HEALING TESTIMONIES

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation... and these signs will accompany those who believe in my name; they will drive out demons, they will speak in new tongues... they will place their hands on sick people and they will get well."   Mark 16:15-18

PAIN FROM SMASHED HIP AND PELVIS HEALED

Some years ago I fell off a building, straight onto concrete.  I landed on my knee which pushed my thigh bone right up and out through the hip socket, smashing my pelvis.  They put me into hospital where I lay for three weeks flat on my back, not able to get out of bed.  They operated and put me back together, screwing bits and pieces in there to try and fix the damage.

Over the following years it had become achy and twitchy, especially at nights and working as a builder had become awkward.  My leg muscles would feel all tight and weird so I would favour it and stood strangely.  However, one Sunday there was a word of knowledge in worship, that 'someone had had an accident and hurt their lower back or hip and that it was really annoying the person'.  At that stage every night I was uncomfortable sleeping.  I received prayer and I felt God's power go through my leg.  I believe it was healed totally.

I don't favour my leg now, it doesn't hurt, I am still building, I climb roofs and do all sorts of stuff that used to hurt me and give me pain.  That pain isn't there any more!

HEALED FROM CHRONIC PAIN

I went to Christchurch for a weekend break but spent the first night in aweful pain, pain so intense it make me vomit.  It got worse and worse through the night, till I ended up being admitted to hospital.  They thought at first I had kidney stones, but test proved it was a urinary tract infection.  I was put on antibiotics and four hourly painkillers.  However, after six days I still couldn't stand up straight or eat properly, so I came into the Healing Clinic.  I had to take the lift up as I couldn't manage the stairs because of pain.

During prayer I actually felt the pain leave my body.  I was completely healed! Every symptom had gone, I could stand up straight, bend, run and jump... do anything!

GOD HEALED ME FROM HAY FEVER!

I used to get hay fever quite a lot.  During the University holidays I started working out in paddocks and  I struggled with believing that God would heal me.  I knew that He could, but I didn't think that He would, so I just put up with it.  Everyone at work asked if I was on medication and I would just say 'no', but then it got so bad that I did.

Then I prayed about it and I felt God say, 'when you believe, then you'll be healed'.  That was a real hard word for me because He spoke to me from James where it says 'when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, for He will receive anything from the Lord'.

I prayed about it for a while and then I chose to fast for a weekend.  That Sunday the preacher spoke about the river and the abundance that flowed from the rock when Moses hit it, that it fed the whole of the Israelites and that Jesus dying on the cross is the abundance for all of our healing.  That really spoke to me.

Since then I haven't had hay fever!  It is so cool to be able to work out in a field and have no symptoms.  It has been really freeing and I praise God for His healing and His mercy.

GOING TO WORK IN FAITH

At the moment I work as a builder which requires strength & health in my back.  I bent to lift something at work this week and I had a sharp, excruciating pain in my back which felt like career changing damage!

Somehow I managed to get through the rest of the day. I arrived home thinking I was doing well camouflaging the pain, but my wife took one look at me and asked “What’s wrong with you?”  She prayed for my back but nothing seemed to change.  I had a terrible night’s sleep with so much pain that I couldn't  find any comfortable position to lie in.

I went to work next day, praying heaps because I was determined to do a full day’s work even though I was still in so much pain.  I had prayed, I had received prayer by another believer, I believed the promise that by Jesus stripes I was healed... so the deal was settled!  I was going to work in faith!

By morning tea time I was completely healed; not a bit of pain, strength restored, no twinges or sore spots; I had the back of an 18 year old!

STOMACH PAIN HEALED

On Monday night I woke from a sound sleep with terrible stomach pain. Years ago this pain was a regular visitor and the only thing I found that would make it go would be a pethadine injection from the doctor and then it would take days for me to feel normal again.

  

I noticed the first reaction to the pain was fear so I prayed and rebuked the fear and the pain and to distract myself I went to the kitchen and had a few mouthfuls of yoghurt, but that just made me feel sicker and more uncomfortable.

  

I went back to my bed and prayed some more, nothing changed. And then I had this thought to thank God for His kindness and His goodness to me and for the miracles and healings I’ve already experienced. Within a minute maybe even sooner the pain went… what a huge relief .  I went to sleep really quickly. I don’t know how much later it was but I woke again with the same pain, maybe not quite so bad but still very, very uncomfortable and again I praised God and thanked Him as I did before and the pain left again really quickly, and it hasn’t returned.

BACK PAIN HEALED

A young woman came into the healing clinic for prayer for severe pain in her back.  She had visited the doctor and chiropractor who were both unable to help her.  The doctor had confirmed through an x-ray that she had damaged three of the disks between her vertebrae.

After receiving prayer she was able to walk and move easily without any pain.  She returned to her doctor who repeated the x-ray and found that the disks looked normal with no obvious problem!  Her back was pain free and healed because of Jesus!

DELIVERED OF FEAR

Several weeks ago my daughter came to work with me for the day because I was finally driving a machine that had a cab big enough for her to sit beside me.

We were clearing trees and slips on old forest roads that weren't being used any more.  I was getting buckets full of rubbish that I had to tip over the edge.  Sometimes I would go a little bit over the edge and we would do a bit of a lurch.  My daughter would just freak, but beyond normal freaking, it was almost ridiculous freaking.  I said to her "I think you've inherited your Grandmother's fear. I think we need to do some praying about that."  A bit later on she said to me, "so you can inherit things like that from your Grandparents can you?"  I said, "yes". 

Later still, we were working along, going backwards and forwards, tipping things over the edge  when I topped something over the edge and backed back and she said, "I think I just broke a curse off myself."  I said, "What do you mean?"  She said, "Well, I broke that spirit of fear off me and then that time when we went over the edge there, I wasn't scared."
