The warmth of Jesus heals at any temperature…even -22F

This Friday, we partnered with the free church and handed out hot coffee, hot chocolate and cookies to people on the streets. We went out in shifts because it was so cold we could only be out for 30 minutes. The group at the church would be intercessors for the people on the streets. I have had a cold for about a month now and am trying to get rid of it by staying in the warmth so I decided not to go out into the cold. After the 3rd shift, people were getting really cold and they couldn’t feel their toes, but the 4th shift of people (Camille, Aria, Rex, and Johanna) decided to go out one last time.

I started to intercede for them and after awhile I all of a sudden felt my hands burning. It was really strange because there really isn’t a reason for them to burn, so I thought it must be from the Lord. I recognized that when I pray for healing sometimes my hand starts to have the same feeling so I started praying to partner with them, if indeed they were praying for healing. I had my doubts but I thought it wouldn’t hurt.

When the group came back, I asked how it went and they said they had prayed for this guys ankle and it was healed! I was like, “NO WAY!” Rex said as he prayed his hands were burning and he felt the tendon being healed in his hand.

It’s funny because I was thinking earlier that day that it would be cool during intercessory prayer to sense something going on with the group serving coffee and be able to partner with them in prayer and it happened! We serve an awesome God! I pray that through the healing it makes this guy realize that there is a God that loves him.
