Come with us to Day 2 of the Tsévié Festival of Faith and Miracles.
Word us spreading throughout the town and surrounding villages that
Jesus is healing people at "The Place of Trees."
Tonight when we arrive at the grounds thousands of people have already
gathered. But the majority of the multitude arrives after dark. It's
impossible to see the edge of the crowd with the sparce available
lighting.
I teach the people from the Bible story of the blind beggar who cried
out to Jesus with faith and received his sight. Over and over I
emphasized to the people, "There is no god like our God!" Our God
hears the cry of a blind man. Our God talks to beggars. Our God opens
the eyes of the blind. Our God has all power. This God has sent me to
you to tell you that He knows about you. He wants to come to you and
deliver you from the power of the devil."
Faith begins to rise in the hearts of the people. Thousands of people
respond to the message and ask Jesus to come into their lives. It is
moving to see their eagerness to receive Jesus and His new life.
Then I pray for the sick. There are so many. But the power of the Lord
is always present to heal. It is the confidence that I have in the
power of Christ's love that gives me the courage to stand before these
precious people and tell them that God wants to heal them.
After the prayer I tell the people to do what they could not do
before. The multitude turns into a mass of movement as people begin
stretching, bending and walking. Gradually the platform is being
filled with people ready to give a testimony to their healing miracle.
A man has been under a juju curse for 10 years, sick, tormented and
unable to be delivered. He says, "During the prayer I felt something
leave my body. I am now healed and Jesus has come to live in me."
A mother comes with her three year old child. The baby was born with
epilepsy. During the prayer he was having a seizure. But suddenly the
boy became calm and he is healed."
Many who were crippled are now demonstrating their healing. They run,
jump, rejoice and thank God for their miracle.
jump, rejoice and thank God for their miracle.
A young girl was bringing her epileptic sister to the Festival for
healing. But before she could come she fell very ill. People carried
her to the Festival and the epileptic sister also came along. During
the prayer both sisters were completely healed and came to give
testimony.
A football player had become paralyzed in one leg and could no longer
play. He would weep watching teams play the sport, knowing that he
would never be able to play again. Then he heard that Jesus was
healing people at "The Place of Trees". He came and accepted Jesus.
Now he demonstrates his healing by jogging across the platform with
the gait and confidence of a professional athlete.
The people shout and clap and one after another people give their
testimony of Christ's healing power.
This is a night to remember in Tsévié. The words of truth are echoing
throughout the town, "There is no god like our God. Jesus is His name!"
