Episode 4: The Essex Dynamos with Raj Hare and Dasnee
from Equipped to Heal
39m 26s
Raj Hair and Dashnia Nurse share powerful testimonies of how God uses healing as a vital part of evangelism. Raj, a minister in the UK, explains that healing mirrors Jesus' mission of restoring the broken, and her personal experience of being healed from rheumatoid arthritis deepened her faith. Her transformative time in Brazil, where she witnessed profound healings—ranging from physical symptoms to emotional trauma—showed her that God’s power is consistent and available everywhere. She emphasizes building relationships through kindness and conversation as a gateway to prayer, and encourages disciplined spiritual practices like listening for God’s word and practicing evangelism in church settings. Dashnia, a nurse, shares how a moment of divine healing in a prayer meeting sparked her commitment to prayer ministry. She was led to pray for a woman with jaundice based on spiritual insight, and later discovered the woman had no tumors on MRI, confirming God’s work beyond medical limits. Both women highlight that healing is not just physical—it includes emotional restoration and the demonstration of God’s love. Their stories encourage believers to step out boldly, trusting that God uses every person to bring hope, healing, and a visible display of His kingdom in every community.
Welcome to the fourth episode of Equip To Heal. This is a podcast that is all about encouraging
and equipping Christians to move into the healing ministry. It's great. Today we're joined
by two amazing women, both from Essex at the moment, Raj Hair, who's going to be sharing
how she uses healing with evangelism. And from Dashnia Nurse, who's going to tell us a story
about how God used her to bring healing and hope in her workplace. It's great that you
can join us. I hope you enjoyed this week's episode.
Hello Raj. Hi Alissa. Thank you very much for joining us. How are you today? Well, thank
you. It's quite nice and warm here. I'm doing very well. How are you my lovely? I am very
well. Thank you. Yeah. So it would be good if you could just introduce yourself briefly
for our listeners. So they know something about you and where you live and what you do.
Sure. So okay, I'm Raj. I'm married to a lovely man called Andy. We have three children
two here, which is Nina Sam and one who's with the Lord, which is still part of the family.
So I at the moment, I am in full-time ministry. My heart is evangelism and healing. I'm also
part of, I'm part of several other ministries. I'm part of a guy, a green fighter, which you
had Joe moved a few weeks ago. Yes, that's right. How come I do the UK side of that? I'm also
involved in a women's conference called B where we do stuff in the UK, but also in Albania
and off to Romania as well. So yeah, there is stuff and I'm also doing a student ministry.
So I do travel as God opens doors and I go into teaching, teaching on evangelism, healing,
whatever Lord needs or what I need to do. Brilliant, brilliant. And obviously we've met
and know each other through Agape Freedom Fighters in the UK. As you said, with the amazing
Joe Moody and the rest of an amazing team across the UK. And obviously, our American and
European friends, I'm trying to think of where all the countries are that Agape is now
in, but it's brilliant. It's great, great family to be part of. Really is, really is.
It's lovely to be around groups of people who, it's like iron sharp and sion, we sharpen
each other, we grow and we have lots of fun. So it's not all, there's no other, love each
other. And it is what it's called Agape Freedom Fighters. We love each other and we love,
we love loving people. We're also fighting for people's freedom in terms of healing, terms
of wholeness. So it's just an honor to be part of it, really. Yeah, great. So Raj, perhaps
you could start off by telling me about why you think healing's important and why, why
for you healing and evangelism go together? Okay, I think healing, ultimately it's what
Jesus did, isn't it? I mean, he came to do, he says, he came to the brand of the broken
artist and said the cab spree and became prison and he'll be sick. So healing's really what
Jesus did. I always think about the story when John is in prison, John the Baptist is in
prison, in Matthew and he goes, he says to, he tends his disciples to speak, speak to
Jesus and say, are you the one we're, I'm waiting for should we write someone out and Jesus
told them, tell them, tell him what you're seeing, the healing and leopards are being cleansed
and eyes are being opened. And so I think that was part of what the kingdom displayed and
these kind of stuff that Jesus wanted to do. And as disciples of he, I think we're all
cool to do it. We're cool to bring in the kingdom and we're all cool to imitate Christ.
