San Francisco Bay Area Report

The following EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT is from Lani Langlais of New Wine Ministries and VCFSF in San Francisco...

There is an avalanche of Heaven falling at Celebration Community Church, San Jose, California as Kevin & Lorna Matthews minister the love and power of God.  How close do you want to be to the Lord?  His immeasurable transcendent immanence -- the nearness of Very God - is almost a shock.  You walk into the church as if into a spiritual blast furnace!  A Refinery.  And you worship in the Fire of God!

• A lady with bone cancer received healing, all pain disappeared and she regained full mobility throughout her body.

• A lady with a sizable tumor in her abdomen and who was scheduled to receive surgery the following day, was examined by the doctors prior to surgery. They found no evidence of the tumor remaining and canceled the surgery. The lady’s sister who was an atheist had flown from Texas to be with her through surgery. Following the miracle she came to the meetings and was gloriously saved!

• A lady in her early 20s who was suffering from scoliosis was completely healed, her spine became perfectly straight and she received full mobility throughout her body, being able to bend for the first time in years.

• A lady elder from an Assembly of God church came for prayer.  She was legally blind in one eye due to damage sustained while undergoing laser surgery, the retina having become torn and detached.  As she received prayer the eye was opened and her sight was completely restored.

• Over twenty people with torn ligaments in their knees were completely healed and were able to run and climb for the first time without aid. Some were so excited they went out of the church and ran around the parking lot.

• A man waiting for a shoulder reconstruction and who had been suffering acute pain for six years was instantly healed

• A Pastor who had suffered damage to his knee joint was instantly healed.

San Jose Healing Conference Report

Times of great outpouring and supernatural empowering were released in each service through this anointed couple!

*An incredible elevating in the spiritual realm took place, with prophetic revelation flowing!

*The healing impartation increased as further prophetic words confirmed that a "healing explosion" will occur at Celebration Community Church!

*The release of God's presence was so thick that people just driving into the parking lot experienced it -- some had difficulty walking into the building as they encountered this tangible manifestation!

*No one wanted to go home, as ministry continued well past midnight!

*The impartation to press for revival caused the people to literally lay hold of God's presence for the Bay area.  "I have released an army of angels into the San Francisco Bay Area," were among the Prophetic Words of the Lord given by Kevin Matthews.  "The Glory of the Lord IS over the Bay Area."

The scene is a place that  Prophetic Healing Evangelist Kevin Matthews calls "The Best-Kept Secret in America."  The story begins right here: 

Celebration Community Church
 ... My motivation in sharing this firsthand testimony is entirely to glorify, publish, praise, and declare the awesome works of God in our time and place for your edification, blessing, and impartation of the very anointing that is flowing here, by God's mercy and grace!

Now in Renewal for 21 months, Celebration people are used to seeing me striving to get into church without passing out in the the parking lot first. Just about everybody attending Celebration that night also noticed the profuse sparkles all over my face (neck, back, chest, arms, hands).  We all were glorifying God for this supernatural manifestation of His Presence.

Now, in these first two weeks of November, Prophetic Healing Renewal Evangelist Kevin Matthews returned to minister at Celebration, here in the SF Bay Area.

In His love, mercy, and grace, JESUS HEALED ME THAT WEEKEND AT CELEBRATION.

I sobbed through the glorious worship at this intersection of Heaven and Earth called Celebration Community Church in San Jose - as the Lord ministered to the depth of my very heart as only He can do.

That church could never have a graveyard adjacent.  Everybody would be up, resurrected, and dancing - joyously healed and delivered!

I testify to you with rigorous fidelity to truth that nearly everything sung, prophesied, and preached brought Rhema Word of unspeakable intensity and loveliness to me.  The Word of God is still thundering through my spirit.

Wish you all could hear Lorna Matthews sing Twila Paris' "Throne Room Suite," and Kevin & Lorna both preach, prophesy, and pray such Words of God to your yearning hearts that, roaring and soaring through you in His inexpressible tenderness and passion, tear down every hindrance in their path. It feels like comets inside.

Kevin Matthews prophesied a vision of 5 huge silver rings, like Olympic rings, many miles wide, representing 5 regions of Revival in Northern California.  They were as walls of silver around an area, symbolizing a remarkable purity of the coming Revival in that place - purity of expression of the release of the Spirit of God.

He also saw 12 golden pots at the back of the church, expansively symbolic of glorious healing anointing flowing at Celebration Community Church in San Jose.

Kevin and Lorna Matthews prayed prophetic impartation for healing ministry anointing upon us last night, after preaching on the gifting and releasing of anointing, and how to minister.

I am overcome with the sweetness and power of God's ministry through Kevin and Lorna Matthews, and profoundly grateful!  Thank you, Celebration Community Church!

Minnesota Report

We have spent the last 6 weeks ministering in Minnesota and have witnessed wonderful miracles as the Lord has visited churches there with His power. There are simply too many stories to recount here but we can mention a few that were of particular note. The number of miracles taking place has been overwhelming. Here are just a very few that we have details of:

Pastor Ken Fairbanks (a native Indian minister) from Tammerack, MN was healed of deafness in one ear. The wonderful thing about this healing was that Pastor Ken has NO bones in this inner ear. He has had seven operations and has received bone grafts on two separate occasions. Following these operations the replaced bones decayed and disappeared. Now the Lord has restored his hearing.

Teresa a young woman of 19 was born deaf in one ear and had only 60%  hearing in the other ear. Now her hearing has been completely restored in both ears.

A young man of 12 who was born totally deaf received back a measure of healing and was able to clearly hear music for the first time. He spent some time standing in front of the keyboard player as he led the worship amazed at what h was hearing. Upon witnessing this his mother and sister broke down and wept. We are believing for a total restoration of his hearing.

A woman declared legally blind received a healing in her eyes and received back sight. Upon examination her physician exclaimed, “I have never witnessed anything like this in all my years of practice, the cataracts in your eyes were so severe that they were inoperable, now they have completely disappeared.”

A woman in her 50’s was suffering from herniated disks in her middle back and was suffering intense pain after a number of surgeries that were unsuccessful in addressing the problem. She was also suffering from Fybromyalgia. Following prayer she received full mobility in her spine and was able to bend for the first time in several years. All of the pain disappeared as did the Fybromyalgia condition. She now has a full range of movement with no pain.

John, a man with one leg almost two inches shorter than the other was healed, his legs now being the same length. He had to remove the support from his shoe in order to walk properly.

We are so grateful to Jesus for the continuing display of His power. Lord let it increase in every place. Let your Kingdom come!

Powerful ministry with Kevin & Lorna Matthews  

We were very blessed here at Cornerstone Church,  FL. to have a weekend of ministry with Kevin and Lorna Matthews. Kevin and Lorna have been involved in the healing ministry as well as church planting and pioneering for over twenty eight years in Europe, Australia and the Philippines and have been traveling the US over the last 10 years ministering healing and renewal where ever they go.

Over three days we saw instant healings of chronic back pain, head aches, limbs growing out, bone spurs dissolving, severe arthritic pain left, respiratory distress instantly gone, etc. One terminally ill cancer patient reported his continuous headaches have disappeared, and we are awaiting a medical report.

Sunday morning was a blow out, as God’s presence filled the place and plastered everybody to the floor for over an hour while we simply soaked in the felt presence of God.

Sunday night we saw a hole blown in the fabric of the heavenlies over our area and some reported much angelic activity in our midst and other evidences of an open heaven while more of the same happened with healing, and the heaviness of God’s glory dropping almost everyone in the place to the floor for a long while. Children were dancing, while old men were weeping to see such a day of God’s power in our midst.

GLORY!!!
