Brazil Mission Trip — Day 6 & 7

Posted on by

Hi,
The last few days of the mis­sion trip we were both too tired to take time writ­ing on the blog. It was all really good, but all the meet­ings, and get­ting up at 8 am and in bed at 2 am made it dif­fi­cult for us not to rest in the breaks we had :)

I´ll quickly tell you some of the sto­ries from the last days in Brazil. We went to a youth meet­ing one night. The youth had a full day at a school gym. They were wor­ship­ping, danc­ing, play­ing, pray­ing. All the good stuff. We came in the evening and Chase preached to them. After that we all went around and prayed for them and blessed them. They were really really hun­gry! Many of them got very much touched by the Father. A lot of them ended up on the floor rest­ing in His pres­ence. It was good.
On our way our from that meet­ing, one of our inter­preters, Paula, stopped me. It was only her and I left in there from the team. She had been pray­ing for a man that had told her that his left eye was com­pletely blind! She had me come over to pray for him too, and together we prayed for him. Sanna and Chase came back also and we prayed for him, about a minute or so. Then he opened his eyes again, cov­ered up his right eye, and started read­ing a poster that was on the wall! Did you get that?! His left eye had been healed and he can see now!!! WOW! That thing right there makes me very very happy. Thank you Jesus for giv­ing him his sight back. Great!

Brazil Mission Trip — Day 4

Last night was awe­some! Sanna, Chase and I went with Michelle and her boyfriend Aaron, to hear her preach. It was great! She shared some per­sonal tes­ti­monies about heal­ings and the love of God. Then she had an alter call for those who wanted to receive Jesus as their per­sonal sav­iour and friend. 14 peo­ple came up! It was huge! After that we opened up for peo­ple to come up front to receive prayer from us on the team. For any­thing they wanted or needed prayer for. I want to share some of the things that hap­pened when me and my inter­preter, Paula, prayed.

The first to get up to us was a young boy and his fam­ily. He was about 5 or 6 years old. His prob­lem was that he had dif­fi­cul­ties with breath­ing. His sinuses was clogged up and his throat was too nar­row to breath eas­ily. He needed God to open up his res­pi­ra­tory sys­tem in his throat. He also had pain in his right upper leg. As Paula and I prayed for him his fam­ily started to weep. After a short while I asked him to breath deeply repeated times. It was no prob­lem for him any­more! Tears started welling up in my eyes and all of us stood there cry­ing. I just took that boy in my arms and held him for a long time, both of us cry­ing out of joy. God, you are soooo good! Thank you so much for heal­ing him. His leg had no pain either. I saw him around later too, and he was smil­ing huge every time he looked at me.

There was a woman that came up who had back, neck and shoul­der pain. After pray­ing for her with­out the pain to go I had a word of knowl­edge about one of her legs being shorter. I just told her to sit down and then I took her feet in my hands and checked and found out that the right leg actu­ally was a cen­time­ter shorter. That caused her back to hurt and it had moved up to the neck and shoul­ders! She knew about her shorter leg, so that was con­fir­ma­tion to me. We prayed for her, and after about 5 sec­onds the leg grew out again in my hands!!! That was crazy! She got up, we prayed for her back again, and the pain left her! Yeah, God!

A man had been given a word in 1997 that he would have the gift of heal­ing. Yes­ter­day Michelle had prayed for him that he would receive that. I didn´t know that until after the meet­ing last night. I prayed for him and imparted the gift of heal­ing to him and had him stay there with me and pray for peo­ple. It´s all about giv­ing away and acti­vat­ing the peo­ple in the churches here so that they can do the stuff after we leave. So he prayed for peo­ple and at least 3 peo­ple got healed that we know of when he prayed. That is so good! Exactly what we want :)

I had a word of knowl­edge about a man with hear­ing loss in his right ear. He came up to me and after a short prayer his hear­ing was 100% restored and he and his friends hugged and laughed and rejoiced together :-)

You´ll hear from us again soon. Blessings!

