DECEMBER 2004 - HEALED OF ARTHRITIS AND KNEE PROBLEMS!
I had experienced pain of arthritis for years over my entire body, especially in my hands, shoulders and knees. On December 29, 2002 while getting out of my car, I fell and experienced great pain in my right knee and needed crutches to walk. The doctor examined me, x-rayed my knees and reported no cartilage in my right knee and damage to my left knee, and recommended a total knee replacement on both knees. During the next service at Grace Christian Center, Pastors Phillip and Cheryl Jackson laid hands on me and in the Spirit of the Lord said; "You are willing and obedient, you know what to do, now just walk it out". At this time the arthritis pain throughout my body was completely gone, with the exception of my knees which remained the same. Over the next 2 years, I continued to endure pain in my knees, limiting my activities to the point that I was not able to work at all for a period of 10 - 12 months. I continued to be obedient to what the Spirit of the Lord said to me, walking it out through prayer and study of the word establishing myself further in the area of healing. On December 16, 2004, at a prayer meeting, my Pastors laid hands on me again under a very strong anointing, and the Spirit of the Lord said; "Not a limp but a sprint - Jesus is the same yesterday and forever - measuring by the word, for nothing else is a standard, nothing is above the word or beneath, and because you have measured by my word and not by the circumstances or pain, you will step in and walk in this realm - no longer shall a limp be a hindrance - you will say He is the same yesterday, today and forever - no longer from this day a limp" since that night, I walk with a sprint and not a limp, and at a pace that my wife says to me "slow down, I can't keep up with you". Thank God for His healing power through His word and the anointing upon the precious Gift of God in my Pastors.

DECEMBER 2004 - HEALED OF PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS!
After walking with psoriatic arthritis for over ten years, I was at the point where I couldn't even straighten out my arms and had severe pain in many of my joints. In the past, I had ask for hands to be laid on me for my healing, but I was always looking for some immediate sign of healing as evidence that I was healed. I had not yet received the revelation that I must believe God's word no matter what I see or feel. On December 16, 2004 I attended a prayer meeting, and after the prayer time Pastor Cheryl Jackson called several people out to have hands laid upon them, and I was one of them. I had been studying for some time at home along the lines of healing to strengthen my beliefs, and when Pastor Cheryl laid hands on me and prayed, something happened on the inside of me, I knew that God's word was true in my life and that I had my healing right then, whether I saw or felt anything. After the meeting was over I was preparing to leave when I realized that I could straighten out my arms and the pain in my joints had completely gone. I thank God every day for the health in my body and for the sacrifice of Jesus our Lord and Savior.

AUGUST 2004 - HEALED FROM LIVER CANCER!
On August 10, 2004, I was diagnosed with liver cancer. The doctor told me he didn't have anything to prescribe for my healing. He recommended that I seek the opinion of other doctors, but he said they would say the same thing. Everyone could tell that I was sick with cancer. I was swollen, and could eat very little each day. If I would eat a hot dog, it would be enough for the whole day, and I would endure great pain. It felt like a knife going from my chest all the way through my back. My wife and seven children were praying to God for me, and all the churches we knew were praying for me. My son Daniel lives in Charlotte, NC, and works for a man by the name of David. Daniel told David what was happening to me. When David heard my story, he told Daniel that God works in the power of healing at the church where he attends. When Daniel told my wife this, she told him she wanted to send me to that church, trusting in the Word of God concerning healing in 2 Kings 5:5-14. I attended the evening service at Grace Christian Center on August 22, 2004. With each word that Pastor Phillip and Pastor Cheryl Jackson ministered that night from the Gospel, my faith grew stronger and stronger. I was called to go up front to receive the healing anointing through the laying on of hands through prayer. I went forward believing with all my heart that I would be healed in the name of Jesus Christ, and I was healed! After the service ended, I went to a local Indian restaurant for a bite to eat. I ate my entire meal of lamb chops, plus tasting what was on other people's plates! I had not been able to eat like that for about a year. Afterward, I felt very good, and the rest of my trip in North Carolina was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Upon returning home, I visited a Specialist. After all the tests were taken, it was confirmed on April 13, 2005 that my body was cancer free! God touched me, and today I preach the Word of God and share my healing testimony to all the churches where I speak. I tell everyone I speak to on the phone who doesn't know yet! Through this testimony I want to thank God first. I also want to thank my son Daniel, David, Pastors Phillip and Cheryl Jackson and the church family of Grace Christian Center who showed me so much love and compassion. I pray that the power of the Holy Spirit increases in their ministry. God bless you!

