Jesus came to my rescue!
The devil tried to kill me recently in the hospital. My body was not responding to treatment. The doctors did all they could, but I could tell my body was dying. I was so weak I could not lift my head up off the bed. That night, I called out to Jesus — and I would not give up calling Him, using a promise from the Word of God. "I know You promised never to leave me or forsake me, but, Jesus, where are You? I've been praying and I haven't heard from You. Jesus, I need You!"
I called out for about ten minutes. Then I said, "Jesus, whether I live or die, my life is in Your hands." A little later, a vision of Jesus' face appeared right before me, drawn in white light. He was riding on a horse, also drawn in white light. Jesus came to my rescue! He fought the battle for me! I am a living testimony!
I have realized that the more you study the Word of God, the better equipped you are to face the trials and hardships of this life. The Word of God can be used against the enemy (the devil) and his associates and they will have to leave.

NO PAIN!
I loved "Divine Healing." I couldn't stop studying it. I am still studying it even after I sent my exam in.
I always believed God could heal, but these ideas were all new to me. I have suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for about ten years.
It has been a difficult struggle for me. Before Christmas I could hardly walk, sometimes needing a cane. I prayed the prayer of faith and I am healed. I have stopped taking expensive biologics and other meds that were keeping me sick. Monday, I walked nearly 8 miles with no pain.
I've been working every day since, but I have walked at least 3 miles a day with no pain.
I feel wonderful! Thanks be to God!

Using my evangelism style
While in class studying evangelism, it was interesting to discover my evangelism style was "testimonial." I never knew I had a "style." The class assignment was to use our evangelism style to minister to an unsaved person. We were instructed to think of three people and choose one to accomplish this goal. I chose my three, but God had another plan.
The very next day, a young lady called our office seeking someone to talk to and pray with her. I work in the Social Service department for Catholic Charities and people often mistake our organization for a church. Most times, I tell people we are not a church and attempt to refer them to a nearby Catholic church.
This time, I told the young lady we were not a church, but I would love to talk with her and pray with her. One hour later, I was leading her to Christ, using my testimonial evangelism style. God knew I needed to see the power of what I had learned and the power it has to help save lives. I'm loving LCU!
