It’s been awhile since I posted here. I got into prophetic art and it lowered my creative writing time. I have a story to publish here of an actual event from Northern California
I am currently writing a book called Witnesses. Only on Chapter 2. Here is one of the stories from this book.
In Northern California a group of youth went out into the marketplace. They had a routine to talk to people in public. Teens, college and career age seldom have counseling skills. Life hasn’t granted them the life experience yet. My wife related to me this story. a young man encountered a gay man. They cordially talked about Jesus. The gay man did not feel judged. The young man who initiated the conversation then asked if he could pray for him. Obviously there was a report build and the gay said sure. No one expected what happened next. Both men felt heat, unusual heat. Young man praying felt it in his hands and arm and the gay felt it go from head to toe. The length of time the two stood there but what happened next both men will recall forever. The gay stood there and expounded on what he witness from what started out to be a friendly causal prayer. Most people are willing to accept prayer because they believe it “does not work.” Almost immediately the gay said to the young minister. “You did not know this, but I am on my way to meet my partner. We were going to meet at the court house. He had plans to marry him that day. He was on his way there now. He said, “I just lost all desire to do that. I also have no desire to be gay at all. It’s all gone.”
These kinds of heavenly invasions in the earth can impact 1-10 people quickly as they are witnesses of heaven invading earth.
She was in her mid-twenties, my guess. A very pretty girl yet with deep internal scars. The scars took all the pretty facial features away. I was surprised by her appearance at the bottom of my ladder. My eye had been on her for over an hour as I could not get this ticker tape to stop yelling “incest” inside my head. I did not know how to handle this.
I had learned that “the ticker tape” was one of Holy Spirit’s way of giving you an assignment. Now she was standing at the bottom of my ladder and my curiosity was somehow about to be satisfied.
I felt this compassion come over me like a heavy blanket as I stood there now speechless. How do I say this? In my silence, although short, she prodded me to finish the question I started before climbing down the tall ladder. My 6’5” frame towered over her as I dug for words. Suddenly I said, “you have been running around the country and it is because of your father!!!” You should have seen her eyes and face change it’s complexion. She stood there as if I hit her hard in the stomach. A dirty strawberry blonde haired girl with a deep dipped white top on, holding a leather coat in her right hand.
Two young men who were digging a ditch for me to run power to a street sign suddenly stopped shoveling. Whispering to each other what my intentions were as they also noticed her for her womanly features. These young men were witnesses to what happened in a 10 minute conversation.
The leather coat was a sale item to raise money. She asked if I needed it. The conversation never went that direction after my “father statement.” It took seconds for this young woman to ask me, who are you? How do you know this? Those questions brought tears to her eyes as fast as it took to ask me who I was. I told her in response that I am Dave, an Electrician working here. “Can I ask you another question? She bobbed her head “yes” as the tears started to stream down her cheeks.
What was happening now was a spiritual condition initiated by God’s knowledge of her life. God had someone in position (me) to intercept her and address her life from HIS place in heaven. I was in an assignment. Within 2 minutes within my heart I was going, “oh wow, oh wow! The display of love was overwhelming as I attempted to hold my act together because of this level of compassion being poured over me.
My second question was, “ it was incest wasn’t it?” REPLY: how did you know that? Who are you? In turn I explained again, I’m just Dave an electrician working here on this restaurant. Then I blurted out without even thinking these words first. They just blasted out of my mouth, “ You also had an experience in a church in Texas!”
Once again, “ how do you know that?” By now there was a small puddle of tears on the dry pavement beneath in front of her feet that had tongs on.
She then opened up like I was her best friend. She told me it was more than her Father, her brothers also joined in “using her.” She told me she loved her Dad and even took on a crime her Dad did and went to prison for it. I asked her, can you forgive your Dad for what he and his sons have done to you? With tears rolling of her lips, she bobbed her head “yes.” I asked her do you need my help to pray? Bobbing yes again. I led her in a simple prayer confessing forgiveness towards Dad and brothers.
