Healing The Sick, Raising The Dead And Destiny
I want to share an amazing testimony that turned out to be a real lesson for me. I received a phone call from a member of the church during a Sunday morning service. Of course, I didn’t answer it because we were on the front row and it wasn’t the time to be on the phone. A few minutes later someone came up to me and said, “There’s woman from the church on the phone, her son was hit by a car and she needs to talk to you.” I stepped out and made the phone call right away. When she answered she began to tell me her son had been hit by a Ford Explorer a few days ago. He didn’t have one bruise or scratch on his entire body. She told me that she knew an angel had stopped the car. Then she said, “This morning I had a vision that you came and prayed for my son.” Please come. It just so happen we were going to be near the hospital doing an outreach to the homeless that afternoon so we said yes will come today.
That afternoon myself along with two other outreach leaders went to the hospital. We walked up to the intensive care unit and there was Sabrina. Her fourteen-year-old son Jesse was now laying in the hospital in an induced coma with brain trauma and his lungs were filling with fluid. The first thing she said to me was “Cathy, you had a prophetic word several years ago for me that my son had a destiny and he already new what it was.” I would like to say to you that I was full of faith after she told me this but my first thought was, “Oh, God, I hope that was you!”
When I walked into the room I could feel so much peace flood over us. We spent some time praying for his healing. Then Sabrina began to tell me that she knew her son could hear what she was saying even though he was in a comma. Suddenly, I just felt an unction from the Holy Spirit to start calling him back. I spoke to him like he could hear me and said, “Jesse you’re not done here. You must come back and fulfill the destiny and call God has on your life here on earth! So I speak now to this body to be healed!” We looked over and his oxygen levels went up slightly. The next day he took a radical turn and started getting well. His recovery was so quickly the hospital staff was shocked? Fox News was looking for a story and heard what happen was suppose to come and interview them both. Two weeks after praying for him in the hospital I was in the middle of the worship service at church when I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around and there he was Sabrina’s son Jesse fully restored. I just wept. Glory to God!
Destiny
Let me just say that I was not the only one praying for Jesse. An email had been circulating and people were praying but through this experience I am learned something. First, if you have an opportunity to pray for someone who is sick, regardless how bad it looks or how you feel, just do it! Every situation is an opportunity for a miracle. Second, I am begining to have dreams about raising the dead and calling people back. I speak to their spirit even though their body cannot respond. This is starting to happen to me more and more. Even now we are praying for people blessing their spirit and they get healed or free? We are all have a body, soul and spirit. I can’t explain all of this or what the Lord is showing me at this time but just that am starting to believe I can raise the dead! Not just reading about dead raising in the Bible or hearing someone’s testimony but really believing God could use me to do this! I am becoming in this particular area what I like to call a believing believer. 
Jeremiah 29:11
The one conclusion I did come to regarding the situation with Sabrina’s son Jesses is there was a young man who had a destiny and the enemy was trying to take it from him. Destiny? When you quote and pray Jeremiah 29:11 your quoting God! What He said and His promise for those He loves. I was standing in the authority and the truth of that reality when I prayed for Jesse. God had a plan for his life and this was not it! He must be healed to fulfill his destiny. If you think I am pulling an old testament scripture out of context then fast forward to the new testament and jump into the one where Jesus promised to give us life and life abundantly. All I know is what the Lord told me in that moment. I realize for some of you this maybe nothing new but for me it was revelation. Revelation always leads to transformation and these experiences are transforming me.
More Confirmation
A few months after this situation with Jesse I had a dream. In the dream someone brought me a red rose, it was dying and I knew it represented someone’s life. It was someone I personally didn’t know. In the dream I layed the rose on the ground, began to call it back to life and declared it would live and not die. Again in the dream somehow I knew the rose represented a woman who had children. I started yelling at the rose, “Come back, you’re a mother you have things to do I call you back in Jesus name!” Suddenly this spirit showed up in my dream and I thought maybe it was a spirit of death? I screamed and woke myself up!
Ok, hang in there with me I know your probalbly thinking I am really strange but the next day something amazing happened. During this time I was one of the directors of our local church school of ministry and was suppose to have class the next day but it was canceled. Since the class was canceled I sent an email encouraging the students to join me in the prayer room. Somehow my email was also copied to a member of the church. When he read that we were going to be praying that night he asked us if we could pray for his boss’s wife. She was in the hospital in another state dying and they did not expect her to live even through the next few hours. He said she had four children and the family was devasted. Oh God! I knew right away this was my dream. We went into the prayer room and I explained my dream and previous experiences to the students. I told them God has a destiny a plan for this woman’s life. Let’s claim Jerimiah 29:11 and rebuke the spirit of death. It was months later that I found out she did in fact live and not die. She was raise off her death bed. Praise God!
Conclusion
Raising the dead and healing the sick was something Jesus did. Why would be surprised that he would ask us to do the same? I don’t know about you but I am still learning and the Lord is teaching me. There are people all around us and God has a destiny for them. Take the authority God has given you to pray for the sick. Stand in the promise of Jerimiah 29:11. Let the Lord change your mind, teach you and transform you into a believing believer. Amen?