And if that's what he did and it was important to him, then it should be important to us.
And for me, in terms of evangelism, it's, I think people, we're in a generation where
people see stuff. I thought that's why so many people are going to new age and not going
to the church. And so I really am passionate that we get back. We do these things, signs
and wonders, words of knowledge, prophecy that we move in those gifts and to show people
that Jesus is real. He is the one. He is the way to the Father. So I think when I go out
and do evangelism, to be able to pray for the sick and better than I want to say to you
for years. I've always, I've always did evangelism from, from point of became a Christian
because I was so grateful for my life. And so evangelism is important, but I never bought
evangelism and healing together. I, there were separate things and I just would go and
try to persuade people into the kingdom. And God used that and it did work, you know?
And now I feel like having this extra kind of gift or you move in this thing that God
has put on all of us has made it and so much more easier to be able to offer them something
for them to encounter God in a way that is a game changer is such a privilege. And just
great that we're not just persuading people with words, but God has actually given us
power to use to who he is. And yeah, so I think it's really important that we, so, so,
so what got the, what added the heal, what, what experience or how did God bring the
healing in alongside your existing kind of passion for evangelism, Roger?
Well, I think a lot of it, I mean, it's really weird because I believed healing for myself.
So when I became a Christian, I moved in with Christian lady and she, she was into the
whole whole faith, hate, faith healing and you know, money and prosperity, she's been to
all that quite a bit. But she taught me and disarmed me in that we don't have to be sick.
And so we don't have to have headaches, we don't have cold. And so I was disciples believing
if it's not from God, then I don't have to have it. So I, I literally, I rarely got ill.
I rarely, I just believe that whenever felt symptoms come on me, I would, I would resist
them and just say I'm not having it. And at one point, I got here. I had a room with
arthritis once. I woke up one morning and couldn't, I couldn't move. And then it signed
out from the GP that I had rheumatoid arthritis. And I just believe, I believe that Jesus could
heal. And I got prayer every opportunity. I just completely knew God was going to do it.
That to the day before my last tablet, he, I got healed in a small little group. We didn't
have much of a face, you know, this group, but we just prayed the next morning, I woke up
completely pain free. So I had that personal belief that God could heal. And so when I,
it was, I think the key thing for me is going to Brazil in 2016. So it's in hospital and
I were leading the church. We planted it several years ago. And we were leading it. I got
to a point where I was a bit, just a bit like, there's got to be more. And I used to,
I didn't administer before I was married and traveling and preaching. And so I had stopped
doing that. And I was one morning, I was at home. And I was just saying to the Lord, I said,
Lord, you know, if it's ever you'll welcome me to travel again, I'd love that. But also
he spent in being home as wise, you know, and then that afternoon, I have a phone call from
a friend who basically says to me, I've just come back from Brazil. And I really feel
that God wants you to go. And I'm going to pay for you to go. Now, wow, this guy around
the clock, I never heard of. So I Googled this guy around the clock. And the thing I loved
about him was he just administered good love. I just liked that about him because to me,
love is really important. And so I went to Brazil thinking that I was thinking I'm going
to evangelism, which is my lane. I'm comfortable with that. Not realizing all about healing.
So I was horrified when it's all about healing. And I was quite, I felt quite out of my
depth. This was on it. And I remember just God having to do stuff in me. I had to give
God commission to to use me. I did kind of get over myself as the constant thing that God
would tell me right, get over yourself. And so I just kind of like, as I got over myself
and I gave Holy Spirit host commission to do what he wanted to do in me. I started
to see healing. And I saw initially just in the first couple of days that one of them
was just like headaches and shoulders. It wasn't stuff that hadn't already seen. And
so wasn't that kind of like, and then I see a really amazing healing. But yeah, I was
going to say if you saw a really amazing healing, I would love to do that. But what you were
saying about Randy Clark does remind me because because I'm my, I had a similar experience
of going there in 2014, which is where I first met Joe. And that's what really, really
struck me is, is Randy said, look, whatever you do, I want you to love people. If people
come away knowing that they've experienced you loving them, whether however God chooses
to work or not or whatever happens in terms of healing, you can control whether people
are loved or not and so I found that so helpful because that's what Jesus was like, isn't
it? He operated out of compassion and love and if that's what we need to learn to do.
