DAY 13: Meetings That Heal

Ananias

Dutch Sheets shared of miracles of healing that took place as God met with people on of his many journeys into Guatemala.

On one occasion he, his wife, another couple were ministering to an elderly lady who had recently been saved. Six months earlier this lady had fallen from a stool and severely broken her ankle.

Her ankle was still badly swollen and she was in much pain. While they visited with her, he and the other gentleman both sensed that God wanted to heal her ankle-right then.

After sharing this with her and obtaining her agreement, we asked her to prop her leg on a stool. When he stepped between her and God to effect a meeting, the presence of God came so powerfully into the room that he stopped in mid-stride and mid-sentence. He had taken one step toward her and uttered one word, "Father."

DAY 12: A Meeting For Reconciliation

Judgement of Christ

Often our meeting with God is to effect another meeting-a reconciliation. We meet with Him asking Him to meet with someone else. We become the go-between: "Heavenly Father, I come to you today (a meeting) asking You to touch Tom (another meeting)."

On the opposite end of the spectrum, as Christ did through spiritual warfare, our meeting with the enemy is to undo a meeting-a breaking, a severing, a disuniting. All of our praying intercession will involve one or both of these facets: reconciliation or breaking; uniting or disuniting.

First, we will look at a couple of Scriptures that describe what Christ did when He met the Father to create a meeting between God and humanity. Then we will look at the warfare aspect. Psalm 85:10 states, "Lovingkindness and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." Let's examine more fully this beautiful description of the Cross.
