What happens when a traveling minister suddenly can't travel?

GospelSmith is the ministry of Stan & JoAnn Smith of Avila Beach, CA. They have a rich gift mix: preaching, teaching, moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, prophetic art and music, and more. They have traveled to many nations, but in mid-February, Stan underwent emergency surgery to remove a large brain tumor.

But God was a step ahead of the emergency -- as this video, recorded less than two months after surgery, shows.


This is what God said to Stan, roughly a week before the surgery:

"I am the Vine and you are the branches. My Father is the Husbandman, and when He prunes you, remember that His purpose is that you will bear more fruit. Your job isn't to try to regain what's been pruned. Your job is to keep abiding in Me..."

Stan's first goal has been to abide in Christ ever since the surgery -- and the presence of God is a healing presence. Already the doctors are showing astonishment at the rapid recovery that has been happening. Stan has taken chemo and radiation without side-effects, and ongoing tests indicate that the cancer is not coming back.

In April when Stan made the video, he was not allowed to drive -- but now he is. Meanwhile, what's the pruning all about?

"It's a God-given time when I can learn to make and post videos, record prophetic music, and write more school-of-the-Spirit materials."

So here is a video Stan made to share a vision he had in the night:

A note from Stan:

I had taken the pictures with my iPhone in California and Peru. The music was a recording of a solo I had played spontaneously on two keyboards. The words came to me in the vision, and I wrote them down before I could forget them. I'll leave it to you to decide whether the words talk about our relationship with God, our relationships with other people, or our sensitivity to the spiritual world all around us.

In coming months, I plan to add more materials that will help stir up the gifts God has given you.

 

Stan's Recovery

The brain surgery was in mid-February. Here's a link to 8 minutes of spontaneous song on two keyboards, recorded April 30 -- see and hear Stan's healing for yourself.
