The
event was hosted by Pastor Larry Skelton of Victory
New Testament Fellowship. His father was a pioneer minister in Dallas who knew
and worked with
some very
well-known
healing evangelists of the past like Jack Coe. Pastor Larry himself
has worked closely with Oral Roberts.

Now, during
these last days, the Lord is fulfilling HIs promise in John 14:12---those
who believe in him will do the works that He did.
To nameless and faceless believers everywhere the Lord is restoring
the understanding of His power and authority to heal the sick for the
sake of the Great Commission. The
pastors and ministers who attended the Training from as
far away as the state of Indiana were very enthusiastic. One of the
pastors called it life-transforming.
The
Lord was gracious to anoint us to teach His word. At the end of
the first session He confirmed the word by healing some people who
had
knee problems. One middle-aged
servant of God was able to jump up and down with no problem from
his previously arthritic knees after a sister laid hands on him.
During the Training the Lord performed various miraculous healings
through the trainees. But it was during the two evening evangelistic
healing services that we witnessed the greater ones. On Thursday evening
there was one memorable healing involving Pastor Rhodora Howell. She
was suffering from lupus which among other things gave her miserable
pain in the upper part of her body, especially her neck and shoulders.
The pain was such that in the mornings it normally took her two hours
just to get up and dressed. Thursday evening her condition was so bad
that she almost decided not to come to the service. But during the
healing-at-a-distance (as Jesus did in Luke 7) by the trained servants
of God, the pain left her completely. The next morning she got up with
no pain or difficulty.
One of the servants of God who ministered in song during
the evenings had suffered from what he called "busted" L2,
L3, L4, and L5 vertebra. When one of the brothers laid hands on him,
the Lord healed
him and he was able to bend over freely.
The gentleman
whose knees had been healed at the first training session had an
encyclopedia of infirmities, including an enlarged heart. He could
actually feel the pressure of his heart pressing on his rib cage.
Afterwards he testified that he could no longer feel the pressure.
At the
second evening service there was a visibly disturbed woman who among
other things said she suffered from a bi-polar condition.
She also heard voices and felt as if a claw had a constant grip in
her head. During the healing-at-a-distance she felt the claw release
its grip on her and lift away. The voices ceased. A woman who had been
unable to lift her arm wept as she testified that the Lord had healed
her. She was able to lift her arm freely with no pain.
All these miracles demonstrated that Jesus has authority to forgive
sin and that He is the only way to the Father. Unfortunately there
were few if any non-believers present at the evening services to witness
them. However, the evening evangelistic healing services became part
of the Training. Now the servants of God know how to heal the sick
and proclaim the kingdom of God on their own. They are going back to
the different states from which they came to train their own people
and they now know how to preach the gospel in the spirit and power
of Elijah.
We now look forward to hearing how these servants of God will boldly
use what they have been taught for the sake of the gospel.
