Praying for Deaf People

           A couple of years ago before speaking at Victory Iglesia in Oklahoma City I sensed like the Lord wanted me to pray for people who were deaf.  The Wednesday evening when I came, I started right away calling people up and prophesying over them. The Pastor, Moises Pichardo, told me later that many people watched me incredulously wondering if I thought I was some kind of magician or something. Still, I felt like God had told me to pray for deaf ears. I asked who had a deaf ear(s) and three people came forward with a deaf ear. All three of them could hear out of their deaf ear once I was done praying for them. Then a woman asked me if we could pray for her nephew who was at the doctor right then for hearing tests. He wanted to play sports, but because he was losing his hearing he was not going to be able to play.
I placed my hands on her in his place. Five minutes later, Moises interrupted me with a text message from the mother of the boy. There was the following message. “My son failed the hearing test three times today, but five minutes ago he started hearing perfectly.” The mother at the doctors office did not know that five minutes earlier we had prayed for him. The faith level in that room shot up amazingly. People realized that this was not a show and that God was at work.

(Pastor Alejandro & Mayra Lopes in a conference in Costa Rica) Yesterday I visited a Hispanic church here in Amsterdam which was celebrating the opening of its brand new temple. Iglesia El Encuentro con Dios was founded 18 years ago by Mayra Lopez, the wife of Alejandro Lopez who is now the senior pastor. Their new church building has cost them more than 2 million euros (3 million dollars). It sits in the middle of a commercial/factory zone, so you don't expect to find a building packed with 400 Latin Americans worshipping God in their native language. It is an unbelievable story. Pastor Alejandro has planted churches in the other major cities of Holland as well as in New York and the Domican Republic (his native land). What I did not expect is that yesterday he called me and two other missionary families to give us awards. One award was to an elderly American missionary who led his wife to Christ 18 years ago. I mentioned to her that she was the spiritual grandmother of so m...

T. L. Osborn - A Man Who Made God's Message His Own

Then he said, "Son of man, get all these words that I'm giving you inside you. Listen to them obediently. Make them your own. And now go. Go to the exiles, your people, and speak. Tell them , "This is the message of God, the Master.' Speak your peace, whether they listen or not."  Ezekiel 3:10-11 The Message Bible In order to effectively communicate God's message, we need to first digest them; internalize them, make them our own. When we  have allowed them to enter into the deepest recesses of my heart, then they can change us at the core of our being. Nevertheless, we must also be actively listening and internalizing how the culture around us thinks. When this takes place, we will be able to fluently speak God's words to the culture we live among in a way that they can understand. ( The late Dr. T. L. Osborn) A  good example of this comes from the life of the late T.L. Osborn. Osborn was a pioneer in mass crusade evangelism outside of the Uni...

Ten more weeks...

Ten more weeks until my due date, November the 9th, and the pregnancy is going great. I had to be tested for pregnancy diabetes, because Judah weighed 10 pounds at birth (which is usually an indicator for diabetes). But yesterday the results from that came in and my blood sugar is normal! Praise God! No sugar free diet….! We are expecting a little girl. We have picked a beautiful name…Hannah Grace. Judah calls her “Hannah Gracie”. Talking about Judah…we just celebrated his birthday on the 17th of August. He loved it! It was the first time he could realize that this was all for him and he is still singing birthday songs. He is just developing so quickly, he learns new words every day and because I speak to him in Dutch, he is picking up Dutch real fast. Here are some pictures!!
