Peru 2015
The Joy Of The Lord
As you read and travel through our trip to Lima, Peru; you will notice how a verse in the gospel of Mark, became very real on this trip. Mark 16:20 says: “Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by signs that accompanied it”.
Salvations
We can testify of how true that word was on this trip. Every church, every home visit, and every one on one session, the Lord was confirming his word with signs and wonders that followed us. The signs and wonders were ever present! In several of these encounters; the Lord had hearts prepared for salvation. We estimate over 60 salvations and re-commitments that we were aware of.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
On different occasions, people expressed more of a hunger for God, and wanted to serve him in a deeper way. There were over 22 people baptized in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.
Healings and miracles
People were coming forward asking for physical healings, and the Lord was healing and touching “ALL”. Hearing was restored, eyesight restored, many back and spine problems, stomach problems, cancer, bowel problems, asthma, kidney and liver problems, along with many other issues.
Demonic oppression
The Lord was freeing people of demonic oppression. The spirit of poverty was broken off, marriages restored through forgiveness, many emotionally healings, and families reconciled through forgiveness.
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord, and Holy Spirit boldness, were present wherever we would minister. Holy laughter actually broke out in an elderly home. Thank you Jesus!
Dreams and visions
On two different occasions, people have shared with us their dream or vision from the Lord, telling them of our upcoming visit. How awesome is that??
Signs and wonders actually exploded everywhere we went!! The Holy Spirit is so willing to touch people, through people.
Special Note:
Take special note: as you read the story about Sebastian; also, 2 different chain reaction testimonies and also will how the Lord prepared a classroom setting of young people, to receive Jesus into their heart. Read also, our visit to an elderly home, and the unique outpouring of the Holy Spirit in two different churches.
Prophetic words spoken prior to us departing for Peru
Prior to us leaving, we were prayed for at church, where several spoke prophetic words of our trip to Peru:
-“This would be a most powerful trip” and “the Lord is raining on, and pouring out his spirit now”
-“Dead will come to life; he heard your prayer and cry”.
-“You will see things you have never experienced before”.
-Saw a shovel: What is that Lord?? “A shovel to dig up the dead”.

83-year-old man, Luis, with terminal cancer repents, the Lord brought salvation and healing to his entire household
We were taken to visit Luis, an 83 year-old man, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. When we first arrived, Luis was not very cooperative and very unhappy. After talking to him about Jesus, we asked him: “If you died today where would you go?” and he naturally said: “Heaven, I hope”. Another question: “If God met you at the entrance to heaven and said, Luis why should I let you into my heaven, what would you say?” He said: “I will repent for my sins at that moment”. We went on to explain to him, that his time of decision to receive Jesus is while you are still in this flesh, pointing to the skin on his hand. Luis was very abusive to his wife and family. We spent time explaining things to him, and the choices of his life and not choosing the Lord. He then repented of all of his sins and asked Jesus to come into his heart.
He got up, hugged his wife and asked her forgiveness for all his selfishness; and she forgave him. He then sought out his two boys in the room, and asked their forgiveness, for his abusive ways towards them. This was a major breakthrough for the family. We then had the right to lay hands on him and curse that cancer in his body. Luis felt relieved and had tears in his eyes, he said: “I feel so good”.
Joyce ministered to his wife, Marissa, and laid hands on her for diabetes, eye problems, and lower back issues. She was then able to stand up straight without pain.
We also ministered to the sons, one of which was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He prayed to receive Jesus; and then we cursed that spirit of double mindedness off him.
Joyce ministered to Eloisa, an aunt, for fear, anxiety, stress, trauma and spinal pain. After prayer she could touch her toes. There was no more shoulder or back pain. She re-committed her life to Jesus! The joy the Lord was all over her.
The lady of the house brought out their caregiver, Monica. After seeing what was happening in the family, Monica said she also wanted to receive Jesus. Monica bowed her head, and asked Jesus into her heart.
This was the words that were spoken over us, prior to us leaving. “The Lord was raining on Peru and there would be many open hearts”. We saw the Holy Spirit’s preparation for this home visit, and when we left, the joy of the Lord was moving through- out their household. They were embracing us, and offering gifts, all the way to the automobile we were traveling in. Thank you Jesus!

We shared with her: how Ignorance of her allegiance to witchcraft actually brought curses upon her son. She also had breast problems, which related to unforgiveness toward another woman (Jeremiah 21:14). She repented of her sins of witchcraft and unforgiveness, and asked the Lord to forgive her. Jeanette then gave her heart to Jesus Christ. We then laid hands on the boy and broke the curses off him. Joyce prayed for the mother’s health issues. She seemed more at peace!

