Miracle
Testimony
by:
Marion Cowger I
WAS HEALED I
HAD 3 CRUSHED VERTEBRATES AND
I SUFFERED EXCRUCIATING
BACK PAIN
On
June 29, 1996 I was going out to my car and I fell over
backwards onto a cement divider in our parkade!
I
SUFFERED TERRIBLE BACK PAIN CONSTANTLY
I
knew I had injured myself seriously because of the excruciating
pains I suffered. I was in no shape to travel, but Perry
and I had been invited to an important Family Reunion in Moose
Jaw, Saskatchewan.
And
you know how family members are. The family was insistent
that we be there, so we decided we would try to make the trip.
We
drove to Salmon Arm, BC and continued to Fernie, BC in my
brother’s car. While staying overnight in Fernie, I
became very ill and needed an ambulance to get to the hospital.
I
HAD 3 CRUSHED VERTEBRATES IN MY LOWER BACK
At
the hospital the doctors
diagnosed me as having severe muscle spasms due to three crushed
vertebrates in my lower back.
On
Sunday afternoon December 1, 1996, after suffering terribly for
more than 5 months, I attended a miracle rally that Pastor Max
Solbrekken was holding.
I
WAS INSTANTLY HEALED - JESUS CHRIST HEALED ME
When
Pastor Solbrekken called people to the front that wished to have
prayer, I went forward. When Pastor Solbrekken prayed for
me, Jesus Christ healed me instantly.
I
was so happy that I had attended Max Solbrekken's Miracle
Rally in Surrey, BC and that Jesus Christ touched and healed me,
what a wonderful miracle!
Praise
God, I have relief from pain and the ability to move freely
again! Hallelujah!
Bible
Verse Can Cure
Sickness & Diseases
By: Pastor Max Solbrekken
GOD'S
HEALING COVENANT
"And
said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD
thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt
give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will
put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon
the Egyptians: for I AM the LORD that healeth thee."
(Exodus 15:26)
NONE
OF THESE DISEASES
One of the
most helpful books in print today is the classic, 'None of These
Diseases' by Dr. S.I. McMillan.
The author,
Dr. S.I. McMillan, a prominent medical doctor uses humor, common
sense and a biblical perspective, in dealing with the causes and
cures of today's diseases.
"It is
lamentable that peace does not come in capsules", he utters
in failure as he remembers the thousands of patients who left
his office with "nothing but a prescription for a bottle of
pills that would only relieve the symptoms of their illness but
not attack the diseases.
The good
doctor laments that he now wishes he had rather prescribed his
book, 'None of These Diseases', so that a permanent cure could
have been affected! According to Medical Science, between
60 and 100% of all diseases are caused by nervous tension,
emotional stress and strain.
Dr. McMillan
states that emotions such as fear, sorrow, envy, resentment and
hatred are responsible for the majority of our sicknesses and
diseases. And that emotional stress can cause high blood
pressure, toxic goiter, arthritis, migraine headaches, apoplexy,
heart trouble, gastro-intestinal ulcers and other serious
illnesses and diseases.
And recently
(about 1996) the American Medical Association released the
findings of a nation-wide survey of tens of thousands of their
medics. One of the questions dealt with their success ratio in
treating patients. The answer is shocking - Only 10% of
patients had received any lasting help through their medical
procedures.
MEDICAL
SCIENCE HISTORY RESTS ON SHAKY FOUNDATION
Having any
problems with falling hair? What do you do to cover up
that bald spot and receding hairline?
Probably the
only solution is to massage your head, comb your hair forward,
get a toupee or just simply let it fall.
CRAZY
CURES FOR DISEASES 3500 YEARS AGO
If you had
lived about 3500 years ago you would have gotten very different
advice - not from a therapist but from your physician.
He would have
quoted from the famous medical authority of that day, Papyrus
Ebers.
"When it
falls out, one remedy is to apply a mixture of six fats, namely
those of the horse, the hippopotamus, the crocodile, the cat,
the snake and the ibex. To strengthen it, anoint with the tooth
of a donkey crushed in honey."
THE PAPYRUS
EBERS - AN ANCIENT MEDICAL WORLD GUIDE - REMEDIES FOR DISEASES
1552 BC.
The Papyrus
Ebers was published about 1552 BC and occupied a dominant
position in the ancient medical world and was one of the leading
guides for practicing physicians for a long time.
