God heals powerfully

The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
The right hand of the Lord is exalted:
The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord. Psalm 118:15-17 (KJV)

The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
The Lord’s right hand is lifted high;
The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the Lord has done. Psalm 118:15-17 (NIV)

On January 22, in our church, we were able to dedicate Raphaël, the 1-year old son of Jiska and Jonathan, in the midst of his family, to our heavenly Father. A happy event! During this service we again reflected about the great miracle our heavenly Papa did for Jiska.

God heals before diagnosis

Some time ago Nadine got troubled by a heavy stomach ache and hard digestion. She almost felt no hunger any more and when she had eaten a little bit, it seemed as if no other bit could be added to it. Now this can happen when you have a viral infection but the symptoms kept on lasting, despite prayer, and they even became worse. Nadine also got pain under the right rib frame. As well Nadine as Ann had to think about gallstones...The entire time they prayed together for healing, but nothing seemed to happen. One day they decided that an ultrasound should be made anyway, in order to be sure what was going on. They shared this with Hugo and Inger. That day, Nadine had to deliver something at their home, and in the hall Hugo laid his hands on her and prayed shortly for healing. From one moment to another all pain and the feeling of a heavy weight vanished and Nadine was hungry again... of course no examination has been made...

A complicated procedure unnecessary thanks to the prayer box

On the 3rd May Luc sent us this mail:

“Beginning of March I asked the brothers and sisters of my church, the Christian church of Londerzeel, and a few good friends for prayers. One of my friends, Cora, put my prayer request in your prayer box. Today I want to share how the Lord answered our prayer.

Because of cardiac arrhythmias, my cardiologist told me a complicated procedure that could take several hours would be necessary. Without the surgery the condition of my heart would deteriorate and I was at risk for a stroke. However the cardiologist agreed to postpone the surgery a while and put me on medication in the mean time. He thought there was little chance for a healing. I told him I would ask my brothers and sisters to pray for me.

I asked you to pray. Prayer for healing: a heart that is beating normally. Prayer to have joy, peace and quiet that passes understanding. Prayer for wisdom when taking decisions and wisdom for the doctor when analyzing, evaluating and advising. Prayer for Ritje, my dear wife.

God is good. As from 7th March I had no more dizziness, fatigue, palpitations or any other discomfort. I received everything I asked for in prayer. All the time I felt carried and supported by your prayers and I was confident of a good outcome. God would see to that. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God (Romans 8:28). This promise is for me.
It is a certainty that is firmly secured in my heart. My brothers and sisters, and that is each one of you, have stood in the gap for me.

Cora had given us a copy of Hugo Van Leemputten’s book “Genezen van Kanker“ (=Healed of Cancer). A special story, a story about learning to trust God and hold on to His promise. It was very encouraging for me. It is certainly recommendable and not only for those who are ill.

As agreed, Ritje and I went back to the doctor for an examination. When taking the ECG the doctor let slip that my heart was beating calmly. Likewise with the cycling test my heart rate wasn’t too fast. When the tests were finished, the doctor came to discuss the results with us. He was leafing through my medical file, then he turned to us saying: “Mr.Cauwenbergh, it looks like you have healed yourself.” It took a little while before I realized what he just said, then I replied: ”People have been praying for me, doctor.” “You have a lot of support from this Christian community,” the doctor remarked. I could only agree.

The complicated surgery that could take several hours is no longer necessary. In November I have to return for a check up and I still need to take medication, but I already know now that this is not the end of this story.

I want to thank you all for your prayers and your warm heart. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17).
I received a wonderful present from Father and your prayers delivered it to my. The LORD is good, His love endures forever, His faithfulness unto all generations.”
