p.s. as I am working in our back pages, saving them to my computer, I ran across this:
 
From: joie  (Original Message) Sent: 5/5/2002 1:20 PM
                                                        
 
 
I do not claim the gift of healing;  but I have on a number of cases prayed for the sick and they were healed immediately.
 
Once a family who lived across from us--the daughter had a very sore throat; she was in great pain.  Her mother asked me to pray for her and she was healed at the instance I prayed.  That lady told this testimony as long as she lived.  She always said she had confidence in me because of this healing.
 
Once my throat was hurting me so bad I could not stand it.  My husband prayed for me and the pain left at that instance.
 
In the early 70s  I had swimmy head so badly I could not drive; wash my hair, or even lift me head to get dishes out of the cabnet.  To lay down was just too sickening to describe.  I went to several doctors; they could not help me.
 
Then at one of our home prayer meetings I asked them to anoint me with oil and pray for me;  I was healed instantly.  Praise my great God.
 
A short while ago, a friend of ours asked me why we do not have healings now.  I said, well I have healings a lot.  He wanted to know about this.  I said well you are one of them.  This amazed him.  I told him how when he was a small child, I went to see his mother one night.  She was sitting there holding him in her lap.  He was too sick to hold his head up;  burning up with fever.  I asked her,  What is wrong with ----.  She said he is very sick; has been this way all day.
 
I felt faith rise up and God said to me  pray for him.  I said let me pray for him.  I did.  Then she and I began to talk;  in a little while I realized he was no longer in her lap;  I had not even noticed when he got down.  I asked  where is ---?  She smiled and pointed across the room; there he was playing with his brothers;  of whom one was Wanna's husband.  [later, or course].
 
The healing was instant.  But still I do not claim to have that gift.  I do not know if I have it or that was just doing as the Word said,  the believers shall do these things.
 
There are other instances too; but I will not tell them now.  When and If God sees fit to heal these others,  He will do it in His own way and time.  If not, then she will have given great testimony to the great Love of God even in great sickness.
 
Praise His Holy Name.
 
Jo

and this:
 
From: joie Sent: 5/5/2002 6:54 PM

Once, when my oldest daughter, Becky was a young child, she had a very bad sore throat and swollen glands. She had a lot of trouble with this growing up. This time, it was very, very painful.

She was crying in pain; so we decided to take her to the hospital. On the way we were all speaking of this as not being the way we believed in healing. She was very young; yet she believed more in prayer. So we mentioned a family in our church which we had confidence in. [ it was night].

My husband decided to let Becky make the decision of what she wished to do. She said she would rather go back and let them pray for her.

So, that is what we did. We went to their home and asked for prayer; telling them that it was Becky’s faith; this was her choice above the hospital.

Well, they prayed for her and her throat was healed without the help of doctors and medicines.

Again, I offer thank you to my loving God who answered this child’s faith. By a child is perfected praise.

Jo

When we were young parents, a friend of mine had her first child, a boy. He had a very ugly, big birthmark on the back of his neck. It stuck way up and big around. This just made her sick to see him with this thing.

So she asked for prayer for him at ever meeting where someone was praying for the sick. It seemed it was hopeless for a good while. But she just kept on asking prayer for him. Then one day she said to me, I want to show you what God has done. She called the child to come and showed me his neck. The ugly thing was GONE.

Praise our God. Her persistently calling for prayer and not giving up in unbelief brought the healing from God.

People, don’t give up. Sometimes God test our faith by making us wait. But he is faithful to answer our prayers.

Jo

I also want to get in on this. I have saw God perform some great miracles also. But one that really stands out in my mind happened in Gainesville, GA. My sister-in-law's father  was in the hospital in Gainesville. They called us and told us about this and we went right up to be with the family and tried to comfort them some. When we arrived the family was in the waiting room and we sat down and talked them a little bit. As we were talking to them the doctor came out and told them that there had done all they could do. They told them that all his vital signs had dropped so low and that it was no possible way that he could live.

