Sean Murray broke his ankle during a trip in 2001. He didn’t have insurance, so he just walked it off, and it healed incorrectly. His ankle was always stiff, and since then he’s been unable to kneel. “It didn’t hurt or anything,” he said. “But it wasn’t right, so God fixed it.”

During our last worship night, some of our team prayed over his ankle, and he now can kneel and has mobility in his ankle.

Worship Nights, which happen only four times a year, are transformational for individuals and have become important for our three communities to seek the face of God together. At each gathering, we experience lives changed through newfound freedom, deliverance, and healings. As a church, we gain a renewed revelation of God’s love to expand our hearts and vision and to grow our faith. And as individuals, we are drawn in by a hunger for God and drawn together in unity with his church, regardless of where we are coming from.

The reason I love sharing the story of Sean’s healing so much is because of what worship means. In the Bible, the original word that we most commonly translate to worship is the Greek word proskuneó. This word means many things, one of which is “ready to fall down/prostrate oneself, to adore on one’s knees.” Sean’s injury wasn’t causing him pain. It wasn’t necessarily impeding anything in his life. But he was unable to physically do one of the things that worship actually is meant to be. So God healed it.

And this wasn’t his first healing at a Worship Night. “About a year or two ago, I had my two rotator cuffs healed. I’ve had a lot prayed for, but those were the only two times it was immediate.”

Worship Nights are an opportunity for us to put all of our focus on God. To pour out everything we are to the One who is worthy. For this Worship Night, I will be speaking about the breath of God, and how we use that breath—given to us by the Creator of all things—to worship Him.

We believe that God desires our wholeness, and that as we press into him to know his heart, we will experience the fullness of what he created us to be and how he wants us to know and worship him.
