THE KINGDOM IS
FORCEFULLY ADVANCING!!
May 13, 2003
The following two testimonies came in to the Passion and Fire offices this
afternoon. It has now been three months since Hamilton Filmalter ministered in
extended healing services at Passion and Fire over the course of two months at
the beginning of this year. Whew...has it really been that long? We have been so
encouraged and blessed by the wonderful and awesome things God has continued to
do through those who attended those services. We are still receiving reports of
healing, evangelism and a new confidence to take healing out to work-places,
bible studies, neighborhoods and where-ever people happen to need a touch of the
Lord. Please read the following two testimonies. It is a testimony not of what
we at Passion and Fire are doing. It is a testimony of what God is doing in and
through His people; His goodness, grace and that others have "caught" the
anointing and boldness to "go forth" in Jesus name, and "as they go, to heal the
sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, and preach good news to the poor!!"
What's more is that everyday believers in Jesus have sat in church pews/chairs
and been on the spectator side. Now they are powerfully being activated to go
and "do" the Kingdom of God. Isn't that what we are supposed to be doing?
Activating and training the believers to do the work of the ministry? Let the
violet healers go forth and those who will violently possess the Kingdom of God
and extend it to those that Jesus wants to touch and bring them into His
Kingdom!!
Serving our wonderful Lord and the Tri-State Region!!

First Testimony:

Hey guys!!
I was talking to one of ladies here at work and she happened to mention that she
had hurt her back this weekend and that this has happened before. I asked if she
had anybody check to see if one leg was shorter than the other. I told her that
at church we have been seeing legs grow out. I had her put her legs up and sure
enough one was short than the other. She saw it and in an instant the leg popped
out! She couldn't believe it. She said well I was at church yesterday and
nothing happened to me there. So I began to pray for her back and she said it
felt better. When I was getting ready to leave she said there was still a twinge
and I told her that I would be praying that whatever is left would go!

Testimony 2
======================================================================
Hello, It's me Jane Rivers again. I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying
the tapes and such. I just feel I have learned so much in the short amount of
time, that I have been attending Thursday Nights. I have been touched in my
church, with Guest Speakers and the associate pastor has helped me greatly. But,
The change in me since I have been attending Passion & Fire is overwhelming. I
know it is the Holy Ghost, but it would not be possible without a vehicle to
channel through and I Thank You. The connections I have made with a few women
are awesome. The other day I went to a prayer meeting that Cindy Weist told me
about. I went once before, but this was the second time I had been there, and
Cindy was not able to attend. After they prayed for me, the Holy Ghost was all
over me. I sobered up a little and I was just standing around. "His Voice" told
me to go listen to those women talk. I waited to see if he would nudge me again.
Yes, He did. So, I sat down with the ladies and listened. This time He said,
"Ask them what their prayer needs are." So I waited again to be sure. Yes, He
said it again. So, I asked the ladies if they had any prayer needs. One needed
free from pain in her body, the other wanted healing for asthma and a painful
neck. Well, I was taking this leap of faith, and I waited on God to tell me what
to do next. He said, "lay your hands on her arm, etc... I continued to pray in
tongues as I was laying my hands on her back and neck area. God said,"Rebuke
that Spirit of Depression" I didn't stop to think about things because once I
asked them what their prayer needs were; there was no turning back for me. Hee
Hee. Well, I rebuked the Spirit of Depression and then I felt a release to not
pray anymore. {She later told me that I was right on, about the spirit of
Depression} I was encouraged. I had never layed hands on total strangers before.
So I stepped back. I waited on God before I layed my hands on the other women.
God said, "You need help with this one" He meant that I needed more people to
pray with me. I looked around the room and said, " Who Lord?" He said, " That
one" So I walked over the the man I needed to help me. I said, " I need to pray
for this woman, but I need help" One man said, "Do you need her husband?"
Pointing to a different man than God said, "I said, "No, I think I need him( I
pointed to the Man)" They all replied (Happily), "Well, speak up then." Well, By
this time I am too far in to pull up on the reins; so I walked back over to the
woman. I began to listen to God, while the men prayed. He said, "put your hands
holding her face" So I did. I continued to pray in tongues and listen as God
said, "Rebuke that Spirit of Fear" Well, I thought I was going to pray for
asthma, but I rebuked the Spirit of Fear. I later declared, "Asthma can not stay
in this body." After it was all over, I was told that the man I needed to pray
with me, was her brother. Also, That one man said, "Did you know about the
asthma?" I said," yes, but I didn't know, about the spirit of fear." He said, "
Well, asthma is "Fear-Based"!" I just lost it at that point. I was amazed that I
heard right. He just looked at me and said, "Be Encouraged:" Well, These are
some of the things that God is teaching me. I would not have been catapulted to
this place, without your ministry. I also, would not have been able to quit
smoking. I am on my 11th day (smoke-free) I am just in amazement. I feel clean.
I know this is long but, bare with me on my testimony. I have been talking with
my Mom about things of God, even before I visited your church. She believes, but
she doesn't have a church home. She listens to me when I teach her things, that
I have learned. So, just a few days ago, I went to her house; to help move some
stuff around. We got to talking and we eventually held hands and prayed for my
Brother. I spoke in tongues for about 5 seconds, I don't usually speak in
tongues around her. To my surprise she didn't say anything and kept on praying.
Come to find out later, the night we prayed for my brother was the same night he
put on "The Patch" to help him quit smoking. Well, I would love for all of them
to come to Passion & Fire and just be healed, but I have to work with where they
are at. I know I wrote a book, but I just wanted you to know that I am Grateful
to you Pastor Dave and Pastor Donna, for your ministry. What I like the most is
that we don't have to be passive listeners all the time, I mean you are doing
hands on training, I love it!!!!! I feel Like I am in Bible College without the
"boring teachers" Hee Hee. P.S. I am 30 years old and I have always wanted to go
to Bible College, but I could not decide on what school to go to with the least
amount of PHARISEES and SADDUCCES. Ya know? I am so hungry to learn. Kind of
like a Sword fighter (wannabe) watching a ninja fighter in action. Praise be to
God for the devine connections he is allowing me to experience. Blessings to
you! Love, Jane
