onething Tacoma Recap
1,500 gathered for the onething young adult conference in Tacoma, Washington, just outside Seattle. The Lord moved mightily as we witnessed hundreds experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit. Many were filled with joy, laughter, fire, and zeal to see the name of Jesus exalted in the Northwest. This weekend was particularly marked with unity in prayer, healing, and deliverance.
One of the purposes of the onething conferences is to ignite prayer and fasting in the region where the event is held. In this hour of human history, the Lord is raising up a prayer and worship movement in the Church all across the earth.
In Tacoma, we witnessed many congregations and denominations joining together in worship and intercession for revival in Tacoma and the surrounding area. God met us, and I believe many were stirred to continue to pray and cry out as they meet in the place of corporate prayer. The Luke18 Project was there as well, doing follow-up ministry to spark and fuel prayer furnaces in the area. God, build Your house of prayer in the Northwest!
This morning, I read roughly fifty testimonies that we were able to record from the events of the weekend. One man, who had been in pain for over twenty years from a motorcycle accident, was instantly healed on Saturday night. He had pain in his left leg that extended from his ankle to his hip. He said that he could feel the fire of the Spirit on his leg so strongly that his leg was hot, almost too hot. Then suddenly, all pain in his leg and ankle was gone!
Many were delivered from sexual addictions, a spirit of religion, self-hatred, and the performance mentality of trying to earn the love of God. People were touched by the palpable presence of God, and some were filled with the joy of God.
On Sunday morning, I met a woman who was excited about her impending visit to the doctor to confirm the healing her damaged kidneys and liver. She had been in pain and was taking a great deal of medication. The Lord touched her body on the first night of the conference with His powerful healing presence. Two days later, she was still pain-free and convinced that the Lord had healed her body. She was filled with joy and testified that the night after the Lord touched her, she woke up laughing and joyful, still feeling the presence of God.
Pray for the churches in the Tacoma/Seattle area to be strengthened, and for the house of prayer to touch the Body of Christ.