So anyway, tell, I can't wait to hear about this amazing miracle you saw in Brazil.
I mean, we did other see loads of stuff but this is one that really was a game change for me.
So I was, you know, they line you up and you share words of knowledge and he was like,
God, it was because partly you're under Randy's anointed so I was getting words of knowledge
galore and I hadn't got words of knowledge before I don't think but particularly while I was
there, I was just getting these words of knowledge and so I had a word of knowledge of a lump
on and you can't see me but on the right arm and a lump whether to crease the elbow is and I
could feel it in my arm so I, you know, I knew I didn't have a lump but I knew it was a word of
knowledge so I lined up I shared my word of knowledge and then I had a row of people, a cute people
and I sorry to pray for them and my translator translated and they got skin allergies.
Yes, I did give, I haven't got face with this but I haven't suffered from the ex-mer and everything
I thought, you know, I was like, oh, I have got face with this and I just started to pray,
I just remembered, just, just go love them and get over yourself and look at them
from a God love and God wants a minute or two so I just started to pray and
person by person and I started to see there, I mean, I started to see them get healed as one girl,
this is not the actual, so one girl and she had real like, kind of wheels, like real scars from
scratching and by the time I got to her, I was like, my face level had gone from zero, like
minor zero to, and hi, and so I got so to pray for her and I felt the Lord say and because it's
about working with the Holy Spirit, I want to pray for them big, and I felt the Holy Spirit say,
ask her if there's anyone in her family like, just generational, so I said to her,
that anyone in your family has got skin problems, this is through a translator bearing in mind.
And yes, my dad has leprosy, had leprosy so I knew instantly that this was a generational thing,
I had to break off this young get lady, so I started to pray for, I'd cut off any generational stuff
and then literally before my eyes I like to have skin gone red, yeah, and just changed, and it was
as incredible as well, so then I'm standing there, so I'm thinking I must have got this word in
all these wrong, right? Because so someone with a lump on their arm having come, and then literally
they're very, and so I continue to pray for people on my queue, and then the very last person
was this young man, probably in his late twenties tour guy, and so he has the tumour, but he hasn't
got one tumour left, so he's got five tumours, the only one you can actually see is this one
in his elbow, but you've got to push the skin down to see it, so I, and my translator has to go,
because someone else, because he's sometimes shared translator, so I'm like, talk to this guy,
he doesn't understand a word of English, and I don't talk a little bit of Portuguese, I haven't
got much Portuguese down my belt, so I stopped praying for him, and I said, oh sorry, let me go back a
bit, she did, I felt the whole space to say to ask how long, how long has he had these tumours,
sorry, basically, and he said two years ago, and then I felt the whole space to ask him,
does anything significant happen two years ago, so he asked him, he said he's grandma died,
I just sent a trauma there, and sorrow there, and then my translator went, so I started to pray,
just ministering to his heart, and it wasn't tackling the tumours, it was tackling his heart,
and so I'm just praying, he hasn't got clearly what I'm saying, but I'm just praying for his heart,
and just any trauma, any testosterone sadness, what I can't remember, I pray, I just pray,
and then I'm seeing him weeping, bear with him on, he can't understand a word I'm saying,
yes, yeah, so no hope for his doing something, so grab the answer, the translator said,
could you ask him what's going on, and he said he feels peace in his heart, and that's,
you know, it's just beautiful, and then I just said, what about their lumps, and he looked at me,
and he goes, they go on, like, of course they go, look at me, don't you know, and you know,
why did I listen, I grabbed his arm, because what I was going to, you know, you have to get over
yourself and realize, God wants to use everyone, and if you can use me, making use of anyone,
I remember just, I just blown away, and I came back to the UK, knowing that my God heals,
and he's the same God in Brazil, is the same God as in the UK, and I just, it just ruined me,
I just couldn't go back to normal church, you know, just doing meetings or we sing some songs,
we have a sermon, and there's no power, you know, and I just, I just wanted to pursue healing,
I wanted to see the kingdom of heaven come, invade my life, and so there, that's when I then bought
the evangelism healing together, I realized, and they go hand in hand, and I just realized that I
should be, I should be showing, I should be praying for the sick, just as much as outside the church,
because in times of church, and sometimes as easy as doing outside the church, you know, be gay, that's how I've got,
I will add, that's brilliant to you, so how have you seen that workout? What have you seen God do?
