Celebrating 20 Years - Cal Pierce

Wed, 7/31/2019

On July 22, 2019 we celebrated our 20th anniversary of the Healing Rooms Ministries. What an amazing 20 years it has been watching God do what only He could do through the hands of willing vessels. We could never have dreamed of what was to take place, but we have experienced many lifetimes of memories and divine encounters.

After growing up in Redding, California, getting saved through Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship and then encountering God through revival in the late 90’s, I was called by God to travel to Spokane, Washington to pray for three days. I had no clue what He was about to do. When I returned home, I was called to go on a 40 day fast. It was then that I was directed by God to re-dig the wells of healing that John G. Lake had here in the city of Spokane. After much prayer, we re-opened the Healing Rooms in downtown Spokane that hadn’t operated in 80 years. We were in complete amazement at what began to happen!

We were ordinary people, able to do extraordinary work because of the God we served. We realized early on that the key to building the Kingdom of God was to humble ourselves before Him, listen and follow as He directed. Over time, as word got out what was happening in Spokane, an explosion of the birthing of Healing Rooms was moving all over the world. Today there have been over 3000 Healing Rooms opened in 74 nations. I can’t say there haven’t been challenges along the way; however, as we kept our eyes on Jesus, He gave us the strength to overcome every obstacle.

Michelle and I are both thankful for and blessed by all the wonderful people who have selflessly ministered in the Healing Rooms over the years, both here in Spokane and throughout the world. One of the things we have enjoyed the most is being an Apostolic Father and Mother to the sons and daughters of God. Our cup is truly running over as we prepare for this coming season. All of us at the International Headquarters are looking to the future with great expectancy, knowing that the best is yet to come!

Healing Rooms Reach Across the Country and People Are Healed -

David and Jayne Ann Harder are our Region 14 Directors over Oklahoma and Texas. While they were vacationing in Michigan over July 4th, they were asked to do a Healing Rooms Training in a small church in the area. These two testimonies come out of that training

Here are two praise reports from the training I did a week ago in Michigan.

During a "listening to the Holy Spirit" exercise, one man heard "restless legs" and two people were suffering with that. We prayed for them and both reported being touched by God. One had the condition completely go away (PTL!) though she said she felt it trying to come back and she rebuked it and hasn't had a problem! The other said the condition got much better!

And, after I told the group of trainees about healingrooms.com and how the prayer rooms are available all over the place to anyone who needs God's touch, one attendee learned that her best friend's kidneys were failing. That woman was hospitalized in Gainesville FL. So the friend from Michigan called the Gainesville FL Healing Rooms. The director went to the hospital, anointed her with oil, and she has been healed! She was sitting up the next day and, according to the report I received, even the medical staff are calling it a miracle. PTL!

Bulging Disc and Misaligned Hip Healed –

I arrived at the Healing Rooms today due to excruciating pain in my lower back and right hip. I had a bulging disc in my L4-L5 region and a misaligned hip. This pain had kept me down since February, 2019. After meeting with my amazing Prayer Team, I am pleased to announce that the pain has been lifted and healing has occurred.

I accepted my inheritance from Jesus and through communion and the Blood of Christ, my (spiritual) DNA has been changed to continue healing myself and those I come in contact with. I pray to keep coming to the Healing Rooms for prayer, guidance and love

Thank you to my Savior Jesus Christ and my Prayer Team! May you all be blessed in His name! Praise God for His Glory and Grace!

ALM Healed -

Memorial Day 2017, my husband was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia). His Doctor gave him 30-60 days to live. We came to the Healing Rooms after his initial chemo series. His oncologist recently told him he is cancer free! Praise You, Lord! She also said “This is nothing short of Divine Intervention.” His blood work continues to improve each time it is tested and he sees his Doctor every 6 months now. Jesus is Lord! Rob’s testimony is being used to bring hope to the hopeless and his oncologist now asks us to pray for her patients. God takes what was meant for evil and turns it to good! ALL GLORY TO KING JESUS!

Healed from Sensitivity to the Sun - 

I have been dealing with not being able to be out in the sun for a year because of so many heat strokes and heat exhaustion. My brain would swell from the sun. Until now!!! Praise the Lord! I went fishing out in the sun for 2 1/2 hours one weekend and then this last weekend, I was out for 3 hours and I am having no problems! I’ve been coming faithfully every Saturday to the Healing Rooms for prayer, believing that it would go away and, by the grace of my Savior Jesus, it is all gone. He said that He is shielding me from the sun! Thank You, Jesus and the Healing Rooms Prayer Team!

