BROKEN BACK HEALED!
David was ministering in a church in Arkansas. A man came forward
for prayer and David asked him what he needed healing for. "Where
do I start? I've been riding bulls my whole life; my whole body's
broken. I hurt all over." He was a real cowboy. His situation was
made even more serious by a terrible accident, a few weeks prior, caused
by his own drunk driving. The doctors didn't think he would pull
through, but he survived. But his back was broken, and he was
wearing a large plastic brace, from neck to hips.
David laid
hands on him and prayed the prayer of faith. The cowboy was touched
powerfully and ended up laying on the ground. David
continued down the prayer line but kept an eye on the cowboy. A
little later, the man stood up and took his brace off and started moving
around. David came back and prayed some more, and after a few
minutes, the cowboy said that all pain had left his body. In fact
he said, "I feel so good I think I'm going to go ride a bull again
tomorrow!" The Lord had healed his broken back! Dec 7

BARRENNESS HEALED
A lady had
been unable to conceive during her 17 years of marriage. The doctors
said there was nothing that could be done. Mihaela led her to the Lord
and prayed for God to do a miracle for her a year ago at a church
meeting. Just recently a member of our church in Huedin saw that lady
again. The lady was holding a small baby. The baby was her MIRACLE,
her own daughter that she had given birth to just two months
previously. What the doctors said was impossible, God made it
possible! The lady sent profuse thanks back to Mihaela for her prayer.

KNEECAP HEALED
Visiting my friend Susi, an elderly widow, it was obvious when I arrived
that she was in pain. As we visited, she showed me some recent x-rays of
her right knee. Even for my untrained eye, it was obvious that her
kneecap was way out of place. She also pointed out a milky mass behind
her knee, a tough mass of scar tissue.
Visually that looked like a swollen knot, the size of a goose egg, on
the back of her knee.
I prayed for God's healing for about 5
minutes. She began to walk and joyfully exclaimed "It's much better."
The pain had decreased by 80%! I laid hands on her knee and continued to
pray, as she bent her knee repeatedly from a standing position. I could
feel the bones grinding and popping under my hands. After a moment more
of praying, the movement seemed smooth under my hands. She walked around
to see how her knee was. Amazingly, she was pain free and with no
grinding! The goose egg on the back of her knee had also completely
disappeared. Praise God, our Healer! visit Dec 2008 |

DEFORMED HANDS HEALED
Friday just before Christmas we went to the hospital
to pray for the sick. Being so close to Christmas, there weren't that
many people there, so when Andreea and I saw an elderly lady sitting in
the hall, we approached her. She told us she had pain in her back and
all through her body. Her hands were numb and were also moderately
deformed due to arthritis. She could wiggle her fingers, but she
couldn't close her hands. Her feet also felt numb.
We prayed for her just a couple of minutes. We stopped to
verify how she was doing. But one look at her face told us
everything... wide eyes and mouth dropped open…she was absolutely
shocked! She felt no pain anywhere in her body and the numbness had
left her hands and feet! All the deformity left her hands and she could
close both hands into tight fists. Andreea and I were shocked too at
how quickly and radically that lady was healed. Andreea shared the
gospel with her and she stepped into relationship with God too! A great
day for her! One with implications all through eternity! God is awesome!

DELIVERANCE AND SALVATION
Another team at the hospital, Dima and Abby met a mother that was
hospitalized, with her son and his fiancée visiting her. The mother
immediately opened up to them when she heard that they had come to pray
for the sick. After sharing about herself, she listened intently as Dima
shared the gospel and she immediately surrendered her life to the Lord.
Dima and Abbey then prayed healing and deliverance for her. As they
prayed, she began to cry, softly at first, then weeping, and finally so
hard that she was coughing at the same time. She was experiencing
deliverance so intensely, that her son repeatedly verified with her that
everything was OK. Afterwards, Dima asked what she felt while they were
praying for her. She said that she felt a wind blowing over her (all the
windows were closed). Then, turning to the soon-to-be-married couple,
Dima and Abby shared about God and then prayed for their marriage. They
too received Jesus in their hearts. Hospital Cluj

OVARIES HEALED OVER
TELEPHONE
Ramona called me during the holidays with severe abdominal pains due to
inflamed ovaries (according to the doctor). The doctor gave her pain
medication but could do nothing else for her, short of an operation to
remove her ovaries. The medicine was no longer keeping the pain at
bay. And at age 20, such an operation was undesirable. She called me
asking me to pray. I prayed for her right over the telephone for about
3 minutes. She didn’t feel anything as I prayed, we chatted a bit and
then hung up. A half hour later I got a text message from her saying
that she felt great and there was no more pain!