I guess especially outside of the church, because as you say, it's almost easier sometimes to
pray for people who have no, they haven't had that church experience, so that an
expectation that, you know, maybe God doesn't heal, and they're, and they're just open, so I don't know,
what, what have your experience been? I was helping a church who does, we're doing healing
and streets for years, but they lost a momentum, there wasn't really getting the opportunity,
they were struggling really with the evangelism, so I offered to come alongside them and come to them
months on the street, and they're like, you know, they used to do the mark marks model of chairs,
and they come and stop doing that, and just felt that they just want to be a presence in the area,
so I remember going with a hand full of people, and I was paired myself with the pastor of the church,
and we went, and I saw this couple chatting away, and they were stroking someone else's dog,
and I've got a dog, and I, a dog is a great form of evangelism, if you want to approach people,
get into conversation, so I didn't have my dog with me, sometimes I do take my dog a little
rosy with me, but at that point I didn't, but I went out and started to chat about dogs, you talk
about everyday things, I noticed the guy had a walking stick, and I don't, you know, don't get me wrong,
I don't go for everyone who's a wheelchair, you know, you gotta be led by the spirit, you know,
it's not, yeah, so I can't like notice, so I've got a chance to go, so I asked him, like, what's your
hackney got this walking stick, and this is after a conversation of talking about things,
everything and only thing, okay, build relationships on trends, and have a business relationship, build
them rapport, and I said, what's wrong with you sticking, he said, I was, he had a kind of
hip replacement, and he still has pain from it, and I just said, look, you know, I kind of dropped,
I said, I look, I'm a Christian, and I, I'd love to pray for you, I just believe God can heal you,
you know, which you might have prayed for you, and he said, yeah, because I built that kind of
rapport with him, I, I can't describe it as, yeah, and when do you say, when you go into a town,
and you just find the person of peace, and for me, that's what it's like, evangelism, you go down
the street, you go in the shop, you find a person of peace, the person who is kind of having
conversation, you chat in a way with you, almost some people over disclose, they're telling you,
you're a live store in their belly, you know, you, for me, that's a sign of the person of peace,
and that's where God tried that person's open, so I just said to him, come and pray, and he agreed,
and he's pain levels about eight, and we prayed, and the pain was going down and down, and then
it went down to about a one, and then I got the past as wise to pray the last bit, and while she
was praying, I heard the Lord say, because listening, it's not just always about the healing, it's about
the whole person, and it's just the Lord being to me and telling him that I'm broke, that got
that I'm proud of him, and that I'm, he's a good man, and just as a father, I'm proud of him,
so I went to finish praying, the complaint, all the pain went, he's completely healed, his
partner was kind of blown away, and she's a bit like a reserve, but at that point, she's grown away,
and I think to him, look, God sometimes talks, and I start God's day, I don't know what your
natural father is like, but I just want you to
know the god as a father really loves you and's really proud of you and you
and that's just whatever god says that you're a fifth man and god sees that and he
just starts and this guy's in his mid-50s he starts crying on the streets of
Rayleigh and so it's quietly died there and then and then his partner basically
says that he was adopted so he never ever got to father so that just the
things like that just God the whole plan and then the partner ends up getting
getting because I got that word and she's into new age so we ended up having a great
conversation and ended up praying with her so it was just just stuff like that
it's just it's it's kind of like offering to say I remember like I gave
I give god permission every day and I said god okay god I'm available you know
whatever you want to do with me today just have your way I remember one morning I
did that and I was going to I had it had a meeting I just moved to meeting I was
going to Aldi to your food shop and I had an hour quickly to the food shop before
I get home to pick up the kids and so I'm doing my