Brazil Mission Trip — Day 3

Thank you Jesus! It has been a great time here so far. It´s now morn­ing the fourth day (sounds like some­thing that has been said before by some­body famous…) and I want to shortly tell a few tes­ti­monies from last night.

Sanna didn´t come last night because she needed to rest, so I was going with­out her for the first time. It was strange, but she got the rest that she needed and is back on the team this morn­ing! I was going with our faith­ful team mem­ber, Jim, and then two women, Dawn and Cla­r­i­etha, chose to come along and we had a great time.

It wasn´t room for much preach­ing in that church, because my inter­preter had a hard time under­stand­ing me so every­thing took more time than usual. But that was not a prob­lem for God. He made it very sim­ple for us all. He had me talk a lit­tle bit about Jesus and what He did while He walked the earth. I said like Jesus, that if you don´t believe me, at least believe the works that I do so that you will know that the Father is in me and I in the Father. So by that I called out to every­body with shoul­der prob­lems that they could stand up if they wanted to be healed. God told me that there were peo­ple there with shoul­der prob­lems so I knew that they would be healed. 14 peo­ple got up around in the church! I prayed over them from the stage and asked those who had received heal­ing to come up front to. ALL 14 CAME FORWARD!!! WOW! I just had to ask them again if every­one of them had been healed, and yes. They were cry­ing and smil­ing and thank­ing Jesus for His heal­ing power. One lady in her fifties were cry­ing a lot, wav­ing both her arms over her had and prais­ing Jesus loudly! She told us that her shoul­ders had been inflamed and painful for a long time. The last 8 months it had become much worse and she was in con­stant pain! She still had to work to bring home money to sup­port her fam­ily. She worked with much pain… Now God had healed her and she was so happy!! Clappy happy :-) Later she came up with a child in her arms and her smile was huge! Thank you for being there to heal Holy Spirit. You are awe­some! We honor you God. Thank you!

I also called those who had pain in their feet to stand up. A man that was healed came up front to tell us that he had bro­ken a bone in one of his feet. I had just been healed from shoul­der pain too and had been limp­ing when I came up last time. This time he didn´t limp! He was stomp­ing his feet on the ground and grinned. He was get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter dur­ing the night.

This was an awe­some evening. Other peo­ple got healed too. God told me to do impar­ta­tion too. The four of us in the team lined up front and peo­ple walked by us and we prayed that they would get the anoint­ing and the gifts that we so freely received from God our­self. After that I had every­body who was in need of a heal­ing to stand up. The oth­ers in the church was instructed to lay hands on them and heal them in Jesus´name. 10 more got healed!!

After the meet­ing we went home to a fam­ily from church to eat pizza and snacks. They really hon­ored us and God blessed them for it. Thank you so much, Jesus. I believe that this church is going to walk much more in the super­nat­ural from this day on.

Thank you so much for your prayers. You all have a part in every­thing that hap­pen down here since you part­ner with us in prayer. Thank you and bless you mightily!

Brazil Mission Trip — Day 2

Hi again!

It´s a lit­tle past 5 pm now and we´ve been to a meet­ing this morn­ing. It was for pas­tors and min­is­ters, and we´re going to have a meet­ing like that every morn­ing this week. In a cou­ple of hours we´re going to have meet­ings in three dif­fer­ent churches. Gary Oates, Chase Turner and I are preach­ing and invit­ing the pres­ence of our Holy God to come be with us to save the lost, heal the sick and free those bound by the devil. It´s going to be very good! Jesus is always good! Please pray for us. I´ll update this note later to let you know some of the things that is going to hap­pen. Thank you all for part­ner­ing with your prayers. We love you all very much!

