THE FOLLOWING IS JUST A SAMPLING.
THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF OTHER HEALINGS NOT REPORTED HERE.
5/20/08 Last Sunday a hearing impairment was healed spontaneously in the glory of God during worship. One of our musicians was experiencing growing pain and inflammation in her arm that made it exceedingly difficult even to hold up her instrument. Healed (Denise Detwiler). An arthritic foot was healed. At the close of service on Sunday night a young man with serious pain in his knees had experienced substantial improvement by the sovereign touch of God during worship and was receiving prayer for the completion of the healing. This is all in addition to the two cases of nodules on lungs that were seen in CAT scans but that disappeared after prayer (Nicky Martin and a woman in Oregon we prayed for at a distance)- and the brother who received prayer for the kidney stones that were visible on a CAT scan. He was gowned up and prepped for surgery when he heard the doctors talking outside the door about the disappearing kidney stones that could no longer be seen in a CAT scan. He got dressed and went home (Mike Barnes). 5/20/08 Here's the quote from the email I received from Star Wiklund: "I was recently in a car accient (march 29th 08) and got a severe case of whip-lash(on top of my other 43 medical conditions) I had severe pain and was on very strong pain patch's and pain pills and musle relaxers. I had phycical theapy 2 times a week. As of thursday I was still at pain level 8 and p/theapy 1 time a week. I went forward for healing. I just came from p/theapy and the doctor. I am healed the whip-lash is completely GONE!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!! " 5/21/08 Trudy F. wrote: "I have recently been dealing with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), This has been gong on for over 4 months now. God and his mighty power has now taken away a majority of the swelling that is a big part of it and there has been no pain for over 2 and a half days. I just wanted to let everyone know that God is present and wanting to heal all who is in need of healing. Please let this be a encouragement that it will happen." (This healing remains complete as I write 6/11/08. No pain. No meds.) 6/03/08 A word of knowledge was given during worship on Sunday morning concerning someone with an injury to the left arm that had not healed properly and was giving a lot of pain. Ron Olin came forward after the service to say that he had sustained an injury to his left elbow that had been refusing to heal over a long period of time and that had been causing a lot of pain. His pain was completely relieved and it remained healed by prayer time (People of Prayer) on Monday night. (This healing, as well remains as of 6/11/08). Angela Joliff has had daily pain in her ears from infections for a number of years. God touched her powerfully during worship on Sunday night and the pain vanished. Monday morning she awoke to the absence of any pain for the first time in years and by Monday night she remained pain free. Virginia Fishburn (did I spell her last name right?) has had arthritis in her left foot for a number of years, resulting in a deformity and preventing her even from working in her garden, much less dancing before the Lord. During People of Prayer on Monday night we soaked her foot in prayer. As the evening progressed, the swelling and size of the deformity visibly diminished and by evening's end she was able to jump up and down on that foot without pain for the first time (some pain recurs from time to time and we’re still praying as it gets better). Denise Detwiler received prayer two weeks ago for such severe pain in one arm that it nearly prevented her from being able to play her violin on the worship team. It had been building for weeks prior. After prayer on Sunday morning the pain vanished in an afternoon. She remains pain free. 6/8/08 Harriet Younger came to church Sunday morning with pain in every joint and was sovereignly healed and completely relieved of pain during worship. This next is considerably more dramatic. Here's the quote from the email I received from Star Wiklund: "I want to report healing, today at church. As I know so many have been praying for healing for me for years now at New Song. Well the doctors did a upper & lower G.I. and I use to have: ulcers, I.B.S., (irritable bowel syndrome), upper reflux, coltis, diverticulitis, lower bowell sydrome.They could find no proof on any of the tests that these 6 yes SIX medical conditions are in my body." Doctor verified healing! It doesn't come much better than this! 6/10/08 This one is from Mark VanderStoep: "At yesterday’s call for healing in joints, I remained at the back. When I saw the size of the response, I didn’t want to risk anything getting in the way of my responsibilities with the ushers/greeters. Nonetheless, I joined everyone in prayer. I have had a long history of knee