Vinita Oklahoma- Wednesday, April 28, 2010
We have been on the road for three days and already the Lord has used us to bring his kingdom through healings, signs and wonders. Wednesday night we were at New Life Church in Vinita Oklahoma and as soon as we walked in the building the presence of the Lord was there and the sense of his joy and glory was there.
Laura received a word for a man about the Lord bringing restoration to his family and later found out he had recently gone through a divorce and was living with his parents who were getting ready to go over seas for missions. Hannah felt like she needed to speak her testimony of not being alone or forsaken by God over a girl who we then found out name was also Hannah. Angela got the name Cat and a lady came up to her and said her mother went by Cat and was having major back problems and was really struggling with depression. Larissa prayed for a man who came in with a knee brace on and in a lot of pain and after being prayed for felt like there was a heating pad on his knee and was pain free. Ryan and Sarah were able to minister to a young girl who had dealt with cutting and while praying for her, Ryan got a word of knowledge about her father and she told him she didn’t have one. They prayed for her and felt like the Lord had broken holds off her from the enemy about not having a father.
Many more people encountered the Lord that night, and were set free from bondage and encouraged. We had the opportunity to pray over the pastor and received many words for him confirming him doing something new and encouraging him in the steps he’s taking to get there.

We worked with Tim Stark’s Juvenile Diversion program. that helps youth who have gotten in trouble with the law turn around and make better choices. We got to share testimonies, drama’s and dances, and had a time to just talk and pray with them one on one. Some of the kids really opened up to us and shared what was going on in there life while others remained walls. Jordan got to talk to some guys about who Jesus is to him and they really opened up and asked many questions and expressed a great hunger for a God who cares about them. Levi asked some guys what God was to them and was able to share with them the reality of who God is as a father. Melissa got to minister to a girl who had felt like no one had been there for her since her mom died years ago and was really able to be a friend to her and listen to her.
Even though this was a stretching experience for many of us, we saw the Lord use us to plant many seeds and begin to pour into these lives by showing that we care for them and showing them how much their father cares for them. Continue to pray that God use us to penetrate walls in people with the love of Father.
This is so exciting!
