A few weeks ago I interviewed Sheri Downs, a BSSM (Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry) first year revival group pastor who received a miraculous healing. For 12 years she’d dealt with 80% bone on bone in her left knee, which caused constant swelling in her knee when playing sports. Recently she heard Bill Johnson mention a testimony about lost cartilage being supernaturally replaced. Sheri had been prayed for probably hundreds of times by BSSM students and people from Bethel church, but had never seen any improvement. She had almost given up hope, but hearing about a particular testimony of healing injected faith into her heart, so she stood up one more time and believed God could do it again. Then that moment came when, as people prayed for her, she felt heat enter her knee and she was instantly healed.
An impartation of wisdom from Steve Backlund as he shares from personal experience about growing a culture of powerful people.
1. Lead a culture of radical encouragement.
I lead the way in encouraging others by regularly giving specific thanks to people. Our leadership spends time encouraging and prophesying over each other. I even find ways to encourage people with "issues" because I believe everyone's negative qualities are just positive qualities out of whack. Hebrews 10:23-25.