problems, including bolts of pain that would literally put me down on the floor. Surgery some years ago only gave me temporary relief. During the prayer, I began testing my right knee (the main problem) and it seemed that the pain had lessened. I went out to the foyer and tried the stairs. I trotted up and down the stairs, without the use of the handrails and without pain! I grabbed Danny Hagen and Steve Horn and had to show them. Danny noticed there was even a difference in my walk. At the risk of being one 'of little faith', I tested it this morning. I’m using the stairs at work (we’re on the third floor) as easily as the stairs at church. I even did a deep knee bend! (At that point, I notice that I’m going to have to re-train some muscles.) I actually got a cramp…but no knee problem! I’m presently having to re-learn walking without a limp in addition to reconditioning some leg muscles. Incidentally…I’ve taken no pain medication today. I’m looking forward to being able to walk the golf courses! Jesus heals!" 6/11/08 From Inez Saragosa: The healing that I received was two weeks ago at church - the 25th during worship. My knee injury was a result of two accidents that happened within the last 4 years. The first one was in Toronto. When I returned back from that trip I had to go through Physical Therapy and numerous tests because of the injury. That therapy didn’t work. The next one was when we were on one of the missions trips and I fell on that same knee again up in the canyon. They had to take me to the hospital in Chinlee where I not only mess my knee again, but I also sprained my foot bad. I have had a knee that locks and it feels like needles are in the knee, and if I would touch it in any way it hurts. When I would walk up and down stairs it would lock on me and was painful. Even at times when I rejoiced before the Lord it would hurt but I missed praising and worshipping God in that capacity so many times I would do it anyway and take the drugs afterwards. The Sunday that God healed my knee I was in the flow of the Holy Spirit while we were worshipping and I felt like a yo yo going up and down up and down. I was jumping continuously with not realizing what was going on. I realize that it didn’t hurt afterwards and I didn’t have to take any drugs when I got home or later on that night. I was quite surprised and said to myself, “I will see throughout the week what happens when I have to go up and down the stairs at home and at work.” On this past Sunday I got up was going to wash my hair in the sink and I decided to wash it in the main bathroom tub. I was hesitant at first because I knew I would have to kneel down and thought for a minute that I really can’t do that because of the pain in my knee when I kneel. I remember hearing from the Lakeland meetings try something that you haven’t done in a long time. I decided to kneel there was no pain. Was worshipping jumping up and down and dancing on Sunday no pain. I can bend my knee no pain. Going up and down the stairs no pain. Three weeks free of no pain. Thank you Jesus 6/15/08 From Rae Ellis Rae had a seriously enlarged lymph node in her neck. A word was giving during worship that God was moving to heal and that if anyone felt anything going on in a problem area in their body (heat, tingling, a touch, etc.), they should simply receive it as the Spirit of God moving to heal. Rae's lymph node shrank to near nothing. God heals sovereignly! 6/15/08 From Marci ( and whose last name I can never remember) has suffered from epilepsy all her life. Seizures have come frequently and strongly. After having a seizure in church a couple of months ago, members of our ministry team prayed for her healing. For the first time, she has been free of seizures for now two months. From Rich Gianzero This one comes from two years ago, but it's worth reporting because it speaks to where we're going with our children. Children can minister in the same power as can adults and this one proves it! We are currently working to bring our children more deeply into supernatural ministry, teaching them what Jesus has given them and showing them how and where to use it. Rich Gianzero had a bad back that had given him trouble for years and for which he could find no relief. Periodically we bring the children into the adult service to pray healing for the adults. On one of those Sundays, the children prayed for Rich's back and he has been free of any pain for now two years! 6/15/08 From Julie O'Hearn There was a spot/mole on my left shoulder that has recently changed color and size. Have been praying about it and was still trying to decide if I needed to have it checked by my doctor. Sunday morning I decided I didn't need to KNOW what it was, I only needed to know that God is my Healer and since it was causing anxiety and fear, I could go to Him and have it gone. I went forward and Harriet graciously prayed for me. It felt like an electrical shock went through my shoulder and the anointing went all the way down my left side. (That "tingling" sensation went on for most of the afternoon) I knew, that I knew, that I knew I was healed. I avoided even checking it out for a couple of days. I looked at it yesterday and showed it to Dennis as well. It has gotten smaller and is no longer a weird color. The devil is such a chump....... 