and so last year we we said we are going after hometown victories we want that
everyone in our house would be saved healed and delivered that we would
experience abundance and fullness and freedom every member of our family and
so I've been really fun because I feel like this last few months I've seen
breakthrough in the area and we've been go leaning in for quite some time and I
have Miss Julie mustard after who oversees our missions Department
she's pretty cool you could just call her Miss Mustard but it was really fun
something amazing happening to her Randy Clark and it was just this crazy
journey and when I laugh about it she's one of actually quite a few just in the
last few months that have received healing and breakthrough and in a pretty
substantial area and I just wanted her to share her story and as she's sharing
I just want your faith to get stirred up because we're gonna go after some stuff
tonight and I'm excited for what God's gonna do
to be here and in this spot can we turn the lights up a little bit I think it
would just I think for what we're gonna go after having the lights up a little
in the house to do great yeah so February a year ago probably about a
month before that I started having some really severe back pain and I was an
athlete my whole life a college athlete never had any back problems of any kind
and all of a sudden I just started having really severe pain and so I went
to the doctor and had some x-rays and did that whole like well let's just send
you to get another test because they don't want to scare you and so after I
had a bunch of tests done I found out that I had a thing called spondylolysis
in my L4 L5 L5 S1 which basically means that the bones that connect your spine
that keep your discs from crushing each other were both broken on both sides was
bilateral on both of those levels and so I knew that I was in pain but I didn't
realize I was in that kind of pain and I'm from the family of just suck it up
and get over it like it's just a little pain and so I didn't realize that it was
like that and so just kind of find myself in a spot where I was like okay
so the solution is I get a miracle or I have surgery and so I went to actually
sat with Bill's PA Michael Van Tinteren and I showed him my scans and he said to me
this doesn't heal itself so I would give it six months if you can tolerate it
take communion get prayer do all those things and get as trim as you can so
this view that don't recognize me I listen to him and so I lost about 50
pounds and I got prayer as much as I could and I did all of the things that I
knew to do and at the same time I'm one of the service people on Friday nights
and whenever we had a chance to go after healing I was always going after people
being healed because I had this thing inside me that was like even if I don't
receive a miracle like I don't want other people to suffer and we were just
seeing masses of people healed and every time I was
standing there in pain watching that happen I was like thank you God that
you're doing that in our house and so I'm I'd love to tell you that I got a
miracle right away and that that was the amazing result of all of this but about
eight months in I realized that the the mental journey of the kind of pain that
was would come and go and I would plan my whole life around whether I could
possibly be in pain or not so I went to Texas where I'm from and there's a
doctor in my church she's actually one of the best neurosurgeons in the nation
and he was like here's what I have to say about this do you want to have it in
five years we do you want to have it now do you want to have it in ten years you
want to have it now I I want to believe with you for a miracle but this is up to
you like I think your quality of life and
your your mental health and the future is probably gonna be helpful if you just
do this and he's like I'm willing to do it and so I decided to do that in
November so it was about nine months eight months nine months and so I have a
picture that I'll show you this is what they did I think maybe an x-ray there it
is so that's your l4 l5 so they go in they take your
hip bone super fun take a disk out from the front put new ones in that have your
bone in them and then they screw those in from the front and then the rods
going down in the back are screwed in there so that's the surgery I had
I thought that like the supernatural part of this was I was allergic to the pain
meds but I never had over a five-level pain and people have this surgery and
they have managed pain for like months and months and I don't all I remember is
waking up from surgery and just feeling like this overwhelming peace that I'd
been choosing for months like choosing joy choosing Hope over and over again
and I just felt it finally and it was like everything made sense that even
though I was sitting in a hospital room and I just had this done I had this
feeling of like oh my gosh like that there He is you know like when you can
choose it for so long and so um this actually I didn't have a bunch of
restriction and I mean I had a lot of restriction in some directions but as
far as the back goes I could only move to about right here and that's as far as
my motion went and so a Randy Clark was about I guess it was about nine weeks
out from the surgery and I had just been out of the brace that I had to wear for
a week and a half and so the Tuesday night we had students and the staff were
there and he was praying and there was probably about not an exaggeration 15
words relating to back things and so you know all the staffs there they're all my
friends they're all like stand up and they don't realize that like for me to
stand out and test it out means I have to jam that metal into my spine every
time and so I did that for a whole day and then the next day at the conference
I'm like I can't do it because I was hurting so bad so I had so much pain in
