Sacred Fire – Unchained Ministries Blog

Last Sunday morning we had an incredible outpouring of healing in our church. On the Saturday night before, my wife Kerry was suffering from an attack of rheumathoid arthritis, so much so that she was unable to attend church the next morning. I arrived at church ready to lead worship and my brother Mark was rostered to preach, but was so dizzy he could hardly stand up straight!

I had the sense that we were under attack as a church, and a couple of songs into the worship I really felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to go into a more intense approach to the worship, declaring by faith the faithfulness of God.

As I did, I felt the Lord show me streams of healing being released to the church – so I called people forward who needed healing.

Straight away people began being touched by God’s presence, and the following testimonies attest to God’s healing power -

• My brother Mark was able to preach with no ill-effects from the dizziness.
• Robyn (another church member) had been in a car accident the previous Wednesday and had come to church with a lot of back pain. As she came down the front in reponse to the altar call she felt a “crack” in her back and was immediately healed from all pain.
• When I got home, my wife (who had been unable to get out of bed that morning), was bouncing around the kitchen making lunch – all her soreness had been healed, and her joints were no longer swollen. She told me that at about 10:30 am (the time I made the altar call for healing at church), she felt a sudden presence of the Lord and was immediately healed – praise God!

Raised from a coma through prayer!

Our church has been involved in the last 2 weeks in something truly miraculous!

My ex-wife who lives in Western Australia had become very ill with flu over a matter of some weeks. While attending hospital to have a minor treatment she collapsed and was subsequently diagnosed with a very serious case of pneumonia.

The doctors responsible for her care put her into a drug-induced coma, and began to contact her family because they did not expect her to live. As her immediate family began to gather from all over the state where she lives, my daughter Lisa called me to let me know the situation, and I promised her I would gather our church to pray. This was on Saturday 9th May.

The situation was so serious that the doctors did not expect her to survive.

On Sunday 10th May (Mother’s day) I was rostered to preach at our church, and I began by explaining the situation to our church, and we then all entered into intercession, that God would intervene.

My wife Kerry had a vision as she was praying of Jesus kneeling over a prone figure and raising her up, and this sparked faith in us that God was going to answer in a wonderful way.

After church I called Lisa, and she reported that at the time we were praying, her mother’s highly elevated temperature came down to normal, but she could still not breathe un-assisted and was still in a coma.

A week went by with no change, and then the following Sunday I again called the church to pray during the Sunday morning service.

I felt a powerful presence of the Lord as we prayed, and something in my heart was telling me that God was going to respond in a marvellous way.

I got out of church and called Lisa – she had also been at church that morning and her church was praying too – within half an hour of church finishing she got a call from the hospital that her mother had started breathing un-assisted, and the doctors subsequently brought her out of the coma, removed her IV tubes and breathing assistance, and she was in recovery!!!

Praise God! Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!

He still heals, saves, delivers and restores – HALLELUJAH!