About 7 minutes have passed now. She told me her name, “Crystal” voluntarily. I am Dave Crystal. Crystal can you ask the Lord to forgive you of our the sins in your life? And ask Him to be your Savior? “Yes” again. I helped her pray. She wiped away the tears the best she could. I invited her to join a Bible study. I gave her my “soda pocket change. She went to the grocery store next to the restaurant. Brought it back and showed me the container. Her smile and her face were gleaming. Drugs is what the money is used for. 10 minutes with Jesus. Just take three of us.
Oh wait, exception. The 2 young men watched and listened to every word. When I turned to resume working I looked at them. Their faces were as white as ghosts. Both men were heavily encountered by Jesus as well. Word got back to me about them attending a church they were invited too.
Tom’s foot was on the brake when he tried to stop the car as it veered off the road. His car then hit a wall and stopped the car immediately. The impact caused his ankle bones to exit the side of his foot from the traumatic impact. The ER doctors did not amputate because they thought the foot might make it. Numerous surgeries latter everything was pinned back together. Pins, screws and titanium bone replacement. It’s no wonder the pain was so strong. Tom’s ankle was now pain free. Even the changes in temperatures did not affect it. We did not have the ability to get a medical opinion on what changed medically so I can’t tell you for certain what must have taken place for all that pain to be gone including seasonal pressures creating a reaction in the foot. Jesus miracle of changing water into wine had an observable visible result. The cleansing of lepers also had a visible result as their flesh repaired so drastically and so quickly that Jesus instructed them to go show themselves to the priests so that they can return to society “leper free.”
I have hundreds of stories like this. One of my favorites came from Glen. He has an unusual niche. Unusual to the point that the FBI uses him like a Lie Detector. He profiles people quickly. Glen was with me at a men’s retreat. He was profiling me while I spoke for about 20 minutes to the men there about risk taking and living a supernatural lifestyle when ugly things come up in their lives that need adjusting. Glenn told me after 14 miracle healings following my speech that as he was listening he was profiling me as “insane.” He explained by saying that my speech brought me to the edge of a cliff. If nothing happened after saying all I said, he would have been convinced that I was insane. One after the other, men were being healed, even the staff for the retreat were getting healed.
Glen and I at the retreat
This process is very humbling and at the same time very accountable because my job was to propose the healing with full knowledge that if God did not want to heal, I would be standing there holding the bag (cliche). The repetition, when one after the other takes place in pubic view is what begins to get to you. It really opens dialog between you and the LORD. It’s the “process” again. You know that you are not the one doing the miracle healing. That kind of schooling is not available anywhere even though some claim it. God did the healing miracle, I only acted as His mouthpiece within a learned atmosphere
I do and have always had a part to play in this. Jesus does not use me like an abstract tool. It’s very relational for everyone involved. That relationship side is why I invite others to do the same. I tell them, if I can do it, anyone can!
ROCKFORD — Six years after a Rockford woman tragically lost her daughter and two grandsons in a quadruple homicide, she says she’s chosen to forgive the killer.
“By the grace of God, he has given me peace,” said Rolanda Collins, who spent the anniversary of their death last weekend surrounded by family. There was no special memorial or tribute, just a place of love, she said.
Collins’ daughter, Martia Flint, was at home with her two sons, Tyrone Smith III, 6, and Tobias K. Smith, 4, and her boyfriend, Demontae Rhodes, on Dec. 20, 2014, when all four were shot to death.
Tyrone and Tobias
Calvin L. Carter, 28, who has ties to Rockford and the St. Louis area, was convicted of the killings and sentenced to four life terms plus 280 years in prison.
Since the trial ended in 2017, Collins has relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she has joined World Outreach and Bible Training Center. Her new church home has provided support and comfort over the years, and that’s where she found the strength to forgive Carter.
