Paved with the Miraculous
This morning, The LORD reminded me of this happening a while ago.
In August 2016 in Aston, Birmingham, Linda and I were part of the team with Jonathan Conrathe running a few days ministry at Mount Zion Church.
In one of the meetings, the worship team started singing “Good, good Father” and Holy Spirit fell like a blanket of love over the 250+ people present.
It was mayhem! Our entire team, and all of the host team, were weeping uncontrollably and the atmosphere changed — completely. Ministry broke out. (See Facebook and copy below.)
At one point Jonathan walked past us just as we finished praying with someone. As we did so he thrust the microphone into Linda’s hand saying, “The LORD is about to do a miracle through you!”
To cut a long story short, Linda called out an injured foot for healing, and, after what seemed an age, a lovely lady called Eunette hobbled forward.
She had somehow fallen out of a window some 20 feet (6m) high and in landing she had shattered her foot, which was now restructured with metal rods and pins.
She couldn’t walk properly at all – most would have regarded her as crippled – and the pain was unceasing.
Again for brevity, Linda and Eunette marvelled as they felt and watched her foot completely reformed, without any metal, and healed.
Eunette walked then ran around the auditorium as joyful rejoicing broke out all around.
Then again this morning, Dutch Sheets gave this on his Give Him 15 daily podcast:
Multiplied Miracles, Mantles, and Outpourings | Give Him 15: Daily Prayer with Dutch | August 21, 2024
As if the first memory wasn’t enough, the podcast completed things for me.
I felt the heavy presence of Holy Spirit when I was remembering events in Aston.
Then, when Dutch gave his message, I could barely have stood up the anointing and conviction on me was so strong.
I knew The LORD was showing me something big!
I was suddenly reminded of Paul’s letter 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, particularly verses 4-5 –
“And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
The LORD revealed to me once again that the road to revival is paved with the miraculous!
He showed me many people from many nations and many different demographic groups, perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps in a spirit of opposition, or perhaps just to disrupt, coming to meetings, being overawed by witnessing and receiving miracles.
“Yes”, says The LORD, “The road to revival is paved with the miraculous! And I want to show the world a few miracles!”
I don’t know about you guys, but I believe The LORD is about to start demonstrating His power by performing miracles — really big newsworthy miracles!

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
Thank you for sharing this and I saw this with Dutch earlier and started praying this in my prayer time today. I am so excited to be living in this time we are in, for such a time as this.
Auch ich kann von einem Wunder an mir berichten.
Ich lag im Krankenhaus und meinen Kindern wurde von der Ärztin gesagt, dass ich wahrscheinlich nicht mehr nachhause komme.
Persönlich sah ich mich im Wartebereich eines Fliegers. Anstatt abzuheben wurde ich zurück geschickt mit der Information, dass ich einen Pflegegrad und ein Pflegebett bekomme.
Plötzlich sah ich eine Hand, von der wundervolle Lichtbänder in Rot und Gold abstrahlten. Diese Lichtbänder flossen über das Krankenhaus, die Ärzte und Pflegekräfte. Als es zu mir kam, fing meine Heilung an. Ich weiß das mir ein grosses Geschenk zuteil wurde.
Heilung wird auch heute noch geschenkt.
Gott ist in unserer Mitte, auch wenn wir es nicht gleich realisieren.
[ HKP : “I, too, can report on a miracle in me. I was in the hospital and my children were told by the doctor that I probably won’t come home. Personally, I saw myself in the waiting area of a plane. Instead of taking off, I was sent back with the information that I would get a care level and a care bed. Suddenly I saw a hand from which wonderful bands of light in red and gold radiated. These bands of light flowed over the hospital, the doctors and nurses. When it came to me, my healing began. I know that I was given a great gift. Healing is still given today. God is in our midst, even if we don’t realize it right away.” ]
Wonderful testimony, thank you for sharing with us.
AWESOME GOD!!!
