Stephanie diagnosed with Lupus I received a phone call in early May that one of our members, Stephanie, had been to the doctor after not feeling well for several months. The doctor ran some tests, including blood tests. She had tested positive for the disease called Lupus. She called asking for prayer and healing. She shared with me that ever since she was a little girl, her joints, hands, legs, and feet had always hurt her, and that she never had the energy level that others seemed to have. She felt that the diagnosis was right, and that this explained why she had had these problems for years. As I began to pray for her, the Spirit in me just would not allow me to accept this diagnosis about her. In my spirit I felt very strongly that this was a lie of the devil to destroy Stephanie's life! The following Sunday during worship, I called Stephanie forward for prayer. As I began to pray for healing over her, the Lord began to speak and declare over her, " You do not have Lupus, this is a lie and a misdiagnosis by the doctor, and when you go back to see the specialist, he will confirm this by saying, you do not have Lupus! ". The Annointing was very strong upon her! This past Sunday, July 4, after a powerful time of worship and impartation by the Spirit of God, Stephanie shared her testimony. She said, " I just went for my doctor's visit, and he said I do not have lupus! " We are praising God and giving Him all the praise!!!!!!!!!!

Jane Miraculously Healed of Cancer A lady in our church named Gail Barclay, works for Hospice, which is an organization that provides care and comfort for those who are on their death bed. Gail had been assigned to take care of this 60 something elderly lady named Jane.
Jane had been diagnosed with lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and C.O.P.D. . She had been given three months to live, and now was in her third month. Gail was called in to assist the Hospice nurse, and was told this would be a short term job as Jane would not live more than a week or two at the most. She was kept heavily sedated, received breathing treatments all day and night just to keep breathing, and bed ridden 24 hours a day. Gail told me that she would cry out saying, "the devil is coming after me".
Gail began to pray, rebuke the fear, and take authority over the devil in Jane's life! Gail would pray over her words of healing and blessing. After a few days, Jane began to respond to Gail's prayers by waking up more often, communicating that she was feeling better, and beginning to eat again. Over a period of a couple of months, Jane began to be able to get out of bed, continued to improve, and began holding hands with Gail and agreeing with her in prayer for God to touch her body and remove the cancer.
One day, she told Gail that she believed God had touched her and that she no longer had cancer. Gail encouraged her to go back to her doctor and have more tests run. About three weeks ago, Jane did just that, and to the surprise of the doctor, and especially Hospice, all tests confirmed that she no longer had any cancer in her body anywhere. Jane is now getting back her strenth, going out shopping with her husband, and is planning to come to our church and give her testimony.
PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Up to that point, Gail had been going through a very hard time (had prayed herself out of a job, her husband was drinking again, and was battling depression). In one of our phone conversations, I gave her a prophetic word that this desert season would last for 40 more days and then there would come a powerful breaking out and she would see the power of God work miracles in her life. The day she got the call from Jane that the cancer was totally gone was her 40th day!!!!
THANK YOU JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don Schluter's Testimony
For 25 years I struggled with who I was, why I was, and what I was to do. I was raised in a good Lutheran Church, in a good Christian family, but still had no personal relationship with Jesus. From my childhood up, I can now see the Hand of God moving and working to bring me into His Kingdom for His Service.
When I was 19, my best friend was injured in a truck accident and paralyzed from the chest down. I had been with him that night up until about 30 minutes before he was injured. When I received the phone call that he was in the ER, and hurt bad, I was devastated. No one close to me had ever been injured like that. I spent the next two years taking care of him and helping him to adapt to his 'new' way of life. This whole experience changed me forever. For the first time in my life, I didn't come first, he did!
I had always believed in God, but had not seen the need to be that close to Him until now. I needed Him to heal my best friend, and make things the way they used to be. I began to seek God in a real way, hoping to discover how to bring divine healing to my friend. In the process, I found a real God, who loved me more than I deserved. After several Bible studies and many prayers, my best friend was not healed and lost hope in ever being so. I however had been confronted once again with the Truth, and asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart. I also received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues at this time.
However, after 6 months of pressure from those closest to me, I chose to go back to the things I was comfortable with. I never got plugged into a local church where I could be discipled and trained. The next four years were the most miserable years of my life on the inside. I knew what I had experienced was real, but I wasn't strong enough to walk it alone. I felt the continual drawing of the Holy Spirit, and the guilt of the sin I was committing.
Exactly 7 days before my son's first birthday I couldn't take it anymore. After watching my baby finish off my beer from the night before, I was cut to the heart and knew I had to changed, not only for me but also for my family. I knew the answer would be found in a church, so I went to a 'Full Gospel Church' on June 19, 1985 and was re-filled with the Spirit, committed my life fully to God, and accepted His Call on my life. I was never the same after that night, nor has my family been the same. Two weeks later, after witnessing first hand the life changing power of God in me, my wife also gave her life to the Lord and was filled with the Spirit.
My best friend spent the next 20 years in his wheelchair, but 6 months before his death, he also accepted the Lord and was baptized. God is good!!! My wife and I have continued to answer God's Call and serve Him with all our hearts, We love you Jesus!!!!!
