I was in my early twenties a newly wed and diagnosed with crippling rheumatoid arthritis. My hands had begun to look like I had very large knuckles and swollen fingers lots of pain. Could not hold anything just kept dropping things, even the phone. The doctor told me to get a hospital bed and a wheel chair because I was going to be a cripple and on lots of medication the rest of my life. I had just gotten married, graduated from college and was teaching school when I got the news. I was told to stop teaching because I could not take a chance and pass out from the medication. After 2 years and taking myself off the medication for six months, we had our first healthy baby boy. I had been told I would not be able to have children. Another 2 years our second healthy baby boy was born. I had to go back on the medication, 50 to 60 tablets of Motrin a day, sleeping pills and valium, with Maalox by the bottle and every 2 weeks drive 150 miles to get a shot of cortisone in the hip. My youngest was about 4 months old when I was listening to the 700 Club, while I was attempting to do house work, when Pat Robertson said," There is some one out there that has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and in the name of Jesus you are healed. “I hollered that's me and I claimed the healing for me. It has been 40 years and I am still free of the horrible pain and medication. God is good!!!

THE LOVE OF MY FATHER FOR A SINNER
I was given diagnoses of terminal cancer. I went to the elders of my church and asked for prayer of healing or a miracle in the cancer. They had told me 15 pints of blood, 5 hrs in surgery and if I survived, I would most likely wish I had gone on due to the pain and physical condition I would be in, radiation and so forth. I felt the power of God come thru me and out thru the bend of my knees. I had the surgery it was 1 hr and 45 minutes from the beginning until I woke up in my room, from what was supposed to have been a five-hour surgery, no blood transfusions, no cancer. The doctor shook his head and told me how could this be, I pointed up and said that is how. He just shook his head no, the nurse with him told him she believed. I promised God that any time a door opened to tell someone what He had done I would do so. God can and will deliver us from all things if we just reach out to Him and TRUST, He will do it. Praise the Lord and and I ask all things in His name Jesus. I thank you for the opportunity to share my miracle.

BLINDED AND HEALED
I was blinded and healed when I was 5 years old. My mother was ironing and I came up to her just as she was pulling the iron back. The iron burnt my eye. My mother said that when I was burnt, I cried out , “Oh God please don’t let me be blind” (I had been in Sunday school since they could carry me there. I can still remember the bright colored pictures of Jesus healing people and of him surrounded by little children. “Jesus loves the little children all the children of the world” was one of the popular songs then.)
I was taken to the hospital and my eye was bandaged. This was in the mid 1950s, and medicine was definitely not as advanced as it is now. My parents were told that a cornea transplant could possibly be done. I was in the hospital overnight. The next morning when the bandages were taken off, my eye was perfectly healed. It was only a few years ago that I found out that the morning when the bandages were removed and the doctor saw that my eye was healed, he pulled my parents aside. He said that he didn’t know if they were religious people or not, but my eye was perfectly healed and he hadn’t done anything to my eye.
My miracle has affected my entire life. The church I was raised in and stayed in until I moved out of state when I was in my late 20s didn’t teach on healing, didn’t anoint with oil and pray for the sick. I was raised, saved, and baptized in the Church of Christ. But I was blinded and healed as a child who was taught about a Savior who loves people and who healed people.
My healing gave me a hunger to know more about my God and my Savior, Jesus Christ. I’m a seeker. And I thank God for the Holy Spirit, who is leading me and guiding me into all the truth I need to know to fulfill my destiny here. I cannot keep quiet about the miracle that happened to me so long ago. My prayer is that my miracle will give someone hope, who has no hope or little hope left. God is no respecter of persons. What He did for me He will do for others.

A TOUCH FROM HEAVEN
When I was a young man, the doctor's gave me a few days to live. When the time came and I thought I was going to die; I just went out to the woods to die. I had never been to church a day in my life, so I didn't know how to pray! I simply cried out to God who I never met, with a joint, a drink and a doctor's report of death in my hand. The animals began to gather all around me and I just thought it was good dope.
I had no idea what happened that day in the woods until a few weeks later when the doctor told me I was completely healed! My mind went back to that day in the woods and then I realized what happened. God's love and Glory had filled the woods when He reached down from heaven and healed me! How sad that the animals recognized God's Glory but I didn't.

GOD HAD A PLAN FOR MY LIFE
I once battled depression and anxiety for over 10 years. There were many challenges that came with those symptoms, such as alcohol and thoughts of suicide. I have sat across from doctors for more hours than I can count. I have had three admissions to a psychiatric hospital. I swallowed thousands of prescription pills and drank countless bottles of beer. All this in effort to take away the pain of post traumatic stress disorder.
My friend of 30+ years had visited me on two occasions that I recall in particular, once at my house and once in the psychiatric hospital. The visit at my house ended with him asking if he could pray for me. I obliged but laughed it off.
God had a plan for me on July 18,2009, the same friend invited me to a church outreach bbq. I was like "woo bbq! I will bring the beer!" But my friend explained that beer would not be a great idea for this particular bbq. Keep in mind that I am also a vegan/vegetarian so I was not impressed at all, but I said "Well, I can't bring beer and I'm a vegetarian but I'll still go to your bbq".
Again I tell you, God had a plan for me. As soon as I stepped foot on the property at the bbq, I felt nothing but love. It was an arms wide open feeling that I had not felt in a long time. As the evening went on, I was drawn more and more to these strangers who treated me like they knew me from birth. As time passed they shared stories of how Christ changed their lives. At that moment, I was thinking to myself "This is what I need. This is what's missing." At the end of the night my new friend, Pastor Gary, asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus into my life. I told him I was not quite ready to make that decision. However, when I walked out of there, I left with a new joy that I have not experienced in the past. That joy is what I now know as Jesus Christ.
Again, I tell you that God had a plan for me. The following night, I took a ride out to my father in laws resting place. I gave my heart to the Lord and broke down sobbing and crying, releasing all the pain and agony that had built up over the years.
The following day, I went to a new church. One that I never set foot in or heard of before. That Church was Living Hope Christian Assembly in Hamilton, ON. At the end of the service, I responded to the altar call and publicly accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior.
Since that day, great things are happening in my life. I am overcoming obstacles and advancing in His kingdom. I have had a prophetic word on my life that I am standing on. God has made great promises to my life and my family that I am faithfully holding Him to. Without Jesus in my life, I have not a clue where I would be. But with Jesus there is nothing I can't do.
Again I tell you God had a plan for me. And God has a plan for you, despite what your going through. May God Richly Bless You!

