By amazing, I mean genuinely amazing. We're talking people being healed of broken knuckles; one leg being two inches shorter than the other; and an example from p. 108 of a person being healed of a serious wrist injury:
I [the author, a pastor] gathered a team of twenty-somethings to pray for his wrist. They gathered around him and repeated what I had done in the bar -- they began praying over him God's wonderful invitation, ending by praying for his wrist. When they were finished, he literally couldn't speak. With tears in his eyes, he tried to describe, through gestures, the Presence that was resting on him. He discovered over the next few weeks that his arm was completely healed.
I often wonder what my spiritual gift would be, how I could best deliver "packages from God" to people. I'm sure that God has and will use me somehow. I just need to remember that it's not about me; it's about Him and letting the Holy Spirit flow through me to make a difference in this world.
