The
testimony of someone who attended the Advanced Elijah Challenge
Training in February 2008
"I am [on the mission field] teaching and evangelizing. Today, I
was able to put into practice The Elijah Challenge. I chose to
do so only after evangelism teaching and call. 180 women attending,
mostly church members, 21 brand new professions...one a wife of
a witchdoctor, another a mother of a member for whom everyone had
prayed for a long time. Many of the rest were visitors, praise
God. After lunch, more teaching and then healing. A crippled woman
stands straight, a woman in great pain dancing down the aisle,
a headache gone, a shoulder pain gone, a leg pain gone, a broken
heart and fear removed.
I teach before healing that God uses healing to
give people a 'taste of the kingdom of God'---it is not salvation.
They are to "go
and sin no more." God wants to give them hope. When time for
testimonies came, no one spoke, then it began to pour so hard that
one could barely think, much less hear. We stopped and sang until
it stopped. This was used by God to give people time to see their
own healing and testimonies began to come. As we were praising
and hearing testimonies I had a sudden sharp pain in my palm that
was so painful I couldn't touch it. A black spot appeared. I immediately
considered evil influence, but I was not afraid for I stand in
the blood of Christ. Prayed with a friend, the pain went away and
the black spot nearly gone now (a day later). It was a blessed
day."
