Verified Miracle Testimonies . . . Heart Valve, Chronic Depression, and Fibromyalgia Healed in Jesus’ Name
Awesome Testimonies! Clicking on the photo takes you to the video footage.
In more than 15 years of serving the Lord, my team and I have witnessed hundreds of men and women testify of total freedom from chronic physical conditions.
At an annual event held each October in Southern Oregon, Glorious Rising, several people shared their testimonies of a wonderful gift that the Lord gave to them — the gift of being instantly healed of chronic illness.
The short video showing their testimonies is here to encourage you. What you will see and hear in the video are several women and one gentleman who were healed one or more years ago during prayer.
It’s not the prayer that healed them, nor is it the person who prayed, but it is in the Name of Jesus that they were each healed. To Him belongs all the praise and thanks.

Woman Healed of Osteo-arthritis and Chronic Pain…Then Her Husband Gets a Surprise
January 30, 1983, I spun on black ice and hit a tree. That left me with 7 compressed vertebrae’s which left me in a lot of pain. So I’m told I also have osteoporosis, scoliosis, osteo-arthritis and a rotor cup problem. I have had a lot of pain for 20 years.I went to the conference in Klamath Falls and I was healed of all pain and I have my zest for life and I am more joyful than I have been for years. I no-longer need pain pills to ease the pain. I give all glory and praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as He is my healer.
When I got home, I talked my husband’s ear off and he started to feel bad and said, “I want what you have; being so happy and full of energy and pain free.” Well, he got his last weekend. The Lord healed his broken heart and took pain he had from a lung surgery 22 years before. He is healing from a broken femur surgery 9 months ago where he had a 21” rod put in . Most of that pain is gone also.
This is truly a gift from our Lord because He loves us all. We just need to ask and be able to say “yes” and believe and receive. Thank you Lord Jesus, Ruth, Alturas, California

Miracles ~ Jesus Healed Severe Hearing Loss
Smith Wigglesworth, an evangelist during the late 1800’s – 1942, praying for a woman.
Lance Richardson’s Hearing Restored in Jesus’ Name.
Many know that my husband Lance has had trouble hearing in both ears, but especially in his right ear. Because of ear infections as a child and operating heavy machinery through the years, Lance was almost deaf in his right ear and very hard of hearing in the other.
Our precious friend and sister in Christ, Pamela Koefoed was ministering in our church, and after she preached a powerful message on healing, she called for those with hearing difficulty to come forward.
As Pamela was saying, “The Lord wants to heal hearing today,” Lance’s ears began to pop and he left his seat and headed for the front. Pamela placed her hands on Lance’s ears and began to pray. The look on his face was priceless. As he turned around, big smile, hands clutching the side of his head and eyes wide, Lance announced that he could hear!
When we got home, he picked up the phone to call our son Brandon and put the phone to his right ear. “I haven’t been able to hold the receiver to this ear for a long time,” Lance said. “I just can’t believe this.”
We continue to give God praise for Lance’s healing and that He loves us so much and desires us to be physically whole. Isn’t God wonderful!?!

The Most Important Part of the Day
Every time I’ve set aside early morning time to seek the Lord, I belly flop. My eyes become heavy with sleep, my mind wanders, and my heart feels guilty for not being more holy like the rest of everyone who knows anything about being a Christian.
No fewer than a dozen times over the years, I’ve heard preachers and teachers of the Word say that we prioritize our lives based upon whatever is most important to us. They say that if Jesus is number 1, then this will be evident by how we begin every day. He should be first in the morning before we do anything else, they add, because the Bible tells us so.
Somehow the Priority Principle has never jelled in my mold. I want it to. My morning routine involves prayer, but I wait until later in the day for that deeper experience with Jesus that I’ve grown to cherish.
In my world, most everyday is filled with unending tasks and responsibilities—Believe me! Sometimes the “to do” list is incomprehensible. In addition to work and the ministry, there are always household chores, and friendship and family ties that keep me on my toes.
Such a busy life! I’m chasing after my shadow as I try to catch up with myself.
Think with me for a second; Is Jesus less important to me than He is to you if you begin your morning with your personal devotion time, but I postpone that aspect of my walk with Jesus until after I’ve tackled a project that weighs on my mind?
You see, not only do I become very sleepy while in early morning prayer, but the way I’m wired may be different than the way you’re wired. Until I clear my schedule of urgent matters—a report, for instance, that must be delivered today to my local judge and to all of the legal parties to a particular court case—it’s almost impossible for me to focus my entire heart on the Lord. But once I complete the projects for which others depend upon me, I’m more able to enter into “The Secret Place” of His Presence.
Keeping Jesus a priority takes a little doing in a busy life, but I can’t imagine a day without being with Him. In fact, right now as I share this with you, my heart is stirred with desire for Him. So, I’ll sign off now and hurry to complete that court report responsibility, and then I’ll have an entire afternoon to be with the Lord.
Jesus is without question my priority, and I hope He is number 1 in your life, too.
Keep going after God.

