Heart Blockage Removed!

A lady in one of the neighborhoods where our teams preach called to say that she had been admitted to the hospital. The doctors said that she had a heart attack and ordered further tests. The tests confirmed that there was a serious blockage in one of her arteries. They immediately scheduled surgery for the following day to remove the blockage with a stint and possible angioplasty.

Between the time of her diagnosis and her surgery, a team from the church was able to pray for her in the hospital. The next day, before her procedure the doctors took another look just to confirm the location of the blockage. They found NO BLOCKAGE WHATSOEVER! They told her that her heart was somehow now perfectly healthy!

Come on Jesus!


Cervical Cancer Healed!

A young lady in one of the neighborhoods where some teams from the church preach told us that she had recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The cancer wasn’t aggressive, but the Doctors recommended that they remove her cervix. The team prayed for her and told her that this is not God's will for her. She was having a bad day, her head hurt and she was lying down when they got there, so the team made a quick, yet fervent prayer. Before they left, they told her to go and get another biopsy if she could.

A new biopsy was not covered by her insurance, however her insurance paperwork got messed up and she had to get a new biopsy in order to see her new doctor. The results of the second biopsy (after prayer) proved inconclusive, so the doctor ordered another biopsy and sent the sample to a specialist. The results of that test came back NEGATIVE! No Cancer! The doctors words were, and I quote, “I’m just totally bewildered here… I don’t know what to tell you”. The cancer is completely gone, there is not a trace of it in her body and longer and no treatment is necessary.

Praise God!


"Message in a Bottle"

A couple in our church recently moved here from Illinois a few weeks ago. It has been almost 2 months and the husband still didn’t have a job. They had bills to pay, they needed food, and they needed haircuts. They had no plan B.

Here’s their testimony:

My husband and I discovered that our own efforts had been futile to come up with any means of provision. Our striving hadn’t produced anything. We decided to do something we had never done before. We took our eyes off our situation and off the ‘storm’ and onto the One who calms the storm. We began to REST in Him and trust Him. All worry and doubt began to disappear and we began to enjoy Him and His promises to us. We began to pray for five or six other households for their financial provision. We then began to declare the promises of God over our own situation with assurance that He would do what He said He would do.

Two days later we had a knock at the door. It was a delivery man with a ‘Message in a Bottle’. He said, “I was told to bring this to you.” He held in his hands a wine bottle. My husband had answered the door and was dumbfounded by what he saw. He became immediately ‘drunk’ by the heavy anointing that accompanied that special delivery. I came to the balcony to see what was happening and I felt a ‘wave’ of a thick anointing overwhelm me. We both became extremely drunk in the Holy Spirit.

There was a note attached to the wine bottle. It said, “Warning: contents may cause drunken and unruly behavior”. Inside the wine bottle were fifteen $100 bills rolled up individually!! This was enough to pay our rent and a little more besides! My husband and I couldn’t even speak for several minutes. We were totally saturated in the glorious presence of the Lord and began to laugh. The only way we could retrieve the money was to smash the bottle. As my husband did this we declared “Here’s to a new voyage” just like a new ship being launched on its maiden voyage.

Awesome.


Baby Receives New Liver!

A team was sent from our church went to go to pray for a two-year-old baby girl. Her liver had stopped functioning, and she was awaiting a liver transplant. When the team arrived at the hospital, they could not find the little girl as the hospital kept her whereabouts to themselves. They were not able to lay hands on her; but they declared a new liver from the “body spare parts room in heaven” for her. At church, they also prayed in faith that the liver would start functioning.

The next morning, the little girl woke up with a pink little face, and her liver had started working again! Jesus gave her a new liver!!! How did He do it? He did it, as the body believed, and declared by faith her healing.

Thank You Jesus!

Esophageal Cancer Healed!

A computer programmer at our church had a discussion with a colleague about his father who was recently diagnosed with stage 3 cancer of the esophagus and giving a very slim chance of living. The guy from our church preached the good news of the Kingdom of God to him, that God's will and purpose for his father was to be healed, according to the Lord's Prayer. Several folks at the church prayed over a handkerchief, according to Acts 19:11-12 and gave it to the young man who was leaving for what he thought was his last trip to visit his ailing father. He took the anointed handkerchief and gave it to his father praying a simple prayer of healing.

After some time passed the co-worker came up to the gentleman from our church and said, "I don't know if it's something you did or what, but it's (the cancer) going into remission and is almost completely gone!"

Colon Cancer Healed!

A gentleman in our church owns and operates his own business. On hearing that one of his clients was diagnosed with colon cancer he asked the church to pray over a handkerchief according to Acts 19:11-12. He gave it to the man with colon cancer who actually slept with the handkerchief. On returning to his doctor he found that all of the cancer was gone!

Miracles on the Job!

A businessman in our church had contact with a client that was involved in a very serious accident that left him in terrible condition. Upon hearing about the accident, he desired to pray for his client but others in the company would not release information about his whereabouts. Simply believing that prayer knows no boundaries he prayed, believing that the Lord would touch him anyway. Several weeks later the client who was in the hospital was released. He called the gentleman in our church thanking him and giving credit to the power of prayer for his miraculous recovery!

Cystic Fibrosis Healed!

A mommy in our church heard about a 4 year old child that lived in her neighborhood who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis by two different doctors. She requested permission from the mother, who allowed her to pray. As she prayed, she prophesied that the little girl no longer had the disease and encouraged the mother to take her back to the doctor. The doctors checked the little girl out and pronounced her free from Cystic Fibrosis!

Thank You Jesus!

"It's Shrinking!"

Those are the words that greeted a member of an outreach team from the church as they visited a local hangout spot for young people on a Saturday night. About 6 weeks before an outreach team was preaching to a group of kids that was heavily involved in witchcraft and Satanism. They were violently opposed to the preaching of the Gospel, but allowed prayer to be offered on behalf of one of their own. This was a 19 year old young man that was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and given 3-6 months to live. They allowed prayer but didn't allow the outreach team to come close or even touch him. So they prayed at a distance and cursed the cancer.

6 weeks later that same young man rushed up to the team and said "It's Shrinking!" Giving testimony that at a follow up appointment with his doctor the tumor was found to have suddenly decreased significantly in size! The young man agreed to give his life to Jesus when the cancer is totally gone.

Come on Jesus!

Broken Ribs Healed!

An outreach team was in a local neighborhood preaching the Gospel when they ran across a young man who had been recently injured. Two of his ribs were broken and he was in a fair amount of pain and had limited mobility, especially in his upper body as a result of the injury. Our team asked if they could pray and he agreed. As they prayed, all pain left his body! The team asked him to do something that he couldn't do before and he was bending, dipping and turning all around. He had no pain and complete mobility was restored right on the spot!
