ASTHMA
AND MENIERE'S DISEASE HEALED
Dear Hamilton,
Here is the testimony I promised you at the Healing Conference in
Minnesota.
In Nov. of 1999, my two children ages 18 months and 3 &1/2 years were both
diagnosed with reactive airway disease (asthma). Prior to this diagnosis, they
were ill with respiratory infections, pneumonia, wheezing, croup for almost 4
months continuous. They were receiving medications via nebulizer just to avoid
pneumonia, chronic coughing, croup, and simply just to breath clearly and sleep
through the night. In Feb. of 2000, I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease.
Meniere's is a disease of the inner ear which cannot be cured. My symptoms
included pressure inside my ears, noise in my ears which would sometimes wake me
up at night, and the inability to hear clearly when there was any background
noise(several people in a room talking). I was taking a medication which helped
the symptom of pressure and helped with some of the noise. When I stopped the
medication, within 3 days the pressure and noise became very distracting and
uncomfortable.
In July 2000, you were at the Milaca Assembly of God. It was our first visit to
a pentecostal or even evangelical church service. I had never been in front of a
church for an alter call. I had been saved while reading a book. You preached,
then asked for people with back pain to come foreword. My son spoke to me and
said, Mom get up there, you have back pain." I hadn't told him that I did
not currently have any back pain. It seemed to me I had better go up front in
order to walk in faith as an example for my child. I didn't have time to explain
to him that I no longer had back trouble. When you came to me, I told you my
ears were the problem, not my back. You put your fingers in my ears, prayed, and
I felt the energy of the Holy Spirit go down my ear canal and I felt a release
of the pressure. I then discontinued my medication and have had no recurrence of
the pressure and I have had a normal hearing test. That was Sunday morning.
Sunday night, we brought our children forward to receive prayer for asthma. When
you prayed for my daughter, I felt the power of God like waves of energy move
from her to me and I lost the ability to stand up. You also prayed for our son.
From the time you prayed for our son, he has had no more symptoms.
Praise the Lord!!!! One year later, his doctor couldn't believe it and asked me
if I thought he had really had asthma. He also asked me what I thought had
happened. And so I was able to witness to him about the healing power of God. My
daughter was somewhat better immediately however she still required medication
for the chronic cough and occasional inhalers when she was short of breath. We
continued to pray over her believing in the annointing of God working within her
to line her body up with health. As we attended other meetings we asked other
evangelists to pray over her photo as we did not have her with. As the 3rd
evangelist prayed, my husband received a word from the Lord that Anna was
healed. So we stopped her meds. She has had no symptoms since July 5th of 2001.
I would also add that during your visit, you were ministering in holy laughter
and during one service I laid on the floor for 2 hours laughing, unable to get
up. I will tell you that that 2 hours of laughing on the floor healed me more
that 10 years of counseling and numerous self-help books. The ministry of Jesus
is awesome and powerful. Our lives continue to be a testimony of healing and
change through the power of God.
God bless you,
Lynn Leaf