6/18/08 From Tracy Fischer I had fallen 3 weeks ago and my leg was out of whack. I walked with a limp and was very worried as it was still very sore to the touch. If it lasted any longer I was going to have to go in for physical therapy. During worship God said if I reached out to him, he would heal me. That was the day you called ministry time for joints. I was so focused on my hand arthritis I did not even think about my leg. After several days I was walking around and realized I had no pain or limp. My ankle bones did not even crack when I walk as they normally do (even before the fall). Yesterday I even took a bike spinning class and walked on the treadmill for a mile. He healed my leg when I did not even consciously ask for it and it was sovereignly done during worship. 6/19/08 From Tim Coffman I had been told I had high blood pressure about six weeks ago. It had been checked a few times with the same result. I was at the service when you felt to pray for people who had high blood pressure. I went to a clinic. They checked my blood pressure and it had a good reading. I asked them about it (I don't understand the numbers), and they again stressed that my blood pressure was very good. 6/8/08 From Star Wiklund This healing of arthritis was on 6/8/08. Her name is Anita. She came to our church as a guest of mine. She also came the next week and received even more healing. She has suffered from this physical problem for many years. 6/22/08 From Anna Berlin Yesterday (Saturday), on the way home from the Ministry Training, my vision in my left eye cleared perceptively! Vision still blurry, but less so. I do believe that the cornea is now healed, the iris less sensitive to light, so now all I need is a new lens! Piece of cake for our Lord, yes? Thank you, Jesus! (Anna has had multiple surgeries on her eyes. Some healings come in stages. This is one where we see progress, and we will continue praying until it's finished!) 6/29/08 From Devin Wanberg Devin has suffered from scoliosis of the spine for most of his life. This was aggravated severely by a car accident. Over recent months the severe pain nearly overwhelmed him. During worship Sunday night 6/29, Pastor Loren heard the Lord say to tell Devin, “This is your night to be healed,” and subsequently called Devin forward to receive prayer. Instead Devin came directly to Pastor Loren as he played guitar and sang and told him that he had been healed of 95% of his pain just five minutes earlier. For the first time in a long time Devin was able to spend the night dancing and leaping before the Lord. 6/29/08 From Marci Marci reported on Sunday that she had been healed of her asthma. How long? “The whole month of June,” she said. How often did it affect you? “All the time.” And in all that time you haven’t suffered an attack? “Nope!” 6/29/08 From Virginia Fishburn Virginia’s father suffered from a very painful arthritic spine. He received prayer at New Song and has been completely free of pain for the first time for several weeks now. 6/29/08 From Patricia Sheffield On 6/22 a word of knowledge was given during worship concerning some kind of jury to the right side of someone’s neck. Patricia had been in process of moving her belongings from one home to another when she picked up a heavy object and suffered a very painful injury her neck. Patricia is in her ‘70s. God sovereignly healed her during worship that day. 6/29/08 From Mike Pike Mike was suffering from an injury to his chest that caused a lot of pain and prevented him from doing any kind of push-ups or other movement that involved his chest. While on our youth mission trip to southern California, God completely healed the injury. No pain. Four other significant healings happened on that trip to others who went. 7/13/08 From Pat Crom: Pat had pain in her hips such that she could not sleep well at night and definitely not when she turned on her side. She felt the touch of God during worship and the pain left her. We often suggest waiting a few days to report such a healing in order to be certain it's real and remains. After two weeks Pat reports that she remains pain free. From Donna Leonardson: As a result of an accident three years ago Donna suffered nerve damage to her right leg. This caused such pain that it prevented her from sleeping at night. Painkillers had no effect. In addition, a year and half ago she irritated the bursa in her hip. It would flair up when she would sit on hard surfaces and at other times. Two members of our ministry team prayed for her and all the pain vanished. She has been three weeks pain free. From