As
one of the plenary speakers, Brother Bill addressed the
10,000 delegates who attended Global Prayerquake Summit 2004
in Nigeria from
January
14 through January 19. Pastors and leaders came from
every continent in the world to attend the largest annual conference
in
Africa,
organized by Rev. Mosy Madugba. In a Monday afternoon
plenary session, Brother Bill spoke of the restoration of God’s miraculous
healing power to the church of the last days as a tool to prove
that Jesus is Lord and Savior. Before the large crowd of delegates,
God graciously demonstrated this power through Brother Bill as
a woman with arthritis in her knees was able to bend her knees
with no more pain. Afterwards more people with similar problems
were healed as Brother Bill invited delegates to come forward to
minister to them as he had taught. When the Plenary Session was
over, about one-half of the delegates remained in their seats to
be trained in Brother Bill’s Workshop on Evangelism
and Healing Ministry. The others left to go to the
eleven other
Workshops being
offered in other locations.
Again
the Lord graciously anointed him to teach His servants. Near
the end when he announced that he would again ask the Lord
to demonstrate the healing authority that He has entrusted
to His people, between 150 and 200 people with infirmities
came forward and crowded the front of the Hall. Another flood
of believers came forward when I asked for volunteers to minister
healing through the laying on of hands. Again he led them to
pray over the sick, commanding the infirmities and any demons
to go in the name of Jesus Christ. Many, many were healed and
streamed up to the platform to testify of how the Lord had
healed them through His servants. There was much rejoicing.
He told the crowd that they had just witnessed a demonstration
of the authority that the Lord had given to His people to heal
the sick to prove to the world that Jesus is the Son of God
and the only way to the Father. When he asked how many of them
wanted to take the power of the gospel out from the four walls
of their churches into the public places of their communities,
hands shot up from all over the Hall.
