Wow.
David (a Danish friend) and I went to Aarhus on Thursday to get a taste of the 'Luke 10' life. An Australian guy and a girl from Italy formed a second team. After 5 days we came back to the Aalborg yesterday to share testimonies with the rest, before we go back to Aarhus again in a week or so.
I'd like to share some things that happened and also give a general explanation of how God works when we follow His instructions in the Bible.
Friday
Friday morning we met with a woman who had a lot of battle going on in her mind. We talked and prayed and she had some revelation of the power in the blood of Jesus when we had communion together. We were able to encourage her to keep to keep fighting, trusting on what Jesus has already finished.
Then we went to the streets to pray for people and many were healed; one of those had a walker/rollator, she had pain from past broken ankles, pain in both knees, hip pain and back pain. She was completely pain free after we prayed.
Around dinner time I prayed that I would like to have 'words of knowledge' more often; right away I got a sharp pain in my foot for a few seconds, it was about the guy who was making our kebab.
In the night we went to something called 'street church' were we could talk and pray with people on the street as well. People were really touched and amazed when they got healed.
Saturday
On Saturday we went to the street all morning until 2PM and among others prayed for a lady in a scooter mobile. She used to have a lot of pain from arthritis in her whole body, but was set free from pain and got more strength and stability. At home she was going to try to walk without the scooter.
At 3PM we organized a gospel meeting with the other team; many people from Greenland came, through the contacts of one of our friends in Aarhus. Many were healed from pains and set free from demons and evil spirits. It was really amazing to be a part of that! There was a lady with astma and cramps in her stomach and the organs around it because of several operations. Because of a dinner appointment, David and I only had 10-15 minutes to pray with her. Right when we started praying it was clear that she had to be set free from spiritual stuff as well. So I prayed, "God, we only have 10 minutes, let's do this :)". She was coughing up slime for some time and the cramps were really bad at first, but after 10 minutes she was completely set free and free of pain. Great!
Sunday and Monday
On Sunday we had more time on the street and met some people at a church service. In the evening we met up to have dinner together. On Monday we baptized a man in someone's bathtub and we went to a home to pray for a man and his wife with dementia.
Our Australian and Italian friend had many meetings with people in their homes and experienced many other things during these 5 days.
It's real
What I mainly want to communicate is this; when we do what Jesus says we should do, just simply act in faith on what the Bible says, God will work through us. So the more you leave behind, the more God will provide. The more you stop planning, the more God will lead you. The more you deny yourself, the more you will see the Kingdom of God take shape in your life.
This time we did take some, we did plan some and I have certainly not totally denied myself, BUT we experienced so much already.
The Bible says we should forget what lies behind and press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call in Christ Jesus. Every time I look at myself, I can't see a way that this life will ever work, but every time I go out to do it, it works. I just know that I want to go the whole way.