Sense of Taste and Smell restored –

I had no sense of smell or taste.  I came to the Healing Rooms for prayer and had a breakthrough.  A spiritual attack had shown up in a physical way that was related to not being able to “taste and see that the Lord is good” in my life as I am going through a transitional period.  I can now taste and am beginning to smell.  I am believing for a complete healing as I continue to draw closer to Him.

The following testimonies are from our National Directors,  Raj and Kala Bijja, from India.

• A 48 year old woman was suffering from a skin problem. She had been to a number of hospitals and there was no change. She was then brought to the Healing Rooms Center where she received prayer. She was completely healed! Now she, along with the family members, attend the Church every Sunday. She is from a Hindu family.

• A 20 year old woman from a Hindu family, possessed with an evil spirit, was suffering for more than a month. She had been to many places for prayer and there was no deliverance. She was brought to the Healing Rooms Center. She was prayed for deliverance and she was completely delivered. Now she attends the local church, along with the family, every Sunday and Pastor has started House Prayer meetings.

• A two year old boy had fallen from a third floor building and suffered a head injury. He was taken to the hospital in an unconscious condition. For more than two months the doctors treated him and there was no improvement.  He was unable to move his hands, his legs and he couldn't see. The Healing Rooms team, my wife and I visited the hospital and prayed for this child. He started moving his hands and legs and was able to see! He was completely healed. Now the entire family attends Church regularly. They are from a Hindu family.

• A boy, aged 12 years, had a lump on his neck. His mother brought him to the Healing Rooms for prayer. The team prayed for the boy. The lump miraculously disappeared immediately!  Now they attend the local church.

• A 19 year old boy from a Hindu family was suffering from severe pain in his body. He was brought to the Healing Rooms Center for healing prayer. The Healing Rooms team prayed for him and he received healing.

Are We Listening to the Father? - Tom Murphy

Wed, 7/31/2019

Tom Murphy

Jesus wasn’t looking for a fight with the devil. The man in the tombs came to Him and fell at his feet. People approached Him and sought Him out for healing and deliverance. His response was based only on what He heard the Father speaking and what He saw the Father doing and He moved in that authority only because He knew who He was. So, where and on whom is our attention focused? Are we distracted by what the enemy is doing? If so, why? The enemy has been defeated!

I believe the Father has something to say to us about each situation we are walking in. Do we believe that we have to fight to defeat the enemy when he has already been defeated? If so, maybe our thinking is flawed. Do we believe that the devil has been defeated through Jesus as the scripture says? Do we ever do things that indicate we don’t believe that? For instance, when we pray to see healing manifested, are we asking the Father to heal them, or are we thanking Him for healing them based on the truth of what the Word says that He gave us through the cross? Do we go out to look for where the devil is at work to confront him, or are we being led to go where the Father wants us to go for His purpose? Is it our agenda or His? What does the Word say concerning us as sons and daughters? What authority has He given us? What promises has He made to us personally?

We have been given authority and assurance as sons and daughters to walk with Him in every circumstance in the same manner Jesus did. If we walk any other way, whose understanding are we relying on? Proverbs 3:5-6 says “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight”. The life He calls us to lead is a life of faith - faith in what He says now; faith in what He has told us; faith in Him as we walk with Him in the prescription He’s giving us to walk as sons and daughters. When He gives us revelation on something that He is doing, it is not so that we can take that revelation and do something with it ourselves. He’s calling us to walk with Him in that revelation as His children, asking-listening-asking. If we, even out of the good intent of our hearts, attempt to do something for God with the revelation He’s given us without staying in step with Him, what kind of results can we expect? Jesus didn’t even do that and He is our perfect example! As the scripture has said many times in the Old and New Testament, we are to cease from our own works and enter into His rest. When Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life, we need to look closer and remember that He is our perfect example of how to walk in His Kingdom in this world. The miraculous works that followed Jesus flowed out of the intimacy that He had with the Father. He only spoke and performed the will of the Father and did nothing on His own initiative. (Jn. 5:19, 5:20, 8:28,7:28).

So why, even out of our own good heart initiative, try to do things or do a work for God on that basis? So, instead of getting distracted and/or freaked out about what the enemy is doing, why don’t we step into the full authority He has given us as His sons and daughters and Kings and Priests and deal with it based on what He is saying? Most of what the enemy is doing is based on lies because knows  he has already been defeated. When, by faith, we step into the truth of who we are and walk in step with the Holy Spirit, success and victory is ours! Remember, the scripture says that the devil goes around LIKE a roaring lion. The enemy would love to distract us and get us to look at what he is doing. Because if we are looking at what the enemy is doing, our eyes are not on the Father. It seems that too often, people get distracted and focused on what the enemy is doing and try to figure it out. That is a complete waste of time. The Father said that we can ask anything in the name of His Son, and He will give it to us. So instead of trying to figure things out, we need to move into asking what’s going on, because He promised He will tell us. Then we will know how to deal with it according to His prescription and we can move on into greater glory with Him. As we learn to stay in step with the Father, we will know for sure and we can walk in his peace, remembering that the enemy has already been defeated, as we are establishing His Kingdom on earth per His prescription.

