“YOUR PARTNERSHIP HELPS US TO HARVEST PEOPLE OF ALL AGES” (LK. 10:4)
"A man, who I had ministered to previously at another church, called to ask if he could bring his wife and children to our house church for prayer. He told me that their 11 year old daughter was having problems with her mind. I told him yes, please come, and to bring his family with him for prayer and fellowship.
That evening the family arrived and I prayed for their daughter. As I laid hands on her head, I prayed for her Salvation; and while I did, I could feel something strange moving inside her forehead. Without hesitation, I took authority over it, and commanded in Jesus name, anything that was not of Him, was to leave and go to the abyss (Lk. 8:31). Then I prayed for her to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. She responded immediately; and spoke in her new tongues-language (Acts 2:4), fluently and effortlessly. With great excitement she told her family, “I can now speak in another language to Jesus!” The family saw the blessing Jesus bestowed upon her; so her Mother, brother and sister also asked to receive Jesus as their Saviour, and to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. With prayer, they received also; and they spoke in their new Holy Spirit -given languages as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance" (Rom. 12:6-8; 1 Cor. 12:8–10). This testimony is just one of the very many ministry escapades we encounter weekly at our House churches or at the (miracle) meetings where I'm invited to preach. I am grateful; and without your frequent prayer and partnership, I would not have this freedom to go where Jesus leads me to minister. Your generous contributions allow me to continue to accept invitations from any church in Canada, US, or in any other country; regardless of size, and without charging fees. Your faith offerings and donations are transformed into people receiving Salvations, Baptisms of the Holy Spirit, healings, deliverances and answers to prayer. Thank you ever so much for your faithfulness to our ministry. Also, as a result of your faithful donations, we continue to see more ministry than ever before. Please continue to be a “cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:7) and prayerfully ask Jesus how you can contribute. Throughout 2017, help us to increase the harvest of all people into the Kingdom of God (Jn. 4:35) like never before. Amen!

“COW'S FOOT GETS MIRACLE HEALING!” (MATT. 7:11)
Dr. Brent McLaughlin, Pastor and Veterinarian shared: "A non-Christian client came into the clinic today when I wasn’t there and told the other associate (non-Christian vet) and the office manager (Christian) about the fact that Dr. McLaughlin prayed for his cow and she was healed. I and my boss had attended to his cow who had a severe infection in her foot that only amputation would cure. The farmer said he would think about that possibility and so I said in the meantime I would pray for a miracle of healing right there in the barn. I prayed for the cow’s foot to heal. I never heard back about the outcome until today (two months later) when he came into the clinic and reported it to the staff that the cow's foot was healed!”
“SON AND MOTHER RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT” (LK. 11:13)
At the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship Chapter Meeting in Oshawa, Ontario, a man approached me, handing me a sheet of paper which a friend had written out for him. It read, “My name is Eric. I would like to have everything the Lord has for me. He is my love. I can’t read or write.”
He told me he had already received Jesus as his Saviour, so I asked him, "Let's pray for everything including the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues” (Acts 2:4; Mk. 16:17). He agreed and we prayed together. As we prayed aloud, his new tongues language came bursting out. Then several minutes later, Eric’s mother asked for prayer for everything as well - "just like my son". We prayed and she also received the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, just like her son! “CASTING OUT A DEMON WHO WAS DISGUISED AS A LITTLE GIRL” (LK. 8:31)
At a meeting hosted by pastors, Maurie and Karen Zushman of H.I.S. Presence Ministries in Millet, Alberta, a couple explained that they had a spirit that looked like a little girl living with them. First she appeared in the house that they had previously lived in, and then she followed them when they moved. She didn’t seem to be causing them any problems, however, the woman was upset because it was giving advice to her husband!
She had told the spirit to leave if it wasn’t from God, but the little girl had not left. I explained that it didn't leave because she had no authority to cast it out. Upon hearing this, we prayed together and she immediately received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Mk. 16:17) giving her the authority. I explained to the couple that although it appeared to be harmless, it would eventually affect her family’s health, and especially their autistic son's. They had never heard of this 'till now (2 Cor. 11:14; 1 Pet. 5:8). I offered to go to their house between services and remove the evil spirit. They agreed. Then we prayed together for protection and their family’s health. After the service, I went to their house and cast the demon/evil out and sent it to the abyss (Lk. 8:31) where it would never trouble anyone again. “HEALING USING THE FINGER ON THE FOREHEAD” (MK. 16:17–18)
At one of our meetings in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, while I was praying with people who had responded to our altar call, a woman (with a nerve disorder) got up to leave. The man who was looking after our sound system, noticed her walking with some difficulty towards the exit door. As he approached to help her, he reached over to touch her arm and then she blurted out, “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! I have a nerve disorder and nobody can touch me. It’s too painful!" she sobbed. The soundman stopped and responded, “Why don’t you go up to the front and get prayer for healing? She was reluctant. He added, "Is it further to go to the front than to your car?” “No, I guess it’s closer to the front,” she replied. “Then please go up to the alter and get prayer for healing," he encouraged her. So she did!
