The Triumphant Churchsick by unknowingly opening the door to the devil. It
was during World War II, and she had begun to worry
because some of her kinfolk were in those countries
where Hitler dominated.
Dr. Yeomans said that the worry over her kinfolk
began to bear on her mind, and worry and fear opened
the door to the enemy. Finally, she became desperately
ill. She ran a high fever, lost all her hair, and was at
death's door. She said she repented and asked God to
forgive her for worrying. She said, "God not only

a full head of solid black hair!"
Dr. Yeomans became sick by opening a door to the

In Dr. Yeomans' case, she'd walked in what she
called "divine health" for more than forty years and had
never been sick. Dr. Yeomans was a strong Christian

an account of a Spirit-filled minister who became
obsessed in her thinking with worry and fear, until she
