In the heart of Iowa, in the vibrant city of Des Moines, a remarkable healing meeting took place, led by a woman named Stella. As the state’s beating heart, Des Moines is known for its economy, politics, culture, and nightlife. However, on this particular evening, it became the epicenter of faith and divine healing.
Stella, a passionate and devoted believer, organized the gathering in one of the city’s well-known community halls. People from across Des Moines and beyond, even from cities like Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Omaha, made the journey to attend. The word had spread about the miracles that often accompanied Stella’s meetings, and there was a palpable sense of anticipation in the air.
As attendees filled the hall, Stella took the stage with a warm, confident presence. She began by reminding everyone of the power of faith and the certainty of God’s will in healing. “We don’t serve a God of uncertainty,” she declared. “He has already made His will known. He is the God of healing, of restoration, and of miracles.”
The meeting commenced with fervent prayer, as hands were laid on those in need. Stella cited Mark 16:18, emphasizing that believers are called to place their hands on the sick so they may recover. “Jesus didn’t say this was only for pastors or preachers. He said this was for believers! Are you a believer? Do you have hands? Then you, too, can be an instrument of healing!” she proclaimed.
One by one, people stepped forward to receive prayer. A man with chronic back pain stood in faith as Stella placed her hands on him, declaring his healing in the name of Jesus. “Healing is not about what we see or feel at the moment,” she said. “It is about standing firm on God’s Word and believing in His promise.”
Another woman, a mother of three, approached the front with tears in her eyes. She had been battling an illness for years, with no improvement. As Stella prayed for her, the atmosphere was thick with faith. “By His stripes, you are healed!” Stella affirmed, and the woman collapsed to her knees in gratitude and praise.
The meeting continued late into the night, with testimonies of healing unfolding before everyone’s eyes. People were reminded of Jesus’ ministry, where He touched the sick and they were made whole. Stella encouraged those in attendance to hold onto their healing, not to waver, and to declare their victory, even when doubts tried to creep in.
As the meeting came to a close, Stella addressed the crowd with a final encouragement: “God’s power is in you. Just as Jesus healed through touch, He wants to touch others through you. Believe in His Word, stand in faith, and witness His miracles.”
That night, Des Moines was not just a city known for its economy and culture; it was a city that had witnessed the hand of God move in power. The people left changed, renewed, and confident in the truth that healing belongs to all who believe.