Julie Brown: I'm quoting excerpts from an email Julie sent me. "My sister-in-law emailed a bunch of our family about her grown daughter from a previous marriage who had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I prayed very focused-ly for her for a couple of days and promptly forgot about it. her daughter went to a specialist with her test results and the pictures of the cancer and the specialist did more tests and took more pictures and could not find anything. The doctors say they know for a fact it was there two weeks ago, and can't explain how it disappeared!!!!!!!!" From Virginia Fishburn: Earlier we reported a healing of the arthritis Virginia suffered in her left foot. We reported how the pain had vanished and she had been able to dance once more. The arthritis had produced a deformity in her foot. We've been praying for that deformity to be healed in addition to the pain relief. We are happy to report that what once was the size of a golf ball has been reduced to the size of a marble. We'll keep praying until it vanishes altogether. NOTE: While we are grateful for the healing God is sending into our midst, God tells us that these "little" miracles have been only a rehearsal. As of Sunday night 7/13/08 we are praying for a step up into the big stuff! For instance, Beth and I will will visit the hospital today to pray for a newborn who needs a new heart. We'd rather see God implant a new one than let the surgeons do it, and so we're asking. God, give us faith and the anointing for the creative miracles! New spines! New arms or legs! New hearts! And more! From Veronica Taylor, 7/27/08: I, Pastor Loren, had just started our announcement video running when Veronica called me over. She was sitting directly in front of one of our floor mounted PA speakers with the sound blasting at her back. She told me she had had a deaf ear, but that it had been getting getting better, and she wanted me to pray for her for more. I did so, then whispered in her bad ear while the sound kept blaring at her from just foot behind her. I asked if she could hear my whisper. She could! Many of the healings we have been experiencing have been sovereign touches. God has simply done it, without the usual laying on of hands or other direct human agency. The following appears to be one of them. From Ray Saragosa, 7/27/08: My right foot has been turning more and more to the right with the bone below my big toe sticking out more and more with an increase in pain, even if I barely touched it. This was effecting everything - my ability to ski, dance, walk etc. When I went to my foot doctor for orthotics and shots in the foot he said the only thing they could do for the deformity that was increasing was surgery and that there was no guarantee and that it would in all likelihood only grow worse. Since the healing revival broke out in Lakeland I didn't even notice until all of a sudden I was massaging my foot and the pain was gone and I told Inez (wife) and she looked at my foot and excitedly responded that my foot was also straightening out. God in his sovereignty has healed it and is straightening out what was crooked or making that which was crooked straight. From Lisa Adian 8/1/08: During a repentance ceremony Holy Spirit cleansed me and broke Tourette’s Disease and Huntington’s Chorea. Having no health insurance, plus there is nothing any doctor could of for it either. Pastor Sandford had us in tears, then peace. The next day for the first time in over 50 years I was able to speak calmly and clearly and could walk without painful falls! I could not actually anticipate when my brain would misfire and embarrassing falls would happen. I endured feeling like a human sparkler. Now I have hope and His deep peace! It makes all the difference in the world and I am so deeply grateful for all here at this special peaceful life force of the Holy Spirit and the generous people who prayed over me, took me into their homes loved me. From Linda Helm 8/5/08: Jennifer, the gal you baptized a week ago, she got prayer for ovarian pain three weeks ago. She's had polycystic ovaries and had one burst, and had to have surgery a few months ago. Because of all her cysts, she has been in constant pain for several years, always getting worse during her periods. She was on her period when she received prayer. The pain stopped during that prayer. Her period stopped, and she has not had any pain at ALL for the last three and a half weeks. So the next week, if she has no pain at all, we will know it's a bonafide healing. She's considering asking her doctors to do another ultrasound as proof of the healing and as a witness to her doctors. Thought you'd like to know. She gave me permission to tell you about this, and to use it if you want. We'll follow up that last one and post an update. We value integrity greatly and wish to make no claims that cannot be substantiated. This is why we publish names and dates. If anyone