I NEEDED HEALING AND GOT IT!

by Randy Olsen (Sarasota, FL)

My Encounter was in September 2006. At the pre-encounter meeting the Tuesday prior to the Encounter Pastor Vin shared on how Jesus healed the hand of the crippled man. He had two hands and when Jesus said show forth your hand he had to show everyone there the ugly crippled hand in order to be healed. Pastor Vin said he could have held out his other hand that looked good but wouldn’t have received what God had for him.

My decision happened at that pre-encounter meeting. That seems to be what I did, and I never experienced true Freedom. I’d go to alter calls, etc. but I’d find myself showing my good hand and then say to God that he knows and I know the truth so please set me free.

At the Encounter the time came for me to show forth my areas that I needed healing and deliverance. I showed my crippled deformed hand to those present and I got healed and set free. I’m humbled by what happened and I know that only my actions will really be my testimony.

The Encounter was the beginning and I am staying connected to those that have gone to an Encounter and can help me in the journey.  I love all who serve in the ministry and Thank God I got to experience my Encounter with him.