ONE OF SATAN'S OWN BECOMES A MAN OF GOD
I was born to a young 18 year old mother and a 19 year old alcoholic father. My mother raised me basically by herself until I was 7 years old, when she married my stepfather, who later adopted me. My mother worked in a shoe factory and also for my grandfather as a dispatcher for his cab company. Things on the home front were not good! My mothers way of communicating with me consisted of yelling and screaming and I witnessed her being physically abused by my biological father many times. This caused much confusion and pain for me as I tried to sort out a simple question --- Why?
I started drinking beer at the age of 9, eventually graduating to hard liquor by 11 and then I began getting high on pot and LSD by 13. This life style led me into the depths of misery an pain until one day I met a man who showed me magic beyond what anyone could imagine and the access to all the booze and drugs that I could ever want! At that time I joined a Satanic Coven, where I served as a level one Witch. I excelled in my learning, gaining more and more strength in my knowledge of witchcraft. At 16 years old, I was a Satanist Priest and in control of the drug supply in and out of the Coven, as well as the followers. I had countless women as personal slaves to do whatever I wished. The list goes on and on......
One day while waiting for a bus to go to school, a young woman, whom I did not know , appeared out of nowhere and asked me "how are you?" I was coming down from a high from the night before and retorted with, "what do you think?". She completely ignored my response and asked if I'd like to see a movie. With the ulterior motive of recruiting her to my already, well established group of slave-women, I said, "sure what time?" and proceeded to set the time for 6 p.m. that evening.
I had no idea what I was getting into as we walked into a large building in Boston, Ma. Which I later found out to be the Tremont Temple Baptist Church. I thought I was in a theatre as I sat down to watch the movie. I sat in awe of what I realized was my life on the screen! After the movie, I wept like never before.
John d'Brine from the Songtime radio broadcast was the speaker that night. It seemed he was looking straight at me when he asked the audience "is this your life?. I nodded my head in response. Without missing a beat, he said, "you need to turn it around and come down to the front and someone will show you how."
I did go forward that day and accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord of my life. After this life changing experience, I went to the Coven and proceeded to tell them that I was getting out, but leaving Satanism isn't that easy! As I went home to my apartment, someone jumped me and put a burlap sack over my head. Others stripped me and beat me leaving me for dead at a local hospital. As I healed my wounds, I began to study the Bible and dedicated my life to serving the Lord! I thanked the Lord then as I do now, that He saved me from eternal damnation I was heading for. Instead, it was God's love and grace that was extended to me that day that has given me eternal life with with Him in Heaven

A SUPERNATURAL ENCOUNTER OF THE REAL KIND
Before I met Jesus, I was a sinner on the highway to hell. I was searching for the truth. I knew there was a God and I wanted to find Him. However, I was always on the wrong road doing sinful things. I was a topless go go dancer and road with a charter gang of the Hells Angels. I drank, did drugs and got into occult practices. I lived in fear and at the same time feared death. High frequency hums like electrical shocks took over my head, to a point of temporary paralyzation. I would scream but no sound would come from my voice. I would run but could not move. I even thought of suicide because my life was hell. I had many friends but I was very lonely. I had an emptiness inside and no human could fill that void. Satan and his demons wounded me spiritually. I needed love but could not find the real thing.
In July of 1973, God called me to give up doing things my way and to walk His way with Him. At that point, I opened the door to my heart and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I said, Jesus if you are real come into my life and manifest Yourself to me. Then a feeling of guilt came over me. I thought, why would God reveal Himself to me. I was a horrible person and not worthy of Him. Nevertheless, within minutes, the darkness lightened and all my fears vanished. I opened my Bible and for the first time in my life, I could read it with understanding. It was like two prints one on top of the other and the top print was all lit up. I knew without a doubt that I finally found the truth I was searching for and that Jesus is that truth! At that moment I was cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and set free from the bondage of sin and death. I instantly fell in love with Jesus because He filled that void inside with His perfect love and spiritually I was changed.
I had a Supernatural Encounter of the Real Kind that gave birth to a deep desire to love Jesus more and know Him better. I was so excited: there was not a person on earth that I wanted to be with more than Jesus, so I hung out with Him like he was my best friend. we went everywhere together.
I wanted everyone to meet Jesus, so every person I met I would ask, would you like to meet my best friend? Most people would say yes, without hesitation. However, there were those who did not invite my enthusiasm. I tried to introduce my Mom to Jesus but being Jewish, that was a difficult situation. She just could not accept the fact that I met Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Messiah of the Jews. My Mom told her friends that Jesus was just a new fad and that I would get over it.
One night, not long after meeting Jesus, I found myself in a potentially deadly situation but Jesus came to my rescue. The mighty hand of the Lord delivered me from a person who had a loaded gun at my head. Through the whole tribulation, I had total peace as God demonstrated His awesome power in my weakness.
