Revival, the Second Wind of Holy Spirit revival, will come again, I believe with healings. In recent months, the people of Galena Assembly have seen miraculous healing take place. A young man, Hayden, was healed in his ear. Unable to hear, Pastor Kurt prayed for him three times in one service. The third time, fluid began to leak from his ear, opening his hearing.
Galena's children's pastor prayed for a blind man at his workplace, Choptix restaurant. The man came back a week later seeing. Pastor Kyle prayed for another person at the restaurant who was healed of diabetes.
A young college student at the church was diagnosed with tumors on her uterus. After praying and returning to the doctor, they disappeared.
Most recently, a woman who drives the bus for our children on Sundays and Wednesdays was given a bad report about a spot on her left chest. The doctors were gravely concerned and wanting to send her to a specialist. Pastor Kurt prayed with her about it and she returned to church this last week reporting the doctors could no longer find the spot. She was completely well.
Finally, a precious baby boy was brought to us for prayer. His grandmother attends our church and watches him frequently. He was not gaining weight and not able to keep formula down and it was very clear this child could not see. Waving your hands in front of him, taking your finger and almost touching his eyeball caused no reaction, no blinking, no response. He was listless and lethargic. As Kurt and I and Pastor Kyle, the church secretary, and his grandmother prayed for him at the front of the church after most people had gone, I began to cry. There was something so special about this boy. He was set apart for a purpose. His deep, brown eyes seemed unable to find us, but his sweet spirit was so evident to all of us. This is a picture of this precious, beautiful baby now. God opened his eyes. The doctors gave him a good report. He is now active and engaging, clearly seeing those around him. As Kurt and I stood on the platform testifying of God's great power in this child's life, he smiled up at me, a gorgeous testimony of God's love for His children.
God is at work at Galena Assembly. The Second Wind is beginning to blow. Raise your expectancy. Prepare your hearts to receive what God has for us and then share the Good News with all who will listen. There is a vast world of hurting people and God is ready and willing to exhibit His mighty power on their behalf. Don't hoard what God is doing at Galena Assembly or in your life. Be a conduit of His Presence in the lives of those around you.
If you have a need, feel free to share it and we will pray for you at Galena. What God began in 1903, He is about to bring to fruition again. And the latter will be greater than the former! Feel the Second Wind!
