Testimonies

Tortured By Rash

While serving as a local hospital chaplain, a woman I knew from church asked if I would visit her brother who was in the hospital. He was suffering with a mysterious rash that covered his body from the top of his head to the bottoms of his feet. Even after several tests his doctors still could not determine the origin or cause of the man's medical problem. This man was tormented by the urge to constantly itch. He was miserable!

When I entered his room he was sitting on the side of his bed. It was easy to see he was deeply disturbed by his affliction. Telling him I was there because his sister had asked me to come, he told me; "yes," he needed prayer badly because this terrible rash was driving him crazy! Trusting the Lord that the man's condition was not highly contagious, and that I was on a mission for the Lord and therefore protected from any threat of catching the rash myself; I asked the man if I could lay my hand on top of his head and pray for him. He agreed to allow me. I then asked him if he believed in Jesus, and that Jesus was going to heal him. He strongly professed he did! A miraculous thing began to happen. As the man and I prayed, I opened my eyes once or twice to observe any body language or response from the man. I looked down at the man's forearms where thousands of little red whelps were and I was amazed to watch as the red rash was disappearing right before my eyes! As we ended our prayer, I asked the man to look at his legs, arms and hands as the rash was quickly disappearing all over his body as we watched! The man jumped from his bed and exclaimed; "He's healing me! Jesus, is healing me!' We were both shouting now, and the man asked me to go with him down the hall to the nurse's station; he wanted to show his nurse what had happened. When he showed her that his arms and legs and the bottom of his feet were now without the red rash she nearly dropped her clipboard and her jaw fell wide open!

Jesus performed a miracle for that man I believe just to show He can. Praise God!


Child’s Healing Miracle!

A young woman, knowing my wife and I prayed for others at our then place of business, asked if we would pray for her baby who had Spinal-Bifida and was very visibly handicapped. In addition to the baby’s arms and legs being twisted and deformed she also had crossed eyes. This was a very sad situation, yet the young mother was full of faith in God. She truly believed in a healing miracle for her precious little girl! We laid hands on the mother and her child, and anointed them both with oil. My wife and I then prayed both in tongues and in the natural, asking Jesus to lay His mighty hand of miraculous healing upon the two. We were moved with deep compassion and felt the presence of His Holy Spirit, and fully expected a miracle for this baby! 

The mother and child left us and we didn’t see or hear from her for two to three weeks. And then, one day the two came into our store again; the mother seemed filled with joy and was eager to tell us how her baby had been healed by Jesus! I looked at the child but at first glance couldn’t see any change in the baby’s condition. Still, I congratulated the mom and expressed my happiness for the baby’s healing even though I couldn’t see it. The mother told us how Jesus had healed her little girl. She said, “I know my baby still has problems but, you see Jesus has healed her by allowing her to now receive all her medications and treatments without any negative reactions. She is so much improved since we prayed for her, and I thank God for her healing!” I then noticed the baby’s eyes were not crossed anymore and I said, “Her eyes are straightened.” The mother confirmed and said, “I know, isn’t it wonderful?”

God is so good, and His mercy is all around us. We just have to un-cross our own eyes and see how His healing is not always in the manner we expect. God, You are so wonderful!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
