Nerves Healed

Steve,

Well God is always surprising us isn’t he? I attended your message last Sunday night at Harvest Rock Church and during our time of prayer for people in pain a young lady named “Jenny” asked if she could pray for me.

I have been suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck that has caused me such severe pain I was about to start injection therapy and possibly surgery in my spinal cord. I have not been able to easily drive myself or comfortably sleep. I have had a lot of pain before, but this was very localized, intense pain because it was on the nerve going into my shoulder, arm and hand. The pain was keeping me from functioning.

She prayed once. She asked how I felt. I did not sense any change. She wanted to pray again. She asked again if I noticed anything and I did not. She asked if she could continue to pray. She continued and then told me that she had a vision of a clamp on my nerve. I told her I did not “FEEL” any different, but I felt the touch of God’s hand upon me. I have experienced it before and know the touch. I thanked her so much for her diligent, sincere prayer.
I was still numb in my hand and arm. I went home and went to sleep.

The next morning I awoke without pain. I could not find the pain which had been a constant companion to me the last few months. Each morning I wake up without pain. This is not just decreased pain. It is NO PAIN. I still have numbness in my fingers, hand and arm, but NO PAIN. I can drive myself, sit, sleep without taking pain pills and muscle relaxants.

I believe that God loves the prayer that is persistent in asking. God has no favorites and wants to touch so many more people if we would only ask him.

God is Moving

Hi, Steve,

My mom and my sister (S.) who has Downs Syndrome went to your seminar in Pasadena couple of weeks ago and received prayer from you. After that prayer, S. is almost a different person.

She started to speak more clearly and express herself, her anger or her pleasure, at what was happening around her instead of just withdrawing into silence. She started to explain what she wanted to do instead of sulking or giving us the silent treatment because she knew we would not understand.

When we asked her about her change, S. said it was because of her DNA! She understood and remembered what you had said in your prayer.

She is expressing herself with us. She had never done that before in such a free manner.

We wanted to share what God has done through you.

Thank you for your prayers,
Lisa P.

Feet Healed

I can’t thank you and the team enough for praying for me on February 15. I think my feet are better, although the bunions are still there and the big toes still hurt. But other parts of my feet that had been hurting recently are not hurting now, and my big toes are not hurting as much.

In fact, they only hurt in a bent position. So I’ve gone back to a life of jumping. I jumped in worship at Bethel for the Friday evening and Sunday morning services, and I’m jumping to Bethel worship on the internet, and have suffered no ill effects, including no sharp pain.

Praise God! Jesus is sooo good. And I’m so happy! I love to worship! It’s my favorite thing!

Also, I’m noticing that it seems as though my hands/thumbs are not hurting as much as they were before you and the team prayed for me. Praise God!

New Hunger Rising Up

Hi Steve.

This is Ben … You met with me at my uncle Rick’s home a few months back. You and Rick ministered to me and prayed with me and eventually I was saved and baptised in Christ (though not with water). I wanted to send you a quick email to thank you again for your time that day. It did then and still does mean a lot, as we had never met before.

I’m still new in Christ, have good days and bad days (as expected) and am occasionally unsure (as expected again) but I feel better. I feel like I’ve made real progress. I feel the Holy Spirit in my life, changing the way I think and feel about things. My attitudes and desires are not the same as they were before. It was very subtle at first, but I’ve come to notice it a lot more in the last month or so as I realized things that have changed without me even noticing (such as cursing which I don’t seem to do at all now, nor have a desire too).

I can still feel the enemy always trying to place doubts and temptations in front of me but I’m much better at fighting them back now with God’s help. Amazing how much easier things are when you are not relying entirely on your own strength.

Only in the past week I’ve started to feel a real need to devour the bible and it’s helped matters drastically. I cannot say how exactly, but it has. It all comes back to the word. That is where the strength comes from. The assurances come from. The belief comes from. God’s word interpreted for us by the Holy Spirit. It’s amazing stuff.

Her Knee is Healed!

Steve Trullinger had just come to teach us about healing on Thursday and Friday night [May 8 & 9]. During this time he shared and prayed over us the impartation he received at Lakeland, Florida. I received all I could in hunger despite my own [lack of] understanding.

Not quite sure if anything happened in the way of impartation we conducted our weekly church service to the poor and homeless of Tacoma on Sunday morning [May 11].

What we all experienced that day was an increase in the anointing. I personally prayed for about 6 people that morning [which is and of itself a miracle for those in this demographic to display that type of hunger for prayer]. It seemed like half the people I got a chance to pray for felt an immediate change in their physical bodies.

One woman, Diane, who had come for the first time, was recently evicted from her apartment. Diane is a sweet woman about 50 to 60 years of age who loves Jesus. She and her son had just been put onto the streets. I met her during the breakfast after the service and asked to pray a blessing of provision/prosperity over her. She said “yes.”

As I prayed, I asked if she had any pain in her physical body. She said that her knee had been in so much pain that she could hardly make it up any hills or stairs. She gave me permission to pray over her knee as well and I put my hand on the location and began to command the pain to leave and the knee to be restored. I asked her what she felt and she said she felt warmness all over her affected knee.

I asked her to test it and she bent down and confirmed that all the pain had gone.

I saw Diane just a couple of months after the event and she said her knee was feeling wonderful and the miracle had been sustained.

God is Doing a New Thing

You prophesied on Kijiji Cha Amani and said, “God will do anew thing in that place” and for sure, He has done! A bridge was constracted right at the place you spoke from, which now has connected the two villages and a street light has been erected to give light to the people during the night and to make the place now peaceful (Amani) in the night! We thank God for your prophecy which has come to be true.

