Heavy Presence
11 March 2008 20:26 | Anonymous
Yes, what an awesome service. I just cried tears and told the Lord that I had missed that "heavy presence" so much and I didn't even know how much I'd missed it. It was SO wonderful to stand in His presence again and feel His touch like that and I am so thankful. I claimed breakthrough for all my children and everyone I could think of who needs it. Thank you so much for your prayers. I am so excited about what God is doing, I can hardly stand it.
God Healed Me!
11 March 2008 20:20 | James
James was scheduled for an ultrasound and biopsy last Wednesday. The previous Sunday you prayed for James (sermon on healings, restoration to relationships and breakthroughs). He had been to the doctor and his PSA were highly elevated and doctor ordered the ultrasound immediately. After prayer that Sunday, James believed that God healed him. I suggested ( I really felt prompted by the Holy Spirit) that he have another blood test done before the ultrasound which he did on that Monday. If it wasn't normal, then he would go ahead with ultrasound because God does use medicine, surgery etc. He called on Tuesday to get results and the PSA machine was down, therefore he couldn't get his results for 7-10 days. By faith believing that he was healed, he canceled the ultrasound for the next day. It was rescheduled for the 19th. You and Deborah just went through this and you know how you want to KNOW as soon as possible. James called today and his numbers were NORMAL. Praise the Lord! James KNOWS it was God! He gives him all the glory for it. It was funny, we watched the church program Saturday night and it showed you praying for James. James said when he saw it, "That's when GOD HEALED ME!". James was right! I'm so very thankful God healed James but also to increase James' faith. James totally believes and has received healing before but with each report, your faith goes deeper!
A Warmth

Dear Pastor Evon,
Service today (Sunday morning) was wonderful. The Lord showed up in power. Thank you for being obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Something special happened for us during service that I wanted to share with you. Nancy was healed of pain that had been going on all week – pain in her upper back, neck and shoulders. The problem started five days ago. From the outset we prayed for the Lord to heal Nancy. It was curious that for the first two days, Nancy’s pain was on the right side, but then shifted to the left. The evening of the second day, the pain got worse. We used heat compresses and prayed fervently. Although I had not told Nancy, I had decided that I would take her to the doctor the next morning if things were not better. Well, the next day, Nancy was a little better, but still had remnants of the problem. However, by the next day (Saturday), the pain had shifted to the left side. Again we used the same approach, heat and prayer. This morning before we left for church, Nancy was feeling a bit better – but still experienced pain. During service, Nancy told me that she felt the Lord was healing her. She later said there was “a warmth” in the affected areas. The pain was gone – and still is. Praise God! His Mercy and Love are beyond measure. We know that as His children, when we call on Him – He answers in ways that not only bless us, but give Him Glory as well!
We love you and Deborah and pray that your ministry will continue to bear much fruit for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessings

Why?
22 February 2008 20:34 | Ken
I want to know 1 thing, why do people fall when hands are laid on them?? I have NEVER read anything in the word of God about anyone falling after being prayed for. The bible tells us to try the spirits,and thats exactally what I'm doing. By the grace of God I will not be decieved as many are being. I absolutely do not want to judge anyone, but I do want to go by the word of God, and that only. If it aint in there, then I dont believe it. I thank God for saving my soul and blessing me so much, he has helped me through many tough times in my life, and I am thankful for the gifts he has given me.
Confirmation

Dear Bro Evon,
First I want to tell you, thank you for coming to this area. Pensacola is blessed to have a man of God like you here. I was visiting your church on Sunday 16th. The service was awesome! Just like God, he interrupted and called for the visitors to come forth. You said that the Lord wanted those that needed a touch from him to come, well I always want a touch from him, but I did not want to take up time, unless it was truly my time. So I did not move until you said I was watching you walk up to the church and open the door . What you did not know, as I was walking onto the church I heard a voice say, I'm watching you come into this house. Of course I thought oh no!! they're watching me and is everything okay, do I have it all together? Then the Lord said don't let those thoughts come in, you are okay. I never thought about it again until the invitation. I was over come with the Lord, cause He is quick to love on us. Confirmation is always good, thank you.

While the bible does not use the modern terms "falling out" or being "slain in the spirit", it does talk many times of people encountering the manifest presence of God in such a way that they would fall to the ground. See: 2 Chronicles 5:14, John 18:6, Acts 9:3-4, and Ezekiel 3:23. People react to the presence of God in different ways, falling down is not a requirement to receive a touch from the Lord.