“There’s a group at the church called the Healing Clinic. I ended up going there one day because I needed healing. It was imparted to me that I needed to forgive my daughter’s murderer in order to become free. “I decreed and declared, ‘I forgive you Calvin Carter, for what you took from me, for what you did to my daughter and my grandchildren.’ I said it and I said it from my heart. My life has not been the same since. I have found so much peace and I’ve developed a deeper level with Christ.”
What wasn’t contained in this article was the appearance of the “Healing Rooms” for which I founded and led a team who were leaning healing ministry. On this night when Rolanda declared healing over the murderer, she came into the clinic in desperate need. About 5 years had gone by since the quadruple murder. I sat at the end of the conference table that facilitated prayer and conversation. I asked her why she was here this night and she replied with the story you already read. The team began to jump in and gave her scripture. That was good, but I knew she already had 5 years of counseling and nothing worked so far, what could we say or do to help now?
Once she completed the story and the team chided in, I listened giving each and opportunity to help her. With 10 minutes left for the clinic I stood from my seat and walked over to her and declared to her that tonight this oppression and anxiety leaves you.
You know there has to be a place in us when “enough is enough.” Before saying that I already knew Jesus wanted to appear to her but I did not know how. My wife got up also to assist me. She knows the look on my face when God is up to something.
I knew this would not take long if Jesus shows up. I also knew most counselors are more interested in what “they know” compared to what Jesus can do. My (our) job is to bring heaven to earth as believers. Then we follow His instructions and things get “done.” What we seldom understand is that Jesus wants to do this stuff more than we want too. He also does not like wasting a lot of time.
I saw in my mind an image of a big wooden door while Rolanda sat in front of it. I took my knuckles and knocked twice on the wooded conference table and asked Rolanda if she could see the door? She said “no.” I knocked again on the table and asked again, “can you see it?” This time she said yes! I told her to open the door. She paused reluctantly. All of us wondered what would happen. She used her hand to turn the handle and pull the door open. Without any of us being able to see what she saw, the room was filled with crying and weeping. I knew Jesus was going to appear to her but I did not know who else would be there. I asked again, “Rolanda what do you see? Tell us! She told us the that her grandsons and daughter were there They were talking to her and saying, “we are OK? We are having fun here.” Her daughter also said, we are fine Mom, don’t worry about us! A pause was needed so we could all cry as Rolanda told us what she saw. Then I asked, Rolanda look up, what do you see? She said a bright light, it’s the glory of Jesus. I further instructed her to invite Him in and tell Him you need a long hug. They both did that. Next I knew she needed to forgive the killer. I asked if Jesus was speaking to her and she said “yes, he wants me to forgive Calvin, the murderer. Rolanda blurted out forgiveness to him, although he was not there.
Following that you could feel the room get light. All the anxiety and oppression left Rolanda. She was free.
Early when this stuff started happening to me over and over again, I went through a stage of “what really just happened” as the memories produced scenes in my recall. Each day it happened was just like any other day. Right leg down my pants then the left. You know probably the same way everyone else does it. I have a masters in Math/Science and my career employed my knowledge base daily. I’m now nearing 500 healing miracles in the last 6 years. I do keep some tracking because I am always feeling the challenge to do better.
Recently a diagnoses of heart disease and diabetes level in some blood work became an over the phone prayer. It took me maybe a minute with a short interview. I always ask questions about symptoms before I pray. The diagnosis follow up by Docs was scheduled for a month after the initial diagnoses. 2 weeks ago a phone call came and guess what? Diabetes and heart disease no longer there.
Last Sunday I talked to my baby sister who lives very close to San Francisco. We talk often in a months time especially since COVID hit and just about destroyed her catering business there. She talked on her way home because her sinus pressure was way to high from the strong winds in California stirring up all kinds of trouble for allergy people. As the conversation was winding down, I said Laura, let me pray for your sinus. Sure, she said. A quick prayer of command for all sinus pressure to leave happened as fast as you could read the words here. Seconds later, wow I feel so much better, the pressure is gone!
