Baby's Intestines Healed

The following testimony is from our friends, Earl and Jana Thurner:
WOW!
This is the testimony two days ago of an incredible miracle of the healing of Nainoa, the nboy of Nainoa Thompson over the phone.
I just got off the web researching the voyages of Hokulea, the double hulled canoe built to voyage as the native Hawaiians and Tahitians did years ago, using no instruments but the stars, winds, birds and nature to guide them to all the islands of the South Pacific. You can look it up and for many years voyages took place proving how the ancient polynesians inhabited all the islands.
Jana and I were invited to a prayer meeting in Waiehu, Maui by Kaatee, one of the leaders of the Maui Supernatural School of Ministry we established last year and now 3 schools on Maui and doing well. It was a meeting where she invited her employees and others to come for prayer for their needs and she wanted us there along with the overseer of our school now, Pastor Shannon.
A man named Charlie Maxwell came who if you recall was healed at our first school session and a leading voice for the Hawaiian culture and regularly on television speaking. He asked us if we would be so kind to pray for a baby of a friend of his, Nainoa Thompson, a name I had heard but I did not know the full story until I just went online. Nainoa Thompson was the first native Hawaiian in modern times to navigate a canoe thousands of miles without instruments across the Pacific. I had no idea that he literally led every voyage from 1976 on for nearly 20 years. He is a household name in Hawaii.
Charlie went on to say that Nainoa and his wife Kathy just had a baby boy who had 2 major surgeries and was scheduled this very moment to have another and he feared that the baby would not live through it. The problem was that the intestines of the baby were not joined and the doctors were going to operate again to try to solve the problem, it was their only hope. We were told that Nainoa was on the Hokulea but Charlie did not go into details.
We were told that Nainoa would call from the hospital after 8 and Charlie told him that we would pray for the baby. We were there for 2 hours and God was moving powerfully in the room and I personally ministered to Charlie mostly through the gift of faith and knowledge also of polynesian culture and as he said, his life was deeply touched and to have a Hawaiian of that stature say that to you is amazing in itself.
Nainoa called around 8:30 and Charlie put on the speaker phone to hear from Nainoa and Kathy. You could just feel the hurt and worry and weariness in their voices as Nainoa explained everything and his concern that his son would make it through the operation. Charlie said that he was going to do an Hawaiian chant and then have me pray. After the chant, I prayed the His kingdom would come and the child would be completely healed and Kaatee and Pastor Shannon prayed afterwards. Nainoa was touched of course and then today Jana and I heard the news.
When the doctor came in, he found that the temperature and blood pressure had suddenly became normal. Then he put the instrument, whatever they call it, to see inside the baby to ascertain where to operate. When he did so, he turned to the parents and said, there was no need for surgery as the intestines were perfectly joined together and the child was completely normal. He was shocked! He could not understand it and Nainoa said that some people on Maui prayed over the phone and God healed the baby!! He was completely overwhelmed by this miracle and wants to fly here to meet everyone. WOW! What a beautiful moment, what an amazing God and what joy to be a part of it.

Healed Hand

Last week, a man with a broken hand received prayer. He had broken the hand awhile back, but never went to the doctor since he didn't have insurance, so the hand healed incorrectly and was deformed. After receiving prayer, his hand healed over night and is no longer deformed!!

No More Cancer

A woman at our church prayed for a woman she knows, who had pancreatic cancer. The woman was going to M.D. Anderson and things were looking grim. After receiving prayer, the next set of tests showed no sign of cancer. The doctor says there is no more cancer!

The River of God

We attended a church service last week that blew my mind. There was such peace and tranquility as Mahesh Chavda shared the gospel in his quiet, "no frills" way. At the end of the service, he and several of our leaders formed a line (like a tunnel) and people began walking through it as the people prayed for them. It was sweet and simple. As I stood outside of the line, I prayed for people, as well. About an hour later, as the line of people dwindled down, it was my turn to go through. I was already having a hard time standing. As people passed by me, it was as if I was being hit with waves of warm "water." The peace was amazing. I found my knees trying to buckle, but I stood firm. Finally, I sat down...but now it was my turn to go through, so I made my way toward the leaders. The closer I got, the more wonderful the "river" of warmth around my legs and I felt the way that I suppose someone would feel after a few glasses of wine. Before I even got to the leaders, I began to fall forward, it seemed in slow motion. No one had touched me, but I could see them reaching out to keep me from falling. Next thing I knew, I was being carried. I felt arms around my waist and under my arms; people trying to lift me up and they were laughing. I heard one man say, "She can't handle her liquor!" I tried so hard to stand, but my body was as limp as a noodle...and it felt wonderful! It was like being in a pool of peace...a warm river..the presence of God. I began to giggle at myself as I tried to stand. There was no strength in my legs but it felt so good. I could not open my eyes to look around me because I was basking in God's glorious presence. Finally, I was carried out of the line and set aside on the steps.

