“Our church, The NET Church (New Evangelistic Temple) in
Houston, Texas, had started Sunday Evening Healing Services and
I had just been introduced to your website www.TheElijahChallenge.org and I went there and downloaded as many of the articles as I
could and quickly read all of them practically through the night.
The next day, everyone that we prayed for at the healing service
(by the prayer of commanding the spirits of infirmity to leave
as Jesus and the disciples did it and as taught by you) was healed.
We give God all the glory!”
The
Lord is now graciously using Pastor Charles to teach The Elijah
Challenge and to preach the gospel in the spirit and power
of Elijah

Report
on Pastor Charles' meetings in Alabama at
the Redeemed Christian
Church of God
"The
LORD is great and greatly to be praised! Alabama was a huge
victory for the Kingdom of GOD. The initial resistance was
great, but your prayers and the prayers of all the intercessors
were registered in heaven; and our Father dispatched mighty
angels to war on behalf of His word and the ministry.
The first night, we had a major problem that we could not resolve
with the computer equipment. I had prepared to minister from
my lap top with the slides but for some reason we could not get
them working sequentially and I had to stop the use of the slides.
(After the meeting the computer operated properly.) However,
the LORD brought everything that I needed to my memory for teaching
the saints. His tangible presence was felt. A woman testified
that she was healed while the teaching was going on.
The Friday night healing service was successful,
however, the only sick people in the meeting were believers.
They did not
invite unbelievers to the meeting. I presented the Elijah Challenge
material using every scripture I could about how to use healing
to win the lost and also how to heal the sick and not combine
praying and commanding. I spent time with them on Mountain Moving
Faith. At the end of the teaching I asked for
the believers who were sick to come forward and I informed
them that I was not going
to personally lay hands or pray for any of the sick believers.
The other believers who had been listening were then asked by
me to lay hands on the sick believers and command the sicknesses
to go in Jesus' Name.
The result was instant healing testimonies - a lady who had
a condition a painful stomach ulcer was instantly healed and
the pain left. A lady who had not been able to move her joints
was instantly healed. A lady with back pain too. Practically
every one that was prayed for was healed. As a result of that,
they invited unbelievers to the service on Sunday.
One of the most exciting testimonies was a man who they knew
in that church that he had been having difficulty sleeping and
the doctors could not detect what was wrong. A believer laid
hands on him and prayed and I told them that the only way we
can know if the healing occured would be after he had slept.
The church was full on Sunday with a lot of unbelievers and
the man who was having sleeping difficulties testified that he
had slept soundly from Friday evening and also Saturday night.
On Sunday we had a mass healing service and when I asked people
to surrender their lives to Christ - the number of people that
came forward caught me by surprise. I then clarified the call
and told them that I was asking only those who were giving their
lives for the first time (not rededication) - the people at the
altar remained and one more person came forward. It was reported
that that was the highest number of first time salvation that
they had witnessed in any meeting in the church.
The LORD, I believe, was validating the principle that JESUS
HEALS SICKNESSES AND DISEASES AND THEREFORE HE SAVES US FROM
SIN.
The
congregation asked the Pastor to ask me to come back for more
training. They have scheduled two meetings - one in first
week of May and another in last week of July this year."