A sharp knife scored 4 fingers requiring repair surgery of all 4 fingers followed up by extensive physical therapy leaving range of motion at 80%. I held her hand and immediately she felt snapping. 3 of the 5 fingers went to 100% range of motion and the 4th finger went to 90%.
If you are a believer and a student of Jesus then you know that believing qualifies you for doing the same works that Jesus did. I have believed for many years. You could say my believing has grown but I have to say that the miracles happened “before” my belief got stronger. This is really happening in America. I know I am one of so many more like me. Men and women who believe and want to believe more because He (Jesus) has great credibility and an amazing history of doing things scientifically unexplainable. Today, right leg in the pants first, then the left. Making some breakfast now.
I woke up thinking about my retirement investments that I watch weekly for their performance. I’m already at retirement age so my investing scheme should be more laid back and allow my assets to grow slow and protect what I have most importantly as opposed to riskier investments that could shake my base. My thinking then shifted to some of my riskier time spent. Preaching the gospel, the good news with signs wonders and miracles following. In comparison to the retirement investment thoughts there is a huge difference. Just like the financial market it watch production. In comparison my results in the gospel were not conservative, they were bullish. About 90% of those I reached out to with the good news that Jesus heals were healed. I know the percentage is quite high by comparison, but that is why I kept track. I wanted results or else I was likely doing something wrong. An example to what I am saying is when I prayed for certain illnesses, the person carrying that illness/injury would not get healed. This caused me to go to Jesus and check my approach, how is my pride? Was my combined faith, belief, love levels healthy? Was I growing in my authority? Was I intimidated by the impossibility? After 5 years in training in this new development of ministry, I definitely had issues to overcome. On the contrary, I never had wheel chair bound car accident injuries in my profile either but I do now. I never had lupus, arthritis, cancer, COPD, spinal injuries, heart disease, diabetes, Achilles, partial blindness, foot injuries, knee injuries either as time went on, now I do.
In the way I am approaching essential workers in a time of a pandemic lock down, I should have access to hospitals and nursing homes. But I don’t. I am not recognized by the medical community even though my results supersede theirs and my services are already paid for. Something is wrong with this scenario. It’s upside down. In a large way, the atmosphere and lack of belief that the gospel does not work in our communities is that the church does not believe the gospel works like the way Jesus and the Apostles presented it.
A friend of mine who ran a Christian radio station had started a career/college level group of the radio listeners. He wanted to see if I would co-lead the group with him like an apprentice. I was single in my early 30’s with ministry experience so I seemed like a good candidate. This man was introduced to me and held testimonies of healing in a miraculous way. He had faith for miracles. I was only a part of the group for about a month. My friend then asked me if I could speak and run the meeting while he had to be away. I was delighted to fill the role. I just got back from a conference with John Wimber of the Anaheim Vineyard Christian Fellowship. John was known for miracle healings.
While I was there in Chicago where John was ministering to about 3,000 of us he announced that God wanted to heal backs. A woman sitting directly behind me raised her hand because she has a slipped disc in her back. I joined a few sitting near her and prayed. She had a very quick miracle and was healed. I was pumped, excited and now with that same miracle atmosphere residue was on me before these 80 people gathered for its regular week night meeting slash Bible Study. I spoke out of the gospels and book of Acts. Then I wanted to see if God wanted to do any miracles. I did not know this but many, not all, did not believe that miracles are for today. I gave out three words of knowledge with 3 specific health conditions. Hands went up. People had all 3 conditions. I felt good about that. One of them was the oldest daughter of the mother/wife with the family issue resolved by the visiting prophet. She had the eye condition I named with the specific left or right eye. I was clear about which side. She raised her hand. Along with her on the other side of the meeting room was someone who had an eye condition with the opposite eye. I told that person we would pray for you as well. In a very short prayer done by those sitting near to the ones with those conditions named people began to shout out loud that a miracle happened. Both people with the eye condition were healed. The miracles had the place buzzing with excitement and many people were being touched in powerful ways. Such things were being done sovereignly by God.