Psalms 37:9 says “for evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land”. And Isaiah 40:31 says “but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint”. So, if we are feeling weary or if we feel our strength is sapped, the promise from God is this: we won’t be weary or weakened if we wait for Him. It is a good time to stop and come back into walking alongside Him. Jesus was our perfect example of waiting for the Father. The word wait means to look for, hope, or expect. It also means to bind together by twisting; to linger. As we go with Him, our burden should be light. Whenever we start feeling burdened by something,  that's a check in our spirit  to remember to stop and ask the Lord to show us what burden we are carrying that we shouldn't be. Thank and praise the Father who has already established everything we need to walk in the victory of that for which Christ paid the price!

Sowing Yourself Out of Debt! - Tina Cochrane

Wed, 7/31/2019

We overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony! Revelation 12:11

I have been involved with the Healing Rooms since Oct. 2009. For many years, I have received prayer and I have been on the prayer team in the Rooms. Years ago a friend of mine invited me to get prayer following a very a difficult divorce. God is so good - He carried me through one of the darkest seasons of my life. During this time, and for years following the divorce, at times I really just wanted God to take me home.

THE TEST - I went through deep depression and unknowingly allowed the spirit of discouragement, hopelessness, and even suicide to creep in. I felt like the enemy was isolating me to go in for the kill. I came to the Healing Rooms on a weekly basis DURING this time and I received healing, breakthrough and comfort through the moving of the gifts of the Spirit and the agreement of prayer according to Matt. 18:19-20.

Shortly after the divorce, I was going through a very hard time financially in my job as a mortgage banker. Everything seemed to be on the decline because of the mortgage crisis. Being on straight commission, I had no idea how I was going to survive, having to provide for my teenage 13 year old son, while paying my mortgage and a huge student loan bill.

THE TEMPTATION - One day I was approached by a business acquaintance, a very rich man, basically to be my "sugar daddy". He offered to pay my mortgage, my bills and take me on expensive trips. However, as tempting as it was, considering my situation, I knew it was not right. And he was married. God said He would be my provider and protector. I accepted God’s offer! It was a fight of Faith, but He was so faithful to see me through.

I made the decision to tithe regularly and to sow financial seeds into other ministries that stood on the Word of God, as well as speaking His Word over my situation. I continually reminded God of His Word to open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing I could not contain, as well as rebuking the devourer. Malachi 3:10-13. And also He shall supply ALL my needs according to His riches in Glory. Phil 4:13.

I absolutely believe in the obedience of tithing and sowing financial seed into righteous ground. For that reason, I sowed into the Healing Rooms Ministries for years, believing that I would reap a harvest of the anointing that they carried. I listened to faith filled sermons because faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Romans 10:17

THE BREAKTHROUGH - I was ultimately laid off due to the mortgage crisis. Yet, true to His Word, God miraculously provided consistent income of $1300 a month! And because my home was in litigation due to the divorce, I had no mortgage payment for 8 years. Due to interest rates, my student loans had climbed to $114,000, and I had no idea how I was ever going to be able to pay these loans off.

I prayed for years for wisdom and provision, trusting God to do what only He could do! By nothing but the grace of God, these loans were actually CANCELLED! Halleluja! We will never be able to out give God!

I shared my testimony with a group at the Healing Rooms and a sister in Christ asked me to pray with her that her student loans would be paid as well. Shortly after that, she got her $200,000 student loan forgiven! Praise God!

THIS IS FOR ALL THE BODY OF CHRIST - WHAT HE DID FOR ME HE CAN DO FOR YOU!

THE VICTORY - My home went through foreclosure and my ex-boyfriend bought it back for me for the exact amount that I had written on a check by faith 7 years prior when I was believing for it to be debt free and in my name - WOW GOD!

I keep a Praise report book of pictures and documents, showing what God has done for me so I can bring Him glory by sharing with others, as well as encouraging myself. God rescued me with great victories and breakthroughs because of His mercy and grace.

LOVE AND BLESSINGS IN CHRIST

Prophecy - Linda Keough

Wed, 7/31/2019

This prophecy was given to Linda on 9/17/2014 during the Summit Conference.  It seems appropriate to share it again during our 20th Anniversary celebration!

