Two ladies were on our team of four sharing the love of Jesus.
Dear Free Indeed Intercessors,
Jesus went around doing good and healing…
And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38 NLT
Several times during June and July, I’ve gone out someplace in the city with small teams of younger people, starting with the Awaken Northwest Workshop. Our goal is always to do good and heal like Jesus does by his leading, love and ability. It seems like a lot more of this is going on in Spokane just now.
In a meeting last Saturday morning, my friend Neil Gamble shared his testimony. One particular day in his life stood out, when Jesus invited him to go for a walk together to the other side of their small town. Jesus promised to have Neil back in time for an appointment later in the day, but continued to lead Neil off on side trips because there was someone there he wanted him to see. On each occasion, just the right ministry was given to the person(s) involved. Neil finally realized that these visits were not distractions, but rather exactly what Jesus wants us to do with him all the time. It became a primary principal in his fruitful ministry around the world: Neil disciples others to do what Jesus taught him to do.
These trainings, experiences and testimonies began to connect in me. This “doing good to others” is not insignificant nor optional. It is what Jesus did and still does in and through his body. The impact of listening for his leading and obediently doing what he says as we walk day by day is huge. Recipients of our obedience receive the love and power of Jesus’ ministry, which will transform their lives.

We are so grateful to have you standing with us in sustaining prayer. Much more happens because of your prayers than we can report. May your reward be great. We love and appreciate each of you so much!
Yours and Christ’s for a Spokane made radiant by the waves of God’s glory crashing over us that will in turn bless all the families and peoples of the earth,
