Greetings from Finland in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ! We Would like to share with everyone about the tremendous blessing it was to have Laurence, Kim, and Danny as well as Debbie visit us for the weekend of November 3 - 6, 2006. God's Word was alive and His power and love were seen in action every moment of our time together. We saw signs, miracles and wonders and people received deliverance.
On Saturday our meeting started at 4pm. We had 2 hours of prayers, singing, manifestations, testimonies and sharings. Then Laurence taught the Word for about one hour followed by a teaching by Danny. Danny shared how he had had the opportunity to minister healing to a blind person when he had been in France. When ministering was made available at least 9 people were ministered to.
Carl Morten shared about how he had been healed in the fellowship in Oslo a few weeks ago. He said he had come to the point at that meeting that that day, was his day to be healed of rheumatism. So some of the believers shared that they had felt in a similar way: "Today is my day to be healed".
One of them is a lady, a wonderful believer who, with her family, has been with us for many years. She had had asthma for 15 years. So she asked to be ministered to by Laurence and she wanted me to translate. Laurence prayed
for her first. Then he asked her what was the problem. She answered and said that it was asthma. He asked her for more details, how long it had been disturbing her etc. She then spoke about "her asthma" and Laurence immediately confronted her on her confession and explained that it was not her asthma but it was a sickness that the devil had one way or another caused to be in her. So she changed her confession. Then he said that he is going to minister to her now.
He asked her to face me when he laid his hands on her shoulders standing behind her. He said that he was doing it because God had inspired him to do so. Then he commanded the asthma to go out from her. He asked her to breathe in and out strongly and asked her if it was different than before. She said that she could clearly feel that the asthma was gone because she was able to breathe freely. She also shared these things afterwards with the believers in the fellowship.
This lady's daughter also had asthma. She asked my daughter Hanna to minister to her. Hanna had just been ministered to by Laurence so she got to use what she had just learned. She ministered to the girl and having done that she asked her to breathe in and fill her lungs with as much air as she could. The girl did it and realized that she could take in much more air than ever before and that the asthma was gone.
Another of them was the 14 year old son of another wonderful family of believers who have been fellowshipping with us for years. He wants to be a cook. A doctor had said that because of the skin cracking on the joints of his fingers he should never let them get wet with water. To work as a cook then would be impossible. That was all the help the doctors could give. So a few days before the meeting he decided that his hands are going to be healed. Laurence ministered to him and afterwards the young man demonstrated how he could now curl his hand into a tight fist. Earlier he could not have done this because it would have hurt him so much.
Other healings and deliverances took place at that meeting and the atmosphere was full of love and rejoicing as we shared and broke bread together afterwards.
We had another similar meeting a couple of hours north of Espoo in Tampere the following day.
And to prove God doesn't just meet needs but that He also gives us the desires of our hearts when we delight ourselves in Him, we had a huge downfall of snow (which Kim had been believing for) and we were able to go sledging and snowballing too!
Much love,
Heikki
