    The Undeserved Reward

    After my healing, which happened from about January, 2002 to June, 2007 I felt very grateful to the Lord. Also, I felt that I was supposed to pray for, or lay hands on the very sick and the dying, so that some could be healed, just as others had prayed for me when I was dying. I believed I was...

    The Prophecy

    After my near death several years ago I could sometimes feel that I had to give people a message in the Lord. I am not a big talker and only slowly got into this. I had to be shown that it would help people and not hurt them or myself. It was 2004, I believe, and my wife and I were on vacation...

    Living and Dying

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but I decided to try it here. It conerns the time when my late mother learned that she had advanced cancer. She was misdiagnosed by her doctor in 2004 and learned months later, and too late, that she had cancer and not an infection. I prayed for her like...

    Minor Miracles

    When do we pray for the wonderful Lord's help or healing? Well, when our spouse is diagnosed with a virulent cancer, or when we are lost driving our car in a blizzard in the high country of Alaska at midnight, and so forth. Right? Well, are we not told in the scriptures to pray in all...

    The Prayer

    It was early 2002, and I had just suffered a terrible cerebral bleed, an inherited illness that made my doctor tell my family that I was expected to die soon or be what I call brain dead. At first I had no worries, though, and I was not in pain, ignorance is bliss. My very old parents had their...

    Aunt Gets Healed

    It was many years ago, and my aunt, who I will call Susan here, had just been diagnosed with a virulent form of cancer. She would have been about 43 yrs. old then, and she had a husband and a couple children, my cousins who I liked and still like. The doctors did not have the chemotherapy that...

    How my Dad got Saved

    My mom was always a strong Christian and for many years a sunday school teacher, while my Dad would go to church when we went, but that was about all he ever did. Mom prayed for him like crazy, but the years went by quickly. Soon Dad was in his late 50's. I was a son who followed my mom in...

    The Civil War General

    I read an article some time ago about the faith of one of the leading generals in the American Civil War. Who knows his name here? This is what the General had to say about faith. I will paraphrase here: What advantage, in the future, does a man of no faith have over a man of faith, if the man...

    The Near Death Experience

    In 2002 I collapsed to the floor, just home after work, while warming up dinner. I didn't know the cause, but I thought I was dying, and I was close to being right. It was later learned that I had suffered a cerebral bleed from a type of AVM, a type of inherited cerebral birth defect. My...

    The night message

    This was the strangest thing that I suppose ever happened to me. I call it the "smoking gun". It happened in 2007 in August. It concerns a relative of ours, will call her Susan here, that lived some ways off from us and we had only met her once or twice in our lives, but she was closer to our...

    The old Picture

    We have a couple booths at an antique mall and recently we were at an auction in Pennsylvania when I saw 3-4 old framed religious sayings. I felt drawn to one colored drawing of the saying with a bird drawn in it. The dove may have been added to represent the Holy Spirit. It was framed in a...

    The Angel

    It was 2004 and my wife and I were in Albany, NY to see a Christian speaking program. The Friday night program was, as I remember, on the workings of the Holy Spirit. We couldn't get good seats up front so we sat on the auditorium seats which were above and to the right side of the speaker's...

    My friend Paul*

    Paul and I were friends, even though our ages were far apart and we really had little in common. What we did have in common was one horrible disease that seemed determined to kill both of us and failing at that to ruin what was left of our lives. We each suffered from a cerebral bleed caused by...

    I was sitting in the church, outside of the sanctuary, and it was my first visit to this particular church. My wife was inside one of the rooms attending a meeting and I was waiting for her. I was thinking of my prayed for healing several years before that and I was feeling like thanking God...

    Cancer?

    In 2003 I was tested for cancer in the digestive tract. My wife and I prayed for healing and when I was tested they could find no cancer and told me I was fine for at least the next ten years for that type of cancer. When we left the building...I was saying under my breath "Thank you, Jesus."...

    Our Oldest Child

    She was a difficult child and when she became a teenager in high school she seemed to get much worse. I remember one day, when she was a senior, we were all up and getting ready for work and school and there was something about her backpack sitting there in the entry hall. The Lord must have...
