10 Healing Testimonies

"The Lord proved them and said.... .... I am the Lord that healeth thee." Exo. 15: 26.
It is nine years since I was converted. Before that I could not go two days without medicine; nearly all my money went in doctor's bills, but I have not touched medicines since. If I feel ill I just take it to the Lord in prayer and get wonderful deliverance. In His grace God gave me spiritual eyesight and I saw in a vision two bleeding feet, they had nail prints in them, so I knew they were the feet of my Lord.
When God was baptizing me in His Holy Spirit He gave me a vision of Jesus standing beside an empty tomb. The lid of the tomb was thrown open.
I praise Him for all He has done for me. God keeps me!

"These signs shall follow them that believe—In My Name they shall cast out demons." Mark 16: 17 (R. V. Margin).
To the glory of God I testify that while praying for an evil spirit to come out of my boy Cyril the spirit came and stood before me. Next night while praying for an evil spirit to come out of little Maisie I just saw the form of the spirit.
Another night while praying, I distinctly saw an evil spirit as an old man glaring at me. He was without hair, and his eyes ware deeply sunken in his head.
When ill with influenza I wired to Good News Hall for an elder to come and anoint. I got great victory at the anointing, feeling much better at once, but the irritating cough remained. A few hours later the elder rebuked the cough in the Name of the Lord and I saw five or six evil spirits in front of me, they had come out of my mouth, and their bodies were oblong or egg-shaped and of a bluish colour they seemed to be nearly all stomach, but had many wriggling legs. On the bed at my side was a terrible boa-constrictor, he had no head and couldn't move his body, but his tail flapped angrily up and down. I am so glad that all Satan can do is to be angry with us. His head is crushed.

[This statement concerning evil spirits may seem strange to Western ears, but to the dwellers in tho East is nothing new. Whether we have realized it or not, there are Gods many and Lords many. (1 Cor. 8: 5.) The demi gods of Heathen mythology are not "myths" but actual beings half god—half man, the impious offspring of the sons of God. (Gen, 6:4 R. V.)
Whether the Heathen worship at the shrine of stone, beast or reptile, these are only symbols, standing for a life behind. No beloved friend, Baal (1 Kings 22: 53), Tammuz (Eze. 8: 14), Ashtaroth (1 Kings 11: 33) and Diana (Acts 19: 34) are not myths—God's witnesses amongst the heathen to-day are wrestling with wicked spirits in the heavenlies, the world rulers of this darkness, but through all the bitter conflict Jesus IS Conqueror.
[15] "The African natives cut deep gashes in the bodies of their sick and then apply the hollow horn of a goat, and through suction think to draw out the evil spirit: or they got hot irons and puncture the flesh to make a way for the spirit to get out. Or they try to starve him out—or scare him away by making a deafening noise night and day, shaking iron rattles, boating drums, &c.
Praise God for the remedy He gives us to take to these poor heathen "The Name of Jesus." Jesus commanded the unclean spirits and they cams out of the man. "In My Name they shall cast out demons." I give you authority over all tho power of tho enemy. The disciples returned with joy saying "Mister even the demons are subject unto us." Shall we not praise God continually for the power that has come to us through the shedding of the precious blood of His dear Son." - EDITOR.
"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." 1 COR. 15:26.
My eldest son was in the hospital vary ill with bronchial pneumonia and fever. I sent a request for prayer to Good News Hall. At the time prayer was offered he was made instantly whole.

You remember praying for my grand daughter little Ruby Lewis, who had post nasal growth. She is quite delivered.

" I will come and heal him." MATT. 8: 7.
For over two years I had hernia, but the Lord has healed me perfectly and I can knock about today as well as ever I could.

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." PSALM 147: 3.
I was ill and worried and my head was very bad. I felt I could not gather strength to go to the Hall for anointing. A friend said "You cannot possibly go, you are too ill.'' However I was driven there, and as hands were laid on my head after anointing it felt as though menthol was being rubbed in. The weight on my heart lifted, the pain left me, and I have had no worry since, but in its place calm, rest, and peace.