Hugs from Kris­ter and Sanna

Update:
It´s been a fan­tas­tic evening! The meet­ing was very good. God showed up, the wor­ship was glo­ri­ous, peo­ple were hun­gry. I didn´t know what to preach on as I came there this evening, but Holy Spirit didn´t leave me speech­less. He really came and thanks to Him there were many peo­ple healed tonight! Our team, con­sist­ing of Sanna, Jim (our faith­ful team mem­ber from the Colom­bia trip in Jan­u­ary!) and myself did impar­ta­tion with every­body in the church. It was great! It took some time because there was over 200 peo­ple in the church, but it was per­fect. We want peo­ple to be able to step into the things that we preach. Since they believe they also can lay hands on the sick and see them recover. So that was my focus. To help them see who they are in Christ, and what author­ity and power they carry as sons of God.

I had a few words of knowl­edge and had peo­ple stand up for me to pray over them. God sov­er­eignly healed 39 peo­ple of var­i­ous con­di­tions!!! Jesus you are the sav­iour of the world! It was so great! One lady used a walker and had done that for a cou­ple of months because of a knee surgery that left her off worse than before. She couldn´t bend her knee… after I prayed over her and some other peo­ple that stood up she was able to bend her knee again and she came up using her walker. I asked her why she still had the walker and so she tried to walk with­out it; and she did! Glory to God! She walked back and forth, bet­ter for every step. In the end when she was going back to her seat, she just folded together the walker and lifted it up! It was so glorious!

One woman gave her life to Jesus for the first time, and two men that had been walk­ing away from Jesus, reded­i­cated their life to the Lord. Tears were stream­ing down their faces as they had seen the power of the only liv­ing God man­i­fest in their midst. They wanted to come back and walk with Jesus again. Hal­lelu­jah, there´s a party in Heaven right now!

After the meet­ing we were invited out to eat pizza. The trans­la­tors didn´t come so we ended up with 50 peo­ple from church, with nobody to trans­late! It was both fun and inter­est­ing. The pizza was very good, even though we couldn´t com­mu­ni­cate very well with the peo­ple there. We left 12:30 am and went back to the hotel; tired, but full of joy. Thank you for every­thing you did tonight, Holy Spirit!

Dear friends,

Sanna and I are now in Bauru, Brazil. It´s a city in Sao Paulo and it´s one of the smaller cities around here. From our hotel room bal­cony on 14th floor, we can see houses as far as the eyes reach..! It looks like a big city to me… The rea­son why we are here is to do a mis­sion trip with Gary Oates Min­istries. It´s 23 of us here with the group and we all look for­ward to see what God is going to do this week. We arrived this morn­ing and drove 4–5 hours by bus to get to the hotel in Bauru.

Tomor­row we´re going to have a morn­ing meet­ing in a church and then we will go to 3 churches in the evening. Gary will be preach­ing in one church and then two of the interns will take one intern each and a part of the team and go to the other two churches and preach. It´ll be great fun! There is always a lot of peo­ple saved, healed and deliv­ered on these trips, and God shows up big­time! Thank you Jesus for being with us!

Please pray for all of us. Sanna and I will prob­a­bly preach once or twice each so please keep us in your prayers. Please pray that God will use us and that we will not be in the way of what He wants to do for His chil­dren here.

Thank you so much and God bless you!
Love, Kris­ter and Sanna

Jesus Visits Walmart Supercenter

Praise God! WOW!!! Sanna and I have had a cou­ple of hours at Wal­mart and it was super amaz­ing! Wow, we saw peo­ple healed and touched by the Holy Spirit and Jesus just loved on His chil­dren. God is so good!

