I was doing a meeting in Wisconsin.  One guy had brought another guy to the meeting.  The man, who had been brought, was a Baptist pastor in South America and he hated Charismatic meetings.  The man who brought him was a supporter of his; he was in fact one of his largest contributors.  The man told the pastor that he was to come to the meeting and the pastor didn’t feel like he had much of a choice.  Now imagine the pastor’s attitude in coming to this meeting that I’m holding where I’m praying for sick people.  He was mad at me.  In fact I noticed he was mad at me about half way through
the meeting.  There was no smile on his face, instead there was incredible anger and a look that said,  “I’m going to kill you.”  I could tell, even though he was my brother in Christ, he wanted me to go to heaven before him.  I realized that I’d better stop looking at him because he was destroying my faith.  So I stopped looking on that side of the room.  I glanced over at him once and he had this look that just was so angry.  I was thinking, “I don’t know what I’m going to do but I’m going to get out of this room before he catches me.” At the end of the meeting we started praying for people. There was a lady who had an allergy that made her life miserable and the Lord healed her right there.  It shocked everyone in the room.  The pastor saw that.  So I invited the ministry team to come up and pray.

People were up getting prayer when I noticed the pastor getting up.  Now he was not looking at the door, he was looking at me as he was walking.  I thought to myself “oh no here we go.  He’s coming to beat me up.” I tried to stand in my most “holy” position as he walked up.   He stood in front of me and said, “Heal Me.”  I was so surprised I said “What?”  He told me “I want to be healed right now.”  When I asked him what was wrong with him he said; “Well I have a stomach problem and my knee is killing me, and I want to be healed right now.” He didn’t even ask if I would pray for him. He just wanted to be healed.   So I invited the Holy Spirit to come.  I told him “you realize that I can’t heal you, so let’s just wait for the Lord to do it.”  We just sat there and I watched him for a while.  I told him “I’m not going to do anything unless the Lord shows up.”  He asked, “What does that mean?” I just said, “You’ll find out as we go” The Lord started ministering to him. He was standing with his arms out and his eyes closed.  His arms start shaking.  I asked him if he could feel that.  He said “feel what?” I told him to
open his eyes and look.  He opened his eyes and looked at his arms like they were not his.  He asked, “How is that happening?” He looked at his arms like they were something not attached to him.  I told him he was feeling the Holy Spirit. It still wasn’t clicking though, and he said “but I have no control over my arms and I can’t feel that.”  I assured him that it was okay and told him to relax.   He also broke out in this profuse sweat.  It was running down his face and collecting on both sides of his chin.  There was so much that it was making a stream of water that made a puddle on his chest. I asked him if he felt hot and his answer was  “No.” He could not get in touch with his own body. Amazingly when I asked him if he felt anything he said, “I don’t feel a thing.” I began asking God what He was doing and God told me “Brian, I’m ministering to him, but he’s not aware of it.  He’s detached so just press in and do what I’m telling you to do.”  God told me to put my hand near his stomach, so I asked his permission and the pastor agreed. The Lord said “tell him I’m going to heal him and then I’m going to make him a healing evangelist and send him back to his country.”  I thought “oh no, what a mess” but I did what God asked me to and I put my hand near his stomach and told him “the Lord is going to heal you and he’s going to make you a healing evangelist and then he’s going to send you back to your country as a revivalist.”

He was just shaking and I asked him to tell me what he needed healing for.  He said “my stomach hurts and my knee.” The Lord told me to pray for his knee.  So I put my hand down at his knee and grabbed it real quick.  The Lord told me to speak to the knee and command the pain to come off. (See it’s easy when God tells you what to do.) I
said, “In the name of Jesus I command the pain to come off.”  The man moved his leg around for a minute and said, “hmm it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Then God spoke to me and told me, “He’s not telling you, but he has many digestive problems right now
and just start praying for that stuff to come off.”  As I prayed I’m saw pictures of intestines with all this inflamed stuff.  I started commanding the inflammation to come off and his stomach started moving.  The Lord healed him right there on the spot.  Now that was fun.