SALVATION FOR DIMA'S
HOUSEHOLD
While Dima was home for Christmas…in his words: Two weeks ago, I had to
go home to the Republic of Moldova, to take care of some official things
with the Romanian embassy. Since I was going home, I kept praying the
whole way there, “Lord, what do You want to do? Please touch my family.”
It’s about a 10-hour trip from Cluj to my hometown, so I had plenty of
time to pray. :-)
Once home I kept asking God to touch
my father, who has struggled with alcoholism and wasn’t saved. One
morning while I was having my devotions, my father came into my room to
see what I was doing. A conversation started that ended with my father
inviting Jesus into his heart. I then prayed deliverance for him. While
I was praying the fire of God fell on him and he started getting a
little scared. He said, “Take your hand off my head! It’s burning
me...man, you’re killing me...my blood pressure is going up!”
The next day I prayed for him again,
and the fire of God came on him even stronger. The deliverance was
intense. I also offered to pray healing for his leg. He fell off some
scaffolding, and now years later he still experienced severe pain. I
prayed for him, then he went in the other room and began to test out his
leg. Though he bent and stretched in every direction, he couldn’t find
the pain any more! Jesus healed him! He kept saying “Oh Lord! O Lord!”
I was on fire, so next I went to my 73 year old, unsaved grandfather.
Many times I had said to myself “He can’t die without getting saved!”
That day I spoke with him about Jesus and about salvation, and he too
gave his life to Jesus. So much joy came over us that we both sat there
and laughed and laughed.
My aunt was in the kitchen, so I
said, “I’m going to her too.” While we were talking, she told me that
her legs had bad circulation, and because of that, every evening, she
had to put her feet in hot water to warm them up. I offered to pray
healing for her. After praying for 4 minutes, she told me, “My feet are
hot! Seriously, my feet are hot!” I then shared with her the message of
salvation, and she too prayed to receive Jesus into her heart!!!!

PAIN CAUSED BY AMPUTATED
LEG HEALED
We found a lady with an
amputated left leg (she was operated on for varicose veins and the
incision became so infected they had to remove her leg to save her
life). The stump hurt all the time and when we started praying she was
in great pain though she had taken a pain pill two hours earlier. Her
right foot was also in great pain and she was unable to move her toes.
After we prayed for her, she kept poking and prodding the stump unable
to believe the pain that she had suffered for years had just
disappeared! The soul of her right foot also felt very hot to her and
within a few minutes that foot was pain free and she was moving her toes
back and forth to her delight. She too accepted Jesus.

SEVERE ARTHRITIS HEALED
Next to her, another lady had
pain in every joint through her body. Her hands were frozen in an open
position and she was unable to close her fingers at all. As we prayed
she too felt heat and tingling sensations through her hands and up her
arms. In addition all the pain left throughout her body. We asked her to
try to move her hands…she could move her fingers and could partially
close her hands. We prayed specifically for her hands….and then she
moved them again. Right before our eyes they got freer and freer. When
the first finger touched her palm she was thrilled. Evidently that
hadn’t happened for a very long time. She accepted Jesus too! I came
back to see her after two days and more fingers were touching her palm…I
prayed again for complete healing. Hospital Cluj Nov 2008 |
|
ARTHRITIS HEALED
One lady couldn’t close her
hands due to severe arthritis. While praying, the bones and joints in
her hands and fingers began to pop and move. She suddenly had full
movement in both hands! She accepted Jesus into her heart.

TWISTED BONE MADE STRAIGHT
Another lady had crippling
pain in both knees. Her right knee was worse than the left and the pain
and constantly cramping muscles had caused the bone of her leg to bow to
the outside. She walked with great difficulty. The bone was actually
twisted. As they prayed, they commanded the bone to straighten. And it
did! Dima had his hand on her knee and he could feel the bones move
under his hand, and everyone in the room could hear the popping as God
adjusted all the bones, putting each in its right place. She
accepted her Healer also as her Savior. Hospital Cluj Nov

POORLY HEALED BROKEN LEG
HEALED
Still another lady suffered
from an accident she had years ago. A cow kicked the lady and broke her
leg. The break had healed badly and she was in constant pain. Dima and
his team prayed for her and she felt like something was coming out of
her leg and all the pain immediately left. She invited Jesus into her
heart. Hospital Cluj Nov 2008 |

