Two Backs Healed by the Power of God

Jeff had pain in his lower back for about a month. One Sunday after church, a group prayed for him calling on the name of Jesus. The next week he reported total freedom from pain and his back normal again! Heidi also received prayer for pain in her lower back. The next day it was normal again.

Ears and Eyes

Katie's ear was plugged and she was unable to hear clearly. After receiving prayer, her ear began to clear. After more prayer, God completely opened her ear and she could hear normally.

Virginia's eye was very red and irritated from a cold. She received prayer and the redness began to lighten up. Several days later, God has completely healed her eye and it feels normal again.

New Healing Reports from Recent Meetings

May 29th through June 1st saw some exciting healings by the hand of God. Sandy had suffered with pain from rheumatoid arthritis and in her kidneys. After prayer, the pain was gone. The next day she testified she had a full night’s rest (the first in a long time) and was still without pain.

Sarah was suffering from a number of problems as a result of several life threatening diseases and a bad car wreck years ago. At times she would be partially paralyzed and unable to get out of bed on her own. She also suffered from migraines, ringing in her ears, back pain and sensitivity to light. When she received prayer, she experienced the power of the Holy Spirit touch her body. She said she felt her back popping. Immediately she felt relief from her back pain, she was able to see better, the ringing in her ears stopped, the migraine stopped and she generally felt well for the first time in years. We are still awaiting the results from her blood test to see if some of her other conditions have been healed.

Young Abby had kidneys that were failing. She was scheduled for a transplant. As she was being prayed for, she felt heat and popping and movement. She believes she received a healing from God. We await the doctor’s report and are believing for a healing and a miracle!!

A first time visitor had foot problems for many years, the last episode having started 3 months ago. It was painful for her to walk. After responding to an invitation given by the speaker and walking up to the front of the room, her pain was completely gone. She was able to stomp her feet and jump without pain. The next day, she remained pain-free.

Sue’s neck was healed, the pain and stiffness gone.

Hans had pain from a scar as a result of a surgery on his lung. God healed him and all the pain is gone!

A urinary infection healed

In Spring 2004, Jim had a cardiac condition and a urinary tract infection. All previous attempts by the doctor at trying to heal the urinary tract infection had failed. At a home group meeting, Jim received prayer, the laying on of hands and Scriptures prayed over him. Sickness was rebuked and healing was commanded in the Name of Jesus. Healing occurred. The doctors confirmed the infection was gone. The heart status was measurably better. Praise God for this miracle!

A heart condition healed

In Spring 2004, Mary C's uncle had been diagnosed with a cardiac condition and was scheduled for surgery the next week. She brought him to a home group meeting where he received prayer and was anointed with oil. When he went in for the pre-procedure appointment, his heart was deemed to be fine and the procedure was cancelled. God had wonderfully touched him. Praise the Lord!

Lymphoma healed

In March 2003, Mary had been diagnosed with lymphoma. She received prayer, laying on of hands and anointing with oil on several occasions. Literally thousands of people around the world (praise God for email) prayed for her recovery. We were blessed when many people sent cards, flowers, donations, made visits and prayed, prayed, prayed. The request was that medical treatments of chemotherapy and radiation would be maximized in effectivenesss and minimized in side effects. Although it was a long period, over a few months and at times very scary and trying, God was faithful. She hand no intese sickness or vomiting!!! Her weight was maintained. Praise God!

The first scan following the treatments showed the cancer was gone but there was a malignant liquid called "plural effusion" in her lungs. After church, a number of leaders prayed for her with the laying on of hands and anointing with oil. Scriptures were proclaimed over her as well. Several days later, a new scan revealed no fluid in the lungs. The attending physican asked what we had done. He was surprised the lungs were clear! God is so faithful! Mary was wonderfully healed.

Prostate cancer gone

Ron informed the Lighthouse Church leadership he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was encouraged to receive prayer by Pastor Slater. During the Sunday morning service, the entire congregation prayed for his healing as Pastor Slater anointed him with oil and laid hands on him. The following Sunday Ron testified to the congregation. At his next doctor's visit, the doctor was baffled because they couldn't find any cancer and said he required no treatment. All praise be to God! (February 2003)

A growth disappears

A young sister had an agrevated and inflamed growth on her breast. After the service, several people prayed for her. The following Sunday, she testified the growth had drained and dissolved. Praise the Lord! 1996

A tumor disappears

I have been on a miraculous healing journey and would like to honor and acknowledge the congregation and the kind beautiful instruments of God at the Lighthouse in Santa Rosa, CA, for being part of the journey!

In late April 2006, I had an ultrasound along with a biopsy done at Santa Rosa's Women's Breast Center on what I assumed was just an infection or at the very most, a benign toumor. the tumor was about 3 cm wide and deeply imbedded in the soft tissue muscle of my right pectoralis muscle. it was extrememely painful! I was unable to make use of my complete right arm and hand! On June 10th I received the pathologist report stating I had a "desmoid tumor" which had the characteristics of an aggressive cancer called Fibromatosis.

On June 12th, I attended a meeting at the Lighthouse with David Hertzog ministering. I received prayer through the laying on of hands. I still remember their kind faces. The pain from the tumor was greatly reduced. I continued in prayer.

