"He (Jesus) personally carried our sins in his body on the cross... by his wounds you were healed." (1 Peter 2:24) What God has done for me, he wants to do for you. If you need a miracle, thank God for it before it is manifested because faith praises God and fear pleads with God.
Miracle #1: In early April 1973, it was time for my baby son's six week physical check up. During the examination, when the Doctor listened to my baby's heart, he said he found a problem. He didn't explain to me what he thought the problem was, but his facial expression and tone of voice indicated great concern. The Doctor then said there just happened to be a Pediatric Doctor who specialized in these type of issues currently in the hospital. He left the room to retrieve this Doctor to examine my son for a second opinion. After he left the examination room, I was obviously alarmed. Here was my little baby with a heart problem. Possibly life threatening. Immediately I heard the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit telling me to lay my hand on my baby's chest and speak healing in Jesus name to my baby's heart. The moment I finished praying the Doctor returned accompanied by the Pediactric Specialist. The Specialist listened to my son's chest. As he did, he asked the first Doctor to tell him again exactly where he detected the problem. Because he didn't detect any problems. The first Doctor then asked to listen to the heart again and to his amazement the problem was gone. Bewildered this Doctor explained in detailed medical terms to the second Doctor what he had found earlier. Now, both Doctors couldn’t find the slightest hint of a problem. Puzzled, perplexed, and astonished the Doctors gave my son a clean bill of health. I then explained to them what I did and that God healed ngt son instantly. All they did was shake their heads in unbelief. To this day, my adult son has a healthy heart.
Miracle #2: On May 1991, I had my first Vertigo attack. Without any warning, the room started spinning. I was unable to stand and fell to the ground. Nausea overwhemed me. This condition went on for several hours. After this episode, I experienced several subsequent attacks over the next year. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Meniere’s Syndrome. A condition that is incurable and genetically inherited. This syndrome dramatically affected my ability to function. I began thanking God for the healing to be manifested in His time and in His way.
As I waited for my miracle, one day I had another attack. I put myself to bed to wait it out. The TV in my bedroom was on and the 700 Club program was being aired. About five minutes later, Pat Robertson was praying for people. As he prayed, he received a Word of Knowledge that a woman watching the program was experiencing a severe Vertigo attack. He went on to say that God was healing her from Vertigo and would answer all her prayers she had been praying for her family. I knew I was that woman. At that moment, all my Vertigo symptoms were instantly gone. Since that time, I've been free of Vertigo.
Miracle #3: In September 1992, I experienced a TIA (a mini stroke). I instantly lost the use of the right side of my body and couldn’t speak. I found myself on my kitchen floor unable to get up. My family called 911 and an ambulance took me to the Emergency room. Later that night, I was hospitalized. The next three days many tests were taken in search of the root cause of this attack. When the test results were analyzed, it was discovered my heart had a malformed diseased mitral valve. The theory was this valve was causing blood clots to form within the heart causing the mini stroke. I was put on an anti-coagulant medication and informed I would need open heart surgery to replace the valve. On the fourth day, I was released from the hospital with all my faculties restored. For the next four and one half years I took the prescribed medicines as I believed for my miracle.
On July 3, 1997, I was watching the 700 Club. During the prayer time, Pat had a Word of Knowledge regarding a woman with a defective Mitral Valve. Pat said, “God is healing her valve.” Then Pat added, “God isn’t just healing the valve, He is doing a creative miracle, because the valve is diseased and needs replacing.” Immediately, I felt the peace of God come over me. I knew this healing was for me. I received it and thanked God for answering my prayers.
On my next visit to my doctor, I asked about the condition of my heart. She listened to my heart. Then she looked at my chart and said, “It’s been awhile since you had an ultrasound done on your heart. I will schedule you for one.” Several weeks later, I had the ultrasound done. In fact, the hospital had just received the latest high level technological ultra sound machine available. It had arrived only two weeks earlier. Now, as the test was being performed I watched on the monitor what my heart looked like in real time. I immediately noticed the difference between what my valve looked like on my first ultra sound and what the “new valve” looked like. The test result needed to be read by a specialist who would determine the condition of the mitral valve.
A week later, I received a phone call from my doctor. She said, "The tests revealed your heart valve to not only be normal, but absolutely perfect! You can quit taking the anti-coagulant medicines. Congratulations." I now had the tangible evidence confirming my healing.