MIGRAINE HEADACHE DISAPPEARS
I was talking with my mom on
the phone and she mentioned that that sister was in bed with a migraine
headache. So I said goodbye to my mom and called up Vickie my
sister. I offered to pray. I had Vickie put her own hand on
the back of her head and I laid my hand on the back of my head. I
prayed for her healing. Remembering that my mom too used to have
migraines, I broke any curse involved and commanded the headache to
never come back. I asked her if she felt anything as I prayed.
She said that she felt tingling going up from her neck and traveling up
to the top of her head. God was at work. Months later my
sister told me that she hadn't had a migraine since then. telephone call

BURNING SENSATIONS IN LEGS
HEALED
A lady had terrible pains and
constant burning sensations in her legs due to diabetes. As Andreea and
her team prayed she felt a cooling sensation run over her legs and then
she was completely comfortable with no pain and no burning sensation.

INCESSANT COUGHING
EASED
A third lady coughed
incessantly. She had a sensation in her throat of choking and
suffocating. As they prayed her throat soothed and her coughing slowed
dramatically. Hospital Cluj Oct 2008 |

TWO NEW CHRISTIANS EXPERIENCE GOD'S POWER
Two brothers Dorin and Daniel, both received Jesus at camp. Just a few
days old as believers, they went home. Within a few hours, they noticed
four of their friends that were in pain in some way. They offered to
pray. One after another was healed! Claudia, (11 years old) was pain
free after having a toothache and earache for days. Marius (10 years
old) “lost” his big headache. Two other boys were also healed; one with
a backache and another with a leg injury.
The first Sunday after camp and their
first time ever at church, Dorin and Daniel brought Claudia and Marius
with them. Just looking at the two of them during worship, you could
tell they were enjoying our very unusual and even fun church. During the
ministry time, Maya led both Claudia and Marius to Jesus. As Maya prayed
for them, the presence of God came on them both very strongly.
Sunday night some of the young people from camp got together.
Marius (just saved that morning) walks in and said "I healed someone
today!" He had been with one of his friends that had complained of
a stomach ache. Marius prayed for his friend. He did what
Dorin and Daniel had done for him...laid his hands on his friend and
prayed for Jesus' healing. Marius's friend was shcoked to see that
the pain went away immediately. Cluj Sep 2008 |

SCOLIOSIS HEALED
Alex suffered from
scoliosis which caused constant pain in his back. Maya, a staff member
traced his back bone and felt the place where it “bent” in the wrong
direction. After David prayed, Alex stood up pain free! Maya traced
his back bone again and found that the bent place in his spinal column
was now straight! Radical Life Camp Sept 2008 |

TORN CALF MUSCLES HEALED
Doru, the cook’s son came to
camp to assist his mom in the kitchen. Little did he know that God had
something cooking for him! [The first night of camp I left the evening
meeting to do something. I was surprised to see Doru, his mom and the
owner of the place sitting on the adjacent terrace and listening to the
entire meeting.] The second night of camp, Doru came for prayer for his
leg. He had several torn muscles in his calf and walked with a limp.
After prayer, all the pain left and he could move his leg freely. He
gave His life to Jesus right then and there. Later he was seen jumping
around on the playing field. A perfectly healthy leg!

WEATHER SUPERNATURALLY
CHANGED
Before departure, the weather
forecast for the entire duration of the camp was rain, rain, rain! We
prayed for weather in our favor and rebuked the rain. The day of
departure was wet after a rain. But the entire few days of camp were
dry, warm days and cool nights! Perfect! And just as a reminder that
this was an act of God, the afternoon of our arrival home, it began to
rain!

MOLLY, THE DOG HEALED
There was a big white dog
named Molly at camp that walked on three legs, favoring the fourth,
obviously a sore and swollen leg. One night David was praying late out
on the terrace and Molly came over to keep him company. David laid his
hand on Molly and prayed for healing. The next day Molly’s leg was not
swollen any more and Molly was walking almost perfectly. Why do I share
this? Everyone at camp had seen Molly’s suffering. The second night,
David told the story of how he had prayed for the dog’s healing. Several
of the non-Christian and brand new Christian participants said “I saw
that!”. It seems that everyone in the camp had also noticed the healed
Molly. It seemed like such a simple thing to me, but to those young
people, Molly’s healing was a big deal! They had witnessed a miracle
with their own eyes and that simple story brought a breakthrough to the
atmosphere of the camp…afterwards there was simple faith in God’s
ability to do the impossible.

