Linda
contacted us in great stress. Her husband was not living a strong Christian life
and seemed to be slipping back into the world. We told her about the anointing
oil and some teaching tapes we had and offered to send them to her. I tried to
email these notes to her for her to have as instructions on how to use the oil.
The computer to which I Emailed broke down so she did not receive these
teachings. I had already anointed the cloths for the purpose of her using them
on her family. The anointing prayed over the cloths was for a deeper hunger for
the Lord and for deliverance of the bondage her family was in. When Linda
received the package she was delighted to see the cloths and immediately
anointed them for her to have a good nights sleep. (She had failed to let us
know she had not been able to have a restful nights sleep in a very long time).
When we talked to her a couple days later she told us what she had done and that
she was sleeping like a baby. Then Linda began to weep and share with us how she
had such a hunger to grow deeper in the Lord. How the only thing she desired was
to be able to walk up to someone and tell them about Jesus with no hesitation.
Remember what I said I prayed over the cloths? Linda was reaping the anointing
prayed over the cloths by using them herself without realizing what she had
done. Linda's hunger grew and grew to know the Lord deeper.
She was not able to find satisfaction in the church she was going to. We had
sent her some tapes by Jerry Gaffney, which ministered to her greatly. She
called and asked if it was possible to go to a meeting if she was able to come
to the Seattle area. The Lord provided a few days off, an ok from her husband
and super low airline tickets. She was on her way. Upon arriving in Seattle the
Lord opened doors for her to attend two evening and one day time meeting with
Jerry. The Lord also gave her favor and she was able to have a private lunch and
teaching session with Jerry before she left. During the lunch Jerry talked to
her about anointing clothes. He told her if she brought one to the meeting that
evening he would pray over it for her husband.
During the time between meetings we began to talk of the days events. She was
looking forward to the meeting and the anointing of the cloth but still had some
doubts because nothing had seemed to happen with husband. I had not told her
about the anointing of the cloths I had done with the cloths I sent her. As we
sat I looked over at Linda and said, "remember the cloths I sent to you
that you anointed to have a good nights sleep?" She looked at me with
question in her face and said, "yes". I told her I anointed them
before I sent them for a deeper hunger for the Lord. Linda's face turned white
with the realization of what I was saying. "It works!" she exclaimed
with a big smile. "Yes, it works Linda".
The last we heard from Linda was she is on fire and praising the Lord. She
reported back she had developed a case of "crunchies" must to her
delight and when she prayed over people now she could feel the electricity of
the Holy Spirit flowing through her.
(UPDATE 8-99)
Linda had called and was getting a bit discouraged again about her husband. Even
after taking the cloths back that Jerry anointed nothing seemed to be happening.
Yes, she was more on fire than ever. The Lord was working mighty miracles in
Linda and using her in many ways opening doors to minister in various places.
But her husband was still a concern. We continued to tell her to hang in there.
God was at work even if she couldn't see it. Then this last week we received a
call. Linda and her husband were at a wedding in which a well known evangelist
was also in attendance. Linda's husband walked up to the evangelist and told him
he had been really wanting more of God the way the evangelist had. The
evangelist grabbed his hand right there in the middle of the reception and
prayed. When Linda's husband walked back to her and told her what he had done
she was amazed. Her husband is on fire and her prayers are being answered.