I went home, amazed at what had happened. I went to bed smiling. After awhile, I awoke myself with giggling and I looked at the clock...it was 3am! I still felt so full of joy and peace.

Ever since that night, I have had incredible dreams every night, of being with God. On top of that, I am discovering that even when things are not so great, all I have to do is think about that moment and I start giggling again and I feel peace.

God is so good. I want to stay in that place with Him. I am learning to step into that place even when there is so much going wrong around me...and I find strength.

This Week....

There are many reports of God's favor, for example, people getting jobs that they thought were nearly impossible, God returning lost items to people, and God delivering people from potentially bad situations. One situation involved the Lord actually changing a mistake in a catalog (2,000,000 copies) that saved our friends' job!

My husband lost a set of keys last week. We looked everywhere for them, even dumping his briefcase/bag....still, no keys. He left to teach his class and at the end, he asked someone to pray with him for his keys to turn up. When he went to get something from his bag, the keys were right there!

Also, our pastor received an email from a woman in our church, saying that she prayed for a woman with a twisted, swollen ankle. The Lord immediately touched her and all the pain left. Pastor Charles also received another email from a local pastor who was supposed to have surgery on an injured limb. After prayer, all pain left and after ten days without pain, he cancelled the surgery. He is doing well!

And here is a neat one from me: after paying bills and balancing my checkbook, I knew I was a bit limited and had XX amount of money left, so I have been extra frugal all week. Today, when I looked in my checkbook, somehow there was a lot more money in it. I don't know how it happened....it's all in my handwriting, but nothing matches up with what I KNOW I had written in there. Strange, but really awesome!

Update from Nicaragua

Remember the visit to the hospital in Matagalpa a few days ago? There was a sister in our church here that had a baby and in intensive care and I was told the baby had one lung and I will recheck on that but I went back and prayed for her baby and all the babies.
One thing that is starting to become apparent is that there is a culture of miracles being established and the people here are realizing it is the normal Christian life. Today I was asked to speak at a service in another church in Dario but also there would be one at 4 in a home, with our church and another church participating.
It seems that Tuesday morning that sister brought her baby home to Dario, completely well and the doctors could only say that it was a miracle. So she goes to our church, the dad goes to this other church and they want to dedicate the baby to God in a special service and they want me to preach. It just happens that I had personally led the dad to the Lord in the same service months ago that his wife was miraculously healed of stomach disease!
Remember the 14 year old boy, Jorge, the one I have shared about who has been marvellously used of God in healing and prophetically? Came to our school when only 4 months saved, now a year in God? The lady was his sister. Dios es bueno!

From A Friend in Nicaragua

I just received an email update from a friend in Nicaragua. Here's what it is happening:
A woman who we prayed for who was unable to have a baby was prayed for in July. While we praying for the sick last night she came up to testify that the miracle took place. She was pregnant but there was no movement in her womb and she had this sense that something was wrong. While I was preaching last night the presence of God just descended on her and she started feeling the baby move in her womb, just felt a lot of activity which is interesting as it is only 3 plus months along but she knew the child was alive!! She was just so overjoyed!
As soon as she was done, another woman got up and said that in July she came for prayer but not for herself but her husband who was at work and in severe pain constantly because of an inflammation in his body in stomach and back area. So we prayed and he was at work, she was in the church, and at that moment he was completely healed while he was working! He was in the service last night and I asked him if it was true and he said yes, that as he was working all the pain left his body and he has not had it since!
Then the husband of the woman pastor came to the pulpit. In that service in July, he was in the house and not in the service. The house is built to have a large meeting place for church and he was in the bedroom. He said he was listening to me speak and heard me say to put your hands on the area where you need healing, and I never even remembered saying that by the way. He was in severe pain and could not move and had a large tumor in his stomach.
So he lay flat, put his hand on his stomach and believed God to touch him. The next morning most of the pain was gone. The day after that, all the pain was gone and the tumor had shrunk to very small!
He was scheduled for surgery 2 days later and went anyway and watched the doctors freak out because the tumor was gone, he was pain free and completely healed! He told them what happened and they were incredulous! The testimonies of the Lord will fill the earth in this hour!!
In one service, there were miracles there besides the pregnant story, then a man in another room laying hands on himself and a man not even there being healed when someone stands in for him. What a great night in the kingdom!!
