Wednesday night at our Dwelling Place healing time, I responded to a word of knowledge about gastro-intestinal sickness. I've had problems in this area for about three years now, and it is both annoying and often uncomfortable. I've had to regulate my diet because of it and regularly take medicine. The people around me began praying for me, and I began to feel lots of heat as one of the girls had her hand on my stomach. As far as I have been able to tell, my stomach was healed!  Wednesday night at our Dwelling Place healing time, I responded to a word of knowledge about gastro-intestinal sickness.

When Caleb had a word about healing, I went up to get prayed for. I've had extreme pain in my right hand for the past year. We weren't sure if it was the beginnings of arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. It was getting hard to even open a water bottle! Every time I picked up my kids it ached...when I did simple things like pouring milk, or even carrying a cup of coffee. I couldn't grip the steering wheel either...anyways, not anymore! It's been almost two weeks now, and it hasn't hurt a bit. Praise Jesus!! I'm in awe of the powerful God we serve, and i'm so thankful to walk with a body that believes in the power of His Holy Spirit. Becky  2/25/07

Taylor came to church Sunday with his brother JL.  He had recently jammed his thumb and was still experiencing pain and an inability to fully move and bend it. When the ministry time started, Taylor and JL prayed awkwardly for one another and sat down to continue singing.  JL waited for a few minutes and built up the courage to ask Taylor how his thumb felt.  Taylor started to shrug his shoulders but tested his thumb out by bending it.  JL said Taylor's face went white as he looked down at his thumb which had been completely healed.  Taylor just kept moving it back and forth without saying anything, totally astonished.  They ended up praising God together. This was momentous for Taylor who was blown away that the God of the universe would be concerned about a jammed thumb and step into his world so dramatically.  Go God! Mick 2/25/07

We prayed with one lady whose back and right leg had been hurting. She had been on medication for both and after we prayed the pain significantly decreased. With tears in her eyes she was so grateful!!! Allison 2/25/07

I prayed with a young girl for healing of a fever she has had now for a while. As I was praying I just felt impressed to pray for her eyes. I saw a liquid balm being poured over her eyes and that Jesus wanted to touch her eyes. Afterwards I asked the girl how she was feeling and with tears flowing down her cheeks she said that she felt better and that she had needed to go to the eye doctor because it had felt like contact or something had been stuck in her eye and was causing great pain. After praying there was no pain and no need for the doctor. Allison 2/25/07

I broke a rib in a car accident and had a big knot in that spot.  I was prayed for on Sunday, but wasn't really in much pain at that time (it comes and goes), so I didn't really think much of it at that point. A little bit later I was worshiping again and put my hand on that spot and realized that the knot was gone. I was really excited and told my husband to feel the spot...he did.  I still have some pain, but nothing like before, and the huge knot is completely gone!  Praise GOD!  I can play with and hold my kids so much easier.

In '99, Brian (my husband) had five herniated disks in his back and had to have back surgery.  In 2003, he was in a car accident and herniated a sixth disk.  Since then, he has been in almost constant excruciating pain, especially at work. He couldn't do any kind of physical labor without pain and can hardly sleep at night.  Myself and another lady laid our hands on the spot that hurts him the most and prayed for him on Sunday. He has had only very minor discomfort since. He has been going crazy since, cutting down tress is our back yard, hauling wood, doing yard work, and all the other things he wanted to do before but couldn't because of the pain.  He said "look, I can bend over and touch my toes!"

My ears had been real clogged for like three days and it was hard to hear. On Sunday, I went up and got prayed for. Someone was praying for me and laid hands on my ears but nothing was happening. So, she kept praying and still nothing happened. So, I went to the back of the church and kept praying and even laid my own hands on my ears. Finally, I was in my car still praying knowing that God could heal. While I was driving I heard this ringing, and I looked for my phone but realized that my phone doesn't make that kind of noise. I could hear the music a lot better. It showed me that God doesn't just heal in the "church" He can heal anywhere and he healed me in my car. Praise Jesus!--anonymous

Tracy had not been to Antioch in about two years, and she was excited to come and visit and to see her friend get baptized.  She has breast cancer, and we gathered around her to pray.  Interestingly, when I laid my hand on Tracy, the left side of my lower back started hurting.  We prayed for God to heal the cancer, and then I asked Tracy if she also had back pain, and she said yes.  I asked her if it was in her lower back on her left side, and she said yes.  She said that she had a cracked vertebrae, the second vertebrae from the bottom, and that she had severe pain.  I told her that since my back had started to hurt when I laid hands on her, I believed that the Lord wanted to heal her back.  She was eager to receive prayer.  We prayed for her back for several minutes and asked how she was doing, and she said that she was still in pain and that nothing had changed. 

I confirmed that she had given her whole heart to Jesus. She earnestly said that she had.  We prayed more, and I felt God speak that we needed to repent as a group for not submitting to authority.  If we are insisting that demons submit to the authority of Jesus, then we need to be submitted to Him as well.  I repented on behalf of all of these women (and myself!) for a lack of submission to God, to husbands, to pastors, and other men in authority.  We all knelt down together.  Something broke.  Tracy started crying and smiling, and she said the pain was completely gone. 

I clarified to see if it was "mostly gone" to see if we needed to pray more, and she said, "No- it is COMPLETELY gone!"  I asked her, "What is something that you couldn't do before because of the pain?" and she replied, "Reach down and touch my toes."  We encouraged her to get up and do it, and she did, with a very giddy look on her face.  She immediately wanted to testify- she was so excited.  She went up to the stage and was able to share on the microphone. It was awesome! Christi 2/25/07
