House Ministry Fruit
We were invited to a house by a family from Pastor Daniels church. When we arrived, it didn't take long for us to recognize them. Our team had remembered how two years ago they took us to their neighbors to pray for another family.
This was one of our favorite stories from that trip:
After the daughter's arm was healed and the father's back was healed, the mother would not let us leave till her own leg was healed. We prayed for her and nothing happened, she kept saying "Pray again! Pray again!" We prayed five times before she was finally healed.
Such an amazing testimony. Well it gets even better!
The word "Fruit" was definitely coming true all around us.
You see, the thing we never knew was that the father was Hindu. This trip we learned that a couple days after our team had prayed for him and he was healed, he said that Jesus was real and he has been living for Jesus for the last two years. We were so excited to hear the news, this time he even accompanied us to some of their neighbors homes to pray for others with a big smile on his face!
Witchcraft
One of the first homes we visited belonged to a family with farm land and many animals. They were very blessed but because of this they believed that their neighbors had put a curse on their livestock. The family had multiple goats become ill. Unfortunately witchcraft and curses are often practiced and very real in India. We were invited to come and pray over the family's property and animals. We had such a wonderful time of prayer and worship. After worship was finished, Pastor Daniel informed our team that we were to go around and give words to each person. Word had spread that our team moved in the prophetic and people were wanting us come to minster God's heart to them. We took time to simply ask God what His thoughts were over each person. Having a team of four that all move in the prophetic was nice because each person received a word! Many of these people asked Pastor Daniel how could we even know these things. He was able to encourage them that we just listen to God. It was a great start to doing house ministry.
Fear Gone
Here is a picture of our team praying for a woman to have fear broken off. As we entered the house, Pastor Daniel asked us to pray for her and her husband, and of course give prophetic words. We took time to ask the Lord His heart for them. Instantly one of us got the word fear. We asked the wife if she was dealing with fear and she said yes. Grace and Hannah began to pray for fear to be gone. Grace began to weep for her and you could feel fear fleeing. Her husband is an evangelist and we had seen him throughout our trip joining in on ministry time. The wife had not come out with us until after the fear was broken off. Right after we prayed for her, she joined us to minister to the neighbors. You could see such a difference in her!
Auntie
Auntie lives not far from our home in India. Every year she requests that we stop by for tea and snacks as well as a time of worship and prayer. She calls each of her kids and hands us the phone to pray over them and give words. One of the past trips her husband was having issues with seeing in one of his eyes and a knee injury making it difficult to walk. We prayed for him but nothing changed in his condition. This year we found out that a couple days after we prayed for him he started walking pain free and he could see just fine! We teach that it's not our job to do the healing, it's our job to do the praying. We pray and leave it in God's hands. I love hearing stories of God moving even days after. This was a year of God showing us fruit from past trips, and this is just one of many.
Dinner With Muslims
One of the women in Pastor Daniels church had been ministering to all her neighbors and she invited us to go to some of those houses. We ended up getting to pray for a muslim family. We had a time of worship, gave prophetic words and prayed over the mom, dad, and the son. It was a great time. Later that day we received word that the family wanted to honor us and invited us to a meal. They went above and beyond to welcome us. What a welcome it was...a huge spread of foods as you can see from the photo! That picture doesn't even show all the food included. We had some of the tastiest fried chicken, mutton biryani, homemade grape juice, dessert and more. You could really feel the joy of the Lord in this time of fellowship. There was laughter and conversations happening all around. Pastor Daniel was able to have great conversation with the dad as well as Justin with the son. When we left they invited us to come back every year we visit. We believe that seeds were planted and watered in this family and we will see the fruit in future trips.
Restoration
Ruth was her name. In previous years she was one of the main women in the church out ministering in the community. Everywhere our team turned Ruth was there joining in on ministry time. She called Grace her best friend and would introduce her to all the other women. She loved Hannah and Grace and always wanted pictures with them. Last year we were curious as to what happened to her. We hadn't seen her at church, or showing up at any houses. Finally Pastor Daniel shared with us the devastating news. Her daughters had disowned her for being a christian and the son who owed some bad people money let his debt be collected on Ruth. They broke in, robbed her, and assaulted her. We went to her house and she was no longer the same woman we had remembered. Her eyes had lost the sparkle and she seemed like a shell of herself. Severely depressed and in pain. Hannah and Grace wrapped their arms around her and cried. We prayed and believed for restoration.
This year the first thing we did in India was the New Years service. It was such a surprise to see Ruth in the service with a big smile. It was great to see her back at church. God was restoring her. We were able to see her at multiple services and even got to worship and pray at her house. She even asked Grace to anoint her house. This is another moment of fruit from past trips that we were able to rejoice in.
Healings
Every time we minister in India we see God do all kinds of miracles and this trip we saw many healings as well.
On the way to India Justin had fallen out of his chair and injured his back. He showed up in India with a hurt back, which was one of his biggest fears because he's wrestled with back problems for roughly 20 years. Justin was excited because this was his first trip to India since his back had been healed earlier this year. The team prayed for his back the first night in India but no healing had taken place. Justin laid in his bed that night as fear filled his thoughts. As he was praying he heard Jesus ask "Do you trust me?" Justin had prepared a sermon for one of the services on trusting Gods character. He quickly replied "I trust you Lord." Jesus then responded "Did I heal you before?" Justin answered "Yes." By morning his back was completely healed. This testimony added to the message that was preached everywhere we went that trip. This message seemed to really build peoples faith to trust God and it seemed like everywhere we went backs were being healed.
Among many of the healings we prayed for we saw lots of leg injuries being healed. The picture displayed is of Grace and Hannah praying for a Hindu lady that we met on our way to do house ministry. We had a word of knowledge about her leg. We asked her if she had pain in her leg and she said yes. We asked her what she can't do and as she tried to raise it just a little, she winced in pain. We prayed and after she was not only able to raise it pain free, but she could walk as well.
