MIRACLE HEALING TESTIMONY
by:  Abram Dyck

"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

GOD HEALED OUR SON FROM ASTHMA & TURRETS SYNDROME

Abram got healed of Turrets Syndrome and Asthma in March 1996.

My husband Abe and I have been married for 21 years in July.  We have 4 beautiful children - 2 boys and 2 girls.  We also have 2 grandsons.  The children were all born healthy except our son Abram.  A few hours after he was born the doctor came to me and said, "Your son is very sick, we'll have to transfer him to St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg."

Abram was diagnosed with asthma!  For the first 2 1/2 years he spent more time in the hospital than at home because of the asthma..  The doctor always told us there is still hope for your child.  He might grow out of asthma.

But as the years went by, Abram got severe asthma attacks and was on medication for asthma from the day he was born.  When he was 12 years old we noticed another change was happening. We went through one year with a lot of problems with him.  We sought help and advice because we didn't know what was wrong with him.  He would stay awake 24 hours a day walking and pacing the floor.  And he would do very unusual things like trying to burn the house down a number of times.

OUR PASTOR SAID, 'You have to put this boy in a Mental Institute!"

My husband and I would take turns so we would get some rest.  We told the doctor, "Look, there is something wrong with this boy."  The doctor made an appointment with a specialist which took a couple of months.  Our son often told us that he wanted to go to Hell - not to Heaven!  He cried a lot and always said, "Nobody knows what I'm going through and nobody knows how I feel inside."

The specialist diagnosed him with Turrets Syndrome.  We learned there was no cure for it!  So now our son had both asthma and turrets syndrome. There was no cure but something inside of us told us different.  A voice inside of me told me, "Your son can get healed."  Then I started seeing visions of angels and they spoke to me in my dreams.

I contacted the pastors of the church we attended.  They told us that we would have to put this boy in a mental institution because we would never be able to handle it.  But that wasn't what we wanted to hear.

Then we invited our aunt and uncle over to our home and we talked to them about our son and how we had to watch him around the clock because he was so out of control with the Turrets Syndrome.

Uncle Abe Wiebe asked us if we believed in faith healing?  Well yes, and no, there was an in-between.  He prayed with my husband that God should cast the devil out of this home and let God take control of all these struggles.  Then Uncle Abe said to us that there is an evangelist coming to Winnipeg in March and you are very welcome to come.

COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE - THAT OUR SON WOULD GET HEALED

Our first question was, Who is this evangelist?  Uncle Abe answered, "Pastor Max Solbrekken."  We asked, "What does he do?"  He answered, "Pastor Max Solbrekken preaches the Gospel and prays for the sick!"  And he told us that many people received wonderful healing miracles in the Max Solbrekken revival miracle crusades.

They told us what date in March this revival meeting would be and then they left.  Well, we sure had something to think about.   Thoughts ran through our minds - Could this be possible that our son would be healed of this horrid disease Turrets Syndrome and also of the Asthma.

But I remember my husband and I kept saying, "Anything is worth trying, we don't have any hope elsewhere."

Then we talked to our son about this faith healing and we wanted to take him to these meetings.  His reply was - "How is a pastor going to heal me?"  We told him it wasn't the pastor healing you - It's God that does the healing!  But you must have faith that God can heal you.  Well we sure felt something working inside of us.

When the meetings started at the 'Waves of Glory' in Winnipeg on March 24, 1996, my husband was in the hospital and we had a snow storm that Sunday.  We did not end up going to the revival that day.  Then on Monday we were able to go but our son kept on saying, "I'm not going to the front."  But yet he could not keep on ignoring it.

So on Tuesday he went to the front for prayer.  Pastor Max Solbrekken prayed for our son to be healed of Turrets Syndrome and Asthma.

And from that day on he kept saying, "God healed me - God healed me.!"  And whenever he would meet up with someone or hear someone was sick he'd say, "I know God can heal that person because God healed me!"  And he also says, "Dad will get healed because I pray for him every day."

Now Abram is 15 years old and its almost one year later.  He went to the doctor on February 10, 1997 for a check-up.  He has not been on any medication for Turrets Syndrome or Asthma for almost a year now.  What a change we have seen in him.  The Turrets syndrome is gone and the asthma is gone.

The doctor's report states that Abram has no signs of asthma nor of Turrets Syndrome and we are so happy.  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