A testimony you don’t want to miss
Sebastian and his brother, along with others were waiting for a bus on a street corner in Lima, Peru. An out-of-control bus approached them, and it hit about 14 people. Sebastian received a severe head injury, and his brother a leg injury. Sebastian was rushed to the hospital and was in ICU. Later they had to open up his skull to relieve the pressure on the brain. He was in a coma, and not responding to treatment. We were told the doctors did not have much hope. The doctors were going to do one last test, to see if the brain was even functioning. They said if he lives, he would most likely be a vegetable.
We were asked to come to the hospital and lay hands on him. Upon arriving, we were greeted by his parents and family. Once in the ICU room, hands were laid on his forehead; as we commanded the brain to begin functioning, and to communicate with the rest of the body; commanding the bleeding to stop, and the fluid levels to return to normal. We commanded all inflamation to cease, and the body to start functioning. We then Cursed the spirit of death that was trying to kill him. Then we spent time praying in tongues over him.
After leaving the ICU room we had an opportunity to talk with Jaime, the father, who was a backslidden Christian. Jaime had people around him, who were speaking comforting and religious words, but not a lot of hope. As we talk to Jaime, I felt the Lord had a word for him; “The Lord said that you need to repent of your idols, and your rebellion, and that the destiny of your son was in your hands”. Jaime had not been living for the Lord, and he had not shared with his family the importance of knowing Jesus as their Lord and Savior. He shared with us that; he knew if his son died, he would go to hell and it would be his fault for not teaching his family about Jesus. Jaime felt the whole burden of his sin and the fact there was no fruit in his life. John 15:2 says: “Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit he prunes that it may bear more fruit”. Jaime got down on his knees right there in the hospital hall, and cried out to God, repented and asked God to forgive him for his rebellion, and for putting things ahead of God, especially the way he was leading his family. He was very loud, crying and could be heard throughout the floor. His brother reminded him of an affair he had with another woman, and he continued to ask forgiveness from the Lord for all the idols he allowed in his life.
After this he said to us: “Thank you for speaking to my heart, no one else did that. Others were comforting me, but from you I heard what I needed to hear”.
We then left the hospital, and within two days we received a call, we were told that the doctors did a test on his brain, they said that his brain is functioning and sending signals to the body. They also said the bleeding had stopped. Two days after that we received another call, they said, “He is breathing on his own and showing signs of improvement.” We were also informed that, Jaime gathered together all his family members and went to church, and gave thanks to God and praised him, that his boy was alive and recovering. Thank you Jesus, you are so quick to restore, once Jaime repented of his sins. All the glory be to God!
The Lord’s joy, prepared several hearts at an elderly home
We had the honor to go and minister at an elderly home in Lima. We were greeted warmly by the staff, and they prepared a gathering room where we could talk to the residents. We shared our testimony, especially about our oldest son, Richard, who had been set free from schizophrenia. They listened intently, and asked questions; and were in awe of what the Lord did and how free a person our son is today. We shared how God is a supernatural God, and his power can set you free of anything if you call upon him. We also shared how this is not about a denomination or a religion, but it’s about knowing personally this all-powerful God; who created the universe. We lead them in a prayer of repentance, asking God to forgive them, then showing them how to ask Jesus into their heart.
Their hearts had been prepared, and we just brought the message; the good news. Many, including staff members, raised their hands to show they had prayed to receive Jesus into their hearts. What a glorious sight that was!
An elderly lady came up to talk with Joyce after the prayer and said, “This message was just for me. Thank you, it is what I needed to hear”. Later, we wondered, “How many of them are close to leaving this earth?”
Elderly lady, very angry at her daughter for putting her here
We visited Toriba, one of the residents in her room. She was very upset with her daughter for putting her there and then leaving her. We confronted her about her bitterness toward her daughter. We shared what God’s word says about this. “If you don’t forgive, there is no forgiveness for you”. This spoke to her heart, and she repented of her issues against her daughter, she then prayed to receive Jesus into her heart. The peace of God was on her as we left her room. Praise be to the Prince of peace!
91-year-old lady, healed of a 20 years of pain
Rosa, a 91-year-old Christian lady, had fallen off a horse when she was 70. Later the Lord healed her back and legs, bones and the damaged areas. She had been in ongoing pain for the last 20 years. We grew out her legs, and she began to walk without pain. When she began to walk she had a big surprised look on her face, and the joy of the Lord was upon her, as all the pain was gone. Thank you Jesus!
Elderly lady gets healed and tells us of a dream she just had
Rosa Garcia, an 87-year-old lady, had a really neat personality. She had fallen two years ago and had hurt her hip and back. We laid hands on her and grew out her legs, and all the pain was gone. She took her walker and put her faith into action, she was relieved that she could walk without pain. We asked her if she ever asked Jesus into her heart? She said: “I’m ready to do that”. Rosa prayed to receive Jesus, and after that, gave us a big thumbs up. She told us of a dream she had yesterday. She shared how an Angel came to her and said: “I have come to be here with you; I am sending someone to you”. Thank you Lord for preparing this Dear heart!
Holy laughter brings a smile to a sad lady
Maria, an 83-year-old lady, had such a sad look on her face. There was a tumor behind her knee, and she had other problems in her body. We laid hands on her cursed that tumor, and spoke peace over her body. She felt the pain leave, and she begin to move around without restrictions. She prayed to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior. At that time Joyce, myself, the interpreter, and 2 assistants in the room begin to laugh so hard. The Holy Spirit was all over them, and they were holding their bellies from laughing so hard. This happened two different times! The second time Maria began to loosen up, and a smile showed up on her face. Laughter is medicine for the soul, and the staff members were highly touched by the Holy Spirit, to the point they couldn’t contain themselves. The joy of the Lord was on every one in the room! Thank you Jesus!
We visited, a mighty servant of the Lord: a 95-year-old former pastor
Pastor Carlos, a former pastor, 95 years old and suffering with a tumor on his prostate . He has been all over Peru, where no missionary has gone, he never married, and worked with adults and children. His mission was to build up pastors in the north. We were honored to be in the room with him. Pastor Andres, our interpreter, knew Pastor Carlos for many years. We had Pastor Andres lay hands on him in the prostate area, and we spoke to the issues in his body. Pastor Andres said, he felt something going on while his hand was on him. What a precious servant! “Blessed are the feet of those who bring the good news.”
The caregivers and staff were touched by the Holy Spirit and were hungry for more of God
We had a chance to minister to the staff members, and some of their family. They deeply enjoyed our visit, and were so grateful that we came and spent the day with all of their people. The joy of the Lord, was so present in that place. We got to pray for several of the staff, and also gave them books on “Healing The Whole Man”, by Joan Hunter. This was a very special day for all, including us. Joyce and I, have always had a special place in our hearts for the elderly, as there is so much wisdom that comes with the gray hair. We both had the opportunity to minister in love to our own parents as they progressed in years. We were blessed to be in their midst today, for this very fruitful, appointed and anointed visit. Thank you Holy Spirit for arranging this supernatural encounter!!
Chain reaction #1
Taxi driver receives Jesus. Days later his entire family receives ministry
Julio had been our taxi driver for a few days; and the Lord put it in my heart to talk to him about Jesus. As we were traveling to the elderly home, I asked him if he knew Jesus? He said; “no but my wife is a Christian”. So we shared how Jesus wants a relationship with him, and he said; “I’m ready to do that”. Once we got to our destination, while sitting in the cab, Julio prayed and repented of his sins and asked Jesus into his heart. Julio, now became a spiritual brother, “Hermano”. There was immediate change in Julio’s face, as the joy of the Lord was all over.
Continuation of chain reaction #1:
Days later we were asked to come to minister at Julio’s home
Lady with AIDS
We ministered to Julio’s daughter-in-law, Kelly. Kelly was diagnosed with terminal sickness of AIDS. She was a Christian, but no longer attended church. After asking her questions; she expressed how she was holding her mother in unforgiveness .We shared with her what God’s word says about unforgiveness, and she willingly said: “I must forgive her”. We helped her to pray and release all bitterness against her mother. After she prayed she said: “I feel like I want to go and hug her and tell her I love her; I feel good”. We then had legal rights to pray over her; where we spoke a new immune blood system, and we cast off all spirits of AIDS, sickness, and any other spirit that had a legal hold on her. She had a big sigh of relief after that. Thank you Jesus!