We went to Wal­mart with our friend, Erika. The rea­son we went there was that we needed to get some gro­ceries. That´s it. But we went there look­ing for a chance to share about how much Jesus loves us. The first man we talked to was 69 years old and was a bap­tist min­is­ter. We talked together about liv­ing for Jesus and how awe­some He is. We got to pray for him and bless him before we all con­tin­ued shop­ping. Then we saw a cou­ple that we wanted to talk to and see if we could pray for. We just went up and asked them if they had any pain in their bod­ies. “Yes,” they told us that he had a regen­er­ate disk prob­lem in his spine and had pain there. He was on med­ica­tion so he didn´t have any pain right then so he couldn´t tell us if he was healed after we prayed for him. He´ll know tomor­row morn­ing! His wife had pain in her knee. We usu­ally ask them if they can tell us how much pain they´re in on a scale from 1 to 10. This woman, Karen, had a pain that was about an 8! That´s painful. He knee was pop­ping and it hurt badly. After we prayed for her once the pain dropped to a four. Great, but we wanted to go for total heal­ing. That´s what Jesus wants for us. We had her hus­band pray together with us and ALL the pain left her! Thank you JESUS!!

Dog Healed in Statesville

Today´s news is absolutely aston­ish­ing! A mar­ried cou­ple from Nor­way and an Amer­i­can girl who´s intern­ing with Gary Oates Min­istries went to Statesville yes­ter­day. The things they saw down there were beyond their wildest dreams and imag­i­na­tions! It was not pre­med­i­tated. Not planned in any way.

Statesville is a beau­ti­ful place to visit. The sun was shin­ing and the sky was clear. The rea­son why this small group went there yes­ter­day was to go and min­is­ter at a House of Hope and go horse­back rid­ing. When they got down there from Wilkes­boro they got out of the car and saw a dog that was limp­ing badly. His right front leg was obvi­ously hurt and the girls there told them that the dog had been limp­ing for a cou­ple of days already. The young Nor­we­gian man decided that this was the the appointed hour. This was the Lords moment! It was time for that dog to get healed! He got down on one knee beside the dog, laid his right hand on the hurt leg and com­manded pain to leave and heal­ing to flow through that leg, in the name of Jesus. Noth­ing hap­pened! At least noth­ing that could be seen with the nat­ural eye. But what was going on in the spir­i­tual?! The Nor­we­gian had faith, and in per­fect Smith Wig­glesworth style he told the dog to acti­vate it´s faith and walk! The dog obvi­ously had great faith because it started to walk. Still limp­ing though.

After a cou­ple of hours they went horse­back rid­ing. After 5 min­utes they were able to catch up with a dog that was run­ning in front of them. It was the dog that only hours before limped severely! Now it was run­ning in front of them with no sign at all of the limp­ing!! It was healed! Praise you Jesus!! The power of God touched that dog´s leg and took away all the pain. The pain had to bow to the name of Jesus Christ.

This con­cludes today´s news. God is good. All the time!

What is on My Mind?

Hi every­one,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

It´s been a while since I last updated this blog and I am sorry about that. I pray that you will still check it our once in a while and that the Lord Jesus Christ gives me grace to write here more often to tell you what He does for us here in Mora­vian Falls. We´ve been to 3 con­fer­ences since last time I wrote here. Two of them we hosted here in Mora­vian Falls and one we hosted in Franklin, Ten­nessee. When I say we I mean Gary Oates Min­istries with staff and interns.

The first con­fer­ence we had here that Sanna and I was a part of was “Chart­ing the Course in Chang­ing Times” and the speak­ers were Gary Oates, Bobby Con­ner and Rafaela Sil­veira. It was great to be a part of it all and have the oppor­tu­nity to lis­ten to them all preach and teach. It was great fun! It was the first time I met Bobby Con­ner and it was very inspir­ing. It made me want to learn scrip­tures like he does. I don´t think he opened the Bible at all dur­ing his ses­sions but I prob­a­bly quoted more than 50 verses to us. It´s pretty amaz­ing!

Third Day in Riohacha

Hola,

Today we have been in three dif­fer­ent orphan­ages and we met some truly won­der­ful chil­dren and peo­ple who were help­ing them. It was won­der­ful! Some moth­ers had come with their chil­dren to the church who work with the last group we vis­ited, and they were not chris­tians. By the way, that was in the same church our group went to last night. I don´t know how many but some of them said yes to Jesus today! There´s a party in heaven today!