There are
literally hundreds of remedies for diseases in this book, such
as lizard's blood, swine's teeth, putrid meat, stinking fat,
moisture from pig's ears, milk goose grease, asses hooves,
animal fat from various sources, excrete from animals, including
human beings, donkeys, antelopes, dogs, cats and even flies.
THROUGH
MOSES, GOD MADE HIS HEALING COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH NATION
Moses was
born about the time the 'Papyrus Ebers' was written in Egypt.
He was educated in their highest schools of learning - scholars
think he was also a physician - as the son of Pharaoh's
daughter.
But when God
called Moses to lead His people out of Egyptian bondage, he did
not borrow from the "occultist clap-trap" in their
medical books of disease remedies. He rejected the
highest, most respected medical authority of that day.
Moses'
directive was "Heed the voice of God, do right, obey His
commandments, keep His statutes and I will heal you."
God did not
borrow medical advice from the 'Papyrus Ebers'. His advice to
Moses was contrary to the most highly respected medical thought
of that day.
THE
CHURCH WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN STOPPING
THE BLACK DEATH DISEASE
Millions of
Europeans died of the disease Leprosy for hundreds of years.
Some physicians thought the cause of the disease Leprosy was
eating hot food or the meat of diseased hogs. Others
blamed the disease Leprosy on malign conjunction of the planets.
Approximately
60 million people died from the BLACK DEATH disease in the 14th
century. Dr. George Rosen of Columbia University writes:
"Leadership was taken by the Church, as the physicians had
nothing to offer. The Church took as its guiding principal
the concept of contagion as embodied in the Old Testament.
DISEASE
OF LEPROSY - PEOPLE AFFLICTED WITH THIS DISEASE WERE QUARANTINED
"Once
the condition of leprosy has been established, the patient was
to be segregated and excluded from the community...it
accomplished the first great feat...in methodical eradication of
disease".
Possibly, the
Church needs to investigate measures to insure that the AIDS
epidemic does not leap from high risk groups to the general
population, since governmental and medical bodes are again
"doing nothing:.
For centuries
in Europe, multitudes perished from deadly diseases because of
improper hygiene, sanitation and sloppy hospitals. In many
villages, human excrement and waste was dumped into the streets,
bringing deadly diseases, creating epidemics of typhoid, cholera
and dysentery!
GOD HAD
GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BURYING OF
WASTES 3500 YEARS AGO
The solution
to the problem that was causing these deadly diseases, the
burying of wastes, had been given by God 3500 years before (in
Deuteronomy 23:12-13).
HYGIENE
CUT MORTALITY RATE - GOOD HYGIENE STOPPED DISEASES FROM
SPREADING
Venna
in the 1840s was famous as a medical center. One of the
most famous teaching hospitals of that day was Allegemeine
Krakenhus. In its maternity ward, one out of six women
died.
Dr. Ignaz
Semmelveis discovered that if doctors washed their hands well,
after doing autopsies and before examining expectant mothers,
the mortality rate dropped drastically.
Dr.
Semmelveis was not applauded by the Medical Profession.
However, he was ridiculed by his peers, discredited, lost his
position and eventually succumbed to the pressure, dying in a
mental hospital.
Moses had
given the same advice many centuries before (in Numbers 19).
If wasn't until 1878 that the method of cleaning hands and
instruments was introduced by men like John Tyendall, Louis
Pasteur and Sir Joseph Lister that the mortality rate began to
drop.
The New York
State Department of Health, in 1960, issued a book describing a
method of washing the hands very similar to that found the BIBLE
- Numbers Chapter 19.
JOHN
WESLEY, FOUNDER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH DECLARED IT WAS GOD'S
WILL FOR MIRACLES TO BE IN THE CHURCH, BUT THE MIRACLES HAD BEEN
LOST DUE TO UNBELIEF.
It's
interesting to note that John Wesley - founder of the Methodist
Church declared that it is God's will for miracles to be in the
Church, for the entire Church age, but have been lost to the
church because of UNBELIEF.
He further
stated, "The only method of physics employed by the Early
Church for the first 400 years, was the prayer of faith."
Medical
science has come a long way since Papyrus Ebers was published in
1552, BC and even since the 1840's in Vienna, but I still think
that when your family physician advises you to get a second or
third opinion about an operation, its a good idea.
Now if anyone
wants to try the remedy for falling hair, don't let me
discourage you. But then where would you find a hippopotamus
these days?
As for me and
my house, we will Trust the Lord and serve Him only!