After that we prayed for the entire family. The Lord guided us to their home; first by our driver Julio, being changed, and then coming home and shared his experience with Jesus, to his family. We believe the Lord did much healing in Julio’s household. Thank you Lord for preparing this chain reaction, may God be Glorified.

Lady renounces witchcraft and receives Jesus into your heart
Marlene, asked for prayer for: high blood pressure, kidney infection, and anemia. She said she was a Christian, stating everyone who believes in God is a Christian. We had to let her know, that is not a true statement; because even the demons believe in God, and they shutter. We shared with her the story of our oldest son, whom the devil tried to destroy. We shared how we learned about authority in Matthew: 18:18-19, and how we came to know God personally through his son, so we are able to use that authority in the name of Jesus. Bottom line is: We had to know him personally, not just know about him.
We asked; “Do you want to know God personally”? She said: “of course”. She prayed and asked Jesus into your heart, and for him to become her Lord and Savior. We had to make sure she understood that; it is not about religion, about any denomination, as this is totally understanding and receiving what Jesus did at the cross just for you. She said: “I understand this”. Then we had her renounce and repent of some of the activities she did years ago, especially dealing with witchcraft and tarrot cards.

Victoria, who lost her husband 25 years ago, grieved over her son not wanting to come back from Italy and be involved in her life. After talking with her, she forgave her husband of his drinking and abuse. We also addressed the issue about wanting her son to come home. We shared, how her son is an adult and it would be selfishness on her part to dominate his life that way. She repented of this, and saw that she needed to come to a place of trust in God, not requesting the presence of her son, to meet all her needs. We laid hands on her and commanded that grieving spirit, and any spirit of depression to go in the name of Jesus Christ. We prayed that the joy of the Lord would be restored in her.
Alcoholic, abusive husband and father, repents and gives his heart to Jesus
Virgilio, a 76-year-old man, had a long history of drinking and abuse towards his family. He came asking for prayer for many physical issues in his body; liver, and the kidneys not working well, lungs, diabetes, blood issues and depression.
We shared how his body is dependent on himself, and not on Jesus, who is the healer. After allowing him to seeing the condition of his body, his family, his soul and where everything is heading because of his decisions; Virgilio decided to ask Jesus into his heart. He repented of all the bad things he had done, especially to his wife. He looked his daughter in the eyes and asked her to forgive him. Later when his wife came into the room, he asked her to forgive him for all the abuse and pain he put her through. We then laid hands on him for all the physical issues, and spoke healing into each area. Afterwards he said: “I feel calm now”. He left with the mission in his heart; to ask the rest of his family to forgive him. Thank you Jesus!
A mother and father cohabiting, became aware of God’s view of marriage
Milagras, the daughter of Virgilio; brought her boyfriend Alberto, who in are the parents of a three-year-old boy. They both came from abusive, alcoholic backgrounds. They were having relationship problems, because of the drinking issues. Alberto had pain in his ribs, and his heart was beating fast. Milagras shared with us a dream she had: “The dream showed how she would be talking to foreigners “.
At that point we shared the gospel with them, both listened and contributed to the conversation, and, after sharing how much Jesus loves them enough to die for them; they both prayed and asked Jesus into their hearts. Alberto said: “I feel more calm”. Milagras added: “Things feel clearer”. Then we laid hands on them and prayed over their bodies; we believe the Lord healed them both. After prayer, we posed a question to them: “Now what does God think about your living conditions”? We asked them; as they raise their child will he understand commitment? The final word we had for them was: “We came a long way to see you to let you know Jesus loves you, and you need to make changes. That you no longer have an excuse, because of what you heard today from us”.
Lady forgives her husband, and commits her life to Jesus
Mery, the wife of Virgilio, suffered from depression, and a lack of trust in her husband. She said: “He says I’m sorry but keeps doing abusive things that hurt me; I have a hard time trusting his words”. After sharing with her, how she needs to give her husband another chance; he’s entitled to repent, and you need to trust the Lord to do the work in his heart. Mery surrendered her life to Jesus, and forgave her husband. She said: “I feel peace”. We reminded her that she has to give her husband a chance to change, trusting Jesus to do that in both of them! Thank you Lord, for preparing the hearts of this entire family; to repent and to receive you.
No more pain, and I can bend my fingers; and then was baptized in the Holy Spirit and with fire
HayDee, who suffered from arthrosis in her neck and hands, she said her hands would fall asleep. We laid hands on her and spoke to those areas and commanded all the nerves to be released. She said: “No more pain and I can now bend my fingers”. We then asked her if she was baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues? She stated: “I had an experience once after a retreat, but; I want more”. We laid hands on her and spoke the fire of God into her, She immediately begin to shake and started speaking in tongues with much power. HayDee said: “I feel fire down in my belly, and it was going up to my mouth”. She began to cry, and was so happy to experience the hand of God on her. There was no denying the power of the Holy Spirit, that was flowing from the utterances coming out of her belly. This all took place in the presence of a precious Baptist lady; in her apartment. We believe this was an undeniable powerful witness to her. Jesus, you are the healer, and you are the baptizer.
Lady with many family problems receives Jesus into her heart and is set free
Maria had four sons, 3 of them by 1 father, and, one son by the present man she was living with. She experienced much abuse from the first man, whom she was never married to. She had a lot of bad memories, with unforgiveness toward the first man. After spending time with her, and explaining how freedom comes with forgiveness, she was ready to let it all go and give it to Jesus. She prayed and asked Jesus into her heart, also forgiving people from her past that hurt her, including the abusive father of the three boys. With the forgiveness, also came healing to her body.
We challenged her about living with this current man and not making a commitment to marriage. That living together, though it might seem convenient, is not pleasing to God. She said her 10-year-old son said to her one day: “mom you should not kiss dad until you are married, when will you get Married?” Than she understood the importance! We told her now you are able to go on to be a real woman, because you have these ugly things out of your life. She said while her body was trembling: “I feel like something went out of my body” Thank you Jesus; Maria is set free!
Prayed for a lady with Lou Gehrig’s disease
