Beauty for ashes

As I was interviewing one person, the crowd began to erupt with cheers to the point that I could not hear the person I was talking to. I looked out and saw a man walking to the platform with his crutch held high. I invited him onto the platform and found that he had not been able to walk without this crutch for months, but Jesus healed him tonight!

We experienced a wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, both in the Fire Conference this morning and in the Gospel Campaign tonight here in Tema- Ashaiman, Ghana which was attended by 200,000 people! 
When you see the beautiful pictures of the massive crowd it’s easy to forget that we are meeting on a dumpsite. Just a few feet away they are burning trash, and goats are rummaging for food. It is truly “beauty for ashes.” We are surrounded by slums in one of the most dangerous parts of Ghana where even the police hesitate to go.

I can’t say everything publicly, but there is one thing I can tell you – what is happening here is really extraordinary and significant for this region. We are making spiritual history here.

Tonight, after preaching the Gospel and praying for the sick, we heard wonderful miracle testimonies.

  • One blind man, who was led around by a little boy for years, was healed tonight. He could see perfectly!
  • A woman came with a fibroid, vision problems and pain all over her body. She left restored! And many more…

I have been hearing of many other miracle testimonies that were never shared publicly. My driver is one. He was thrilled to share with me that he had been suffering with terrible pain in his neck for many years, but last night as I was praying for the sick, the pain vanished and has not returned. In fact, when I asked for a show of hands of those who have experienced a supernatural healing this week, literally thousands of hands went up!

It reminds me of what the Scriptures say about the ministry of Jesus – that if everything was recorded, “…even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written (John 21:25).” 
Well, Jesus is still performing more miracles than we can count.

Tomorrow is the final meeting of this Gospel Campaign, and we are anticipating one more huge harvest. Please continue to pray for us. The best is yet to come!

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