She approached me at the altar, and I asked her what she wanted to have prayer for. She told me, “I have a nerve disorder and I need to be healed.” As I reached out to lay my hands on her, again in a loud voice she said, “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!” I explained to her that it was necessary to lay hands on her as part of her healing (Mk. 16:17-18). She shied away and refused. I thought for a moment, then, slowly and gently, I reached out with my index finger towards her; and ever so lightly, I touched her forehead just above her nose. She stood still for a moment and didn't move. “That seems to be the only place I don’t have pain!" she said as she sighed in relief. With my finger on her forehead, I prayed asking Jesus to fill her with the Holy Spirit and to heal her nerve disorder. Seconds after, she fell backwards speaking in tongues and then fell to the floor painlessly as if there was a cushion beneath her. Several minutes later, she slowly got up and stood amazed at what had just happened. She rushed over to me, took my hand and thanked me over and over again for praying for her miracle healing. I found out later from her husband, that after she left, she drove home, entered her house, ran up the stairs and jumped on top of him, and woke him up. Excitedly she told him about the healing miracle that she had received from Jesus at the service. That next evening, her husband was so grateful and thankful, that he too came to our meeting and received Salvation and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in tongues (Mk. 16:17). Praise the Lord! “CATHOLICS NEED THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TOO” (ACTS 2:38; MK. 16:17-18)
At a barbecue meeting in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, a man in his 60’s asked for prayer for congestion in his lungs. I asked him if he had received Jesus as his Saviour, and he told me he did, a long time ago.
Then I asked him, “Have you received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit yet?” He smiled and said, “No, I’m a Catholic.” I replied, “Catholics need the Baptism of the Holy Spirit too, so they can have the power to serve Jesus and witness for Him." I continued to explain to him that the Holy Spirit brings healing (Mk. 16:18) from the inside out, much like a microwave oven. He nodded his head in agreement and replied, “I’ve wanted the Baptism of the Holy Spirit for a long time now.” I reassured him that those who ask will receive (Matt. 7:7). He prayed along with me as I asked Jesus to forgive him, to baptize him with the Holy Spirit and to also to heal the congestion in his lungs. I prompted him not to speak in English or French after our prayer - since Jesus was going to give him a new prayer language. He prayed alongside with me and as he opened his mouth, his tongues-language came out effortlessly - a language he never learned before (Acts 2:4; Mk. 16:17). “PRAYER IS GOD’S COMMUNICATION SYSTEM” (MATT. 7:7-11)
Send in your prayer requests for personal matters, family, friends, finances, acquaintances, salvation, healing, deliverance, business, church; or whatever your needs are so that we can lift you up in prayer (Philip. 4:19). Let us know when Jesus answers your prayer so we can rejoice and thank Him along with you (Lk. 16:16). Amen!
Yours in Jesus,
Rev. Gordon Williams

"And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer" (Hebrews 10:24-25). Dear Gordon:
"In 1980 you came and spoke at my church in Oakville, Ontario (St Hilda's Anglican Church) ... I remember that evening because it was a turning point in many people's lives, the church, and in my own life. You spoke about the healing ministry, and by the end of the evening people were receiving much healing, as well as, people were touched by the Holy Spirit in such a way as many, if not most, were laid out on the ground. It was such an incredibly powerful evening, one that I will never forget...
“Thank you for recommending that our friends come to your meeting in Welland. It is always exciting to see the wonderful work that the Holy Spirit does in their lives.” They both received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. “I have no words to express my joy so I’ll just continue in tongues! ---------------------------- A young man from San Diego, California, was ran over by a car on Christmas Day. I spoke with his father yesterday and he stated that God is healing him in a "big way". He asked me to thank the GWEA ministry for praying for his son. The doctor's report stated that both cheeks, orbitals (eye sockets), forehead, palette, jaw were all seriously fractured; and his gums were detached, hanging down with his teeth in them. He mentioned further that the doctors told him it was doubtful that he was going to live through this awful incident. His doctors also told him that it would be at least two weeks before he would even be allowed to leave the hospital.
"It is like the precious oil upon the head..." (Psalm 133:1-3). Fellowship is the work of the Holy Spirit in creating a partnership, (a bond) binding us to each other, to other Christians, to Christ and to God. We can't have it when we are alone. That is why Jesus created a "Church" which means "called-out people" or people who are invited by Jesus to come together to meet with Him to worship.
"Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? We have been speaking in the sight of God as those in Christ; and everything we do, dear friends, is for your strengthening. For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." (2 Corinthians 12:11-21). |
