Signs, Wonders, and Evangelism

February 12th, 2007 by Carl Thomas.

I think the evangelists around here might appreciate this.

I attend a mainline Pentecostal church. It’s a good church but not ultra charismatic.

I have managed to teach a Friday night class to any young people that will attend called “Dunamis.” I get from a handful to 20+ people age 14-23 who are interested in moving in the supernatural. This last week I taught on the 5 step healing prayer model. Last week I taught how to conduct altar ministry.

Normally in the class I will teach for half the time then the second half we will pray until something happens. Normally after teaching about healing ministry the teacher calls up the sick to be prayed for healing. But I felt otherwise. I had everyone pray until I felt breakthrough. Then I declared that God was going to release visions in the next three minutes. After the three minutes I stopped the prayer and had three of the youth to share their visions.

The first girl said that she saw all of her friends in school that were going to hell.

The second girl said that she saw a window close. Immediately after she saw a hole open in the ground and a downward spiral that lead to a firey pit.

The third saw two groups of people. One under a black cloud and another in a sunny open field and he had the impression that he needed to move those under the cloud into the open field.

We prayed for a few minutes and several more had similar visions, one even describing the throne room as reported by John complete with the four creatures. Most of these kids are unchurched so he did not know what he was describing.

Anyway, What I thought was interesting (other than this all) was the fact that in the class I taught about how Jesus did not demand worship before healing but that people were healed and then saved.

After being taught about praying for the sick, these young people heard straight from the Spirit of God about the Father’s heart for the lost! He definitely was connecting signs with salvation!
