Impartation

Okay. Never liked the word. Sounds super spiritual or supercilious, more than my little humble self can hold. It's a Randy Clark word: impartation. He has seen over and over that those who have special gifts of the Spirit can pray and there will be a transference, an impartation, suited somehow in just the right size for the receiver. When I was at the Healing conference in January, it was the night he spoke on impartation that brought on a rather undignified cry: sobs and shakes for over three or four hours, and I could barely walk afterwards.

So last night, when Randy went to tell stories of the Spirit landing in various ways and literally transforming others who were now making a difference on the planet, I was not shocked when the sobs and shakes started again. Not shocked, but extremely UNCOMFORTABLE. When the prayers came at the end, well, I just can't describe it in a blog, but it was amazing and overwhelming at the same time.

When we went into the service, the healings began right away, and again, my favorite part was that many were brought to salvation. Our prayer time was just to bless them with the Spirit, in other words, to impart His love and presence. I will save you the details, for, as I have said before, I have NEVER seen anything like it. And for me, part of it was that the joy often came over those I prayed with. I don't know that I have ever been a place where the presence of God was so thick.

In the midst I got to pray for a dear lady who had uterine cancer, and she said she felt something happen. She plans to go in and have it rechecked, and I do wish I could know how she fares. One of the drawbacks of this ministry approach is that it is almost hit and run, and one never knows how deeply the lives are affected.

But the fact that many are changed forever is indisputable. My little translator found me today and said that she wasn't able to help me last night because the power of God fell on her so hard that she couldn't move or speak most of the night. I think something was imparted to her...guess I just need to make peace with the word!