JUNE 2004 - HEALED FROM CIRCULATION PROBLEMS & HEART DISEASE!
After experiencing a second heart attack in 2003, I had a stent inserted in my heart. A few days after the surgery my fingertips began tingling and going numb. Soon after, my hands began drawing in and I experienced extreme dizziness, to the point of nausea. Some days it was impossible to drive or walk, and was sometimes difficult to even get out of bed. My physician told me this was an incurable heart and circulation problem that I would just have to live with. I am a born-again Spirit-filled Christian and this diagnosis was simply not acceptable. I found The Miracle Church via the internet through its affiliation with RHEMA Bible Training Center, and was delighted to know they were only a few minutes from my home. After reading the testimonies, I decided to attend the next Sunday morning service. When Pastor Cheryl anointed my head and prayed for me, I knew the Spirit of God touched me. At home that afternoon, I could not put my finger on it, but something was different. While sitting in the evening service, I noticed I could feel my fingers, and my hands were not drawing in anymore! The dizziness is completely gone and I know God has given me a new heart!!! January 2005, I am walking two miles a day and working out with weights. My Cardiologist continues to give reports confirming God's miraculous power in my body and I have gone from seven to eight pills a day to none at all.

MARCH 2004 - MIRACLE SIGNS AND WONDERS!
In January 2004, I was diagnosed with cancer of the small intestines. The prognosis the doctors gave me was a 25 percent chance of living 5 years, which they said was being optimistic due to the type of cancer. On January 7, 2004, I had major surgery that removed 1/3 of my pancreas, 1/5 of my stomach, my gall bladder and a good portion of my small intestines. After surgery my treatment consisted of 28 radiation treatments and chemotherapy at the same time. The radiation treatments began on February 26, 2004, and ended on April 6, 2004. My last chemo treatment was on December 16, 2004. During my first week of treatment, I received a prayer cloth that my aunt had received from The Miracle Church. I took the prayer cloth to every treatment, and it never left my body. During the second week of treatments the radiologist noticed that I had something in my hand and asked what it was, I responded that it was a prayer cloth my aunt sent to me that had been prayed over and anointed according to Acts 19:11-12. On March 23, 2004 (Tuesday), I had completed my treatments and was walking down the hall to get dressed, when the radiologist approached me and asked where my prayer cloth was. I held up my hand and showed her the cloth. She said that during the treatment she saw perfect red crosses all over my body. I responded that it doesn't surprise me, I believe in God and His healing power, and that It was God. The radiologist replied "Well, It had to be because I've never seen anything like it before. She was emotional and said "I don't think I will ever see that again." She went out to the waiting room and told my mother and step dad what she saw, and my mother was stunned by it. As of May 2005, my CT Scan has been clear. They didn't see anything, Praise God! As of July 31, 2005, my energy level is back to normal, my appetite is good and I am getting ready to go back to work as a nurse part time so I can help other people with the skills God has given to me.

DECEMBER 2002 - HEALED FROM ENDOMETRIOSIS AND INFERTILITY!
My husband and I have always wanted children since before we were married. After years of pills and injections, surgery for Stage Four Endometriosis, and a miscarriage on the tragic day of 9/11 2001, we were eventually told by specialists that the disease had caused too much damage for me to ever conceive again. Although I continued to speak incorrect words of defeat and lack toward my body, I never gave up hope in my spirit to become a mother. Then I met someone who attended Grace Christian Center and she encouraged me with faith words along with books, tapes, and videos that offered true faith in God. She spoke of a healing service at the end of each month and I assured her I would attend. On December 15, 2002, during a visitation of the healing hand of God through the Holy Ghost, I received my complete healing and learned how to hold on to that healing for the rest of my life. There was still one issue that I needed to overcome, but I did not know what it was until many months went by and I was attending the Tuesday evening Bible classes. The one 'tool' I was lacking was to ask for forgiveness of the stout negative words I had spoken against my body and my lack of faith in God's promises. That night after Bible class, I fell to my knees and asked God to forgive all the unbelief spoken from my lips and countered with my faith in His Word. I woke the next morning with joy and hope of the promise of conceiving my husband's children! In April after a Bible class, we asked our pastors to stay for a few minutes so that we could reveal our joyful news that I was 5 weeks pregnant and due in December 2004! February 2005, our supernatural miracle, "Miss Aurora Lynn" was finally born on December 28, 2004, 11:41pm, weighing 7 lbs (Just PERFECT!) and 20.5 inches long. Aurora is healthy in every way. Hallelujah! And is to be an example for all who dare to believe in miracles and in God's deliverance to His faithful followers. One day she too will testify to all who will hear her story of faith in God and the miracles and joys of life.

