Miraculous Healing

The other day I had a preacher come to my office and try to tell me that God does not perform miracles anymore. I don't know what god he worships, but my God does MIGHTY things! I am proud to say that I believe in a God that can do ALL THINGS! I worship the God that created this earth and put stars in the universe. I worship a God that is the Great Physician! It broke my heart - I pitied the disbelief in this man, but moreso, I cried for the unsaved and baby believers who will listen and possibly believe what he says.

I emailed Sue Smith, and asked her permission to post a powerful testimony of hers on this website. She granted me that permission, and much more.... Read this...

Hi, again! Yes, by all means put it out there and any others I mentioned. Did I ever tell you about my friend, Joyce Scarborough, who had a large cancerous mole on her foot and the doctor was going to take more than half of her foot off? She and Carolyn Giffen came over to my house to pray (this has been about 15 or 20 years ago)and we asked God to heal her. After praying, God gave me a word of knowledge that He had indeed healed her foot and that she and her husband were to go away by themselves and seek God for confirmation before allowing the surgery. They did, and God confirmed to them both that she was not to let the doctor do surgery without another biopsy. The doctor just about had a fit and did not want to do another test, but Joyce and Lamont insisted. The report came back negative and soon the entire black mole dried up and fell off!!!!!!!!! NO SURGERY!!!!

I know the paint story will blow people's minds, but I can't explain why God did it except He is just GOOD and had mercy on me!!!!! Then there's the story of Heather Kay's dog, Chaser, and God healing his back. Then there's the story about my granddaughter, Elizabeth, who hit her two front teeth 3 different times on hard surfaces when she was very small (around 3 years). Each time they began to turn dark and each time we prayed and believed God to restore the nerves that were damaged, and each time He did, and the color came back to white again and each time they tightened in their sockets again!!! God is just flat out GOOD and MERCIFUL, and that's all we can say about it.

Some people out there (even preachers) just can't handle miracles because not everyone gets one when they pray. Hey, that's not going to keep me from asking for one; at 63 years of age I've seen dozens and dozens of miracles and supernatural answers to prayers... for me to quit believing now---ha! Those who don't believe in God's supernatural ability to do miracles have a little god. The God you and I serve, Jesus and Jehovah Almighty the Father, is a great and powerful God. He is the ONLY GOD; all others just try to be. God sometimes heals gradually and sometime we get an instant miracle. He is in charge. We pray and believe and then leave the results to Him. Don't bother giving unbelievers like that preacher a book on demons as they don't believe in them either. I wonder who they think is behind all the evil. It is the fallen angel, himself, satan and his demons. And you're right, he has one working over time on him.....the spirit of unbelief. Poor man. If he ever needs a miracle, he'll be hard pressed to get one. Good hearing from you. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you near His loving and all wise heart. Luv, Sue

Amazing Testimony - A Dent Fixed, and New Paint Job by the Hand of God!!!

Autumn, it happened about 15 yrs. ago right after I had purchased a new red car. I drove up to the cleaners and wheeled in, but could tell I was just a tad over the white line on my right side. A thought came that I should straighten the car, but I didn't as there were several places on either side of me that someone could park in, and I was in a hurry. When I returned, a large pickup truck had purposely parked close to the right side of my car and slammed his huge door into mine, which dented the door and took a hunk of red paint off.

I was sick inside. Why hadn't I listened to what I deemed now was the Lord trying to help me out, as He knew what was about to happen. At that time, but not now as he has mellowed, my sweet husband would have made a federal case out of it, and I would have never heard the end of it. I went home, fell down on my face in my closet and cried out to God to forgive me for ignoring His voice and begged Him to please fix my car so I wouldn't have to go through the ordeal with my husband. After much weeping and prayer, I felt lead to go put my hands on the place and ask God to release His mighty power to smooth out the dent and repaint the door. I spoke to the metal molecules and commanded them in the name of Jesus to smooth out and did the same concerning the paint. I told God that I knew there was nothing He couldn't do and that I was believing Him for this great miracle. I did this for the next couple of days every time I would go into the garage.

On the third day, I went out to check, and it was fixed!!!!!!!!!!!! No dent and no scrape!!!!!!!!!! I got out my flashlight and checked.....No evidence of anything ever happening. I was ecstatic as you can well imagine, and I have told this story ever since to the great glory of God.

Since then I have nicked by car and prayed that He would do the same, but He hasn't. But now, my husband doesn't make a big deal of it like he did then. I know it was just His loving mercy and grace because of my repentant heart for having not listened to His voice, that He just wanted to bless me and not have me go through the ordeal with my husband.

Another testimony is that on three different occasions, my first granddaughter fell and hit her front teeth when she was around 2 to 2-1/2 years old , and they started to turn dark. My daughter, Suzanne, and I prayed and and believed God to heal the roots and each time He did. She is 22 years old now, has never had any problem with those teeth which are perfectly beautiful. I've seen many miracles during my life. There is nothing our Heavenly Father cannot do.

One time when our youngest daughter, Heather, was in college, she called crying that her dog, Chaser, her cocker spaniel was going to have to have spinal surgery--according to the vet. So I told her to lay her hands on his back and we would believe God to heal him------and He did. She took him back to the vet and his spine was just fine. He lived to be nearly 18 years old and never had a back problem again as he continued to jump on and off of everything like a puppy. The many miracles of God I've witnessed could fill a book. Tell you some more another time. Lovingly, Sue
