Let me start with the wildest story that happened in Serbia. One the first day we were sitting in the living room of our main contact and we just wanted to start a prayer meeting when a 40 year old serbian man joined us. He was doing some work for the family and wanted some coffee. Actually he wanted to leave put his bike had a flat tyre (even though he fixed it just before...). This man grew up in Germany and speaks perfect German and so we asked him if he could translate. It appeared to us that he was not a believer. As we started worship one of us saw an accident with a red car and how this man prayed to God and gave him a promise because he didn't die. We shared some testimonies and then this person of our team asked him... Did you have a heavy accident? Yes, why? (Let me add here that this man is a very clever man, he read many books, likes to talk and has a lot of information in his head - a guy you could end up in endless discussions). Was a red car involved? He looked puzzled. How do you know that?... and so on, it turned out that everything was right. Another guy felt that he has back pain and one lady has had back pain for several hours. Yes, his back was severely damaged at this accident and for 14 years he has had pain, so we prayed and guess what - pain totally disappeared. We went to visit that man's family a few days later and his wife confirmed that his back is healed!! Read on, it gets even better. On this evening we prayed for his wife and the same thing happened. One of us received clear words for her that just hit like a bullet. We prayed healing into her life and both of them had tears in their eyes. When we asked how she was feeling she said that she was exploding inside. We explained them the kingdom and guess what... no discussions! They invited to come the next day when they would be visited by their extended family. So a team went the next day and they prayed for several people almost everyone got healed! Things we have dreamed about for a long time! Their comment to us - you will never come to Serbia again without visiting us! Open doors!

We did treasure hunting and one man saw a clear picture of a woman and he also had the word "shoes". He also had an exact place where he would meet that woman. After spending some time waiting there they found a woman dressed like he had seen before. They asked her if there was a problem with one of her children and she confirmed. Actually she was an atheist and she would pass by that place every day without stopping (the place was in front of a big church) but on that day she prayed for the first time that God would intervene. A few moments later our team approached her! They could pray for her and she was really touched. So the man asked her that he also heard the word shoes and she was puzzled because she has a problem, hardly any shoes fit her and she needs to have them corrected for her. She was fine to give her number to be contacted by the church and and the end she said that she would consider being an atheist any longer!

Two families and two singles went to a big neighborhood in Zagreb where they found a playground. There they found a treasure and they asked the older lady if she had a problems with her hips. Amazed she asked where we know that from because she has a severe problem but she wouldn't tell anyone. So we prayed for her and she felt the presence of God in her hips and all over her body. We ended up talking to her for one hour, explaining her the kingdom of God. She didn't want to leave because she was soaking God's love. Later the team prayed for a man's knee by a word of knowledge and it got really better. He was not into God at all but he had to admit that his knee got better (his words).

Here is another fun story. One guy sat next to an old man in the city centre. They started to talk and it turned out that the man could sleep at night because he had terrible headaches each night. So he prayed a short prayer. The next day the team was in another part of the city and suddenly we saw the same man fishing at the riverbank. So the two went to him and they found out that the man slept like a baby and that he got also healed from a sickness in his stomach. The guys praying for him didn't even know about that. This man was just ready to receive Jesus and after it they baptized him right there at the riverbank!

I could add at least another 15 stories who God acted miraculously in peoples lives!

It stays our challenge to learn to live a kingdom lifestyle 24/7. We practiced in restaurants, asked God for words of knowledges for the waiters and prayed for many. Often they felt the power of God like electricity flowing through their bodies. People were in general very thankful for bibles so we handed them out freely.

I hope that you are all encouraged today through these stories. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy!

Be blessed