I Started a Riot in England
Something I said started a riot. The melee left me dumbfounded. Men and women picked up wooden chairs and hurled them across the aisles at one another. The conflict left me numb, as if an injection of strong Novocain had been administered to my brain. After all, this was a house of worship in England, a church, a place to meet with God. It wasn’t a fighting rink.
How answering one simple question could come to this…well, I just couldn’t figure it out. Really, I hadn’t meant to push an (obviously) over-sensitive nerve. I was there to bless these people, to serve the Lord and them through the ministry of the Word and the power of His Holy Spirit, not to start World War III.
The interior of the old church—with its weathered, grey timbers across walls and ceiling, and rows of wooden benches filling the first half of the sanctuary, followed by rows of wooden chairs in neatly arrange rows clear to the back wall—had left me with the sense of being in a worship house with spiritual and historical value. It couldn’t have been any less than a hundred-years-old.
Perhaps you wonder how this riot began? It all started when I answered a British man’s straight-forward question. “Aren’t you charging for the meetings?” he asked me in front of the entire congregation. “No. I wouldn’t charge a fee for Christian meetings or conferences,” I answered.
This was a dream, thankfully. Something like this wouldn’t actually happen. So, breathe deeply; everything’s well.
While in that state of deep sleep, where messages sometimes come to us from the Lord, I watched with disbelief at the congregation’s reaction to my personal conviction. Half of those present agreed with my sentiments and the other half disagreed.
A fight erupted. Everyone stood and exchanged angry words. Yelling grew to shoves. Then a man hurled a wooden chair at his fellow believer, standing two rows across from him. Someone else lifted a chair high over head and lugged it at his “brother.” In a flash, the air filled with flying chairs, as one enraged person launched the wooden weapon against another.
My friend Phil looked over at me with his eyes large and unbelieving. “Sista, we’ve gotta take it on the road,” he said. (Which in his lingo means, let’s get out of here.) “I know someone in Salisbury. I’ll take you to Salisbury.”
Dream End.
What’s the source of this dream? In the Bible, we’re shown through numerous examples and taught through Scripture that sometimes God speaks to us in dreams. I believe that the Riot Dream is from Him. If it is, then we need to ask, what is He saying?
This is one of those rare times when I’m not doing all of the writing. I have my own ideas about what the dream means. But I’m not providing the answer, because I want to hear from you. This is your opportunity to chime in with your perspective or dream interpretation. Go for it.
Let’s talk.

“North Korea Warns U.S. of Final Disastrous Doom.” This is not the headline I had wanted to see in today’s news. As I glanced over the article carried by ABC, CBS, Yahoo News, and the main media channels, I shook my head. I’m perplexed. Help me if you can. Why does Kim Jon Un feel so threatened by the U.S.?
For goodness sakes! We don’t want to drop bombs on North Korea. Our government wanted to resolve some serious issues through dialect, not with murder.
Kim Jon Un’s threats against the U.S. always seem like rants to me. Usually, I disregard most of what he says, but not this time. As I read brief excerpts from his hate speech, in addition to feeling bewildered, I began thinking about how I would respond to him as a human being, not as an angry dictator, not as an aggressor, but as a human being–someone for whom Jesus died.
I want to see North Korea’s dictator experience the transforming power of God’s love. There are many individuals who feel as do I. For instance, an organization in South Korea often releases into North Korea helium balloons carrying the Good News.
Some of the balloons have been intercepted by the communist military, but others have not. Could it be that Kim Jon Un has a copy of one of the New Testaments?
I can’t help but wonder if he has a copy and if he has opened the cover and read the Living Word.
Please join me in praying for North Korea, for the transformation of North Korea’s dictator, and for the well-being of his people. And if you understand why Kim Jon Un reacts to the United States with angry death threats, could you please enlighten me?
Only God can change a heart.

When Walking Becomes Total Body Resistance Training
Picture in the public domain.
Vern and I speed walked and jogged this evening before sunset. At the end of the pavement, where our road becomes gravel, we turned for the mile walk home and within seconds a strong head wind transformed our activity into something more like total body resistance training. The more I stick to my exercise commitment, the more I admire those of you who’ve been doing this for years. This get your body movin’ movin’ movin’ thing is tough. Especially since it’s not in my DNA to enjoy a consistent routine over a length of time.
“…but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope”–Romans 5:4
Although the apostle Paul was writing about persecution, the Romans 5:4 principle can apply to lots of things, such as working out several days a week, eating healthy, and other mundane or difficult tasks that we faithfully do in order to be well body, soul, and spirit. For me, staying on an exercise routine takes a great deal of perseverance. Sometimes, I’m an unwilling participate who needs encouragement to get moving. For instance, tonight Vern practically dragged me away from my comfortable seat in front of the warm and cozy fire to join him on a walk. Boy! It’s amazing how fast attitudes can change. As soon as we neared the first mile, I was grateful for his cheerful enthusiasm and that he had prodded me to join him. Why did my silent grumbling change to appreciation at the mile marker? Because I had hope of completing the two-mile walk. Perseverance builds character, and character builds hope. In the original language of the Bible, hope is defined as a confident expectation. Hope is a powerful tool to keep you moving forward in your commitment to complete something that’s worthwhile. Including exercise in your week will require some perseverance. You’ll have days when you’d rather sit on the sofa with a good book than get up and follow along with an aerobics instructor for thirty minutes. Or walking for twenty minutes may seem like a real drag when the weather’s not ideal. But have hope, and stick to your commitment. Just as Vern prodded me to join him for a walk, this article is an encouragement from someone who cares about your health. Have hope. Expect good results. And get up and get going. Just like me, you’ll be glad you did. Wishing you wellness in every way, Pamela