Led to Salvation!

Good evening brother Steve. I have a praise report for you. A friend of mine Nicole just emailed me and said she just asked Jesus into her heart as her Lord and Savior. She said your video testimony really touched her and led her to salvation. Thanks again Steve for all that you do for Christ. Heaven is partying right now

God Hears Me!

Hi everyone! I know that some people are still curious about my name change and have not yet heard the whole story. I thought I would put it here for you all to see.

It occurred during Easter break of 2006. I spent that Easter break with a group of friends from GCC; we traveled to the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO to spend the week praying and drawing closer to God. We spent our days at IHOP (International House of Prayer- not pancakes 🙂 and our evenings with the wonderful couple we were staying with. Every night at their house we would worship God and pray specifically for some of the people in our group. God did amazing things in all of us while we there.

Even a couple months before the trip, though, I had already prayed for God to give me a new name. I had been through some traumatizing experiences, and after a period of time during which God did some amazing healing in me, the name Mara had really started to bother me.

It had never bothered me before- I had always loved having a unique name. But Mara means bitter; I had known that most of my life. After my experiences, though, it began to really mean “bitter” to me every time I heard it, and I thought, “I am not bitter anymore.” I did not like being called something I was not, and when I heard Mara I was only reminded of what I once was and what I had once experienced. That bitter part of my life was over, and I disliked being called Mara so much that I asked God to give me a new name. I had no clue how or if He would, but I told Him that I would not pick out a new name for myself or let anyone else. I wanted Him to name me, and if He did not do it, no one else would…I would just have to live with the name Mara for the rest of my life.

Thank God that He heard me!

One evening during the trip, everyone prayed and waited on God for me. After a time of waiting and listening to Holy Spirit, a friend of mine read part of Isaiah 62 to me: “you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah [my delight is in her], and your land Beulah [married]; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married…They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.”

Then a minister who I had just met on that trip told me that God was changing my name. He took me to the book of Ruth where Naomi, who had lost everything and everyone dear to her except Ruth, said, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter.” Then he told me that I was to say “Do not call me Mara. Call me Naomi.” Naomi is the complete opposite of Mara- it means “pleasant/delightful”.

Amazing! I had not told anyone that I had asked God to give me a new name, and here He was using a minister I had not even met before that trip to tell me that He was giving me the name Naomi! I was and still am absolutely blown away by His love and care and just how real and involved He really is. Wow- that He would really answer me and name me Himself! I probably should not have been so overwhelmed as I was- He did, after all, die for my sins and a made a way for me to be with Him forever. There is no greater expression of love than that, but such a personal answer to my personal request absolutely flooded me with an awareness of His love and presence. The name Naomi is such a precious gift to me, and in it is also a promise/reminder to me of what God has for me and who He has made me to be.

5 Scoops!

Brother Steve Trullinger .. Greetings ..

A while back, maybe 2-3 years ago, you came and spoke at one of home groups here in the K.C. (Kansas City) area, one associated with the International House of Prayer.

I’m glad you came. I’d been wanting to hear testimony of the Work of God through the Body of Christ…testimony of such as you gave.

I kept “amenning” you, and since I was really close by you, I think it was a bit distracting to you. But you allowed the Holy Spirit to perfect it, and He grabbed it and increased it like He did the little boy’s lunch.

Here’s what he did; I’ve been wanting to tell you this testimony, ever since then.

You told us testimony of the miraculous that goes on regularly in and through your ministry and those involved in it. Made we want to leave with you …

So I kept amenning you. The testimony and teaching and exhortation you gave was very needed, wanted, and desired. Amen.

So, you said something about the amenning, and I made a comment that we were eager to hear the testimony of what you were telling us. So, you said if I kept ammenning you’d get me two scoops of ice cream.

You didn’t realize what you’d just said, what Jesus did …..

Two Scoops of Ice Cream

When I was about 9 years old, my dad was working about 12 hours a day to support his family of 3 kids and his wife, my mother. Praise the Lord for them.

So, one day my dad comes home early from work. He got off work early in the day, just as a gift.

I heard him tell my mother that he was going to do something he never gets to do: take his son down to Baskin-Robbins for some ice cream. Just him and me, walking the 4-5 blocks to the ice cream store.

We ordered ice cream. I got 2 scoops on one of those pointed cones. Sure looked good. My dad got 2 too.

So, my dad asks me a question, and I tilt my arm sideways and …. plop… my 2 scoops of ice cream fall on the ground. I’m kinda looking at it like, oops, now what?

But my dad acts quick and says, “No problem, it’s not your fault. I think I’ve got enough change for 2 more scoops to replace those. So he checks his pocket and counts it out with the ice cream clerk, and he has just enough change to get me 2 more scoops.

Now this time I am very much more careful with my 2 scoops of ice cream, as my dad and I walk back to the house eating our ice cream and having needed fellowship.

About 25 years later ……..

I’m spending some time with the Lord at the House of Prayer. The Lord keeps reminding me of the walk with my dad to get 2 scoops of ice cream on a day he got off work early. I have this revelation about it. It wasn’t the ice cream; it was the walk with my dad.

God our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, is the same way, even more. He provides many things for us to enjoy, but He is the Real Enjoyment, and the walk with Him is The Event, continuously.

So, He goes out and finds the “book” I want. Him bringing it is the joy; He is The Joy.

So, when you said, after my amenning you so much, that if I kept amenning, you’d get me 2 scoops of ice cream ……..!!

That’s why I replied to you, “I’m going for 5 scoops!”

Joy in Jesus,
Charles B.