Unknown to me however was a rumbling and I was in trouble. The religious attendees began accusing me of witchcraft and sorcery. Those accusations began to empty the room as people who were a part of this meeting poured out into the parking lot and drove away. I stood there all alone and thought, did I do something wrong? It was a strange feeling of rejection. I walked to my car and went home. Although I felt like I ruined the meeting I knew the presence and power of God. I felt peace and the Holy Spirit all over me and encouraging me. The presence and power of God were not strangers to me. The next day I got a phone call from the radio station host. I was getting yelled at. It’s seems he got a lot of phone calls from parents accusing me of witchcraft. I was fired from helping with this youth group on the spot. I felt friendless. Sunday morning came around and the daughter and mother who had already had the prophets supernatural ministry came up to me after the Sunday service. I honestly did not know what to expect. Both mother and daughter told me that the eye could only be fixed with eye surgery. A date was set for a surgery, however after the midweek meeting and the change in her eye she went to see the eye surgeon and he said the condition was gone. No surgery needed. Mom, Dad and daughter all knew another miracle had happened in the family. I got my desire met. So did this family.
In the last year I got to see this brother who fired me from the assistant leadership position. His sister had died. It was about 30 years ago that this incident had happened. While conversing with the family during the wake, one of his neices told my wife about a chronic painful spinal condition. My wife told her about my healing gifts for spinal conditions. She was open to be prayed for. I simply spoke to the specific area of the spine and told it to be healed. I asked her to do something physically to see if something happened. A miracle took place instantly and all the pain was gone. There was nothing any Doctor could do to help her as is the case with so many back issues I seen God heal over the recent 4 years to date of this miracle for her. All the issues in her life from this chronic pain was now gone. It was nothing for God to heal this chronic pain instantly. I knew that because of the long list of miracles like hers that were occurring on a regular basis. This is the nature of a formidable God. He never changes.

“This miracle in Cana was the first of the many extraordinary miracles Jesus performed in Galilee. This was a sign revealing his glory, and his disciples believed in him.” John 2:11 TPT
How does a reasonable person explain what they saw? Turning water into wine. Everyone knows that wine is a processed beverage and moreso a fine wine has a master winemakers hand in it becoming fine.
These men and women witnessed the empty wine vessels and the collection of water in those other purification vessels as they now become a master winemaker’s brew. Not unlike myself the Jews in those days know that you don’t make water out of wine without a specific brewing process. Jesus just did it because His mother asked HIM too. More than that the newly assembled followers witnessed the event. Biblical history decided to include this account because of the eye of witnesses. People actually saw it happen. A witness has huge credibility. We imprison and free people from our justice system by what we witness. A witness has a lot of credibility. All those who saw it also had to process it. A lot to think about. First it was water, then it’s wine, then you drank it and it’s definitely wine.

Several years ago I taught a class on the Holy Spirit related to Jesus ministry. Jesus did “show and tell,” he taught about the kingdom and then demonstrated it. I negotiated with the college Dean to be able to demonstrate my teaching on the Holy Spirit with evidence as Jesus did with His disciples. This is a Bible College for many who would become ministers or had a calling and would eventually become ministers.
On the first night of the class, I felt compelled to hold up a bottle of water and let the class see it as water and try to be the disciples at the Cana Wedding. What happened at Cana was water turned into wine. I asked, how would you react if during this class this water changed into wine. I placed the bottle in the room for all to see and began my teaching.
