watched his stomach go in a bit..prayed some more and in a bit and some more and still in.. Then we stopped and he still felt it going in ..guessing an inch total and counting!! Yay GOD!!!!! :D He also felt his arms get smaller and when he looked in the mirror he said he noticed a noticable difference! (anyone reading this recieve it for yourself)

I had never seen this happen before but my bestfriend Holy Spirit heals all that come to Him. It isn't about what we have or haven't seen, it's not our efforts, but our willingness to partner with a God who loves to restore all! He is forsure a God of wholeness.

Raised from the dead!!

This story was originally published here on the Bridgeway Church blog.

On April 10th and 11th Greg Morgan and John Carvey brought me (Rick Mann) and Jim Rogers to the Navajo Nation to pray for a congregation in Ganado. While there I got to be good friends with a pretty new Christian, Jeff, who was like a sponge. He wanted everything that God had for him and his family. He asked me on Saturday night if anyone in our congregation at BridgeWay Church had ever experienced someone being raised from the dead. I told him about the Tanzania Team with Jim Rogers and that many miracles, including someone being raised from the dead had been witnessed. Well, Jeff said he wanted that anointing for his family and his church. He had me lay hands on him right there and give him all that BridgeWay had in God's anointing. This guy is hungry for the Lord to move.

Sunday's service lasted from 9am to around 4pm. Jim and I prayed for the fire of the Holy Spirit to fall on the congregation. Many of the parishioners from the Ganado church came back in the prayer line multiple times for the Lord's anointing to fall on them.

The following week I called Jeff to see how he was doing and if the Lord was still on the move there. Jeff said he was glad I called him. He had a huge testimony to share with me. He said that after the BridgeWay team left them on Sunday night, the Lord told him to stay in the spirit. Jeff said that the anointing of the Lord fell on their church in Ganado on Sunday and remained on them after we left. Monday morning he got the terrible news that his cousin had hung himself.

An ambulance took his cousin to a hospital in Albuquerque and kept him on life support until his family could come and say goodbye. They declared him brain dead upon arrival at the hospital. The Lord told Jeff to stay in the Spirit while he went to see his cousin. When they got to the hospital in Albuquerque, Jeff and his wife went in through the doctor's entrance and all of the pass card protected doors just opened for them as they went through. When they got into the room, his cousin's head was swollen and dark from the hanging injury.

The doctors told him that they tested for brain activity and he was declared brain dead. After the family said their goodbyes the hospital was planning on unhooking him. He was essentially dead already. The Holy Spirit directed Jeff to pray Romans 8: 9-11. ". . . .He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you."

After Jeff read this scripture to his cousin, tears rolled down the face of his cousin in response! After that, Jeff says that the doctors retested his cousin's brain activity on Tuesday, the next day, because they saw movement in his cousin's legs. The test showed some brain activity coming back. On Wednesday, his cousin sat up and said "get me out of here! I want to go home!"

Praise God!!!

transition..can I get an A-MEN!

 I have been in such a place of transition lately whatever that means. For the last three months I can not tell up from down. I am not trying to convey a depressed, hopeless, or even confused feeling. It's more like saying an awkward thing while you are the center of attention and not knowing how to redeem the moment type thing. It's like an everything was very exciting and I don't know how to make the moment climatic again type feeling. Or at least I think, that could be comparable.

The place I have been is hard to explain, it's a  feeling maybe, like I know what the rest of my life holds. Or at least in part, however I am unacquainted with tomorrow. And I don't know what to do, type thing. An all I know to do is to get in God's presence and love on Him because honestly right now that is all that makes sense. Truly in my head many many things make sense but all I understand in my heart is His sweet presence and I am okay with that. Any thoughts on transition?



I know everything will be back to better than normal soon :)