Come to the Well 

“For I AM the living water that shall never run dry.”

Years ago a man named Cal, heard the call…

“Come Up hither.
Set yourself aside for Me and for My Kingdom, for My Glory,
Because I want to do what I did years ago in Spokane.
My Hand is upon My city.
Just as the ancient Wells were stopped up by the enemy
To where no one could drink of the waters,
So was the Well of Signs, Wonders and Miracles stopped up in this City.
But you followed the call, Cal! You heard My voice
And re-dug that Well for many to come and drink of.
O taste and see that I AM God, O taste and see that
I AM Good. For this Well shall never run dry.
My blessings flow from generation to generation
(so come and) Drink deep, fill your buckets full
That you may share with the Nations.
Increase! You shall see Increase!
You stirred the waters by your faith and obedience.
Now – I and the Host of Heaven are stirring the waters,
For My hand is upon this work.”

Breast Lump Dissipates -

A year ago in the midst of her preparation for A levels, my daughter felt some discomfort and discovered a lump in her breast. We prayed for her but there was no notable change for 2 weeks so we took her to the GP. She did a physical examination on my daughter and confirmed there was a sizable lump. She suspected it was fibrosis adenoma and told us to observe it. If it grows, we were advised to get an ultrasound done. As there is no medication for it, we decided to take Amelia to the Chinese physician. She also did a physical examination and confirmed there was a lump. She prescribed medicine to regulate her hormones. The discomfort went away but the lump did not disappear.

About three months ago, Amelia felt the discomfort again and asked to consult the doctor. Again we prayed and waited. While waiting, I continued to pray. One day while praying in tongues for her, I received the word "Dissipated". I held to that word. After a month, I made an appointment with the specialist for Amelia. One week before that, I went to the Healing Rooms for prayer for myself and Amelia. I was given an anointed cloth to bring back for her.

On the day of the consultation, the doctor, who is a breast specialist, performed an ultrasound on her and there was no lump at all! It has dissipated!

Thank God for His healing and praise the Lord Jesus!

Anxiety and Restless Leg Healed -

I would like to thank God for healing me of my anxiety and involuntary movement of my legs, back pain and being unable to eat well for the past 2-1/2 years. I had seen 6 doctors without any improvement. After the 6th doctor, I went for prayer at the Healing Rooms.

I have since improved on my anxiety and involuntary movement of my legs. So, I continue to go to the Healing Rooms every week for prayer. Every week after prayer, the ministers would read out loud to me Bible verses and asked me to memorize them. I find the Bible verses very useful. They help me to reflect on God’s Word and my health has improved progressively.

I want to thank and praise God for using the ministers at the Healing Rooms to pray for me.

Stage 4 Kidney Cancer Healed - 

In late January 2019, Madam Ong Goon Bee, age 78, noticed that her eye was swollen. Medical tests done at Singapore General Hospital confirmed and diagnosed her with Stage 4 kidney cancer. The whole family was very concerned and decided to attend SoundWise International Ministry in mid March 2019, where a pastor and ministers from Healing Rooms prayed for her. A minister laid his hands on the exact area where she was afflicted.

During prayer, she felt things moving within her kidneys and was told that it will be benign and all will be well for her.  She had an operation where parts of her kidney with two tumors were removed.

In the Upper Pole tumor, benign cortical cysts were seen.
In the Interpolar Tumor, clear cell renal carcinoma was observed; however, all the surrounding margins were clear. The carcinoma cells were limited within the Interpolar tumor.
She was given medication and discharged from further treatment.

Glory to Jesus Christ.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Healed -

I went to the Healing Rooms last month. I was recommended by my Manager to just go for prayer, for the healing of my hand and leg pain. I had been suffering pain for 2 years. According to doctors, I have rheumatoid arthritis. None of the medicine helped me.

After the volunteers prayed for me, I could bend my knee a little. Day by day it got better, though at times I would have pain. But now I can walk with ease.

I had lost faith in GOD for many years. But after the session, I have begun to believe in God again. Thank you for that.

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for not letting go of me even after I have lost faith in Him. There are no words as to how I feel now. My heart is filled with gratitude and love and peace. Thank you Lord.

Thank you all for helping me in the process.

Cysts Healed -

The Healing Rooms team came to 316 Church to conduct training. During the practice session, one of your team members in my group prayed for me. I told him I had cysts in my right side breast and they have caused pain sometimes over the year since diagnosed.

After he prayed, I did not feel pain anymore.  I had about 4-5 cysts in my right breast. I had a check up on Jan 18, 2019 and the cysts were all gone.