We were taken to a private home to pray for, Maritza, who had Lou Gehrig’s disease. This began to develop in her life five years ago. We asked the husband several questions, in order to identify what took place in her life prior to this disease. Then we had her repent of some areas in her life, with relational matters. We then laid hands on her and cursed that spirit of death, all trauma, the spirit of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Next week had her renounce all generational curses. We commanded the body to function normally now, in the name of Jesus Christ. Maritza had tears coming out of her eyes. After this, we felt led to instruct the husband about his prayers that they be spoken by faith. Tears won’t heal your wife, begging won’t work either; but prayers of faith will. No more prayers of “If it be your will”. It is his will to heal, and you need to believe that! This was something the husband needed to hear, as this was important for him to deal with his spoken words of unbelief. If you have been praying for years and nothing has happened, you need to look at why, and ask the question: how am I praying wrong?
Caregiver receives prayer, and direction also
The nurse caregiver, that was taking care of Maritza, was agreeing with everything she was hearing, especially the counseling that the husband needed about prayer. We could see this was also ministering to her. Joyce prayed for her soon coming baby. She was very open, and extremely blessed by the words spoken by Joyce.
A visit to Pastor Juan’s church, several baptized in the Holy Spirit
We were invited to Pastor Juan’s church, to minister to his body of about 40 people. After sharing the word of God with them, the Lord directed us to call up anyone wanting to be baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit, about 15 people responding. We explained about the gift of speaking in tongues, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Then we laid hands on each of them, as they received. Some begin to shake, as they spoke in tongues. Jesus is the baptizer!
The pain is gone from the back and the throat
Juan, asked for prayer for his back, throat, his prostate, and for hemorrhoids. After laying hands on him he said: “The pain is gone from my back and also my throat”. Thank you Jesus!
Hearing restored
A lady came forward asking for prayer about her hearing. After speaking healing into her inner ear, we put it to the test by snapping our fingers behind her head. She could hear that snapping. Each time we would step back a little further, each time she would nod her head and say, “I can hear that”. Thank you Jesus!
Pain in throat, gone
Sophia, a young girl, had throat problems for one week, with inflammation and pain. After Joyce laid hands on her, all the pain and discomfort was gone. Praise you Jesus!
Lower back and heels hurt, not anymore
Constantino, had lower back waist area pain, and the bottom of her feet at the heels, hurt continuously, to the point she could not stand. Joyce grew out her legs. Then she put her faith into action by walking and standing, she said: “The pain is gone, and I can walk and stand without having to sit down”. Thank you Jesus!
Eyesight restored
Nicolosa, who had eyesight problems, and currently having pain in her feet. As we laid hands on her and spoke to the areas, she became very happy and said, “My eyesight is much better, and the pain in my feet and heels are gone.”
Shoulders, arms, and hand pain, is gone
Amalia, came asking for prayer. She was having shoulder problems, pain in her arms when they are raised, pain in her hands, and arthritis. She was so happy after growing out her arms and legs, as the pain was gone and she could move her arms without restrictions. Thank you Jesus, you are the healer!
Harvest time
Harraldo, who had constant pain in his legs, asking for prayer for varicose veins. We laid hands on his legs, commanding the valves to function properly and the blood to flow normally. We then had him sit down and we grew out his legs. We had him put in to the test, by bending over. He said with a smile: “ all the pain is gone out of my legs”.
We asked him if he was a Christian, he said he had a religion. We asked him, do you want receive Jesus into your heart? He said: “I want to do that”. He bowed his head and prayed to receive Jesus into his heart. We told him you came in here as an old man, but you’re leaving as a new person. The joy of the Lord was upon him! We had him turn to the church people, as we asked him to tell them what he just did. Harraldo, turned to the people stating: “I just made Jesus Lord of my life”. Everyone applauded!! After the service, he was so grateful for us coming there.
One and a half years of pain, all gone
Elizabeth, who suffered with pain in her feet, waist, knees and legs, asked for prayer. Joyce grew out her legs, while speaking to her body. Then we had her put her faith into action. Then we had her turn towards the people and share her testimony. She said: “I have had pain in my legs, feet, waist and my knees for over 1 ½ years , and I want to say all the pain is gone”.
Holy Spirit party
Several churches combined together for a Holy Spirit healing service
It was arranged for us to speak at an outdoor arena, and to share on healing. As things changed, which they often do, they now rented a hall in the hills of Lima and had all the churches come there for a Holy Spirit healing service. As a worship team began and continued, and continued, we were beginning to wonder what was going on. We then found out that there was no interpreter available. So the seven pastors decided we would line up everyone, one row at a time with catchers; and Joyce and I would lay hands on all. The Lord had a plan, and that was that many would be blessed. Once we started laying hands on people, many were slain in the spirit, and the Holy Spirit ministered to them while on the floor. Once we started laying hands on people, an interpreter showed up to assist us.
Retired police officer, now a pastor
A retired police officer, that we met one year ago, praying for several issues in his life including witchcraft in his background, experienced a major deliverance . The Lord set him free, and today he is a changed man, and also a pastor. He is one of the pastors, that arranged this Holy Ghost party. Lord you are awesome, nothing can set people totally free, the way you do it Lord!
We believe many healings were taking place, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit
Then we had an opportunity to lay hands on all seven pastors, and to send them out charged with the power of God, to continue to do the work of the ministry through the Holy Spirit. There was real fulfilling excitement in the air, the Holy Spirit was touching everyone; the joy the Lord was so present. Note: Not knowing the circumstances nor how many pastors would be there, we brought seven books with us on “Healing The Whole Man” by Joan Hunter, Just enough books. Lord you are awesome, you had a better plan, we didn’t even need an interpreter.
Another chain reaction; starting with two people and ending with many healings and salvation
We were taken to the house of an 83-year-old man, Alejo, whose precious wife, Dorothy (we pray for two years ago), had gone home to be with Jesus. Alejo had back problems and the doctor said he had osteoporosis. He was in pain and wore a back harness. We laid hands on him and grew out his legs. He begin to walk with more stability and the pain slowly disappearing. He asked us: “what do I do if the pain comes back?” We told him to resist the devil and he will flee. Claim your healing and hang onto it!
Chain reaction#1
