In the morning while our team was on outreach in the bush, I was sitting in front of the house reading my Bible when I saw a woman complain about her shoulder being in pain. I asked if she wanted prayer, and then a friend and I prayed for her shoulder. After asking her to test it out, she told me it felt completely better. Another woman was watching us and also asked for prayer for malaria. She said she felt better after we prayed (my translator and I). Then another woman asked for prayer because she had pain in her chest. We prayed a couple times because the first time we prayed, the pain left her chest and went into her back. We commanded the demons to leave and she felt better. Then, because I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me, I asked her if she wanted to accept Jesus as her savior.
She was a Muslim that we had prayed for the day before and she had been healed. She said she did. I explained that it would be leaving all her religion and everything she knew… was she ready? She said yes. So then I led her in a prayer of salvation and prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill her. She also cut off an anklet that was put on for superstitious purposes to ward off sickness. After that, one other mother who had two children with her asked for prayer for her two kids, and after praying a couple times, the older boy, about 6 years old, confirmed that his stomach had stopped hurting. The last woman I prayed for had a sore throat. We prayed for her, and then I asked my friend to get her some water. After she took a drink, she told me us that she was completely better. Praise Jesus! All of this happened before 6 AM. What a marvelous way to start my day!