am Aldi's job and I see this lady who's walking and she looks like she's in a
lot of pain and she's obviously with her mum as well is more elderly and I'm
thinking I haven't got the time here so I'm just going to keep
doing my shopping but I kept every aisle I went to she was there and I kept
looking and she didn't look very she looked quite like the person
of peace that I was describing she was very smiling and you know looked a bit
not the most approachable person so I say and so I just carried him to my
shopping but literally Alice it was like oh my goodness every aisle she was
there she was there she was there I was like oh lord and I kept bailing it
and bailing it and then I get to the tail and she's got a couple of
tails away and I feel it you know you feel just feel like conviction and that oh
and then I come out of the shop and I'm loading my car shopping in my car and I
just said to God okay if you want me to pray for her then when I go to put this
trolley bag she'll come out the door so I'm taking my time here I'm just
taking my time you know putting this shopping and thinking you know by the time
I so I go to a let you get to the door and she comes down
and I just said to her look I'm a Christian and I just noticed you're in pain
and I I told the store I said that I told God I noticed you in the shop because
she saw me looking at her and I said and I said but you know when I'm at
then I know she and I will off to pray for you I kind of pray for you and I'm
mum basically says yeah she got so much healthy shoes so at that point she
did the hip pain so we prayed for a hip it went down and then it completely
went then there and then the mum looking at just
she was full of faith I think the mum was a Christian
and then the and then I said the mum says oh yeah can you pray for my
knee so I pray for her knee and she hit like a click
and she went right she started to click and honestly it was amazing so
her knee gets healed the daughter and I just I couldn't miss the opportunity
easily and I just said to them oh God loves you and he just wants you to know
that he's there for you I didn't leave him for the Lord
you know sometimes I do sometimes I don't sometimes I just let him
encounter God and God's power but they know it's Jesus and they know it's
like God did it so yeah so it's yeah it's just an honor it's just it's just
making some available and offering and just talk to people normally I said
build relationship if people aren't open they're not going to be a
speech pray basically but if the altitude is a reason that they're
open and yeah so that's what I was going to ask was did you
you know there'll be people listening to this will be in a range of
different places you know some people go you know
going for it in terms of praying for healing and
but but also there'll be some people listening who are who are not quite sure
or hearing the stories and they'd love God to use them to to bring
that expression of his love and his power that just demonstrates how
beautiful and amazing Jesus is to people through healing what you know
that's brilliant advice you've given about being open and
building relationship and with people but is there anything else you'd say
to people yeah this this would really help you grow
in pursuing healing I think doing stuff like the
Randy Clark training and the yeah teaches I mean
let me just tell you my doing it when I used to play for the sick
especially as a church lead I said you know because everyone was exposed to
totally the see the church leaders got all the gifts right and I think
that's gonna heal Jason James you know go to the elders right
we're all elders in some way you know and when you were
placing maturity in some ways we're all leading someone so I seem to
read it like on a Sunday of people call it to me is there or could you
pray and I secretly pray you know I never ask them is then being
changed and yeah yeah same pray did my job to the
book I run off to the next person and so doing the Randy Clark
training and the model of five steps which I'm sure read your book
and read I mean read your book will be great as well and just really
people of doing this stuff and so the five steps
and doing that asking how much is the pain listen to the Holy Spirit
finding out like you know is it and for me like some people struggle with
whole listening to Holy Spirit cultivate your relationship with God
God says my you know my sheep him a voice and they follow
cultivate one of the things Joe Moody is introduced in us a team
and think that she does regularly is ask God for word