We returned later that day to pray for their son, Robert, his wife and daughter.
Robert had been recovering from alcohol abuse, and also needed prayer for a knee problem, which might need surgery. Suzet, his wife, showed up and began to express her heart about issues she had with Robert. After some discussion, they both asked each other for forgiveness , and they both recommitted their lives to Jesus. Robert, also renounced some past experiences he had with a Ouija board. Suzet forgave him of not being a good example to their daughter. We laid hands on the daughter for stomach issues, believing the Lord healed her and she would have peace and sleep well at night. We grew out Roberts legs, and spoke a new cartilage and commanded the meniscus to heal. He put his faith into action, it was hurting before, but not now. He did deep knee bends, and turned sideways, he said; “when the doctor did that it hurt, but not now”.
As Robert was driving us home, he asked us if he could arrange it; would we come pray for his father-in-law, that he also works for? We told him to arrange it and we would come.
Chain reaction#2 (and then)
Several days later we were picked up by a private driver and taken to Luis’s home, who was Robert’s father-in-law, and also his boss. Luis and his wife, Haydee, were very successful people who owned and operated a bakery and pastry business, and had great success in shipping their products to many nations. They shared; how they were tied up and robbed 12 years ago at their business. As a result of that Haydee experienced a lot of fear, panic, depression, pain in her arms and headaches. Luis had psoriasis, spine pain an enlarged liver. He also had deep concerns for his wife, Haydee. We prayed for Luis, grew out his legs, cursed the spirit of psoriasis and commanded all itching and inflammation to go. We also cursed the spirit of trauma from the robbery. Then we had him put his faith into action; he bent over and touched his toes, then with a big smile said: “all the pain is gone”.
Joyce prayed for Haydee’s neck, grew out her arms, and prayed for her knees. She cursed the trauma from the robbery, and came against all forms of depression. Joyce gave her one of her big “Joyce hugs”. We could see relief on Haydee; immediately she said: “ she was feeling better and the pain was gone”.
After this we talked about the Lordship of Jesus Christ, with both of them. We explained that this is a heart issue, not a head issue. If you want God’s power in your life, you need to make a decision. They both said: “We are ready”. They then asked Jesus into their hearts, to take away all the burdens. The peace of God was there, for both of them. Luis said: “I feel so good my wife is healed”, they were both smiling.
Then they asked us to pray over their house! Haydee has a spa business, and some of the customers that come for treatment, are possibly into sorcery and are of questionable character. We prayed over each room, and felt a change in the house. They then dedicated their home to the Lord, and all those that were a part of it.
Chain reaction #3 (and then)
In route back to the place where we were staying, I began to share with Robert about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He shared how he would hear his mother praying at night, especially when he was not doing good things; in a language that was not English or Spanish, and I noticed my behavior changed whenever she prayed. After I shared about this special gift, he took off his hat in the vehicle and said: “I want this it will make me very happy”. Robert got baptized in Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues. He said: “I feel it coming out of my belly”, smiling he said: “that’s great”.
Chain reaction#4 (and then)
The driver, Abraham, who is listening to our conversation, the best he could understand, because it was not in Spanish. Abraham said: “I have some things I want you to pray with me about”. I have pain in my body, inflammation, a prostate issue, and I’m always sleepy. Once we got to our destination, we had Abraham get out of the vehicle; then laid hands on him and prayed for all these issues. The Lord healed him, and all the pain was gone. After this, I confronted Abraham about who he wants to live for; and who do you want to be in charge of your body? He said Jesus; Abraham bowed his head and asked Jesus to come into his life to be his Lord and Savior. He raised his arms with a big huge smile; he praised and thanked Jesus. Amen!
Chain reaction#5 (and then)
On our last day of ministry, Suzet wanted to stop by and see us, before we returned home. At 10 AM that morning they were parked out front; the driver Abraham, Suzet, and four women. They were invited to come in, so all the women came into the home where we were staying with the pastor. Three of the women were sisters of Luis; and the other, was the mother of Luis’s grandson, the father, being Luis’s son. They were living together in Luis’s home.
Maria, had headaches, pain in her waist, arms, and felt very anxious. Joyce prayed over her neck, arms, pelvis area, and grew out her legs. She had a major adjustment in her pelvis area. We also discussed with her about some forgiveness issues. The headache was gone, and all pain was gone as she smiled and said: “Thank you Jesus”.
Giselle, also a sister of Luis, suffer from migraines, back problems, pain when she opened and closed her hands, knee pain, and always upset about something. We confronted her about forgiveness of people she had issues with. She was ready to let go of the bitterness and the hurt from them. She prayed and forgave them, asking God to forgive her for being a judge. Joyce laid hands on her for all the other issues, and she got instant relief, except the headache still lingered some. Joyce laid hands on her head, and commanded all 100% of the pain to go. It was totally gone, she was set free.
Marlene, another sister to Luis, had diabetes, high blood pressure, back issues, nervous condition, smoked heavily, addicted to the casinos, and had un- forgiveness issues with her ex-husband. Joyce prayed over her for all these issues, and grew out her arms. She forgave her ex-husband , which was a major open-door for Satan to plague her body. That started the healing process, with all these physical problems.
Maria, was the 37-year-old mother of Luis’s grandchild. She was suffering from anxiety, and unforgiveness issues. She has two children by another man, she had been married to. She has a compulsion to eat, as she sees food as a way of escape. Joyce prayed for her anxiety and eating issues. We talked with her about marriage, and what God thinks about a decision to live with a man, that is not her husband. How does this affect your child when he is older? She was confronted about rebellion, the unforgiveness issues in her life, and she knew what we were talking about. She repented of the rebellion and chose to forgive some people. We then cast out the spirit of fear, trauma, addictions to food, and that spirit of rebellion in Jesus name.
Final chain reaction: Kingdom expansion (and finally)
