From one of the ladies in our church:

I am so excited! My next door neighbor told me a testimony of the goodness of God yesterday and I just have to share it.

A little background info: Her Mother has been sick and had some tests done - Her Primary Dr called her at 10pm one night last week - just before 4th of July - and woke her up to tell her that she had some spots on her lungs and kidneys and it was cancer. Of course, she and her husband did not go back to sleep the rest of the night and she has been a wreck ever since. My neighbor, Mia has been very upset as well. On Friday, 07/03/09, the Lord laid it on my heart to stop by their house and get Mia to lay hands with me on her mother and pray over her. I also anointed her with oil. In the meantime, over the last couple of years, Mia's truck has been doing strange things. It has a passive alarm system and every once in awhile it thinks that she is trying to break in and locks itself down. Sometimes it is hours or even days before it will release and she can then start the truck. Now for the testimony......it's sooooooo good!

Yesterday, July 9, 2009, Mia's mother, Ruth, had an appt with a urologist re the spots on her kidneys. Mia was getting ready to go to pick her up and, of course, the truck shut itself down and wouldn't start. She asked her husband to go out and see what he could do - knowing that there wasn't really anything he could do. She said that the Lord reminded her that He had told her to grab her anointing oil as she had gone out of the door and she hadn't done it. She picked up the oil and decided she was going to pray over the truck. She walks out and her husband is sitting behind the wheel of the truck and sees the oil and looks at her like - Oh, no, you're not gonna embarrass me in front of all our neighbors. She looked right at him and laid a line of oil in the shape of a cross on the hood of that truck and then walked completely around the truck praising the Lord and praying. Inside she was saying, "Lord, you know I can't afford a new vehicle and I can't even afford to fix this one. Please fix this truck so I can go take my momma to the Dr. I know you don't want me to be embarrassed in front of my husband and my neighbors either." (Neighbors were out doing yard work, etc.) She stopped in front of the truck, looked at her husband and he turned the key and the truck started!!!! How good is our God!!!

She then went and picked up her Mom. On the way to the urologist, she told her mom about what had happened and said, "Mom, I know that the Lord cares a lot more about your kidneys than He does about an old truck. I know He's gonna heal you." She said her mom perked up a little at that. Also, Mia's brother had told them to be praying Ps 91 and 41 and when they were called back into the exam room to stand up and declare Ps 41 over them. While they were waiting to be called back Ruth looked a Mia and said, "I just felt a huge peace come over me. I'm more peaceful than I've been for weeks." Long story short, the urologist told them that the spots were just a couple of cysts and were not cancerous. HALLELUJAH!

They still have to go see the Pulmonary Dr about her lungs, but we're believing for a Kingdom report! Can anyone say, "PRAISE THE LORD". I hope this blesses you and remember - the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy! Spread the good news.

Last night a lady came to church who had been in an accident which left her with a torn rotator cuff. She had some emotional issues from the ordeal also. We anointed her with oil and began to pray for her. After about 20 minutes of prayer and removal of many arrows from the evil one we asked her how she was doing. She said it was better and the pain had gone down. We asked her to do something she could not do. She lifted her arm up some, but not all the way. We prayed again and washed her feet. When asked to do something she could not do she raised her arm and moved it around in a circle. The pain was gone and her range of motion was back. She said she was healed. God is good all the time.

One of our ladies is a co-section leader at the Birmingham Prayer Furnace. A young woman came up for prayer for healing of her eyes and knee. She wears glasses and just wants correct vision. She prayed for her eyes and one of the men bent down and started praying for her knee. During his prayer, he told her that he had seen a vision of her running. He stood up and I asked her, "What couldn't you do?". She said she couldn't run. Our lady said,"So run!". She took off running back and forth across the meeting room and started laughing and crying at the same time. She was healed. God moved mightly all day. God is mighty and His arm is not too short! He reaches down and touches us wherever we are.

One of the ladies in our church was at the Dollar Store and overheard a lady talking to her family about her swollen leg. She was in much pain. Our lady asked if she could pray for her and was told yes. After praying she was some better so they prayed again. She had much less pain but the leg was still swollen. Today we found out the swelling and the pain is gone. Praise the Lord.

We were at a birthday party when one of the ladies reached down to pick up her child. She twisted her back, screamed, and fell to the ground. Everyone ran to her and tried to help her up. The pain was so bad she could not get up or have anyone help her up. We prayed for her and she said she felt a litter better. We prayed again and the pain was gone. You could feel the heat of God's presence on her. She got up off the ground and we continued the party. Later that afternoon she put her five kids in her van and drove seventy five miles home with no pain.

A lady came to church and we ministered to some emotional needs she had. During prayer she kept balling her hands up into fists. We asked her to open them and just receive from God. She kept doing it. We asked her what was going on and she said,"They don't hurt." We asked her what she meant and she said she had arthritis and the pain was gone. We asked her if she had pain anywhere else in her body. She had arthritis in other joints. After more prayer all pain was gone. She said she was healed.
