I have a growth on my thyroid that has been growing for the last four years. Six weeks ago, I went to the doctor to have it checked and it had grown a lot. The doctor wanted to do a biopsy, but I told him I wanted to wait since I was at the appointment alone and that I would like to reschedule when my husband could be there with me. A little over a week later, we went to Redding for the Leaders' Advance at Bethel Church. While there, Bill Johnson was preaching and he paused, saying that we all should pray for people who have growths or tumors in/on their bodies. The lady next to me prayed for my thyroid.
This past Monday, Bill took me back to the doctor and I just knew that I would have a testimony. As the doctor did the ultrasound, he stopped on that same spot and began typing info into the computer. I was disappointed at first because i could tell that he was seeing something in there, but I quickly reminded myself that the growth HAD to have changed! I laid there on the table, silently praying that the Lord would just shrink it right there. In a few seconds the doctor said, "That is odd. This is just so odd. I need to compare something." He looked at my charts and said, "Well, it changed. It has shrunk....significantly. This is just so odd. These kinds of growths never shrink this much....and especially not this quickly." He said that it's now so small, that it's really insignificant.
I asked the doctor, "Well...can I tell you what happened?" He looked puzzled. I began to tell him about the church service and how we prayed. I told him some of the testimonies that happened while we were there. He smiled and shook his head. He said, "Well, what can I say?"
I left the office jumping up and down....so excited! I have never been so happy to pay a medical bill in my life!

Teenagers Doing Street Ministry/Healing
My son is part of a group called Revivalist Academy. These teenagers regularly go out and pray for people. Today, my son's group went downtown to minister at Church Under the Bridge, where many homeless people gather for church service and free lunch. My son sent me the following text message: "I just prayed for a lady that had a bad left leg and a blood issue thing. She had a cane and after we prayed for her there was no pain and she stood up and threw her hands into the air and said it was healed. The swelling on her leg went down and she walked away without the cane!!"
God Runs The Cell Phone Store
Just wanted to share a favor story. Last week, our family banded together to get Bill a bluetooth device for his cell phone for his birthday. He had it less than 24 hours when it got dropped on the ground and stepped on, which destroyed it completely. Bill was really upset, knowing that Sprint will not replace something like that. We prayed together and asked God to manifest His favor in the situation, so we drove to Sprint, explained what happened, and the manager said, "I'm really sorry, but we can't replace this....BUT," and he turned to the lady working there and continued, "...go get him another one." He gave us a brand new bluetooth device!!!!! Praise God.

Testimonies This Week...
After a service that my hubby preached at this last Sunday, where healing prayers were released, a friend who attended posted this on her FB account: "I walked to our Wal-Mart, not far but about a mile. This is the first time I have been able to do it without pain. Ray says he has his wife back." Praise God!
My husband and I have been praying for God's provision so that we can pay our taxes by April 15th. In the natural, it was totally out of our reach to get these funds. My husband received a call on March 17th about a possible project that will pay him more than enough!
Another prayer we have prayed was that God would send us back to Maui for a visit and to be a part of the revival that's going on there. We received a phone call on March 17th (yes, two awesome phone calls in one day!) from the church there who has asked us to come and do some services/conference this summer! Yay!
I got a call today from a friend who bought a very special necklace for herself to remind her of new beginnings with God. It was a "symbol" to her of reassurance of all the good that God is doing in her life right now. She accidentally broke the necklace and was very depressed about it. She set it on her night stand, where it stayed for two weeks. Every time she looked at it, it broke her heart, so she asked God if He would fix it for her. She called today to tell me that she looked at the necklace and it was fixed! It's just like new!
A friend was telling me yesterday about how she prayed for a friend who had a 65% blockage in the heart. They prayed over her that she would not need surgery and that the blockage would leave. When the docs went in to do the procedure, it was only 20% blocked, so surgery was NOT necessary! The doctor said he did not know how that happened.

Healed of Cancer
Our pastor shared a testimony with us this week, from a woman who is a mother of five children. She was recently in the hospital with cancer. After the surgery, the doctor told her, "I'm sorry. There is nothing more we can do for you." She wept and wept. She and her husband, needless to say, were so devastated. As she was praying later on, she heard God say, "Reach up. Reach up and grab hold of the prayers of the saints." She actually reached her hand up and was struck with great joy. She could not stop worshipping God and rejoicing. Six weeks later, she went in for a scan to see how far the cancer had spread. The news came back: "You have NO cancer."
Broken Neck Healed
A young man was brought to our youth group this past Wednesday night. He had broken his neck several weeks ago in a football game and had been in lots of pain and could not completely turn his head. The youth gathered around him and prayed. He had an intense experience with God in which he was COMPLETELY healed! No pain! Full range of motion! He accepted Jesus as his Saviour.

Miracles in Nicaragua
Here's the latest from our friend, Earl:
In the morning service, a 13 year old girl who was deaf and dumb, came forward for prayer after healings had already taken place, a first for that church. She was prayed for and then went to the bathroom Suddenly people heard screaming from the bathroom and it was the girl. Her ears had opened up and they began testing her hearing and she was hearing. Then she began to say her first clear words, ¨mama, papa¨. The whole church began crying, what a beautiful moment.
I was in the church of the cuban pastor in Managua yesterday with Pastor Harry and Jairo. We work as a team. Yes, we saw an old man who could not walk well begin walking and jumping up and down like a kid. Other miracles took place as we had the people praying for the sick. There was a man there who is in the parliament and was invited to come. The pastor asked me to pray for him and God touched him prophetically and in his life and he crumpled under the presence of God. Later, as we were praying for the people, I asked him to pray for others also. He was shocked but haltingly did so. After awhile he really got into it and I heard afterwards that he came up to a panamanian evangelist and said, ¨Hey, I am praying for people!! Iwant to pray for you too¨ And he did so and he was just thrilled to actually be a part of this and I also found out that he wants to also become a pastor.
A young man who came to help at the crusade received an impartation and embraced the message. His father was in a hospital dying and the family was weeping at the bedside. This young man, fresh from the crusade, went to his papa and declared the kingdom of God over him. The power of God touched his dad. The doctor came in and could not find anything wrong with him, had the machines to check him out and thought the machines were not functioning so he called in another doctor. The dad is up walking around.
A woman who had a disease for 14 years was prayed for by another christian. I do not know the name of the disease in Spanish but it was in her legs and it is very painful and causes the skin to be black and blue. After prayer the pain left and the skin turned back to its normal color.
Another woman asked God to take her life because she was in so much pain and felt a ball within herself she said. A christian prayed for her and all the pain left and she felt the ball dissolve and she was beaming.
An elderly woman had a stomach disease and could not eat. When prayed for she was healed and began asking for food to eat.
The Cuban pastor has been hearing the message and preached at another crusade Saturday and began to see miracles of healing for the first time like that.
Embracing the message, impartation through revelation along with praying for the leaders and believers is beginning to take place.
At the internet place I am at, an unsaved young woman asked Harry and I to pray for her 3 month old niece dying of a kidney infection in the hospital. I told her the testimony of the baby we prayed for over the phone in Hawaii and how God touched him and we just held hands and prayed. The next day she said that her niece did not die but got better and the doctor said it was a miracle.