After ministering to all 4 of them, we talked to them about the anxiety, fear, the uncertainty, the addictions, the unforgiveness issues, bitterness, and all the other acts that are not of love. We said: “Do you want these out of your lives?” They all said: “Yes, we are tired of this life”! Jesus is the answer to every one of those issues. At that moment they all repeated the prayer of salvation and asked Jesus to become their Lord and Savior. Praise you Jesus! That was the greatest miracle of all! We encouraged them to get into a Bible teaching church, and to develop a prayer group with each other as a support system for their Christian walk. Each one was given a “Healing The Whole Man” book. The joy of the Lord was so present, and the angels in heaven were rejoicing. They all left with a big smile on their faces, like a sigh of relief, like a burden that was lifted . There was no smiles on their faces, no not one, when they first sat down with us in the room. Jesus you are the transformer, hallelujah! The signs and wonders were very evident, thank you Jesus for confirming your word.
House visit: Unforgiveness causes sickness
Alexandra, who we prayed for a year ago, had been experiencing pain in her breast and water coming out of her nipple. She also had neck pain and muscle problems. We asked her if there was a woman that she was not forgiving, and she said: “Yes” (Jeremiah 21:14). Then we addressed the issue of unforgiveness to her; and she was quick to repent! Then we had the authority to kick the demon out of her body, as Joyce laid hands on her. She was doing much better, because: the cause of the sickness was dealt with, through the authority in the name of Jesus Christ.
Pulled the arrows out of a young man’s heart, and asked Jesus to come and fill that empty void in his heart
Leonardo, a young man who had heart pain; like pins sticking in his heart when he runs, and he also does not breathe well. He shared how his mother would speak words of failure over him whenever he did not succeed. “See I told you so”. He repented of any unforgiveness toward his mother, and we told him that was not a true statement of who he was. We pulled those arrows out of his heart, and severed all those word curses over him. He said: “My breathing is different now, and I feel calm”. He said he was not a Christian, even though he went to church. We explained the Gospel to him, and asked him if he was ready to turn his life over to Jesus? He said: “Yes”. We prayed for his other issues and the Lord healed him. Thank you Jesus! We had him jump vigorously up and down, he said: “Feels good now”.
Older lady with several emotional issues, receives Jesus into your heart
Rosa, a grandmother, fell on the steps, had a stroke, experiencing heart pain, very nervous now, poor vision and had held unforgiveness and bitterness toward her sister. We asked her what is more important in your life; your health, or holding someone in unforgiveness? She said: “Her health”. She repented of her sin of bitterness toward her sister. Then we presented the gospel to her, and she prayed to receive Jesus into her heart. Then Joyce laid hands on her for her eyes and other issues. Rosa said: “Jesus is in my heart now, I feel much better”. We cast out the spirit of fear, trauma from the falls, nervousness, and any spirit attempting to bind her. Thank you Jesus, for this soul today!
Last year’s visit, good report
Juanna said: “ No trauma experienced since last year’s visit”. She was concerned about her mother, Rosa, but believing God now for her well-being, because she prayed to asked Jesus into her heart. Joyce prayed over her body, or her arms, shoulders and legs. She was relieved! Thank you Jesus!
San Diego school; a class of 30 students, many received Jesus, including staff
We had the honor of going to San Diego school, which conducts all their classes and activities in English, where Spanish is actually considered a second language. Pastor Andres our interpreter, at one time taught English at this school. We were given about 45 minutes to talk to them about any topic. We talked about marriage, about relationships and how important that is. We also discussed how everyone is uniquely made, all, with special gifts and skills. No one is like you!
We shared our story about our oldest son, Richard, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. We shared how the devil tried to destroy him, but God’s plan prevailed in his full life. We shared about how God had a plan for their lives, and it cannot come into full existence and bear fruit, except through Jesus Christ. You have the key to the door of your heart. It’s up to you to open that door, and let him come in and live inside you. Then and only then will you be able to use your skills and bear fruit that will last forever. Jesus is the creator, he made your skills and gifts just for you.
The Holy Spirit was moving on the young people, as well as the adults
With our time coming to a close; we wanted to lead them in a prayer, asking Jesus to come into their heart. If they were ready to make that commitment, to bow their head, and speak from their heart.
After the prayer we asked who prayed that prayer from their heart? Nearly all the class of 30 raised their hands, some with great boldness. We had noticed that both of the staff members, who were in the room, also lowered their heads to pray. One of them said: “Now this is not an event just for today, but it is a lifetime decision”. Amen brother, you spoke our heart. I believe both men were touched by the Holy Spirit.
Office lady repents of unforgiveness and receives her healing
Jaunita, an office clerk who worked for the school, said she has arthrosis (a degeneration that begins in the joints and goes to the bones) and it was affecting her hands, shoulders, knees, and hips. We asked a few questions: Are you a Christian? She said: “Yes”. We asked her if there was any unforgiveness in her life? Once again she said: “Yes”. She named a specific person! We explained how she had violated God’s law; by being a judge over a person. We said: “There is no forgiveness for you if you do not forgive”. She repented and chose to forgive that person. Now, we have legal rights to lay hands on her. Joyce grew out her legs, arms, and rotated her pelvis area. After putting her faith into action, she said: “All the pain is gone”. Jesus you are the healer, you gave us the victory 2000 years ago.
Pastor Rosa’s church
Lord send us a Nathan
We were invited to return to Pastor Rosa’s church, who is a dear sister in Christ that has opened up her church to us the last three years.
I shared on the story of King David, who had fallen into sin with Bathshiba. King David, assumed all was well with his secret, until the Lord sent a man named Nathan. The message was about; how we need a Nathan in our lives, to shake us out of a lie. “Lord if I need a Nathan, send him”. There was a strong anointing over this message, as I spoke it. The church needs a bold Nathan to come forward, and to destroy all wrong assumptions. We need a NATHAN ANOINTING!!!!
A call for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit, and the joy of the Lord
After the message, we gave a call for all those who wanted a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit; to come forward and lineup. The presence of the Lord was very strong; Pastor Rosa, her staff, the interpreter, and several others were slain in the spirit, and the joy of the Lord was ever so present.
Ministry to 4 unmarried women, with bad living experiences with men
Four women came forward requesting prayer and guidance for their relationship with men. Three of them were cohabiting with men, who had no intentions of marrying these women. We asked what does God’s word say about this type of relationship? We told them that God believes in marriage; in fact he invented it, and he has not changed his mind. A key question we asked them was: what is more important: your relationship with the Lord, or living with these men in sin? They all agreed and said: “The Lord, is the most important relationship in our lives”. We then told them; “So now you know what you need to do”.

