JESUS TOTALLY HEALED ME!
Testimony of Neva
Marasty, Meadow Lake, SK -
given at Faith Cathedral, Edmonton (1981)
Praise the Lord! I’m
thankful to Jesus Christ to be here. I am thankful to the Lord that
I can testify for Him. For it was Jesus who healed me. I
give Jesus all the honour and glory for me being alive today. The
name of Jesus is so powerful! There is healing in His Name!
Nine years
ago, I was very sick! I went to doctors and I was in the hospital
almost every week. They couldn’t help me. I had so many
pills to take, that my cupboard was full.
When the
doctors said they couldn’t help me, I started searching in the Indian
ways. Some of our Indian people told me that’s where I would find
spiritual help and healing.
AS I WENT INTO THE INDIAN
CULTURE, THERE
WAS NO ANSWER FOR ME AND I WAS DYING!
One night I
was so sick that we called for the Priest, as I was a Roman Catholic. The
Priest came to the house but all he did was make the sign of the cross.
He turned to leave, even though I grabbed his hand and begged him to
stay. I wouldn’t let him go until he prayed for me, but he
couldn’t! He told my husband that he could not help me.
After he
left, I realized that this man, whom I had trusted all my life, couldn’t help
me, so I called on the Lord Jesus Christ. I said, God, Please take me
home tonight. I am so tired of being in such pain!
I knew
heaven and hell were real and I didn’t want the devil to take me! As
I was asking God to take me, I felt a beautiful feeling come over
me. Such peace and I went to sleep. I dreamed that this
Bible was put in front of me and all the pages were turning from the front to
the back. You see, brothers and sisters, you must believe in the
whole Bible, not just here and there. Every Word of God is true!
When I
awoke, I felt so good and told my mother about my dream. She told me
not to read the Bible because it would make me crazy. I started to
talk to God in my own way and ask Him what I should do .
A few days
later, this Pentecostal preacher came to see me. We didn’t like him
because he used to come to the Reserve all the time and knock on doors and give
out pamphlets and literature.
I WOULD SLAM THE DOOR IN THE
PREACHER’S FACE –
BUT HE WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK!
I finally
started to read the books and tracts he left and I was so surprised! This
man of God was praying for people in the Name of Jesus and they were being
healed.
I called my
husband and signed myself out of the hospital. The doctors and
nurses were upset with me. The next night, my nephew drove me to
Edmonton, and we attended the service at the Revival Centre. There
were many people there. Many were being healed.
As I was
praying, Brother Max Solbrekken came along and as he stretched his hand toward
me, I saw this great bolt of light come towards me and land on my
forehead. I felt a beautiful feeling come all over me! I was
laughing and crying at the same time. I started to speak in tongues and
was filled to overflowing, with the Holy Ghost. I was totally healed!
Praise God!
