2000 ~ Mar 10 ~ Pastor Henry & Grace Falany

This was an unusual endeavor for us at MRC. Although healings and healing meetings are not uncommon with us, short notice is. It is also somewhat unnerving!

It was on Monday morning during our private prayer time that I got a strong witness to have a healing meeting at the end of the week. He said just you and Grace conduct the meeting and minister healing to the people! Well, I didn't have a problem with the me and Grace part because we have been experiencing many healings in our ministry lately ... but, the lack of time to publicize the meeting was very troublesome to me. So, I resisted the witness at first because it didn't make good since to me.

There was no time to get the word out. There was no time for people to plan. We can't even announce it at our Sunday service. I had all the excuses ... but, He said, "ask your wife what she thinks and she will quickly agree." Well, thinking Gracie would use good since and say its crazy, I told her what I was hearing. Sure enough ... she quickly agreed with God.

So ... we went ahead and planned a meeting for that Friday night thinking no one will show up, but we know God is up to something. We actually became excited to see what He was going to do. The next day (Tuesday) I sent out an e-mail to the people on our e-mail list (most of which don't even live in or around Mariposa). Nonetheless it was the only source we had to at least let a few people know about the Healing meeting coming up in four days.

THE MAN FROM VERMONT

Would you believe it? ... late Tuesday I received an e-mail from an assistant Pastor in Vermont, 3500 miles away. It seems that at the time I was being told to have a healing service in our church, this man was being told to go to the healing service in Mariposa at the end of this week for the impartation of the anointing. God said I am sending you to Mozambique but I want you to be anointed and prayed for in Mariposa at Sierra Faith Center before you go to Africa.

The man immediately checked our web site and on that day, which was Monday. We, of course, didn't have a healing service on the schedule. He communicated that to the Lord, but the Lord said "you go to Mariposa, they will have a healing service." Needless to say, he was a bit confused, as were we, but was willing to go. The next day (Tuesday) he received the e-mail from us telling about the "short notice" Healing meeting to be held that weekend. He was overwhelmed and amazed! He then emailed us and we were overwhelmed and amazed!

Notwithstanding, now we could see God doing a special work in all of us in the area of faith and obedience. Sometimes God just plain does a head number on you. Ask Saul of Tarsus, or Moses, or Gideon, to name a few.

Well, the man did come, but because of his early hesitation and the flight schedules, he arrived too late for the Friday night service. By the time Friday came though, we all knew he would not arrive in time ... but, he told us the Lord had assured him that he would receive the anointing anyway for his obedience, and to go ahead and go to California.

So, during the Friday night service we anointed him by proxy and spoke the anointing of the service into his life and ministry. When he did arrive (Saturday) Grace & I prayed and prophesied over him and anointed him with oil. Then Sunday morning he joined our regular service and we did it again in the anointing of the service. During his short visit here he was totally blasted and was almost constantly manifesting the signs of travail and birthing. God really let him have it!

Then Monday morning, after being absolutely blessed, blasted and soaked, he got back on the airplane and flew home to Vermont.

AN AWESOME ANOINTING!

Besides the lay Pastor from Vermont, a small congregation of people did attend the meeting. Furthermore, it seemed that everyone that attended had an uncommon expectation that the anointing was going to be unusually strong. There was a definite spirit of excitement and expectancy in the air. It was "The Presence and Glory."

THE HEALINGS BEGAN!

After the awesome worship service and a revelatory message on "The Great Commission and the miracle and healing anointing" ... the healings began. There were a few more than are listed here but these are the ones we feel we can verify. More verifications may come in the future.

** One lady with defective heart valves had numbness in her left arm and the left side of her face as a result of the heart condition. Within minutes of ministering healing to her the numbness was totally gone! She was gloriously praising God!

** A man with sharp back pain in the lower back was instantly healed and could touch the floor with his hands without pain. He was weeping for joy!

** Another man also received healing in his lower back and reported a week later that he even tested it by lifting weights. He has recently been dancing up a storm in the church worship services.

** A man with lung problems reported that he could breath much better.

** Another gentleman was instantly healed of severe kidney pain. He also verified that it was still healed a week later.

** A lady that heads a women's prison ministry was suffering from asthma. She said it always seemed to be particularly bad during cold drafty times at the prison. She was instantly healed! She reported to us two weeks later that she had just ministered in the prison on a very cold and windy night and there was no sign of the asthma! She was giving GLORY TO GOD!

THE IMPARTATION!

This same precious lady said that the special Healing meeting had changed her life. She had been a bible teacher for many years and had been teaching in the prison for many of those years. However, she said that between the sermon preached and the "fresh anointing" of the MRC ministry, ( I'm paraphrasing) that her faith and expectancy level in her own ministry, and the corresponding anointing, had gone to a much higher level. She said that even the bible teachers under her (inmates) were teaching and ministering at a higher level of revelation and faith in the miracle working power of God. She is very excited about what God is doing ... and is about to do in the prison ministry!

APOSTOLIC HEALING & ANOINTING CENTER

Through consistent prophetic words by many respected men and women of God Mariposa is being established as an Apostolic Healing and Anointing epicenter and that people would be coming from the nations for the impartation. And it won't be just the Pastors. Todd Bentley said, "Pastor Henry, the anointing was strong in this church before I got here." He also said "God showed me that it was like the pool of Bethesda ... the waters are constantly stirred and those coming and dipping in the pool will receive their healing and the anointing." The body here can heal!

** In late February the Sr. Pastor of a Four Square church in Nebraska flew to California just for the meetings here at Mariposa Revival Center. He wasn't disappointed.

** A week later this lay Pastor from Vermont comes.

** The week after that a lay Pastor from Los Angeles, 300 miles away, came to receive the impartation of the anointing for his upcoming mission trip to the Philippines. As he was anointing the man with oil, Pastor Henry was given a word and vision of this man's ministry ... and according to his testimony, it was very accurate ... thus confirming that the anointing was being imparted for his ministry and mission.

** The following week (bringing it up to this writing) a missionary family from Napa, Ca. comes to our services for the anointing as they are in route to Columbia, South America to live and minister. As she was praying over the wife, Pastor Grace was given an awesome and accurate word for her that would help and equip her for the mission ahead.