my hip from the graft like I literally had gone to my physical therapist that
morning and he was scraping it out like the metal
just making the inflammation go away it actually sounds bad but it made it feel
so much better and then it would kind of lock up again and so I was sitting next
to pastor Eric and I literally like this so I just was like I just paid a lot of
money for all that metal in my spine and it was really just me being scared cuz I
was I was like one I don't know if I can do it again like I don't know if I can
just stand up again and just have it in me to just be like yes I'm gonna do this
and I'm going to test it out cuz I came in so much pain from the day before and
so we get to the very last word of the day and Randy Clark says I have this
feeling there's somebody with pain and your spine about right here and I think
it's due to metal and I see this healed all the time and so I'm literally
sitting next to pastor Eric and I go like this and I'm like how do I argue
with all the time and I I don't know that it was anything that was
supernatural in my choice right then but I just stood up but I'm like one more
time like I can do this one more time and so they prayed for me I didn't feel
anything but I I had the understanding of like if I was gonna stand and believe
I was actually gonna test it out and so one of my friends Ben came over and he
was praying for me and he'd been through the whole journey with me and he's like
Julie because he knew how bad I was hurting just tension like the tensions
and I'm like I know and so when I moved backwards I heard this really loud like
noise which is really scary when you have
metal in your body and I just kind of looked up and Eric looks at me and Ben
was like oh my gosh are you okay and I was like uh I don't I don't know so I've
watched people have this reaction a lot of times when you pray for them and
they're healed then they're just confused that's what I felt and so I was
like uh I actually don't know and so I just started like moving and then I kind
of realized that the pain I'd had in my hip had gone away and then I was like
and they didn't quiet realize this so Eric's
like well what couldn't you do and I'm like and anyone that knows me knows this
is totally not like me I am NOT like take videos of myself is no I not me I'm
like really private so the fact that I took a video in my room and then sent it
to Eric it was like oh what did I just do
and then he's shown it so many times so I think we should show them no we're
gonna show them so I actually said to him and this is how I knew it was the
Lord a few days later after I stopped crying and after I stopped asking like
could this really be like I actually needed a few days to be like could this
really be so because when you believe for something for awhile and I know a
lot of you in the room like as you watch this video I really want you to to take
that place of you that's going well maybe I should just believe one more
time because I feel like there's healing being released there's hope being
released at the same time as all of this like the next day my brother who's lived
in town now for a year and our family has had a lot of things happen and he's
probably watching so I'm gonna just be very
the fact that you're watching you know it's really amazing and and just to
watch him show up and be part of our family and watching restoration happen
so I feel like this restoration that I've had physically and also like my
family restoration that's been happening is for everyone in this room and so the
thing that I said to pastor Eric was all I know to do is to go to my house and
flip off my bed I'm thirty-five normal people don't do
that but especially I was barely moving
before this so I did that and then it was too easy so I tried something harder
and that's the video we're gonna show you really quick
so if you're if you're in the room and any anything that you've been believing
for for a long time whether it be family restoration whether it be a physical
healing in your body I just want you to raise your hand just gonna pray for
everyone I feel like it's as we start to pray I just feel like the Lord is
breaking off the disappointment of things that didn't happen then you just
believe for a really long time and then you get tired of believing and you start
to feel a little bit of disappointment like oh I'm not really sure I should
keep believing or this always happens to everyone else but it doesn't happen to
me if a mandate is on our house for healing that means it's for us too and
so I just want you to put your hand on the shoulder of the person next to you
if you have something that's a physical need I just want you to tell the people
on the right and your right and your left what it is that you're believing for
if you haven't told the other person tell the other person
all right now we're gonna pray together God I thank you for every person in this
room I thank you for the miraculous I thank you for the things that we don't
understand and I just declare family restoration over those people that are
believing for their sons and their daughters to come home we call them home
right now in Jesus name for everyone that's believing for healing just one
more time we just declare right now that this is the moment of one more time that
you would come and you'd Surprise them that they would have that look on their
face of I'm so confused what just happened to me so we released healing
over you right now in Jesus name healing and restoration for hearts for minds for
families and for bodies right now yeah we said get well in Jesus mighty name by
His stripes you are healed thank you Jesus that you have overcome I thank you
for the testimony a breakthrough tonight yes we just say healing healing freedom
right now in Jesus mighty name yeah breakthrough and Jesus mighty name can
you guys say breakthrough can you say Jesus yes now give Him praise let's just
give Him praise
