Sunday, November 24, 2024 Healing Crusade
TORONTO - In what attendees described as a powerful evening of healing and restoration, hundreds gathered at the Hallcrown Event Venue this past Sunday for the monthly Touching Toronto healing service. Led by Pastor Billy Burke, the event drew visitors from across the globe, including attendees from Singapore, Ireland, British Columbia, and the United Kingdom.
The evening was marked by numerous testimonies of healing, including reports of vision restoration, pain relief, and cancer remission. One particularly moving account came from a woman who received healing from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma 15 years ago, demonstrating the long-term impact of these services which have been running in Toronto since 2011.
"We're here as an oasis in a dark city," Pastor Billy Burke told the gathering, emphasizing the importance of faith and expectation. The service featured a unique blend of worship, prayer, and personal ministry, with Burke taking time to address individual needs throughout the evening. Several medical conditions were specifically addressed, including cases of lymphoma, diverticulitis, and various eye conditions.

"We didn't know she was going to live"
15 years ago this family was hit with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It was in her spleen and she was given 10 years to live. She underwent chemo, but Pastor Billy prayed for her at the time. Instead of eight treatments it was abbreviated to six. Pastor Billy reminded us all that "If it doesn't go overnight, then God will abbreviate it at some point. We serve a God of intervention. Why else would we pray? Why sing? Why show up just to be in some Christian club? We do what we do because we believe."

"You gave me a prophetic word about November and December last year"
When you came to Peterborough last summer she came up for something that was called out. Pastor Billy spoke a prophetic word over her. He said how it was about Christmas time and how this was going to be her best Christmas. That November and December will be unmatched in her life.
"I took that prophetic word, I took it home and I attached faith to it."
She got connected with a ministry just recently. They were so grateful to have her join: "What a beautiful Christmas gift. It's almost like a gift from God." Immediately her jaw dropped and the Lord brought the word back. It was such an encouragement and validation of what she heard Pastor Billy speak over her.

Touching Toronto is a place where people of all backgrounds can come for healing.
God has been faithful to this ministry for these many, many years. We have touched people from Iran and Iraq and South America, Africa, Toronto, of course, Vancouver, Nova Scotia. There have been so many that have come in here, come here from all over the world. It's such a special, special place supported by very special people. We can't make each person feel special by thanking them, but Holy Spirit, you can. You can go to each person tonight and say thank you for your support, for making a place where people can come carving out a space and a time where they can fly in and drive in, where they don't have to be in front of maybe their home church, where everybody doesn't know what's going on. It's a very unique, unique experience. And Lord, we thank you for it.
Thank you, Lord, for this place where people can come of all backgrounds, all faiths and believe, for their healing. We thank you especially for having it right here in Toronto.

"I want to say something to you before we launch into ministry tonight"
Pastor Billy shared from his heart: "It's really, really important that in your journey to be well, to be healed, you know, if you're somewhere in a progressive journey and your eyes are better, your ears better, the cancer is arrested, but it's still there. And anything like this, where you're dealing with treatment, I can't say this loud enough. I can't say it strong enough, is that your role alone away from a meeting is so essential."
"I'm telling you about the voice of the Holy Spirit. I'm talking about him. He just doesn't show up in services. He shows up. He's in you. He's going to be navigating through your life and telling you, eat this, don't eat that. Watch this. Don't watch that. Stay out of those people. Cut back from here for a while. Quit reading that. Read this chapter. Listen to this music. He's not trying to boss you around. He's trying to lead you."

Asking God to move with healing through this whole audience
Let's ask Him tonight to move with healing through this whole audience. Let's ask Him not just for the physical healing, but for those that need release tonight from poisoned soul. A soul that's been poisoned by other people. Poisoned by their words, poisoned by their uncleanness. Poisoned by taking advantage of us. Ask God to break that tie, that soul tie from you tonight that you'd be released as a prisoner from a memory that has set you back most of your life. Ask God to release that pain tonight.
Ask Him to release that pain. You don't want to be a prisoner any longer. Reach deep down tonight and draw from the anointing that's here. There will be scars removed from your soul tonight. There will be scars tissue removed from your innermost being. Tonight, God can set you free to worship Him. Set you free so that you can become a whole person again.
Say it with us: "Holy Spirit, you said deep calls unto deep. I'm asking you to call deep into my soul tonight and release me. You know the memory, you know the event, you know how it all went down. And you know my involvement. I can't ask you enough. I can't say I'm sorry enough. It affected my children, my marriage, my life, my work ethic. The devil's a liar. He's a thief. But he's not stealing from me any longer. I'm serving a God of redemption and complete restoration. I lay myself on the altar tonight. And I'm asking you to give me beauty for ashes. I'm asking for a miracle of the soul in Jesus mighty name."
