by:  Ruthie Astor, Prince Rupert, B.C.  Canada

"He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)

I RECEIVED A HEALING MIRACLE FROM JESUS CHRIST

I had Grand Mal epileptic seizures since I was 11 years olf - THEN JESUS HEALED ME

I was an epileptic.  I had been having epileptic and had grand mal epileptic seizures regularly since the age of 11.  These Grand Mal epileptic seizures were very bad and caused me extreme amounts of pain.

Every time I had a Grand Mal epileptic seizure I would be so traumatized and  my life was completely full of fear.

It all began when I was 11 years old.  I suddenly began having violent seizures.  I was taken to the doctors and they diagnosed me as having Grand Mal Epileptic Seizures.

I would have at least 1 or 2 Epileptic Grand Mal Seizures every single day.  I had to take handfuls of pills every day to try to control the Grand Mal seizures.   I took 7 pills (Delanton Phenobarb & others) each and every day.

GRAND MAL EPILEPTIC SEIZURES WERE DESTROYING MY LIFE & MY HAPPINESS

I could not have a proper life as the epileptic seizures were destroying any happiness that I could find.

We heard that Pastor Max Solbrekken was coming to Prince Rupert for a Revival miracle crusade.

JESUS HEALED ME - I WAS INSTANTLY HEALED

We went to the Revival miracle crusade and Pastor Max Solbrekken prayed for me in the name of Jesus.  I was INSTANTLY healed.  Jesus Christ in his mercy touched me and gave me a miracle healing and completely took away the Grand Mal Epileptic seizures.

I HAVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER GRAND MAL SEIZURE AND TAKE NO MEDICATION

This miracle healing happened in 1992 and since that day I have been completely free of Epilepsy and have not had any Grand Mal seizures.

I do not need or take any medication.  PRAISE GOD

WHAT IS THE KEY
 to receiving healing, miracles and answers to Prayer?
By: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.

SEEKING GOD IN PRAYER, PRAISE, WORSHIP AND EXPECTANT FAITH

The key to receiving miracles and answers to prayers in found in seeking God in prayer, praise, worship and having expectant faith. Unfailing faith that God will answer your prayers and expect a miracle.  I believe that a major key to  miraculous healing miracles can be found in the steadfast faith, steadfast godly lifestyle and exemplary Christian testimony.

A DOCTOR ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON FAITH HEALING
By: Dr. A. Wagenaar of Hilversum, Holland

Questions: Dr. Wagenaar, will you tell us what your position is in the field of science?

Answers: "I have been medical superintendent in the Orchidee Hospital, Hilversum, for the last six years. Before that I was a family doctor for 23 years in Dordrecht."

Questions:  Do you believe in miracles of healing?

Answers: "Of course! In my practice as a family doctor I have seen many miracles take place."

Questions: When is healing a miracle?

Answers: "When it is not the result of medical treatment."

Questions: Can a miracle not be explained away psychologically?

Answers: "No, that is not to be thought of. Just as you cannot explain away the miracles of the New Testament.

"Every physician knows that spontaneous miracles do occur. You will be interested to know that spontaneous hearings have even been reported in patients who suffer from cancer. This has been publicized several times in medical journals. Medical science has admitted that miracles do occur after the prayer of faith."

Questions: You said that you have seen miracles occur in your practice. Could you give us an example?

Answers: "Yes, in Dordrecht I had a very busy practice. A family doctor in the course of his practice meets many people who are in urgent need of medical help and he does all he can to help them.

"I will tell you about one patient. He used to play music in bars and was inclined to treat life lightly. He needed an operation and I gave him a card for the hospital. But before he was to be operated on I asked him to go with me to one of Ev. Johan Maasbach's big meetings. He agreed and, during the meeting, concentrated on God. When he went later to check in for the operation the surgeon said, You can go home, we are not going to operate on you, you are totally healed!"

Questions: Have you advised other people too to go to Johan Maasbach's meetings?

Answers: "Yes, many! Generally after an introductory talk and often after I have spoken to one of the elders of the church; I asked the elder to visit my patient and, so to speak, break the ice. I know that Br. Maasbach sends the patient on to the Heavenly Doctor who can do more than all the branches of science combined.

"Over and above those I have mentioned I have sent many others to Br. Maasbach after they had been to consult me. I have seen them saved in the meeting and healed as well. I am so glad that in this time when one church after another is being broken down there are still people who let their voices be heard more than ever. We urgently need more men like Johan Maasbach.

He is a man who has preached for many years that sickness usually comes from within - from the heart of man - and is often the result of hate, envy, grudges and bitterness. Now medical science too admits that many diseases are a result of inner tensions!"

Questions: You believe then that Br. Maasbach is not being medically irresponsible in what he preaches?

Answers: "No indeed! He preaches that people who come forward for healing must bring not only their sins but also their cares and all their inner problems to God. That is a healing truth. That is biblical truth."

Questions: How did you yourself come to faith in Christ?

Answers: "I will tell you! When I was a young man of 23 1 almost drowned. I was trying to save a woman who had fallen into the water and it nearly resulted in my own death. However, after fighting for my life and finally reaching dry land, I was a new man. I knew that I had reached a spiritual turning point. God had let me live!"

Questions: What do you think about certain doctors who have seen miracles with their own eyes and still refuse to believe?

Answers: "I have met people who have had their healing confirmed by many people and who afterwards went to various doctors to demonstrate their hea5;ng only to be rejected. I must assume that these doctors are totally blind to God's existence..

This is not however a problem peculiar to medical science; you know as well as I do that many ministers, preachers and priests; are just as blind to the message of divine heating."

Questions: Doctor, do you often speak to your patients about faith in Jesus Christ?

Answers: "I always do so when I feel so guided. When you know that, medically speaking, there is no cure possible then - at least this is how it is for me - you can only speak a positive word, the Word of God.

"I have personally led several people who were ill to the through inner tensions to the Lord. Only He, Jesus Christ, can give that desperately needed rest."

Questions: Do you think that later a medical cure may be found for certain illnesses which can now only be cured by a miracle?

Answers: "If I think of cancer, I know that man is hard at work to find a cure. This is the prediction and hope of everyone working in that field. However they have not yet found a cure. And should a medical cure be found there will still be other incurable illnesses…"

Questions: Finally doctor, do you consider that personal faith in Jesus Christ is of importance to science?

Answers: "Very important!! You know that science has gone out on a limb in believing that man is descended from apes. Science is still trying to find the missing link!! The friction between faith and science is that when man comes to faith he can no longer accept such theories as that of evolution.

"Faith in Jesus Christ is of the utmost importance for all, including those engaged in the pursuit of scientific knowledge."

"... and with His stripes we were healed." Isaiah 53:5
