Birthday + Flea Market
Last Thursday (July 8th) was Laura’s birthday, so we went out to eat at Cheesecake Factory. While we were walking through the mall, we saw a guy on crutches. Andrew spoke with him and asked what happened and the guy said he messed it up playing soccer.
At one point it got really awkward when Andrew tried to get his hand and pray for him, but it worked out. Andrew commanded the pain to leave and told the guy to check it out. At first the guy said it felt “ok,” but as we were walking away, he yelled out, “Hey, it’s really good!!”
…
While we were waiting to be seated at Cheesecake Factory, I saw a lady limping as she was leaving the building. I followed her out and asked her what happened. She told me (I don’t remember exactly what) and I offered to pray for her. She didn’t really get it first, so I had to explain that “we pray for people and see them get well.”
She was hesitant and was in a rush, so she refused it.
…
After we ate, as Ryan was checking the tab, he asked one of the waitresses and a manager if either of them had any pain in their body. One of them said their feet were hurting, so Ryan took their hand, commanded the pain to leave, and to their surprise, the pain was gone. So that led to Ryan praying for the other who had back pain, and they were also completely healed.

Last Saturday (July 10th), I went to a flea market in Berryessa with Ryan and Ki. We saw a guy limping in front of us. Ryan went up to him and asked him what happened and he said had some kind of pain in his leg. He let Ryan pray for him, but I don’t think there was much change after he took off walking again.
Later, I saw an older lady with a cane. I asked her what happened and she said it was a car accident from a few years ago. I asked if it was hurting and she said it was, so I said, “Alright, here give me your hand.”
As I said, “In Jesus’ name” her countenance changed because she was so glad I was a believer. After I finished commanding the pain to go, she said it wasn’t feeling completely better, but mentioned that she had her 2 daughters with her.
Just as she said that, both of her daughters showed up, so I asked if either of them had pain in their body. One said that she had neck pain, so I put my hand on her neck and commanded it to be whole.
I had her test it out, but she said she couldn’t really tell at that point but she would test it later.
…
We walked around for about ~10 minutes and I saw a lady pushing a guy in a wheelchair. I went up to them and asked what happened. The lady was very appreciative that I even bothered to ask, she said that she was the caretaker for the guy in the wheelchair. He had cerebral palsy and he was drooling pretty much the whole time I was with them.
She was very receptive, and so I laid my hand on the guy’s shoulder and commanded cerebral palsy to go and all its effects. We didn’t see any apparent change. I got to spend good amount of time with her just encouraging her. It was awesome.
…
We headed to lunch and meet up with another friend that was there. On the way there, I saw a guy working in a small food booth. He was just standing there nonchalantly, so I figured I should approach him.
I asked him, “Hey, this might be a random question, but do you have any pain in your body?”
“Yea, my neck”
“Here check this out, give me your hand.”
He gave me his hand, I asked him what his name was (Jed) and then I started commanding his neck pain to leave. I hit it about 4 times, but didn’t see any apparent change. He was actually very interested, so I ended up telling him about the lady we saw get out of her wheelchair from the previous week.
I told him to keep moving his neck around because it was going to get better. He was really chill about it, and then I went in line to get some food with Ki and Ryan. After we ordered, I turned around and saw a guy with a huge brace on his arm. I said, “Hey what happened to your arm?”
“Fracture…”
“Does it hurt right now?”
“Oooh yeah.”
“Here, check this out”
I put my hand on his arm and started commanding the pain to go. After about 5 seconds, I told him to move it around to check it out. He told me, “It’s good.” I wasn’t sure what he meant so I said, “So do you have anymore pain?”
“Nope”
“It’s 100% gone?”
“Yea.”
“COME ON!”
I ended up praying for his hand again for his bones to mend. He was really awesome about it. I shared with him a little but then his wife started calling him so he had to go.
Right after, I went back to the guy who had the neck pain and I explained to him what just happened. He was impressed, so he asked if he could contact me in any way because his brother was in a car accident a few years ago and hurt his neck. I gave him Ryan’s card and gave him our address. He said he would show up with his brother at our Tuesday meeting (they haven’t showed up yet, up to this point).
I went back to the table with Ki, Ryan, and Christy who just showed up a few minutes before. I was telling them what had just happened and then all of a sudden Jed came back with a friend who was also an employee there.
Jed told me that his friend’s back was hurting. I told the guy to give me his hand and then I commanded the pain to leave. He said it was a little better, but not completely better. I hit it 2 more times before he said all the pain was completely gone; he was really shocked.