Jesus was and still is, action oriented. That is something that a large majority of believers can not relate too based on their experiences. They know the scriptures but cannot do any miracles as the early church did. The Pharisees had the exact same issue. Jesus went throughout Galilee healing every manner of sickness while the teachers of Moses law had a blank look in their face because they could do nothing. The Moses did many many miracles too. Imagine the tension with Jesus appearing in Israel and being similar to Moses. Ouch! The dynamics were large. The more Jesus did and taught, the greater exposure of who the Pharisees and Saducees were and were not in the sight of the people in that current time.
“By faith, we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:3 AMPC
It would be hard to number the number of times that this passage has been preached from pulpits in church settings. Jesus gave credit to the Centurion soldier for having more faith than the nation of Israel. Obviously, the Roman guard understood authority, the chain of command and it’s relationship to giving orders to subordinates and the results he got from this authority. Jesus recognized the soldier’s perception of Jesus authority. It was a daily routine for the Roman leaders to get things done by giving orders. Those under his rule heard the commands and carried it out. The Roman commanders spoke the orders and the underlings did what was said.
We today for the most part across the denominational lines consider “faith” as a theology. A belief system comprised of doctrines and beliefs. The Nicene Creed is one of the doctrines of faith held by streams of Christianity that spawned out of the church in 325AD.
Matthew 8:5-13
5 As Jesus went into Capernaum, a centurion came up to Him, begging Him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant boy is lying at the house paralyzed and [c]distressed with intense pains.
7 And Jesus said to him, I will come and restore him.
8 But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured.
9 For I also am a man subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it.
10 When Jesus heard him, He marveled and said to those who followed Him [[d]who adhered steadfastly to Him, conforming to His example in living and, if need be, in dying also], I tell you truly, I have not found so much faith as this [e]with anyone, even in Israel.
Authority to perform miracles is in the containers of believers. The resurrection power of Jesus Christ lives inside of each of us who believe. It’s like having a tradesmen’s tool pouch on loaded with tools. The work gets done because the tradesmen uses the tools. Conversely no work gets done if the tools are never used.
On a Sunday morning in the church we belonged to for 10 years, I was asked to come to the platform by my pastor. After the musical worship he felt like their was an anointing to heal the sick. So he called on me to come forward. I went up with no idea what I was to do. The auditorium was almost full with about 250 people seated. As soon as I arrived to the platform one of the sisters took her teenage daughter with her and came forward. She had a knee injury and was in a lot of pain. I did what I had learned to do. I simply told the knee to be healed. Then I asked her to check her knee, do something with your knee that you could not do before without pain appearing. She did what I said and smiled. I asked, how does it feel, she replied, the pain is all gone. I announced to the service attendees that her knee was just healed. Faith spread throughout the auditorium. You could almost see it. Within minutes of people raising their hands throughout the auditorium acknowledging their need for healing, I instructed those sitting nearby to lay hands on them as I prayed a prayer of command to be healed. This took only a minute or two as I watched from the platform. I could see the reactions of excitement as something obvious was happening. Then I asked for a show of hands of those who knew they were healed and about 20 hands went up in the air. I told them to keep their hands in the air so everyone could look around and see them. About 20 people had their hands raised. It was a “wow moment.” Among those seated in the congregation was several young men who had come to church with a woman. These guys had a particular look on their faces. They were not attending by choice. They were there because of a girlfriend and better said reluctantly or under compulsion. These guys were what I called “gospel hardened.” Being raised in urban Milwaukee, they had seen to many Christians living “not that committed,” they know the fakes and their are a lot of them. I then asked from the platform if there was anyone here that came in today’s service with a hard heart and you felt your heart become softened by what you saw here. I asked, please raise your hand. I saw five hands go up. They were brave and bold. They were eye witnesses of God’s love all around them. They recognized a genuine move of God and it leaped on them too. That is the anointing. There was no preaching to them, no arguing on God’s behalf to change their mind. The anointing sat on them by what they saw and their hard heart was healed. Five men. To me, that was the best event of the morning.