At this time the family began to make funeral arrangements for this man. They were doing what they thought they had to do because this was a family that has never known God. But as I was sitting there I thought to myself God these people are not even giving you a chance. I probably would have done the same thing if I had not known God. But I knew that I had to leave and that I had to get out that room.

My wife also knew something was going on  because she had felt the same spirit that I had. As we began to leave the room my brother said to me and my wife I will walk with you down to the lobby. His two sons also that was with him said we will walk with you to. We got on the elevator and as we started down to the first floor the spirit of the Lord came on me in the elevator and the others with me began to feel the power of the Holy Ghost to. As to spirit of God began to flow in that elevator and the spirit began to speak to me. It began to tell me if we left the hospital without prayer that man was going to die.

As I began to tell the others what God was speaking to me I asked if there was somewhere in that hospital that we could get alone and pray. My brother told me that they had a place in the lobby for this purpose. So we left the elevator and went there. As we entered that room God was already there. As we opened the door the spirit of the Lord had already filled that place. We began to fall on our knees and cry out to God for this man not realizing that the great miracle we were about to experience.

When we were through praying my wife and myself left telling them that if there was any changes to be sure and let us know. We left and went by brother’s house to get some things that we had left there. it was about a 15 minute drive from the hospital to my brother’s house. When we arrived we received a phone call from my brother and they told us that this man’s blood pressure and vital signs were going back up and that the Dr’s could not understand why, but we knew.

We left and came home that night. The next morning my brother called and told us that this man was sitting up in the bed and was wanting something to eat. But what is so amazing about this is that it has been 10 years since that happened and the man is still living today. As far as I know this man has never given God any Glory that’s what’s so sad. After he came home from the hospital I went and talked to him and tried to explain to him what God had done. He said he knew but as for as I know that is the only time that he confessed that God had done something in his life.

The amazing thing about this testimony that this man has outlived, a son, a daughter, and a wife, that were expecting to bury him. I know for certain if we had left than hospital that man would be dead today. Because I know that we heard the voice of God and he said if you leave this hospital without praying this man his going to die. It was nothing that we done we obeyed what God said to. He said to pray and that is what we did. I honestly believe that it was through our prayers and our obedience to God that this man is alive today.Thank you very much for letting me share this testimony which you all. May the Lord Bless everyone of you.

    I was also a witness to this miracle that Joie has reffered to. I saw also the same ugly birthmark that the child had and I also saw that it was gone

 Acts 26:6.  And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
 7.  Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
 8.  Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>         <<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>

......now Jo stands and is judged for the hope of the promise of Jesus.......

In My name they shall cast out devils, heal the sick.  Raise the dead; freely you have received, freely give.

.......for which hope's sake, Build on the True Foundation, I am now accused of our members.

WHY SHOULD IT BE THOUGHT A THING INCREDIBLE WITH YOU, THAT GOD SHOULD RAISE THE DEAD?

Why am I being judged as some sort of nut, or arrogant person who thinks myself above learning?  I learn every day.  I love learning.  I look forward to seeing the dead raised FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

Why did Peter raise the dead?  Jesus had already gone up to Heaven?  Why did Paul raise the dead?  Why not me?  It is all for the glory of God.  I have not said one word about it changing any unbelievers.  It is for the sheep of God.  It is NOT FOR UNBELIEVERS.

Blessed are we who have not SEEN, and yet believe.  I have not seen it done, yet I believe.

I am looking forward to the day I can raise the dead according to the promise of Jesus that  THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THOSE THAT BELIEVE.

I BELIEVE.

JO

When Wanna, my daughter, was born, and for several more years, her eyes were badly crossed.  I had her prayed for, many times.  I prayed for her.  I took her to the best eye-doctor in our area.  He said an operation would only give her a 50/50 change of being any better.
 
So I refused this operation, rather, waiting on God.  I continued to pray for her eyes. By the time she started to school, her eyes were completely STRAIGHT.
 
It did not JUST happen. God did it!  To HIM be the glory and praise.