for today and that is a great way of cultivating your
ability to hear God for yourself because often it's easier to hear
for others than yourself but if you cultivate this
in the morning you wake up and say look what what you want to say to me what's
my word for today and you start and you start looking at the words that
gives you and you look on the dictionary you realize they're just
pointing at words so growing in heaven God for yourself because it all
starts with you and him you know he doesn't just want you to
work he wants you to so growing your intimacy with him growing your
ability to hear from him so when you're out on a street and then you
are you hear you've learned to hear this voice
and this becomes a lot easier and one of the other things that I would say is
on a Sunday I really believe Sunday Sunday needs and I
would not do that at the moment but it could do it through
zoom. I often say to people when I teach on
evangelism is practice on a Sunday I feel church is a place to practice
evangelism and how that is learned to be friendly
to listen to simply about being friendly like having compassion and love which
is what you've had like compelting so learning to talk to people you know
often some of the people say church is some people aren't
church is friendly but we need to be friendly and we learn
to talk and start conversations ask people questions
and do it in church get you know don't just go talk to people you
know every Sunday talk to someone you don't know and ask questions
being but really being trusted in them you know
as a way for them as people so good and get to know them and then
then take the next step and then the next week say Lord who do you want me to
talk to and that's you've been led by this bit the next step is Lord what
word do you want to say to that person if you've got a word that you can give me
for that person and it's just grew up and then you're going to make
mistakes but just make mistakes right so but it's just
learning and practice but do it on the Sunday
because I feel that's what I feel strongly Sunday that's what it's about
that's growing then we can go out and do it out
absolutely yeah as they say it should be the training place for the
marketplace the Sunday morning or the the church gathered that's that's
such good advice I know with the turning one of the things
I try and remember to do always when I'm outside it's just practice smiling at
people and just um whether I'm going to engage them in
conversation or not I just want them to know that
somebody loves them and there's hope so and you can do that by just how as you
say how you smile and see people it's that's brilliant advice
Raj would you just briefly pray for folks that are listening
uh as we finish off that will be wonderful
so far that is a pleasure for your children I thank you that um
that god if you can use me and I um you know
I am most people so you you you you you you the foolish things for this world
the shame that why but thank you that you if you can use me you can use anyone
and I pray for the god that every live the enemy that has blocked people every
lack of self-worth or feeling that that work a lack of word in us
would just be gone in Jesus name and father you you just showed people how much
that you are for them the god and I thank you god that um you want to use
everyone you said Lord the the great commission wasn't just for a few
it's for everyone and I pray today look God that your children
will step out and go therefore go to all nations
they will heal the sick cast that demon look God they will cleanse the
letters Lord God I pray for the god they will believe
that you are the same god in Brazil and Africa and every other place where
they hear about miracles you're the same god they hear
and that you say you want to use them Lord God and I pray that they would just
say yes to you and rather than they will pray and grab
opportunity there's going to be so much opportunity
once it's locked and it's been
as opportunities now look on. So I pray that people will grab opportunities. They would be so in
love with you and know your love for them, that that would compel them to speak to others, to love
another, to see people the way you see them. So Holy Spirit, we just come and anoint your children
of fresh with the gift of evangelism, with the gift of healing right now to anoint their hands,
give them ears to hear what the Spirit is saying, what the eyes to see what your God to Lord activate
your church, bring them alive in you, your God, in Jesus name, amen. Amen.
