more of HIM- less of us
|
Last week while at Bethel Church in Redding, Randy Clark layed hands on me and said that what is happening in his ministry is going to start happening in ours. What God has put on him is being put on us. I didn't understand this at the time because I never met him before. I did know that his ministry life was changed like mine by being at a Rodney Howard-Browne meeting at Rhema years ago. This is what happened to me also. Our lives were touched at a Rodney meeting plus we are graduates of Rhema.
The reason I wrote this is because we are at Solid Rock churchTrish Wright the pastor's wife traveled on a mission trip with Randy and this past week we have been seeing people just sitting in there seats and being healed. She said that this is what also happens at Randy's meetings. Shoulders backs, arms legs and many more things. I had a word that backs were being healed, many backs were healed. I was watching one man whose wife was rubbing up and down his spine and I asked were you healed or not. They then proceeded to tell me that he had 3 lumps on his spine and that they can't find them any more. They were in shock how all the pain had left and the bulging disks had disappeared. They were not coming because the wife had such pain in her neck and couldn't turn her head and will sitting there while her husband was prayed for she was healed
Sunday morning was very different, I didn't even say a word and people just started crying all over the church and were set free of many things. One woman who always had a very nasty attitude and was very outspoken, when church was over all she did was go to everyone and say that she loved them. No one believed what they saw. Much more could be reported but that is enough for now.
All I can say as we humble ourselves, the more that he can use you.
The week before we came to Hayfork, Cindy Smith gave her testimony what happened to her during one of our meetings 6 years ago. She had MS and was healed and still is healed. The doctors told her that she had six leasions on her brain and that she wasn't going to make and to get her house in order. She was totally healed and still is healed. The fruit of the Lord is our strength to continue and to go on no matter how hard it is.
God Bless

His presence- Joe Cicchino
When the Lord reveals himself to you in a special way, it changes you completely from who you used to be. In 1989, I was an executive with a major flooring contractor in the New York City area. Then Rodney Howard-Browne came to the church that we were attending in Toms River, NJ. He walked into the service and the fire of God hit me immediately and changed my life. He asked me why am I laughing and crying. I said I don't know. He then preceeded to say that is the fire of God. It hurt and burned me for many months. I could hardly function and it consumed me completely. My wife and I walked away from the business world and started to serve the Lord. We walked away from everything that we had and went to Rhema. God showed us that this was the anointing of the Word and the Spirit that was put on us. The reason I am writing this is because this past March, I went to a conference that Rodney had at ORU, this is the same place that he layed hand on my wife and I and ordained us in front of all our friends. As soon as I walked in the fire of God started to consume me again like it did in 1989. It burned and burned within me and took control of me and changed me even deeper than before. He showed that we should never let go of the beginning and always stay with His fire and walk with His fire. That most people will never understand the true consuming fire of his love. It is a life-changing fire and all you want is to do His will. It is true revival of your heart, a heart that is always trying to remain pure for Him. I don't know why I just wrote this, but it was put on my heart, so I know that someone will read this and they will understand what has just happened to them.

Meeting- Joe Cicchino
It has been a long time since I have sent an email out. I have been in Okilahoma writing a book about Control and how it influences our lives. It is almost done.
This past week we have been to the pastors' advance which was held at Bethel Church in Redding. It was very good and refreshing.
Now we are in Hayfork, California, at Solid Rock Church which is located at Tule Creek Road and Highway 3. Zip is 96041.
Last night was the first meeting here and we will be here until May 14th which is Mothers Day. It was so good to see the people still changed and going to church every night for the last 13 months. This is such a blessing to see the fruit of his works just continue every day. The x-drug addicts still coming, the broken hearted still free. I first came to Hayfork 6 years ago in May to Greg Randolph's church and Keith Wright's at that time we had a move of God and one lady Debbie who was a drug addict with a $250 a day habit with Meth was totally set free from drugs and healed of Hepitius A, B and C instantly before Gregs and my eyes. Well last night she was at the meeting still free and on fire for God. She has her own ministry which every Monday she feeds well over a hundred homeless and lost people and gives them a place to take a shower at the Trinity Fairgrounds. She has been doing this for a few years now with the help of different churches in the area. Once a month the judge and the sheriff from Trinity county travel from Weaverville to Hayfork to help serve the people. These, the same people who had arrested her at times and come against her when she was doing drugs.
So many stories that I can tell about what has happened here and the fruit that is still growing. But last night we had more things happen, because of the fruit. God gave a word of knowledge and he said that backs would be healed and everyone who had a problem with their back was instantly healed. Also wrists were healed.
George who was a fallen Free Methodist Pastor 25 years ago who came back to the Lord when the women of his children who was an alcoholic and drug addict got set free, had a word that there were some who didn't know the Lord and then the Lord gave me the knowledge of who they were and very gently and powerfully the accepted the grace of Jesus. The power of His is so strong in the building that at times it was hard to stand up. It is all about him and not about us.
God Bless,
Joe Cicchino