This was the Open door for us to lay hands on her, and for the Lord to begin the restoration. We broke the power of the devil off of her, and cursed the spirit of cancer off her body, and spoke peace over her. Also we Broke that spirit of trauma, that was affecting her very existence.

The bankers were coming monthly asking for payments; and this put great stress upon her. We spent some time talking to Elizabeth about forgiveness. She chose to forgive her ex-husband and his lady friend.
We laid hands on her, and cursed all the condemnation, that had become a burden in her Christian walk. We cast out the spirit of poverty; and the lies of the devil telling her she is a victim, and it will never change.
We declared her to have supernatural favor with her banker, and a great increase would come to her little store front business. Afterwards she said: “I have peace, I feel calm and free now, and not concerned about the debt; the Lord will handle it”. Lord you are the deliverer, and the best financial planner!
Young man set free of demonic (an enemy to your soul) oppression

Braulio had been hurt deeply by the separation of his parents, and longed for a closer relationship with his father. He lost his faith in God, and was living in the world. He just broke up with his girlfriend, who had, according to him, many demons in her life. We talked to him about returning to the Lord, and trusting God for the right woman to enter into his life. We did share with him, what it would be like on the last day on earth for him. Would there be angels coming to escort him into the presence of God, or would it be demons coming to drag him into hell?
I had mentioned to him twice; that you do have an enemy to your soul, and when I repeated it the second time, and a demon manifested and turning toward me. I spoke to the demon and exposed it, commanding it; “In the name of Jesus I cast you off him now”. The demon left him!
Later he told his mother: “I felt out of control; when they were speaking to me, something took place in my body; then it left”. He also shared with her; “My skin felt different, I had peace, and I wanted to cry, but I held it back in front of these people”. Thank you Jesus you are the deliver!

