Pentecostals Of Henderson,TN/.Ashcraft
There is nothing in the world like a miracle to get people excited. In fact, when people hear of miracles happening one of two things are going to happen. Some will shake their heads and say, “I don’t believe it. We live in the 21st century and miracles don’t happen today!”
Still others will say, “If it happened to them, it can happen to me. I have got to see this for myself! Maybe I can have a miracle too.” There is nothing in the world to get you excited like a miracle happening in your own life. To see it happen to others will get your battery charged! It will make your heart beat fast! It will get you excited! However when a miracle happens in your life, to you, it will change your life forever! You will never be the same! Miracles were taking place, recently in Henderson, Tennessee. The Pentecostals of Henderson were experiencing their own personal Pentecost as God was touching hearts and changing lives. Many times God uses the man of God to bring about a miracle. During the services one of the ladies in the church desired prayer for her body. She was experiencing tremendous swelling in her feet. This had been going on for sometime and was quiet painful. She was in need of a touch from God in her body. Now the Bible tells us to call for the Elders of the Church when we are sick and in need of healing. They are to anoint with oil in the name of Jesus and to pray the prayer of faith. The Bible promises that God will make them whole. This Sister came to Evangelist Gary Ashcraft and asked him to pray for her. She was in desperate need of a miracle in her body. Evangelist Ashcraft prayed the prayer of faith for her. He asked God, in faith believing, to take the swelling from her feet. After the service she was leaving the church with a friend and noticed her shoes were falling off her feet. God had already begun a miraculous work in her body. The swelling, which had been there for so long, had already gone down to the point her shoes were too large for her feet. Over a year later she testifies that her feet are their normal size. The swelling hasn’t returned at all. Along with the swelling leaving the pain in her feet is also gone. She is giving God the glory for her own personal miracle. The awesome fact is this; all of the miracles that take place do not only happen to the physical body. We can also experience a miraculous healing of the soul. Jesus put it this way: Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,” When a person realizes their need for a miracle there is a miracle for them. Repentance allows us to ask for and receive forgiveness for the sin in our lives. After we have repented we need to be water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of those sins. When Peter preached, in Acts 2:38, he promised if we obeyed these instructions we would receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. This is the experience that Jesus spoke of when He said you must be born again of the water and the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God, in John 3:3-5. A birth is a miracle. A new birth is even a greater miracle. Just like the Pentecostals of Henderson, Tennessee received both physical and spiritual healings in their lives, you too can have a miracle. Why don’t you believe God for a miracle in your life today? Don Doran