BROKEN LEG HEALED
During one visit, Dima and
Maya met a man with a broken leg. His leg was in a cast and he was still
in great pain. He couldn’t put any weight on his foot and walked only
with difficulty and with the aide of crutches. While Dima and Maya
prayed, the pain instantly left and afterwards the man went walking up
and down the halls and stairs, carrying his crutches in his hands. He
was totally amazed with what God had done and kept making the sign of
the cross (Orthodox) and saying “My God! My God!” Hospital Huedin

STROKE HEALING BEGINS
Last week, in Huedin, Vlase
and I entered the intensive care unit of the hospital. There were two
ladies in the room. The one in the far corner had had a cerebral stroke
and as a result lost her speech and ability to move her arms. Her
daughter was sitting next to her. We prayed first for the lady closest
to the door. She had problems with her heart and general weakness
throughout her body. While we prayed she felt heat in the area of her
heart and tingling sensation over her body. We went to the lady with the
stroke. Her daughter was crying and explained to us while we were
praying for the other lady, that her mom had lifted her hand to her face
for the first time since the stroke. We prayed and saw her lift her hand
several more times before we left the room. Hospital Huedin

burn pain healed
Sandina and I prayed for an
elderly lady with severe and painful burns on her lower leg and foot.
She had dropped a pot of boiling water, scalding herself badly. The pain
intensified as we prayed (sure evidence of the enemy), but we persisted
and then the pain suddenly left. The lady’s son was there and when he
saw this happen, he told us that he had some severe bowel problems and
had to spend a couple of hours every day for 30 years in the bathroom!
Recognizing the hand of our adversary, we prayed and broke off the curse
and blessed him in the name of Jesus. We then led everyone in the room
to the Lord. After we finished praying, the man kept saying with a big
smile “This was for me! This was for me!” Hospital Huedin July

KNEE SURGERY EVADED
A man was scheduled for knee
surgery in both knees. The articulating surfaces had deteriorated and
had bits of calcium in the joints causing severe pain and grinding
sensations in both knees. Viorela and I prayed for this man and both
knees were healed! We had him stand and he began by taking hesitant
steps, expecting pain. But he was pain free and his knees worked
perfectly and smoothly. Tears began to flow freely. He bent and lifted
his knees like he hadn’t been able to do for years! He then also
received Jesus. Hospital Huedin July 2008 |

PARTIALLY DEAF MAN HEALED
Dima and Andreea prayed for
an older man. He had various conditions. But he was also very hard of
hearing and they had to speak loudly in his ear for him to hear. After
they prayed for the other conditions, Andreea said “Let’s pray for his
hearing too!” After praying, they verified his hearing. They had him
look at one of them while the other talked in a normal voice out of
sight. He could hear that! He could also hear when they spoke in
whispers! The man was so touched! And he tearfully said, “Pray for my
eyes too”. He had cataracts and his sight was dimming. As they prayed
his eyes cleared and he exclaimed “There is more light in the room!”

HEALING WITNESSED AND 10
ACCEPT LORD
Andreea and Claudia prayed
for a lady with a painful situation with her bladder. God touched her
and the pain disappeared instantly. When the 7 others in her room saw
what God had done, they became eager to hear more. As Andreea and
Claudia explained the good news of salvation in Jesus, a couple of other
ladies wandered in from the hallway. (one of these ladies had
categorically refused their prayer in the previous room thinking they
were Jehovah Witnesses. But she followed them down the hall to the next
room and what she saw and heard melted her heart) Andreea and Claudia
found themselves sharing the gospel with 10 ladies. And all ten accepted
Jesus as their Savior! But the story didn’t stop there. The lady healed
of the painful bladder, showed up that same afternoon with her sick
daughter at our church. Her daughter was also healed and saved right
there! Amazing! Hospital Huedin July 2008 |

RUPTURED GALL BLADDER

One lady's skin was colored
completely orange-brown from a ruptured gall bladder. The color
lightened to a shade of yellow as we prayed for her.

HIP PAIN HEALED
One lady suffered with severe
pain in her hip which radiated all the way down her leg. As we prayed,
she felt something like a wind blowing across her hip. During the next
visit, we prayed again and again she could feel the wind blowing, this
time around and around her leg. When the “wind stopped blowing” she was
completely pain free. Hospital Huedin June 2008 |

LOCKED UP ELBOW RELEASED
Another lady couldn't bend
her arm at the elbow without severe pain and she couldn't straighten it
at all...it was like that joint was locked up. We prayed and all pain
left and she could bend her arm freely. But the time came to leave and
she still couldn't straighten her arm. After we left, the ladies in the
room kept talking about us and what God had done. As they proclaimed
God's good works, that lady's arm suddenly “unlocked” and she could
straighten it! Hospital Cluj May 2008 |

LIVER CANCER HEALED
David prayed for a young man
with liver cancer with numerous tumors all through his liver. A week
later, he was back to pray again. In the meantime the man had been
tested again and the doctors confirmed that 75% of the tumors had
‘inexplicably’ disappeared! The young man gave his life to Jesus too!

