Living the Dream

Today starts a new series of posts, of up-to-date, true and verified stories of real people who have encountered God for themselves and have learnt to apply His principles in their normal everyday world.

Content will be supplied by my good friends, Andy and Janine Mason, who both hail from Hastings, New Zealand, and now live in Redding, California. Their vision? to help people re-discover the dreams and desires of their heart, and develop practical steps to make dreams a reality.

My hope is that you will be inspired to re-start the journey.

Today's post:
"Man received ‘grease and lube’ prayer and prophetic act for knee – we just pretended that our finger was a grease gun and acted out injecting grease into his knee. He had arthritis and a lot of pain. The pain immediately left and he was so happy to have his walk back to normal. But two days later he actually ran to open a gate on his ranch. He commented “I haven’t run in twenty years!” Magnolia, TX"
