Healing of Knees
For many months, I had been finding it getting harder to kneel and bend my knees. I would often comment "creak, creak, creak" as I rose ffom a kneeling position and say, "My body doesn’t bend like it used to."
Then at the Sunday evening service on August 1st 2011, pastor Mike showed some DVD clips from healing services around the world. Pastor Suela asked who would like a time of prayer for healing instead of ending the service. We all agreed. She mentioned arthritis as one of the possible things for which we could pray for healing from.
So I went forward. Pastor Mike laid his hand on my right knee, while he and others prayed. I felt both my knees becoming hot, and next day I noticed that I was able to bend and kneel much more comfortably!
All glory is due to God our Father, His Son Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Thanks also to pastors Mike and Suela Brown, and others who prayed.

The LORD gives us the power to get well
Earlier this year, I was taken into hospital and diagnosed with AF (atrial fibrillation) and told that it could be a serious condition. My church family prayed for me during this time. I recovered quickly and was allowed home. An outpatient’s appointment was made for me to see a consultant heart specialist. After seeing him and having further tests, he asked me how I had been. "Fine!" was my reply. He said he had studied my results and figures and felt that I had no need to see him again, also giving me a discharge form which I was pleased to receive. Of course, I thanked him, but my heart belongs to my Lord and I know that it is his loving care over me that had brought me back to health. I give him all the glory.

My Testimony of Healing
I had suffered with my back off and on from working in a nursing home and hospital. I had got used to suffering with backache and sciatica. I would do the usual things, see my GP and ask for prayer. Until 2009. The pain became stronger, I was finding it difficult to bend and get dressed, to the point where I had to ask my husband Steve to help me. Back again to my GP, this time to attend physio. Each time I went I didn’t feel better, in fact I felt worse. To stand straight was very painful and I used to count to get myself up. I still continued with prayer, believing I would be healed. In September 2009, we went on holiday to Rhodes, where I took a fall and ended up with my leg in plaster and no crutches until the following day. So I had to hop. I didn’t know what hurt most, my back or my knee. By this time I was relying on Steve more and more. On returning from holiday, I asked my GP for a scan on my back, which showed I had arthritis in two places in my spine. The pain was intense and my GP referred me to a pain clinic.
On a Tuesday evening, we were going to have a prayer meeting for healing, believing God to move powerfully. We were praying for a lady when I could feel myself being bent over, but not in pain, bending to a degree I couldn’t have managed before. I did go down in the Spirit and I knew God was healing my back. I did attend pain clinic to explain. The doctor said I should proceed with the injection as I had waited a long time. Did I need the injection? No. God had already done the work. Amen!