ALLERGIC REACTION
DISAPPEARS
Sandina came with what she
called an “allergic reaction” on her arms and hands, “burning and
itchy”. She showed me her arms-- they were inflamed, bright red,
irritated with small eruptions breaking out. After prayer, we looked at
her arms again and they were perfectly normal—both in color and texture!

SHORT LEG GROWS
Adela a 14 year girl, wore an
insert in her shoe because her legs were 1.25 inches different in
length. That was until Saturday night. David sat her down and held her
legs up with her feet side by side. It was clearly evident that her legs
were a different length. Adelea was the last person being prayed for so
a few of us gathered around to watch and pray with those ministering to
her. The team prayed for about 20 minutes for her. The length of her
legs were checked several times during prayer. At first there was
nothing noticeable going on but then there was only about a half inch
difference and finally no difference at all! We witnessed a creative
miracle! God growing out a leg! That was truly amazing! First time I’ve
seen something like that! But not the last! Healing Crusade

NECK PAIN HEALED
An elderly member of our
Huedin church came for prayer. She had seen God heal again and again. So
she came knowing that God could fix her painful neck and upper back. We
prayed and yes He did it! The pain disappeared completely. She kissed us
and “kissed” God too in thanksgiving for what He had done for her!

FOUR WOMEN ENCOUNTER GOD
One room in particular was
such a thrill for me. Andreea and I entered and introduced ourselves.
There were five elderly ladies in the room, each suffering with her own
pain and disease. We offered to pray for healing. We went to the first
bed. This lady suffered painful bloating in her abdomen, her belly was
distended and very hard. We prayed. Right under our hands the bloating
went down and her belly softened. When we asked, she said there was no
more pain! She was all smiles! On to lady #2: She had severe pain in her
chest and had heart problems. We prayed for her and suddenly all the
pain left and she said her heart was healed! (Can people really feel
that? Seems so!) When we got to lady #3, she was crying with hope that
God would touch her too. She too had a bloated belly and great pain also
in her back, chest and shoulder. She had been bedridden for some time,
unable to sit up without excruciating pain. As we prayed for her, I
heard ladies #1 and #2 talking together. They were asking each other “Do
you really not hurt anymore? No! Me neither!” Laughing and smiling…I
mean to say there was a radical change in their demeanor since we had
initially walked into the room. They continued to talk about how good
God is while they watched what happened with #3. After praying, we had
#3 start moving around to see if she still hurt. At first she wasn’t
very sure, moving and expecting the pain to shoot through her body, but
no pain came! Amazing! Her distended belly had also “deflated” and she
had no pain in her abdomen either! We moved to #4 and before we could
start praying for her, we looked back and #3 was sitting up in bed
moving with no pain! All smiles! The first three ladies were laughing
and joking about packing their bags and going home! #4 had severe back
pains with vertebrae that kept slipping out of place. She walked only
with great pain and sometimes couldn’t walk at all. Then as we prayed,
the pain left and God gave her a “realignment” and made all things new
in her back. We turned to pray for #5…She had turned her back to us and
gone to sleep. Imagine! These four women eagerly accepted Jesus as their
Savior. They encountered Jesus who forgives all their sins and heals all
their diseases. Ps 103:3 Hospital Huedin Feb 2008 |

STAGE FOUR LUNG CANCER HEALED
David and Mihaela went to Baie Mare, a city 2 hours from Cluj, and
ministered in Logos Church. During the ministry time God spoke to
David that He was healing lungs. So David spoke that word out to
the congregation. Alin, 20 years old, came forward in response.
Alin had just finished 3 months of chemotherapy to treat his lung cancer
that had spread into other parts of his body. After radical
attempts to stop the cancer, the doctors detected the cancer still in
his lugs and proclaimed his case inoperable and said there was nothing
more that they could do. Alin was desperate for God's touch.
During prayer, Alin felt intense heat go through his chest.
A couple of weeks later, Alin went back to his doctor. His doctor
checked and rechecked to find the cancer. But he found no trace
and tald Alin "It's a miracle!" Alin told the doctor "It's not
just a miracle, it is a result of the power of God!" The doctor
proclaimed him cancer free! Baie Marie Jan 2008 |