She said, “Wow, the head pain is gone, and I also felt something going on in my body.!I cannot describe it.” Thank you Holy Spirit!

A house visit to a cancer patient
Adid, a lady who lived up in the rain forest area, ( which is about a 24 hour drive), has been battling stomach cancer for over three years. We were introduced to her, and having learned to ask questions: We asked ;“What happened in your life maybe four years ago”? She shared with us how she was divorced ,from a 15 year marriage, with an abusive alcoholic husband. As she shared; we felt there was still some anger toward this man. We asked if she was ready to totally forgive him? She said: “yes”. After the unforgiveness was dealt with, we then had the authority to curse that cancer, and speak healing to all damaged areas. We cursed all generational curses, and spoke that her energy level would be restored. She did not speak much, but she appeared relieved. Thank you Holy Spirit!
Throat pain gone
Maria, 49, was experiencing stress, trauma, and throat pain. She repented to the Lord for taking on the stress, and allowing trauma anyplace in her life. Joyce laid hands on her neck area and spoke healing to her throat, and cursed all stress and trauma. She said: “The throat pain is totally gone”.
No time for church
Juan, a husband to one of the ladies, expressed how he does not go to church with his wife, who is a believer, because he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his social friends.
I shared how God would give him friends; that would really re- describe what a friend is. He has a son who was close to death, but God’s mercy saved him. He was most grateful, but not to the point of going to church with his wife and giving thanks. We shared how being with his wife in her spiritual walk, will bring love, honor, respect, and spiritual harmony to them both.
A return to: Pastor Annibal’s church
Pastor Annibal, so graciously invited us back to his church; this was our third visit in the three years of ministry to Peru. The church had been fasting and praying!
I shared on the compassion, that Jesus had toward the gaderene demonic in Luke 8:27-28. The world needs to see what God’s love and compassion are. The church is the only conduit he has chosen to use. Our testimony of Jesus’s compassion, is so important. An example: we share with you how valuable our interpreter is to us, and how she can communicate the message to all those who are listening. How important it is to have a person of high caliber to interpret. This is also a good illustration, of how we communicate the love and compassion of Jesus, to those who are listening. We are the communicators, let’s do it so that the listener can experience the love of Jesus, and compassion of Jesus.
Hearing getting better and better
Mercedes, who is 32, came asking for prayer for hearing; which she was about at a 90% loss. We laid hands on her three different times, and each time the hearing improved to the point of 50% of full function. We believe, by faith, she has full hearing, and that it will manifest. Thank you Jesus!

She said, when she was 15 or 16 she had an encounter with God that way. I asked her if she was ready for a new fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit? Maria said, “Yes I am ready”.
I laid hands on her, and prayed over her as she received; and began to speak in other tongues. I asked her what she had experienced? Maria said, “Power was coming out of me as I spoke in tongues”. Jesus you are the baptizer, thank you Jesus!
Many came forward: desiring prayer and a touch of the Holy Spirit
For the sake of time, we had those who were remaining for prayer to come forward, and form a line; then Joyce and I would lay hands on each one of them.

Several were touched by the power of the Holy Spirit, including the pastors, their spouses, and the church staff.

After sharing with her God’s commandments about love and forgiving, she forgave her husband and the other woman. Then we prayed for the stress in her life, cursing that spirit, and we also prayed for the gastritis. She said: “I have peace, now”.

Pastor Vega’s church
I shared on 2 Samuel 12:1-13, the story of David committing the sin of adultery, and then killing the woman’s husband to cover his sin. David was operating in the sin of assumption, thinking it was business as usual (going on and doing his kingly duties), until God sent Nathan; the prophet, to confront King David. I shared how we all need a “Nathan” to bring us out of any form of the sin of assumption. Assumptions can put us on a road of destruction, unless we are confronted some way, or by a “Nathan”. We need to walk in transparency, so that the world can see the supernatural, through us, who he calls his body!

Thank you Jesus, you are our Redeemer!

They would meet nightly, to continue making plans for their summer wedding. They asked us to come back for the wedding. We told them we would love to but, that time of year would be quite difficult to leave. We laid hands on both of them, and prayed for their marriage, their life together, and their ministry. We feel the Lord has great plans for them! What a beautiful couple, and how committed they are to Jesus.
Final ministry: Lady baptized in the Holy Spirit
Anna, 46, began serving the Lord two years ago. She said she experienced a lot of fear, and her body shakes at different times. The doctors don’t know what causes it, and they are only guessing. There has been some witchcraft on her husband’s side, including her mother-in-law. We then had her renounce all witchcraft, and had her pray breaking all generational curses.
We asked her if she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. She said, “No”. We asked if she wanted to receive this gift. She said, without hesitation, “Yes”. I laid hands on her, and she began to cry. She said she felt something burning down in her belly, and said, “I felt some strange sounds coming up”. We told her not to fight it, but let the Holy Spirit minister to her spirit. Let the utterances come! She was excited and charged, and the fear was gone. Thank you Jesus, you are the baptizer!
