As we are working with God to “stay free,” God Himself allows us to become free at ever deeper levels. This is illustrated well in the life of my wife, Janet.

For years Janet regularly had migraine headaches. The pattern was hard to figure out. Sometimes they’d occur the day we arrived at our vacation spot, and she would end up in bed for a couple of days. Other times she’d get one right before a spiritual event, such as a conference. Still other times one came before a family gathering like Thanksgiving. There seemed to be a connection to stress but nothing we could pinpoint. At any moment she could be robbed of a day or two of her busy life.

In 1996 we attended a conference on deliverance training. After the first talk Janet began to see the lights before her eyes, the sign that a migraine was coming. Immediately we prayed. Janet was determined to stay, but a half-hour later she decided she couldn’t. She would need to go home. On her way to find me, she ran into a man who had taken this seminar already.

He said, “Let’s pray one more time.” After a minute he asked, “How long have you had these migraines?”

“Fifteen years.”

“What happened fifteen years ago?”

“My mother-in-law was staying with us and went to the hospital with a very bad headache; she almost died from meningitis.”

The man discerned that fear had tightened its grip on Janet at that moment of her life. When she renounced fear, she doubled over and wept tears of release. When she came up she believed she was healed. In uncharacteristic boldness she came to me declaring she was healed, and for a time she was totally free.

Seven weeks later, as we began an international event in Philadelphia called “30 Days of Gathering Around Jesus,” she got her first migraine. She was really upset, feeling that maybe nothing had happened before. “Perhaps I made it all up,” she thought.

Good friends of ours prayed with her. They encouraged her to claim her freedom and believe it. Janet resisted the idea, for too often she had been told by people to “name and claim” her healing. She had been told many times that you just have to believe you’re healed and walk in it. This placed the burden on her and not on God. The advice always left her disturbed.

But this time was different. God had done something, so every time she felt the symptoms of a migraine coming on, she learned to pray with authority and not yield to the headache. As she grew in her ability to resist, she recalled that five years earlier a prophetic man named Bob Jones had prayed with her, telling her she was going to be used in deliverance ministry. He said her gift was going to be helping people stay free once they had been set free. Janet was being trained. As is often the case, her struggles were opportunities to learn something that would be used to help others.