would care to verify any healing you see published in these letters or on our website you can call our office (303-430-8100) and we'll put you in touch with the name on the testimony you wish to know about. The only one we can't provide is Lisa's. Lisa was homeless and was with us for the first time the Sunday she received her healing. We have no current contact information since she moved on. Here's the update we promised on Jennifer. She's Jennifer Coffee. She reports (August 12 or so) that she just had her period and all she had was normal cramping, which was alleviated with ibuprofen. Nothing would have helped the kind of pain she used to have. From Linda Helm 8/20/08: (We've prayed her back to be healed on a number of occasions. She hasn't been able to sleep in a bed for years because of pain her back.) I wanted to let you know that God really has been healing my back. I have been able to sleep on the couch for nearly three weeks and wake up without any pain at all. Plus I am able to sit and not have any pain from that either. It's just major progress. Thanks for praying for me! From Ryan Nelson 8/31/08: On Friday August 29, an angry drunk man power-kicked me in my jaw and I could not eat or bite down without really bad pain happening in the left side of my jaw. (After a word of knowledge related to this during worship Sunday morning) I was healed on Sunday August 31. From Rae Ellis 9/4/08: Hello Pastor Loren, Last Sunday you had a word from the lord and said "tooth". I instantly started to smile and receive any healing for my tooth that the Lord wanted to send my way. You see, two nights before, I had been up almost all night with the worst toothache. My gum was swollen like a giant marble at the base of a tooth. By Sunday morning it seemed a little better but I had shown my Mom my swollen gum and she said I should seek medical help asap. Once you said "tooth" The Lord instantly healed my tooth. My gum was completely back to normal from one second to the next. You said to place our hand on our faces near the bad tooth. My gum and tooth were healed, no pain or swelling before I could even bring my hand up to my face. When I showed my Mom the gum when I got home from church, she about fell over!! I give all the Glory to God. Thanks for all your help! From Emily Wanberg 9/21/08: This happened a month ago. She works for a dentist. They had discovered a cavity that needed filling and she had been putting it off for al the reasons people put off things like that, despite the fact that she works for a dentist. Finally, she set a time to have it done, but when the X-ray was taken to confirm how large etc. it was, it was no longer there. God filled it! 10/19/08 Marsha Johnson was diagnosed with a disease of the intestines that prevents absorption of vitamins and water into the system. A word of knowledge was given during worship about intestinal healing. Marsha was home with the grandbaby so her daughter could come to church, but the Lord touched her at home. She went in for her blood test that week and found herself completely healed of that disease. 11/20/08 Denise Detwiler: As Denise wrote it - "A few weeks ago during worship you (Loren) spoke a word about God healing some sort of abcess. I had a flare up with pain and swelling in my mouth a few days before this. It was around an area there had been some oral surgery a year and a half before. When you said this a picture of my mouth flashed before me. A few hours later I realized the pain and swelling had disappeared. This did not return. However the next day there was some drainage. I waited to make an appointment to have it checked because of the great improvement. I was not wanting to have any more oral surgery or even antibiotics if this was to be healed by God.A few days later there was another big improvement. And I was due for my dental exam a week or so later. There were a couple more notable improvements such that when I went to the dentist they could see the almost completely healed bump. By my description and what they saw, they were puzzled. It appeared to them there should have been a channel in the xrays, and there was none. They poked and prodded. They felt it was clearly healing so well they did not need to treat it in any way. But for due diligence they referred me to the endodontist who had done that surgery. I have come from there and there is no sign at all of any infection, no open channels, no apparent source or cause for the infection. They were a little surprised this had healed completely with no antibiotics." 