Page 157A patient of mine told me that God would not let that happen, almost had
to drag me into my own office, began to pray and I was beginning to get
upset at her audacity, almost to the point of anger... Suddenly, I felt 10,000
degrees of sweet heat start at the top of my head and fill my body...instantly,
not 5 minutes or an hour, but instantly I got a new arm, no swelling, no
discoloration, no pain...This event was the impetus for my praying for all of my patients before
treatment begins. I do it with them, asking God for Wisdom, and asking his
Holy Spirit to do those things that I can not do as a man. Sometimes the
anointing is so strong that it is obvious that the Spirit of God is present.I thank Him constantly for hitting me over the head and waking up this
Christian who didn’t believe that God is in the healing business today. I thought
that it all stopped with the apostles.REFERENCES:
