Corpus Christi Wheelchair Testimony
Posted on February 1, 2007

On October 18 th, I joined up with two others from my church in Tulsa, and drove through the night to get to Corpus Christi, Texas. We stayed there ministering for about four days and drove back to Tulsa through the night on October 22 nd. The pastors we joined up with had scheduled us to be the final speakers of a two-week tent revival. We also had the opportunity to minister on the radio through out the days we were there. When the body of Christ comes together in one accord Jesus is there with them. When we all work together for the cause of Christ, to reach the lost, we will see salvations. We will see miracles. We will see signs and wonders like the days Jesus roamed the earth and when He empowered the early Church on the day of Pentecost. That same Jesus who healed the sick and raised the dead, is the same Jesus who said you will do these things and even greater things because I go to the Father. He is the same Jesus then as the one working in and through your life right now.

There is no way to explain everything that has happen while we were in Corpus Christi. It is like a friend of mine said as he was running for Attorney General in Oklahoma. “My job is simply to plant the seeds. My job is to plant as many seeds as I can. From there it is Jesus’ job to bring the rain.” We planted so many seeds while we were on the radio as well as when we preached at the tent revival. Even now those seeds are receiving the rain from Jesus and even more miracles and salvations are happening. We saw a mighty move of God while we were there and in many cases where able to see the fruit of our labor. I personally had the opportunity to minister at a one-on-one level and bring two souls back into the Kingdom of God. We were able to see changes in the physical appearance in many people as we ministered to them. We saw the work of Jesus showing in the eyes, and in there smiles. A lot of people took on a new physical appearance filled with joy and the love of Jesus. I must tell the story of the one particular person. While I was on the radio the first day we were in Corpus Christi, I received a phone call for prayer. The lady who called me had be paralyzed for 15 years from the wasted down. I prayed with her and I felt that she needed to come to the tent revival. I invited her to come and she told me she would try to make it. She ended up coming the final night when I was preaching.

The message that the Lord gave me was that we have to “only believe.” As I invited everyone for prayer the altar was filled. The Spirit of the Lord began His good work and the people were touch and miracles began to happen in their lives. Finally, the time came to pray for the lady in the wheelchair. I began to pray for her, but God laid it on my heart not to pray for healing. God gave a word for her, “you have been asking for something for a long time, but tonight I am going to give you something even better than what you have been asking for.” I asked her to stay after the meeting so we could pray for her longer, she agreed and we continued ministering to her after the meeting. As we ministered to her, her husband stood nearby. The Holy Spirit began to move, and to make a long story short, the Lord restored their marriage. Both of them had come to the meeting heavy-burdened and depressed; however, they left the presence of the Lord with Joy and a restored marriage. All of a sudden I notice that the lady in the wheel chair was rubbing her legs. I asked her if she felt anything, and she replied that there was an intense heat running up and down her legs. It was the start of her healing. Not only had God given her more than she asked for, but he was giving her the very desire of her heart. As we left to go back to the place we stayed this lady came to us and said, “The next time you come back, we will jump rope together!” Praise God for the work He does in our lives and the lives of everyone we come in contact with!

I believe that God has the same word for all of us. He wants to give us far and beyond what we could ever dream or ask for.