On June 22nd, I went to the Sonoma Valley Hospital with a friend who is an LVN. She demanded an ultrasound before the surgery. The same nurse who had performed the first ultrasound was called upon to do the second one. She was amazed at the reduction of size of the tumor and called the surgeon. The surgery was cancelled and I was asked to return to 2 months to keep a watch on it!

I give glory to God for my healing!

Even in the small things

Michelle - There was a time when I believed that some things were not worth wasting God’s time. God of course has occasionally shown me otherwise. A couple weeks ago I experienced one of those occasions. I was going on day three of being really sick, body aches, fever, sore throat, nausea, headache, the whole bit. Unfortunately, this third day was my son’s seventh birthday. When I woke I could hardly swallow. I went into the bathroom, turned on the light, looked in the mirror at my throat and found it to be extremely red, very swollen and covered in white spots. In my experience this was definitely strep throat. I showed my husbandand began to cry, saying, “I can’t be sick today. I have to bake a cake, throw a party and celebrate with Carsten.” My husband put his hand on my throat and began to pray. After he left for work I continued to pray, “God please, I know you hear me and I know you have the power. Just for today, please Lord get me through today. Let me feel better just for my son’s birthday.” About one half hour later I swallowed and realized it didn’t hurt so badly. I went back into the bathroom, turned on the light, looked at my throat and the white spots were gone! “Wow!” I thought “God is amazing.” I know I’m not alone in thinking that some things are to small or unimportant for God, but I’m here to testify God does not agree. He wants it all, the good, the bad, the big and small. Always take the time to lift it up to the Lord and have faith that he hears you and cares. His love is unfailing.

Leukemia gone!

Savanah was suffering from leukemia, yet was always a trooper as she went through the “chemo”and marrow transplant. She always radiated a positive attitude and even encouraged her mother Charity. After a few years going in and out of remission, with the doctors saying the marrow transplant was not working, Savanah began to tire and was starting to give up. It was at this time, in January, that Charity was encouraged to bring Savanah to the Lighthouse for prayer. When she did, Jesus healed Savanah. The doctors reported that all traces of Leukemia were gone from her body. Praise the Lord! (Testimony from Fall 2007 newsletter)

A Hand Healed

In the spring of 2000, I had been experiencing severe pain in my right hand. My company sent me to an orthopedic surgeon to examine my hand. He told me that the cartilage in my wrist had been severely worn down. 22 years in the machine trade had taken it's toll. At that moment I was 35% disabled. The doctor told me it would only continue to deteriorate. Surgery could help take away some of the pain but the cartilage would never grow back. I never got the surgery.

Over the years the hand got worse. The more I used it, the more the pain. I accepted this as my "thorn in the flesh". In February of 2006, Darrel Stott visited the Lighthouse. During a time of prayer, I stepped forward at the urging of Virginia. I joined hands with my son David and received prayer. I sensed nothing ... I felt nothing. I decided that the important thing was that I had submitted myself to the ministrations of God in obedience.

In the next few days, I had done a considerable amount of piano playing. This would usually have caused extensive pain in my right hand. Strangely enough, there was none! On Sunday, I acknowledged to the congregation what had happened. The only conclusion I could draw was that God had touched my hand, without sensation, without fanfare. He took away my pain! Thank you, Lord!

“To the Miracle Church”

Gail traveled all the way from Sunview Drive in Carson City, Nevada to the meetings at The Lighthouse with Todd Bentley and Fresh Fire Ministries. She arrived early in the week and was set for a blessed time in the Lord and with other believers for the series of meetings that were being held. Gail asked if she could stay on the church grounds and be allowed to sleep in her truck rather than attempt to secure lodging. After some thought Lighthouse agreed that she could stay in our parking lot. Gail was seen here and there amongst the 500+ people we saw every night for the meetings.

At the end of the week, early Sunday morning she was packing up her truck and cleaning up when she asked Pastor Kelly how to get to Hwy. 80 from Rincon Valley. Kelly gave directions and asked how the meetings had gone. Gail said she loved the meetings, but she did not get the healing she had hoped for, as she suffered with double carpel tunnel affecting both her hands. Kelly said after the Lighthouse service that morning prayer teams would pray for people and encouraged her to stay. Kelly also said that the prayer team would ask the Holy Spirit how to pray, suggesting that perhaps some other issue may be allowing the injuries to hang on. Gail had been praying earlier that morning that if she was supposed to stay that she’d be invited, so when Kelly extended the invitation that was all she needed. After we had our service, the prayer team did minister to Gail. Then she made her way towards Hwy. 80 and Carson City.

One week later The Lighthouse received a letter from Carson City Nevada it was addressed to the “Miracle Church”. When we opened it up it said the following:“The Holy Spirit came through the prayer team into me and healed my carpel tunnel (both arms) - broke my addictions - gave me back the joy I had thrown away. I will be faithful to Jesus through the ‘Miracle Church’”. With the note was a check and a thank you! The fact that Gail called The Lighthouse “The Miracle Church” confirmed what visiting minister David Tomberlin had prophesied, “People will be saying this church is where the Miracles happen”.

We thank God that we can point people to Him and not only tell of His mercies but as we call on Him see Him come through on behalf of those with needs!
