Recently I had the privilege of holding a revival at the Walmsley Blvd United Methodist Church. As always, wherever God leads me I pray for HIM to show up mightily in the services. I learned a long time ago that God doesn't just present His power to a particular faith of people, or a particular race of people, but He moves with a people that desires for Him to come. There is not a denomination or culture or race that has a monopoly on the power of God. Presently there is a powerful move of God taking place in the United Methodist Churches. Not all of them are embracing this touch of God, but some of them are tapping into the benefits of God's grace that has been made available without limits. I want to share with you a testimony of a dear woman that received a miracle during the Monday evening service. I pray that her testimony will inspire you to reach out for whatever it is that you are needing God to do for you...
"Hi, my name is Diane Burton. In March of 2009 I experienced a bad fall that broke my left leg at the tibia below my knee. After surgery and 6 months of rehab I still could not fully extend my leg. Rehabilitation professionals told me that this was the best they could hope to accomplish and released me. I walked with a limp and experienced pain until the night of March 1, 2010. The church I attend, Walmsley Blvd UMC had a three day revival from February 28-March 2, 201o with Dr. Shelia Isom. She spoke all three nights. At the end of the first meeting she said she was going to speak on healing at our next meeting. I came to the next meeting expecting something from GOD, I wanted my leg healed. After Dr. Isom preached the anointed Word of God on healing, the alter was opened for prayer. I went up! Dr. Isom anointed me with oil and prayed the prayer of faith over me, then I went back to my seat. All of a sudden while I was standing at my pew, I noticed that my leg was straight. I was able to fully extend my leg! I kept bending and extending my leg over and over. I hadn't been able to do that for over a year, now I can! Praise His Holy Name! Later that night I was able to get down on my knees and pray thanking GOD for his blessing of healing.
I remain blessed of the Lord everyday!

After Diane came forward for prayer and received her healing, the people began to come forward for prayer as well. Her healing became a witness for others, that God was really able to bring about a miracle. Not only Diane received, but several others in that same service were healed instantly. Deaf ears, injured backs, nerve damage in the forehead and many others were touched.
Many people come for prayer to be healed. Some are healed and some are not! So the question still remains, WHY? I believe the answer is in Diane's statement when she said, "I came expecting!" Without faith and expectation you will never move God. Faith must be in constant movement, when it ceases to make a demand for our needs, then we remain without. I am still rejoicing with Diane about her miracle, it has only made me hungry for more. I speak this awesome touch upon your life today! It's yours, God delights in touching you right where you are. So, reach out, make a demand on your faith to really believe and EXPECT! NOW receive your miracle!!
"O Lord whet our appetite for more of YOU!
Dr. Shelia Isom