…
After we ate, we stopped at a tent where a Korean lady was selling t-shirts. Christy and Ki were able to speak with her in Korean and after Ryan bought a shirt from her, they ended up healing her shoulder. She told us that we should go visit her friends in another tent who also needed healing.
Kurt, Pati, and Travis arrived shortly after that and we camped at one tent for about 15 minutes.
…
I saw a guy with a small brace on his left forearm, so I went up to him and asked him what happened. He said he had a pinched nerve. I told him about the Korean lady who just got healed and then asked if he wanted to be better. He took off his hat and suggested that I pray for his head (he had seizures).
I put my hand on shoulder and started praying. He was a little startled, but he received it. I don’t know how much better he felt after.
…
We saw two guys in wheelchairs who were conversing with each other. When they finished talking, we lost one guy, so I went after the other; his name was David.
I followed David and went up to him and say, “Hey are you ok? Can I ask you what happened?” He dejectedly told me that he had MS and cerebral palsy and then started complaining about how his life sucked. I consoled him and tried to give him some wisdom, and then I laid hands on him.
I don’t know of any immediate change, but he was a lot more encouraged and had a renewed hope by the time I left.
…
Christy, Ki, and I went to visit the Korean lady’s friend in another tent. We found them and started talking with them. One of them had a rash all over her body because of a bite and random pain all throughout her body. We commanded that stuff to go, but we didn’t see much apparent change.
…
We split off and I was with Ki for the next 10 minutes. We approached ~5 different people we saw with a need and we got rejected each time.
We decided to join the group again, and as we got closer, I saw 2 ladies sitting at a table about to eat. They caught my eye and then I saw one of them get up and slowly walk to the trashcan and walk back. So I went up to her and asked if her back was hurting.
She said it was actually her knees, and then she asked “Why?” I told her that “A group of my friends and I are going around praying for people and they are getting healed.” She got really excited and told me to go for it.
I told her friend to put her hand on her knee and to repeat after me. I led her friend through a 2 sentence command and told her to stand up to check out her knees. She said it was feeling better, so I then I asked to make sure it was completely gone, and she said it wasn’t. So I put my hand on her knee and commanded it to be whole and told her to check it again. This time, she said it was “much better.”
They were really excited, so I turned to her friend and asked her if she had any pain in her body, and she said her back was hurting. I did the exact same thing and told the one who just got healed to lay hands on her. I led a similar command and told her told stand up and check her back. She stood and said all her pain was gone.
I spoke with them for ~5 minutes dismantling a few traditions and teaching them how to stay healed and set other people free. They were very encouraged and asked for a card, so I gave them Ryan’s.
…
Later Ki and I saw a girl in a wheelchair with her brother nearby holding her crutches. I went and asked her what happened and she said she messed up her ankle. I told her that I was a healing and I could make it better, so she asked, “How.”
“Here, just give me your hand.”
She gave me her hand and I commanded wholeness into her ankle and for all the pain to go. I hit it ~4 times before she said it was completely better. Just as she acknowledged all the pain was gone, her mom walked in. I explained to her what happened and she was very glad that I was able to minister to her.
…
We didn’t see much happen after that until we were about to leave. We were waiting by the entrance when Ryan saw a little kid that was in a chair (he looked like he had autism). Ryan went to speak with him and his mom.
Meanwhile, I saw a lady with her family roll by in a wheelchair. I was feeling tired and did not want to do anything at all.
Holy Spirit reminded me, “Do unto others…” So I went ahead to talk to them. I asked what happened and they were totally open to prayer. I prayed for the grandma who was in the wheelchair and commanded the pain to leave her body. She didn’t want to stand up, but she said she was willing to try when she got home.
After I prayed, I ended up sharing the testimony with the 2 ladies previously. As soon as I finished telling them the testimony, one of them said, “Hey can you take care of my feet then?”
She had pain in her feet so I put my hand on her shoulder, commanded the pain to leave and then she said she felt better. She immediately told me that her friend’s knees were also hurting. I put my hand on her shoulder and commanded the pain to leave and then I told her to check it out. She moved it around and said it was good.
…
On the way back to the car, I saw a guy with hearing aids on. I intercepted him and asked him how he lost his hearing. He couldn’t really speak clearly, so I didn’t understand him. I just went ahead and put my hands on his ears and starting commanding his ears to open. He walked off confused, but thankful.
