The Miracle Tire

Through a series of miracles, I arrived at a Revival conference yesterday hosting some of the most anointed evangelist!–men and women of God of this day.

It all started when I delivered an RV to a friend of mine, Michael, with whom I had done mission work in France many years before. We’d lost track of each other, but in recent years have reconnected. He was walking in a greater level of commitment and surrender. He not only witnesses everywhere he goes, but he also prays for the sick, casts out demons and basically enforces the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. –The same as I have been learning and growing into.

We spent the whole evening sharing testimonies and the Holy Spirit just came through so clearly. My wife and I have committed ourselves to burn the candle at both ends in our senior years, to preach and teach like never before. We have refused to be retired, but rather re-fired.

Michael and I, along with his wife, had an awesome prayer together that evening. I left very early the next morning as I had a whole day of driving ahead of me. However, when I petroled up, I noticed that one of my tires was dangerously bald!  However, it was a holiday and a repair shop wouldn’t  be open for two hours, if at all.

So, I desperately prayed for the Lord’s protection and commanded angels to keep my tires. I kept driving and arrived at a tire shop that was just opening. Before I explained the situation with my tire to the manager, I told him about how blessed I was, and how God looks over me! As I witnessed to him, he was so open and ready to give his heart to Jesus. This meeting was no longer about my tire, but for the sake of this man’s heart that I had landed there.

As we discussed the bald tire, it turned out that I actually needed two tires and they were a little more expensive than I had expected, but still I settled for changing the two front tires. And while they were doing the work, I said, “I’ll go ahead and wait in this breakfast restaurant next door.”

Arriving at the restaurant, I noticed a waitress who was wearing a Christian t-shirt, and I complimented her for her boldness. She said, “Oh, this restaurant is my morning witnessing spot.” And she pointed to all of the different folks that had gotten saved and the ones that she was still working on.–And she invited me to sit down with them.

They asked me how I knew the Lord and I explained how I had gotten saved and how the Lord had taken me around the world to preach the Gospel of His kingdom. We talked about the Lord for a while as we became acquainted, and once the conversation quieted down a bit, a man across the table, Scott, asked me, “How would you like to have a set of four new tires on your truck?” WOW! He walked with me to the tire shop and he asked the manager to cancel my order and asked for the best tires they had, to replace all four of them and to do an alignment, and to check if there were any other mechanical problems and to go ahead and fix them.

The manager looked at me and said, “Now I can see why you say you’re blessed, God sure looks after you.”

When we returned to the restaurant, there was a bit of a panic! When a lady was ready to leave and getting into her car, she was having a heart attack! So they called for me to go pray for her.  I laid hands on her and commanded her heart to be healed and for the palpitations to regulate immediately. And she was healed!

By then the majority of the restaurant guests were watching over my shoulder. When we returned to the restaurant, the lady with the Christian t-shirt asked me if I’d lay hands on the shoulder of another waitress. She couldn’t move it because she had injured it in an accident a few days earlier. I laid hands and commanded her shoulder to be restored, and then asked her to do what she couldn’t do before and she exclaimed, “It’s gone! The pain is gone!”

After that, the man who ordered the work on my truck asked me if I could spend the day with him. He has a few personal airplanes and he needed to deliver a plane to Houston and asked if I could I go with him.–And we’d be back for supper! WOW! I’d never flown on a private plane. –That sounded exciting. I called my wife to let her know what was happening. She was so excited about all that the Lord was doing! –And off we went.

After a whole day of witnessing to this gentleman, we arrived back in his town. He had arranged a dinner with a number of people who were all going the next day to Florida to attend a conference: ‘Light The Fire Again’. He asked me if I would come along with them. WOW… Again, I checked with my wife and of course, she was very excited for me.

The next morning he had arranged for us to have breakfast with his pastor. He said, “Your testimonies will help him to walk in the gifts of the Spirit.” I shared with the pastor how the Lord had led me to give my all to Him and how He’s caused me to grow and to learn so much MORE about all that is possible with God. He’s a very sincere and dedicated man of God and really tries to teach the Word to His congregation, but is a bit afraid of wildfire when it comes to walking in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The next day we hopped in his plane and here we are at the ‘Light The Fire Again’ conference with thousands of people! –All desiring more of Jesus and to be more used by Him. I’ll have to give you more testimonies about what is happening here, but I wanted to let you know how the Holy Spirit leads so amazingly when we’re able to follow Him.

I should also mention that this gentleman, Scott, when he found out that I refurbish RVs in my spare time, said that he had an RV to give me. WOW!

And lastly, after this whole day of excitement, I called my friend to whom I had delivered an RV the night before, and told him all of these exciting testimonies! He said, “You know Paul, the Holy Spirit has been talking to my wife and I all day, and we’ve decided to close down our house and get on the road to share the Gospel of the Kingdom!” Come to find out tonight, their first day out, five people have received healing and have turned their lives over to Jesus! Yay!
