Miraculous
healings at an African-American Church
On the
final evening of November 2010 The Elijah Challenge was introduced
to Cullen Missionary Baptist Church, a congregation
of note in the
African-American community in Houston. The Senior Pastor is Robert
Jefferson. We gave the folks an introduction to The Elijah Challenge
Basic Training, and after that we had the believers minister healing
to
those with
infirmities in accordance with the teaching.
The
Lord was gracious, and at least ten people testified that the Lord
had healed them. Pastor Eula Washington who leads another congregation
in Houston had come to the meeting
with her minister son and daughter but had forgotten her eyeglasses
and could not see clearly. As Pastor Dorel Iseanu of Moldova (in
Eastern Europe) touched her eyes and rebuked the infirmity in Jesus'
name, the Lord restored her eyesight. With a smile Sister Eula testified
that she could see clearly. The wife of Pastor Louis Tomlinson of
Houston was suffering from cataracts in her eyes, but as a believer
touched her eyes in Jesus' name she discovered that she could see
clearly. These were just two of the several testimonies.
Afterwards
Pastor Tomlinson approached us and shared that in all his many
years of ministry he had never heard such teaching and presented
with such clarity.
Afterwards
we told the folks that the Lord entrusted this power and authority
over disease and demons to them for the
primary purpose
of healing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God to the many
lost sheep in the African-American community in Houston. The overwhelming
majority of African-Americans have been to church and they know who
Jesus Christ is. But most have fallen away---many into drug trafficking,
drug addiction, and prostitution. These
are the backslidden people of God who need to be brought back to
their Lord.
That
evening we
taught the believers how heal the sick and cast out demons for
the purpose of bringing God's people back to Him and preparing
them for the great and dreadful Day of the Lord. This is the purpose
of the spirit of Elijah during these last days.
