When I arrived, the ladies were out at the dock enjoying the morning. One of them was talking with two older black gentlemen. I felt the Lord prompt me to ask the gentlemen about the WOKs (Word of Knowledge). I told them, "On my way here I asked the Lord what He wanted to do today and I feel like he told me he wants to heal these issues." I listed them, and asked if either of them had pain in those places. The men looked at each other with raised eyebrows. One of the men had pain in the shoulder next to his collarbone and in the lower back. He'd just been telling his friend and the ladies who were down there about it. I prayed twice and God healed his pain. He looked at me in disbelief and said, "I've seen people do that on TV, but I didn't know it was real!" I told him God loves him and want to be close to him. We praised God together and his friend was telling everyone about it as they left. The man walked up the hill easily back to his lodge.
The ladies watched all of this unfold. Several hours later, just before I shared my testimony, I asked the ladies about the WOKs. Every lady except one claimed a WOK. All of the WOKs were claimed. God healed two conditions on the spot. The others weren't hurting at the moment, so there was no way to test the healing. The ladies all go to a Southern Baptist church and weren't very familiar with the Holy
Spirit or with healing prayer. It opened up an excellent conversation about the importance of being filled with the Spirit and working in cooperation with Him.