Eczema Healed -

All my life I had suffered with eczema. I had it all over my body and it caused me sleepless nights of itching and scratching. I was waking up crying because I was so sore and it had all become infected.

I went to the Healing Rooms for the first time and received prayer for healing. I improved considerably but wasn’t completely healed. I continued to visit the Healing Rooms and, after my third visit, I was completely healed. I have had no trouble since. Praise God!

Lower Back Healed and Filled with the Holy Spirit -

I requested prayer for 'lower back problems' which I had had for nearly 40 years. It was due to an incident which happened when my youngest son was a small baby.

God healed my back, He re-aligned my spine and all pressure and inflammation were healed. Apparently one of my legs had been shorter than the other, which I did not realize. After prayer, my legs were measured together and they became level.
I was given wholeness, mobility and strength. I received a fresh in-filling of the Holy Spirit, joy and healing. I danced and ran all round the room, things I had not done for many years.

I give all the praise, honor and glory to my wonderful God.

Blazing Bolts of Light Vision - Linda Keough

Wed, 6/26/2019

This morning during worship at the Healing Rooms headquarters, I had a vision of flashes of blazing light-bolts being thrown at me.  As they came, I lifted my arms like Wonder Woman and the bolts were returned to the sender.  Whenever I have a vision, I ask the Lord to give me a scripture that supports what I have seen.  So today when I asked Him, He gave me two scriptures:

• Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper…”


• Ephesians 6:16 “…lifting up the shield of faith which quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”

I decided to do a search on different translations of the bible to delve deeper into these scriptures.  In the Aramaic Bible in Plain English, it reads as follows:

I have never seen this phrase used in scripture to describe the fiery darts, but there it was!  Talk about confirming my vision with His Word!  Glory to God!

We are all supernatural heroes in the Kingdom of God, filled with the super power of the Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.  It is time to get dressed in our Ephesians 6 Holy Spirit attire and be poised for action.  We are empowered to not only counter any attack of the evil one, but to forge ahead to heal the sick, cleanse the leper, cast out demons and raise the dead.

Linda Keough is the Travel Coordinator at the Spokane Headquarters. She and her husband, John, are the Regional Directors of Hawaii.

What Judgement? - Jim Cooper

Wed, 6/26/2019

Jim Cooper

I was reading in 1 Peter this morning, Chapter 1. Peter states here that we are to live a holy life. The word holy has the basic meaning of “set apart; sanctified.” It is living our life in such a way that we don’t offend Holy Spirit. Yes, we can offend Him. We do this by our actions, words and heart intents. What does this mean? This is straight forward. Are we living out our lives in a reverential fear (awe, wonder and gratefulness for what Jesus did for us in His suffering, death and resurrection,) or do we take His grace-gift for granted? Part of the problem is that people get hi-jacked in their thought life because of a theology that has been pervasive in the church (a lot of what follows is taken from what I have learned from others but needs to be connected to the above).

We have been taught that we are “sinners saved by grace.” This is erroneous and demonic at its core because it steals our true identity as to who we are and Whose we are in Christ! More than 40 times in the Book of Romans, it says, “we are dead.” Dead to sin, dead to our old sin nature. Dead, dead, dead…you get the picture! It further states that we are saints. We cannot be a sinner and a saint at the same time. We’ll hurt ourselves trying to do this! So, can a saint sin? The obvious answer is, “yes,” but it is no longer in our redeemed nature to do so and this is where grace comes in to invade our present circumstances. So, does grace give us permission to sin so that grace can be more active (abound) in our lives? Certainly not! Grace gives us the ability to not sin. How? By the saving grace of Jesus,  Holy Spirit indwells us and it’s His presence in our lives that gives us the power over the sin nature to which we are now dead.

So why am I writing about Romans when I started talking about 1 Peter? Great question! It is because the subject of judgement is mentioned. Wrapped around this subject, a great many believers in the church are fearful of what awaits them because they have been taught wrong theology. Let me make this as plain as I can. If we have been born again, bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus, our judgement (yes, we will be judged) will not be for punishment but for rewards (or the lack thereof). However, this brings up another argument. Do we serve God so that we can receive a greater reward? I suppose the answer would be “yes and no.” Does it feel like you might get whiplash with that answer? It does to me. But let me explain.  Yes, we do because He is a rewarder of those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6) and no, because we should do so out of love for Him and all He’s done for us.

Once we get out hearts and heads wrapped around these truths, I believe that we, as followers of Jesus, will have a far greater understanding, not only of our future, when Christ is fully revealed to us and we are able to walk in the full measure of grace that He has for us, but also in our present circumstances.

Jim is a former student of IHRSOT.
