MRI Report After Stroke

Here's an interesting one:
My father-in-law suffered a stroke a week ago. He was completely unresponsive, unable to move, talk or make eye contact. The CT scan showed a definite stroke in the left, frontal area of the brain. The neurologist told us it would be a long road to recovery and he said, "Do not expect any change overnight." The very next morning, my father-in-law was speaking clearly and carrying on conversation, walking around and able to function. They decided to take him in for an MRI with the dye to get a better look at the damage. The MRI showed a normal brain with absolutely NO damage and NO sign of a stroke.

Here's the tricky part: about two days later, he began having trouble putting his words together. He is still functioning well, except for his speech. BUT he can say, "Praise the Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Hallelujah. Amen." All he can do is praise the Lord. Today, we had prayer for him for quite awhile and then he was able to say some other words....and even a couple of sentences. We know that God touched him and we are expecting full recovery.

Chronic Back Pain Healed/Stroke Recovery Overnight

Last week, we attended a conference about the Kingdom of God, where a man reluctantly came with his daughter. The man has dealt with chronic, intense back pain for years....he has endured surgery, injections and tried every alternative option available to relieve the pain, yet he could not get free from it. During the conference, he went outside because his back was hurting too badly to sit down. When he came back in, he felt the presence of God all over him and all the pain left. This week, he has worked hard labor WITHOUT PAIN! He can't believe it. He reports that the pain has not returned.

My father-in-law had a stroke yesterday and could not move at first. He regained movement within a couple of hours, but his speech was not right. He could not form words or communicate what he was trying to say. The doctor told us last night, after seeing the CAT scan and other tests, that we should not expect change over night and that this could be a long road to recovery. My mother-in-law said, "We believe in miracles." This morning, my father-in-law woke up, speaking well and has his sense of humor back! We are thanking God for quick recovery.

Marriage Restored/Back Healed

I can't keep up with all of the amazing things that are happening! I'm so behind in writing about them.

This past week, a man with chronic back pain was healed and he was able to do his construction work (including mixing concrete) without having pain afterwards. He feels that his youth has been restored. Also, when my husband had prayed for him, God gave him insight; the man said it was as if my husband read his medical history and knew about the dreams and desires that he had. I love the way that God works through His people.

Long story short: a couple that divorced 9 months ago began seeking God after their separation. Their search led them each, individually, to the School of Supernatural Ministry. They were both shocked when they showed up at the school and saw each other. They have reconciled and are pursuing God together!

Brain Dead Man Awakes UPDATED

Yay!! I am so excited about this one. A man who attends our Friday night meetings has been struggling with some issues in his life, so he decided to mix heavy drinking with heavy narcotics to end his life on Christmas Eve. He was found on the side of the road, unconscious and not even breathing. He was taken to the hospital and put on a respirator while they did tests to see how long he had been in that condition so they could determine if there was any hope for him. It was decided that he had much brain damage and that he would not pull through, so our church was asked to begin making funeral arrangements. My husband, our pastor and youth pastor, along with another church came together in prayer for this man's life. The next day, he began moving. The day after that, he began looking around. This morning, our church joined together in prayer, once again, for his life, and I received a phone call tonight that he is awake, off the respirator, and conscious of what's going on. He remembers people and is already beginning to recall information that doctors did not think he could recall. Praise God for second chances!!

UPDATE: After several people prayed for him and read Scriptures to him, he became totally conscious, began speaking and was able to be released within a few days. He shows no signs of brain damage!! My husband spoke with him on the phone and was amazed.

God Heals Back Pain

My friend, Nanette, was instantly healed from an excruciating back pain that has lasted for several months. She had trouble breathing at times because of this pain. She decided to get people to pray for her one evening at church and she slept very well that night, waking up totally pain-free and the pain has not returned!!

Stomach Condition Healed

We just received the following email:

Hi Pastor Bill,
John and I will not be able to attend the class tonight, but I wanted
to tell you that John was healed of his intestinal problems on Monday
night!!! Just to refresh you memory, for the past 6 weeks or so he has
been having stomach pains which get real bad when he eats...followed by
at least one trip to the bathroom after each meal...This happened each
time he ate!..we tried over the counter meds which didn't help and he
being the male he is wouldn't go to the doctor, expecting it to just go
away, which it didn't. If you recall he asked for prayer at Friday's
Shabbatt service...Anyway, Kip, his wife Jan (?) and I laid our tingly
hands on him on Monday night at the Supernatural class and by the next
day he could eat whatever he wanted with no pain and no after effects
in the bathroom. Please share this with the class tonight.

God is great!

God Intervenes

My friend's brother was scheduled to go into chemotherapy as a radical treatment for his M.S. condition. My friend suddenly woke up at 4 a.m., hearing a voice that said, "The treatment will make him worse." She immediately called her brother and told him what she heard. She reminded him that she sent a worship C.D. and a cloth that she prayed over. He had not opened the package, so she begged him to do it immediately. Later, he called her to tell her that he played the C.D. and took out the cloth. He began weeping and had a vision of Jesus on the cross. He watched the blood running out from Jesus' feet. He felt different....peaceful....and full of God.

He then decided to have some type of body scan done to check some things out and during the scan, it pointed out something about a particular type of cell. The doctor said that they normally don't get info about that cell from the scan, so they were surprised at what the scan revealed. The info they received from the scan confirmed that if he were to do the chemotherapy, it would have destroyed him. He cancelled the appointment and is feeling much better!!