11/16/08 Carol Dowd: I have had a back problem for 25 years. Mark and Julie Brown prayed for me and I can stand with no pain. 12/14/08 from Lisa Ritchie: My son Evan was born in 2005 and at nine months of age was diagnosed with pulminary stenosis (narrowing of an artery related to the lungs). He not only had one stenosis but two. I was told by the cardiologist that the chances of the artery healing was 50% and the stenosis in the ventricle of heart was 30-maybe 45% and that he would live with this the rest of his life. I chose to have hands layed on him about three times after services and when we went back about 8 months later the narrowing in the artery leading away from the ventricle was gone. And again we went back to church and had hands layed on him to pray for the complete healing of his heart. We just went back to his doctor on Monday and he said that he could no longer see the nerrowing of the artery leading out of the ventricle and he could barely hear the mummor that he was born with. If this defect that was never suppost to heal can be healed then maybe bigger things can happen to like anything. This has been verified by the doctor and he is looking at discharging evan from the clinic in two years if he still had no signs of this returning. 1/12/09 from Jan Barnes and Rae Ellis: Rae: “When we were watching the revival, the Holy Spirit filled the room and His presence was THERE! Jan said, 'Is anyone hard of hearing?' I said I was and had been for many years (I worked around live bands every night for 10 years, quite an assault on the hearing). She immediately placed her hands on both my ears and began to pray. I felt a internal tickling and then remember thinking, ‘Wait for the ‘pop’.”As soon as she took her hands down, I heard a huge POP, just like I had suction plungers pulling out my hearing loss (no pain). Instantly I could hear very well. I can still hear incredibly well to this day.” Jan: “Rae’s hips were healed complete of pain (while sharing the Testimony of the Lord) while we were meeting at Starbucks – This happened on Dec 26th, 2008. I had not remembered that she had said her hips always hurt her, but the next day the Lord reminded me of this and I just 'knew' that her hips were healed. Rae confirmed this via email when I checked with her. Rae’s hips are still completely healed today.” Rae: “I was unable to stand through the entire worship service at church because of the pain, sciatic nerves issues. I didn't have any of the same sensations I felt when my hearing was healed or my tooth later last year in church. Now, NO MORE PAIN. I can sleep all night without waking up over and over in tremendous pain. I can stand and walk for long periods with no pain.” Jan: “GERDS was healed – This happened on January 4, 2009. While worshiping I felt something like an electricity flipping off of my middle finger of my right hand and heat like a hot coal in my left hand. I was suddenly compelled to place the right hand on Rae’s back (electricity). Rae was completely healed of the GERDS and is still today.” Rae: “I had been suffering with not only GERD but a number of serious digestive problems for a long time. I was so sick at church that day, in fact, my insides felt like I had swallowed hot solder, burning and pain throughout my digestive track. I could not eat meat, for about the last 2 years because it would make me so sick. I could not eat out in public since I could have an instant reaction to any number of foods and be violently ill. Once I had one of these attacks, it would often take several days to feel better. Last Sunday, during worship, I felt Jan's hand on my back and I felt a jolt go through me. Immediately I knew I was healed. I could feel years of internal injury healing and over the next few days and now, I feel so good. I actually went out to lunch after church, ordered chicken fried steak and have not had any issues since.” From Handmaiden Raven (myspace name - a teenager) 1/22/09: Well my grandma had cancer in her throat. She took radiation and that made it smaller. Well, she found another lump on the other side of her throat and was afraid it was the cancer again. If it was cancer she wouldn't take radiation again. After youth group a couple of weeks ago I began to pray long and hard that God would heal Grandma's cancer. After a week my grandma called me and told me that she went to the doctors to see if it was cancer and the doctor told her that she was cancer free!!! I was so happy, now she'll be able to see me graduate. God is so amazing!!!! From Beth Sandford 1/23/09: For many years I have been praying for three people in a store I often shop in . The other day I stopped in the store and one of these precious ones approached me to give me an update on her mother. About three months ago she had asked me to pray for her mom, a severe diabetic, who was not doing well and was not given long to live. Well, her report to me was that her mom is now doing better then ever and no longer even requires insulin! What a God we serve and she was giving Him glory too! Praise Jesus! From Nina 5/6/09: Nina was scheduled for knee surgery or two different problems. She received healing prayer from a ministry team member and felt warmth go through her body. Since then she has been pain free, has canceled the surgery and has been running and dancing freely. From