Authoritative prayer eating without pain

One of our church members tells you her story:

“On Monday morning 18th May: after a few bites of breakfast my left lower jaw started hurting horribly. I prayed immediately and commanded the pain to leave in Jesus’ Name. It hurt so much I had to wait after each bite before being able to take a new one. It took quite some effort to finish my breakfast.
Before lunch I prayed again. As I started to eat the pain returned. I ate again with great difficulty, even having a yoghurt hurt tremendously!

That afternoon I met with Ann and Hugo. I told them what happened and of course they prayed for me.

Fasting days: a unique event

From 24 to 26 January we had again a few fasting days, this time in “de Boerekreek” in St.-Jan-in-Eremo (East-Flanders). It was the first time we went to this location and that always gives some extra tension. Will the rooms be ok? Will it be warm enough over there? Last year in the Ardennes it was very cold the first day since the heating was not up in time…
We were warmly welcomed by the staff of “de Boerekreek” and we got the restaurant for our meetings. The rooms were very clean and all rooms had a separate bathroom with a shower and a toilet and it was nicely warm everywhere, which is very nice when fasting a few days.

We enjoyed times of marvelous worship, powerful studies, many moments of silences – In which we could soak or go for a walk in the beautiful nature surrounding the center – and times of prayer for each other, the country, our churches and many other subjects.
As Tamara put it nicely: “We have been fed very well once again!”

The shoulder of a 81 year old heals completely

Theo, nearly 82 years old, can still work hard and he bicycles a lot.
He wholeheartedly believes Father’s promise in Psalm 92:12-15:

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing to shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

And that is his testimony wherever he goes and people ask him how come he is still in such good health
A few years ago Theo fell when riding his bicycle and hurt his left shoulder very badly. At first he could only move his forearm, the shoulder was frozen. With persistent prayer the condition improved. He could move his shoulder again but working was still off limits. His brother had asked him to come and repair a roller shutter at his place. Theo replied it wasn’t possible because of his shoulder.

When Jan Sjoerd Pasterkamp preached in our church on Sunday 9th March he had some words of knowledge at the end of the service. One was that somebody who had hurt his left shoulder in an accident or a fall, was now healed. Immediately Theo thanked Father silently and added he would go help his brother with that shutter.

On Monday he went to his brother. The shutter was stuck in the header box above so Theo had to work with his two arms up in the air to get it fixed… it was a tough job! He worked very hard with both his shoulders and he had no pain whatsoever… his shoulder was completely healed!
Theo is very grateful to Father, and he tells about it everywhere and he is also working very hard again with that shoulder!
