Helade näsor

"Some time ago I was ministering in a church of about two hundred and fifty people. Around forty people were healed during the meeting, and so I had them come up to give the testimonies of their healings. I went down the line and interviewed them, and at the end of the line was a gentleman who pointed to his nose and started to explain that the polyps that had been there were now gone. As soon as he pointed to his nose, the phrase "deviated septum" flashed through my mind, along with several testimonies of this condition being healed that I had personally witnessed. Because I recognized the present anointing on that testimony, I immediately responded by interrupting the gentleman and telling everyone with a deviated septum to stand up, put their fingers on their noses, and receive healing. As soon as I did so, about six or eight people were instantly healed. One woman was weeping profoundly because she had been scheduled for surgery the next week to fix the problem. A week later I was in another meeting sharing this testimony and there happened to be a woman sitting on the front row whose daughter had problems with a deviated septum and her sinuses. She started praying for her daughter as I was talking. She didn't know that as soon as I had said the phrase "deviated septum," her daughter had walked into the meeting. The daughter hadn't heard any of my teaching on the prophetic power of the testimony, but when she heard the phrase, her condition was instantly healed.

I love these stories and am awed by them because it is so obvious that God deserves all the credit for performing these miracles. But on the other hand, if I hadn't leaned into what had flashed across my spirit and declared a simple phrase, I believe that the anointing on that testimony for that particular condition would not have been released in the way it was. It happened so fast that I easily could have missed the moment. It is for these moments that I believe God desires us to learn to steward our inheritance of the testimony. He has given us this vast resource so that we can live every day encouraged, and so that we respond to every situation in our lives with a strong awareness of the One who is with us, the One who invades the impossible. And when we as a people begin to live from the conviction that nothing is impossible, I know we will begin to see the fruit of victory in our internal and external battles."
