Healed in His Presence

For a while now I have been praying for the presence of Christ on me to have an effect on the people around me. This morning I was meditating on 2 Cor. 2:14-15

'But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.'

Later on I found myself outside the store in Wildmill talking to D. who is in the St. Johns Ambulance and volunteers with us on Street Pastors triages. As we were talking L. a work colleague of her's came towards us from his car quite clearly in pain. When he got close to us I asked him what was wrong, he said he had just put his back out getting out of the car. I asked him if he had had trouble with it before and he said he said he had hurt it last year.


He was stretching tentatively and I offered to pray for him but I didn't touch him as he continued to move his torso about. In a very short space of time he was moving freely and said the pain had gone and was smiling. I later confirmed with D. that L. was fine and that he had indeed been in pain when he approached us from the car. It is as though the Holy Spirit confirmed to me that when people get around the presence of Jesus anything can happen.
