LOCAL LIGHTHOUSE EVANGELISM
God does miracles on the streets
O
ur God is a supernatural God and He wants us to have a lifestyle that is supernatural, taking His power and presence wherever we go.
There are people outside of the four walls of ECC who may not believe in who Jesus Christ is, but a simple miracle or healing done by faith in Jesus Christ could leave a lasting impression on them. “But if I do His work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don’t believe Me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father” (John 10:38). Below are some miracles that took place on the streets when the evangelism teams went out to witness for Jesus. Pastor Rajinder BUXTON
Healed of back and knee pain
Longstanding hip problem healed
O
A
ne lady, using a walking stick, sat down on a bench chair, ready to receive prayers from the team. She didn’t know about Jesus. As the team ministered to her, excitement broke out, as one leg (that had been shorter than the other) grew out to the same length as the other. The lady was able to walk, with no pain in her back. She still complained that there was pain in her knees, but as the team again laid hands on her knees and prayed a prayer of faith for her healing, she stood up and started kicking her knees forward and backwards, very excited since the pain in her knee was completely gone. The team talked to her about Jesus’ love and compassion for her, and she said she was ready to pray the Sinner’s Prayer, inviting Jesus Christ into her life. She walked off holding her stick in the air.
young lady complained of a severe pain in her hip, caused by being involved in an accident a few years earlier. She had a shooting pain down her left hip into her left leg, and had lived with the pain for years. As she allowed the team to lay hands on her hips, she suddenly said, “I feel heat in my hips”, as God’s power
came upon the young lady, who knew nothing about Jesus. Her hips started to rotate as the Holy Spirit worked to put her hips back into the correct position. She went away with the Gospel given to her, to show her how much Jesus loves her. She said she will come to ECC, and we pray she will.
Feeling the joy of the Lord lady allowed a team member to pray with her.
The team explained to her she was feeling the real and tangible presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then explained the gospel message to her.
“I have had pain for a few years. I actually broke my collarbone and, for a few years now, I’ve been unable to lift my right arm up,” one young lady explained her need to the Evangelism team. As the team ministered healing to her in Jesus’ Name, she suddenly looked up in amazement as she was asked to demonstrate her healing. She lifted her arm right up, moved it up and down and said: “No pain!” She was given the good news of salvation, and we prayed that she will visit ECC.

Suddenly, the unsaved lady stopped her and said: “I am feeling so much joy in me. I am feeling something I’ve never felt before.”