Diane LaManna 6/22/09: Sunday, January 21, we finished the morning service with a "fire tunnel" in which people pass between two lines of ministry team members facing one another receiving blessing as they go. Here is Diane's testimony! "I wanted you to know that after walking thru the tunnel of fire and being blessed by all Harriett rained healing on me and the Lord told me to hand her my cane, I did and have been walking pain free since. I reach for it and I kind of hear a giggle from God and the words, you don't need it anymore remember the 'rain of blessings'. I keep the picture of Harriett in my mind and keep walking without pain." From Donna Wolfe 7/26/09: Last month I developed a pain in my hip. I tolerate pain so I ignored it, but by the second week it was severe and now it was in my my leg. I had a hard time sitting or standing. In my Christian walk I have been healed many times instantly, but this time it wasn' t so quick. I knew if I could get to church, even if I had to crawl up the steps I was going to enter into worship. During worship you (Loren) has a word of knowledge about a leg. I claimed thte healing and by the time I drove home the pain was gone and I am pain free for weeks now. From Ray Saragosa and the Missions Team 7/30/09: (The team just got back from a missions trip to the Navajo Nation where they did construction work and helped out with revival meetings) Inez Saragosa received a miraculous healing of one leg growing out. She has a doctor confirmed report of the one leg being shorter than the other and having back problems associated with it and losing her balance and falling sometimes in the middle of the street. Some of the team prayed for her led by Jan Barnes and it happened. Dennis Munford also had a leg grow out where previously he too had suffered back problems and a blown out knee from walking crooked and losing his balance, falling or tripping. After Inez's healing he asked for prayer from Jan believing it could happen for him too and it did. That night Inez kept stretching out her legs in our room and comparing the length and showing me that they were even and are even. From Greg Wanberg 7/30/09: Last night during youth group, we had a time for people to come forward to get healed with back pains, well of back pain anyway. Julie Ohearn set up 4 chairs at the front, and had those who came for healing of the back sit in them with their backs pushed completely up against the chair back. She had us take their feet out stretched in front of them so that we could see how one foot was set lower than the other because of crooked backs. I am an eye witness to two of them, my brother devin and this kid dylon who recieved Jesus for his first time yesterday. I held thier feet in my hands and watched with out anywords being spoke their feet leveling out as one grew as much as a half an inch! From Mike Pike 11/6/09: I got pray for my knees on Sunday night. This past Sunday night. I really didn't think that God was going to do much for me at the time, but I went anyway. I am talking about getting prayer and not the service. I always go to the service as much as I can. I love hearing you preach. It's awesome. Anyway it was Jan Barnes, Papa Andy, and the big dark man that is always saying stuff during your sermons. Jan was touching my kness and I felt a really hot shot to my knees. I was getting blasted by the Holy Spirit the whole time too. It was really "sick". Anyway my knees where hurting when I got prayer and when I left I did not feel any pain. Also, my feet were turned out when I walked and now they are both pointed forward. God healed my knees. NOTE: Mike allowed two weeks to pass before finalizing this report just to be sure the healing was real. It is! From Deb McDonald 11/09: “It didn't take me twice when Pastor spoke a work of knowledge about a knee being healed. Being overweight, on oxygen, and not very active has taken a toll on my body. I'd just started to do water aerobics and was beginning to feel better, and wanted to be better. Not even thinking about how I was climbing the stairs, a week or more went by when I realized I was hitting each step with just one foot (instead of two feet on each step)! The knee that was affected the most had been damaged in a car accident over 15 years ago and was starting to seize up. That's been more than two months ago and I am now beginning to walk down the stairs as well with just one foot on each step! Yeah God!!” From Bonnie DiRito 12/20/09: “My eye was scratched, couldn’t hardly open it. Painful! Drove to church this morning with one eye open, then got prayed for after the service and Jesus healed my eye immediately.” From Virginia Fishburn and Daughter Brandie 12/09: “Brandie fell this summer, we heard her ankle pop. We got brandie to church Sunday night. 3 or 4 prayed for her and God healed her! I fell in my driveway after the first snow storm. I hurt my back. Sherry prayed and God healed my back.” |
