Praise Reports
Summer 1999
Dear CHM:
Thank you so much for your prayers for my niece's husband, Andrew. They are a young couple with a four year old son. Andrew recently became ill with leukemia in a very acute, virulent form. We were very concerned. But Hallelujah! I just heard that the last tests show he is free from all cancer. We are rejoicing and thanking God for the wonderful answer to our prayers. All of you who stood in the gap with us were a part of this overcoming victory. Thank you so much. I am so thankful to be able to call you when we are in crisis. All of you are a blessing!
Love in Jesus,
Ann in Jacksonville
I've never shared with you God's beautiful inner healing that took place at CHM when I was there for a School of Healing Prayer course over a year ago. Between giving birth to our first and second children, we had five miscarriages in five–and–a–half years. And then another miscarriage following our second child's birth and just after the adoption of our third child. We lost six little ones in six–and–a–half years. Back then, 30 years ago, you just braved it out and grieved privately. I was gloriously familiar with physical healing but only intellectually with inner healing. I didn't understand it at all until it happened to me with such power and gentleness.
Norma was leading us in prayer and asked us to ask the Lord to bring to mind a happy memory, and then a sad or difficult memory. And that's when it happened.
As I sat in your meeting room with head bowed, Jesus gave me a beautiful vision. He showed me six bassinets lined up in a row. Three were blue, and three were pink. Then, as I watched, He gently picked up each baby one by one from their bassinets and took them to Himself. It was so beautiful. I even know their names! And a peace which passeth all understanding came upon me.
Jesus is my Healer. He has restored my body, mind and spirit with such love and such joy! Thanks be to Him!
And thanks be to you, my dear, dear friends.
Love,
Barbara in Delaware
Dear CHM:
I want to praise God and thank you for the Day of Healing Prayer on March 29. I received a deep inner healing that day. I have been floating on air ever since.
I have had many emotional and psychological problems for most of my life, suffering from clinical depression and anxiety. I have been under the care of a psychiatrist since the 1980s. Over the years, my problems have gradually improved.
I have been a Christian since age 12, and although I love God, I have felt distant from Him at times for reasons I could not explain. At my last visit to CHM, I realized for the first time why I felt this way: I never experienced the love of my earthly father. Perhaps my father loved me, but I was not able to receive his love, or perhaps my earthly father was emotionally distant. This created a distance between myself and God since our view of the heavenly Father is often shaped by the image of our earthly father.
When I received prayer at Day of Healing Prayer, I experienced the Father's love for the first time. I feel the Father's love immensely. I am also at peace. I don't feel anxious or depressed, and I am less afraid of people.
Later in the day, when I experienced the Eucharist for the Healing of Generations, I felt a break with my harmful generational ties. This also left me feeling at peace.
Thank you for taking the time to pray with me and others. God is using your ministry in a mighty way.
For His sake,
Cathy in Kentucky