So this morning my husband, he's works at NHS and he was on a call with a work colleague
and she's a Christian with lady and so she was complaining about having a toothache and
can't go to dentist because you know and so trying to do everything natural this lady is a Christian
but she hadn't thought about she could do because what have you prayed because all I do but
doesn't seem to go so then he says he says look my wife's here can we pray to you and we prayed for her
the pain was like the seven and you've got maybe got to pray more than one so I've prayed
about three times and then I said to her they're very young and we've prayed off some stuff
of the Lord brought some stuff and I said to her that the important thing is you the pain's gone now
to it yeah and I said you've got to hold on to that I think a lot of people they get healed and
the pain tries to come back and then and I just said to her you've got to stand in your
feeling you've got to when it tries to come back you say no this is not mine not my pain to have
and particularly when I had the rheumatoid arthritis I mean it's been 20 years and but the
twinges tried to come but I said no I've been healed and so just even this morning God gave me
opportunity which you know stuck down so brilliant brilliant loads of opportunities and just be bold come
on great that's brilliant Raj you're one of my heroes thank you very much it's been wonderful
to have your time with you this morning thank you God bless bye bye
hi it's that part of the pod where we've got a story this week and it's great that I got to talk
to Dashney a nurse who shared how God met her and used her to bring really quite a surprising healing
as I was just said my name is Dashney I'm I work as a nurse I've studied nursing in South Africa
and then I moved over to England 15 years ago I've been doing nursing now for almost 20 years
and in the last few years I trained and qualified as a nurse and Droscapist so that's me so far
wow and you work at a local NHS hospital is that right yeah I work in one of the big NHS Trust in
London right great and so Dashney you were you were telling me the other day a fascinating story
of how God used you in healing you just want to share that with folks yes sure I mean in order for
me to share how I have learned to pray for people in healing I'll first quickly tell you about
my story yes please yeah it's about two years now although I've been a Christian for about 24
years two years ago I went to a meeting where you know one of the things where they were
delivering a lot of healing and prayer for healing and on that particular day I was really
struggling with my back but you know as a nurse it's like every nurse has back problems because
coming from the back in the day you never use manual handling and it was like just parts and parcel
of you so you just carry on you take some anti-inflammatories and you carry on but this particular day
it was so bad that I was even struggling to stand and when the preacher was in front and said
there's someone here who's got a lot of back pain I thought you know what I'm going to go through
it I'm sure there's loads of people with back pain but I'm going to go in the front to receive this
and just as I got to the front and got prayed for I felt the power of God just goes for me like
electricity and the pain was gone and from that day to now I never I might get other pains like
you know when you try to do too much on the treadmill something and get some leg pain but never
back pain you know because I believe God had totally healed me that day but what happened was
that incident led me to you know when the preacher prayed for me and he began to say to me in a
walk God will use you to pray for others and I never was one who saw myself praying to others I
always was a witness of Christ but I never took the step of faith and prayed for people
but on this one particular incident I was at at the sixth of meeting and I met this lady and I
didn't meet her before can I just just a second Ashley yeah the meeting because I was at the meeting
where you encountered God it was plain cook wasn't it and Joe Moody yes yes and uh and I remember
and what you didn't say is that you were also powerfully filled by the Holy Spirit
it was quite it was quite uh interesting to see how God was moving so I did I think all of us who
were there realized oh my goodness God is doing something in this lady it's going to be fascinating
what happens um so anyway go and carry on you were an assistant you know you know I was going to
stay plain and Joe and Moody you know I wasn't sure whether to drop names but yeah you go ahead

in the world um but anyway you're an assistant's meeting please carry on so um but you know as you
said that the meeting was very pivotal in a lot of things after that in healing and um so when
I was in this meeting I saw this lady and the moment I looked at her it was like I suddenly
saw her and she looked a bit yellow and I thought hmm she a bejorn this you know from my nursing
clinical assessments I'm like she she look a bejorn this so I went ahead of conversation with her

things that I knew clinically to pray and just prayed this and spoke this words over her

her daughter saying do you know my mum was going for this MRI because she had already had they
had found a tumor and they were planning to see how far it was and what they're going to do

know that I was praying you know because if someone said to me you know what prayed for me I've
got cancer you all you suddenly feel a little bit like okay I'm praying for cancer a lot
but this was that just praying because you just led by the spirit and just doing it from that
sense of the spirit there was nothing of me in my flesh it was a complete being led by the spirit