NOVEMBER 2002 - HEALED FROM A BRAIN ANEURYSM!
While traveling to our new home for the first time, my mother had a stroke about fifty miles from my house. She knew something was wrong but did not know what happened. By the time she arrived at my home, most of the vision in her right eye was gone. She stayed in a local hospital and we played Kenneth Hagin's "Healing Scriptures" tape over and over during her five-day stay. She recovered so quickly that the neurosurgeon determined that she only needed speech therapy! During her hospital stay, a head scan revealed an aneurysm pressing on her optic nerve that was not related to the stroke. The neurosurgeon explained the options and my mother had them schedule brain surgery for November 25th. My mother attended Grace Christian Center's healing service on November 24th. After Pastor Cheryl laid hands on her, she sensed the power of God go through her body. She was under the power for a while and needed help back to her seat. She was drunk in the spirit and had stammering lips and spoke in other tongues during that service. Later that night, she was asked what she wanted to do about the surgery. She replied, "You know, I'm not afraid. How am I not afraid? I know I'm not supposed to have the surgery!" So I called and cancelled the surgery for her. She told her sibling and her other daughter that God healed her!

MARCH 2002 - HEALED FROM PROSTATE CANCER!
My doctor called me at home in February to say that test results came back positive for prostate cancer and he recommended surgery. On March 24th, I had hands laid on me by Pastor Cheryl Jackson at the Grace Christian Center Miracle & Healing service and received my healing from the Holy Spirit. On June 2nd, I received a word from the Holy Spirit during a Sunday evening prayer service that I had "no abnormal cells, only healthy cells." The next day, the urologist performed a physical examination of my prostate and said he could not feel any lumps or bumps. He also gave me negative results of a CAT scan and bone scan concerning the possibility of prostate cancer having spread. I cancelled the prostate surgery the following day with my urologist, against another doctor's advice. A later round of tests also showed complete healing of a hiatus hernia that I had been diagnosed with around 1991. My confession has been and still is that the healing power of God is working in my body! There are no abnormal cells but only healthy cells and I am cancer free, symptom free, pain free and only receive good reports!

MAY 2001 - RAISED FROM THE DEAD!
I had my first heart attack from an artery spasm in 1984. I had occasional chest pain beginning in the early 90's, followed by a second heart attack requiring a stent in my right artery in 1997. Since then, it was common for me to take nitroglycerin tablets two to three times a day or every other day for chest pain. During the May 27th Sunday evening service, I took a tablet for pain. I didn't feel the pain anymore but knew something was not quite right. When my wife asked me if I was okay, I responded, "I don't think so". My life seemed to be sucked out of me. That's the last thing I remembered until I awoke and saw people close to me. I thought I had just fallen asleep and they were trying to awaken me! A medical doctor who was in the service later wrote, "I felt his carotid artery and there was no heartbeat. Mr. C. was pale and drenched in sweat. He was clinically dead." Pastors Phillip and Cheryl Jackson rebuked the spirit of death, and after a moment of profuse vomiting, my pulse returned and I began to earnestly confess my faith! Since that Sunday, I have felt fine. I have taken no nitroglycerin and have not experienced any chest pain, nausea, or tiredness. I am still speaking my faith that I am healed. I've been thanking God ever since for my new heart! January 2005, I have had no chest pains or taken any nitroglycerin tablets since I was healed on May 27, 2001. I am enjoying the health and life that was restored to me, and am reminded of God's great healing power and goodness to all, as I play with my second grand child. I know God has great plans for my life, and no devil in hell will ever take away God's Miracle Working Power from my life.
