Letter From a 72-Year-Old, Amazing Woman

The following is from an email I received from a sweet friend who at the age of 72, went on her very first missions trip. She saw amazing miracles happen at her hands:

at the conference(there were pastors from equador, guatemala, mexico, canada, all over USA), God gave me visions for people prior to my prayers for them- the anointing NEVER left the entire five days...and even on the plane on return flight, i was able to release a lady from the fear of flying..( she'd had to have the dr. come the night before to sedate her- she was so afraid.) i showed her in the Bible about the "spirit of fear"- prayed for her- let her know the Father's love for her-she was catholic- she kept kissing my hand and cheek and asking if i were an angel.(there was only one seat left on the plane when i boarded, and it was beside her. she would never fly alone. her daughter would have to fly with her, then get on another plane to return home, then fly back again to get her mom!) and this woman was set free, baby- free!

the hostess of the home where we stayed(they were all bilingual) called when i got home crying, sayin how the family missed me so much, they walked around the house all day crying.....(i had spoken into their lives; the Lord had given me words for all five of them...incredible insight..the man had NEVER had a touch from God and Jesus came to him as i prayed and put a band of love around his neck- i then read him that scripture i had come to the conference with- from hosea 11;4)
the mother had told me earlier that when i left their home for the conference each day, she would go into the bedroom where my shoes were, put them on, walk around the house praying, "Lord, make me like patricia. make me like patrica." (traci, that's how STRONG the anointing was! theyhad never seen the prophetic- the healings.) it was truly like being Jesus in patricia's skin..lance preached a great sermon two weeks ago on "the church with skin on it." i sooo wanted to be that church!
one morning while we were there, he preached about the breath of God- how man was but dirt until God blew into him the breath of life..when the paralyzed lady came to me for prayer, God told me to breathe on her! i asked, "Lord, are you sure??? i should ask her if i can breathe on her?" she said i could, so i took her limp arm, breathed on it and cried out, "la vida! la vida! la vida de dios!" and that's when she was healed...(i mean, just the usual Jesus stuff" happened!) another lady's jaw was healed. she said when i prayed, it felt like God numbed it with novacaine. shane prayed for a man who could not see across the room, and he was healed.

when i went to pray for a man whose leg was shorter than the other,(i had a word of knowledge for him) the Lord told me before i got to the man that he did not feel worthy of prayer...as i was walking back to him, God gave me a vision of Jesus walking along the shore. he put an easel on the sand and told everyone from the church to come up and paint on the easel all the things they were carrying in a knap sack....those things, traci, were unworthiness, sins, etc.when all the people in the congregation had painted their heaviness, Jesus ripped the pictures off the easel and threw them into the "sea of forgetfulness to be remembered against them no more!" when i told the man the vision, he began to cry and told me that his leg was so messed up because he had lived a life with gangs when he was young..he did not think God had forgiven him for that past life...and THAT was why God gave me the vison for him- to know it was ALL ON THE CROSS! he was worthy! when his leg grew out and the pain left, he went running to the stage to testify...

at age 72, this was my FIRST mission trip, and i do not think it will be my last. lance's preaching was really anointed...he taught every day, three times a day- the fire tunnels were incredible..so many set free from the lie of the enemy that sin had caused God's judgment with katrina, then the oil spill...we left them all with the truth of God's love for them!

gotta get to bed.. it's almost 2:30-...reminds me of n.o. i would go to bed at 2, get up every day at 6.... totally sustained by love and the Spirit! need to work on my lesson tomorrow for the mentor group sat., then can't wait to read your story! will give you some feedback soon. was sooo great at the youth group tonight...i got to pray for soooo many kids..i have such a "thing" with Jesus re: short legs growing out- one girl's leg grew out even with the other; also prayed for a girl whose hand was bruised, blue/swollen from injury; pain left and hand was same color/size as other..God just MOVED mightily again...how i love those young people...how i love them, love them, love them!

Healings and Passports

I hardly get on here anymore to write, so I have missed reporting numerous wonderful things. Let's see...backs have been healed, ankles, broken bones, and more importantly, broken hearts. My husband saw a lady in Ohio who was on a walker, crippled by a stroke...but after prayer, she straightened up and walked without any problem. Her family and friends were amazed as she showed no more signs of the stroke.

My family and I felt compelled to get our passports, so we miraculously got an appointment at a post office within 30 minutes, where people typically were having to wait 2 to 3 weeks for an appointment. We got to the counter and filled out paperwork...the clerk told my husband that he had the wrong birth certificate and there was no way it would be accepted. He suggested submitting it while my husband got the certified copy. He also said that passports were taking about 8 weeks to process. Long story short, we received all of our passports (even husband's) in the mail 11 days later!! Wow!
