Alice Had Blurred Vision

Alice had always been a dedicated mother, and her days revolved around caring for her two young children. Living in Melbourne, Australia, she found solace and strength in her faith, attending the Planetshakers Church regularly. Her life, though busy, was filled with love and purpose.

One bright morning, as Alice prepared to drive her children to school, she was startled by a sudden blurriness in her vision. Alarmed, she rubbed her eyes and blinked rapidly, but the blurriness persisted. The world around her seemed hazy, and she realized that she couldn’t safely drive her kids. Panic set in as she called her husband to help.

Over the next few days, Alice visited doctors and underwent tests, but no clear diagnosis emerged. Her vision remained impaired, and the fear of a permanent condition weighed heavily on her heart. She felt helpless, her once vibrant world now obscured by uncertainty.

One Sunday, desperate for hope, Alice attended a service at Planetshakers Church. As she sat in the pew, listening to the sermon, she heard the pastor’s words resonate deeply within her: “I’ve seen people come back from death’s door. I’ve seen them blossom like flowers in the sunshine, beginning to open up when the Word of God came on them and rained on them. I’ve seen them get stronger and stronger.”

The pastor continued, recounting miraculous stories of healing and restoration. He spoke of people who had been given up for dead but had been revived by their unwavering faith and the power of God’s Word. He shared the story of a man who had been so ill that he had a feeding tube, but through faith, he pulled the tube out and went on to eat a full meal at a Mexican restaurant.

“It makes a difference what church you go to. It makes a difference what you believe and who you hang around. It’s life and death,” the pastor emphasized. “We can look up and say, ‘Lord, I know You can do it. If You would.’ We have heard from heaven. It is written in the Holy Word that heaven and earth are going to pass away, but His Word will never pass away.”

Alice felt a stirring in her spirit. She had heard from heaven, and now she believed it was God’s will for her to be healed. She whispered to herself, “I’ve heard from heaven. I have got my answer. It’s not what men think. It’s in the Holy Word. He told me it is His will.”

With renewed faith, Alice began to pray fervently for her healing. Every morning, she declared the promises of God over her life, reminding herself of the pastor’s words: “He sent His Word and healed them, the Bible says, and delivered them from their death and destruction.”

For three weeks, Alice held onto her faith. Despite the persistent blurriness, she refused to let doubt and fear take root in her heart. She listened to sermons, read scriptures, and surrounded herself with believers who supported her.

Then, one morning, Alice woke up and noticed something different. The world around her seemed sharper, clearer. She blinked and rubbed her eyes, hardly daring to believe it. As she looked around, her vision was restored. Her eyes were completely healed.

Tears of joy streamed down her face as she thanked God for His miraculous touch. She called her husband, who shared in her joy and relief. That day, Alice drove her children to school with perfect vision, her heart overflowing with gratitude.

Alice’s story became a testament to the power of faith and the unchanging Word of God. She shared her testimony with her church, inspiring others to believe in the miraculous power of God’s healing. Alice knew that her journey had strengthened her faith, and she continued to declare the promises of God over her life and her family.

“I’ve seen people come back from death’s door,” the pastor had said, and now Alice could say the same. She had seen the power of God’s Word transform her life, healing her eyes and renewing her spirit. It was a journey of faith, and she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, God’s Word would always be her guide and her strength.

 

Nicole Prayed for a Healing

Nicole stood in the bustling hospital ward, her Texan roots grounding her amidst the sea of chaos. As a nurse in a border town, she worked tirelessly, often with Mexican families who had crossed into the United States seeking a better life. Her days were filled with stories of hardship, resilience, and sometimes, profound sorrow.

One such day, a baby named Maria was admitted in a coma. The doctors had run every test, exhausted every drug, and yet, the tiny infant lay motionless, her life hanging by a thread. Nicole felt an indescribable pull towards this child, a sense of connection that transcended the usual patient-caregiver relationship.

Nicole had always been a woman of faith, though she kept it private, especially in the hospital where science and medicine reigned supreme. But today, as she stood by Maria’s bedside, something within her stirred. She remembered a passage she had once read: “Your faith will make you whole.” It echoed in her mind, a beacon of hope in the darkness of uncertainty.

In the quiet moments between shifts, Nicole would find herself praying for Maria. She did so quietly, almost secretly, knowing that overt displays of faith could be frowned upon. But in her heart, she held onto the belief that faith could move mountains, that it could bring about miracles.

“What is conspicuous for its absence?” Nicole often pondered as she prayed. It was any doubt that it might not be the will of God, any hesitation that suggested they had to wait and see. Nicole’s belief was unwavering: it was according to her faith that Maria would be healed.

One evening, as the sun set and the hospital lights cast a soft glow over Maria’s crib, Nicole felt a surge of determination. She recalled the scripture that had been her anchor: “As you believed, so be it done to you. Your faith made you whole.” She whispered these words, letting them infuse the room with their power.

The doctors had given up hope, but Nicole’s faith did not waver. “It makes a difference what you believe,” she thought. “It’s according to our faith that we’re healed.”

Days turned into nights, and Nicole continued her vigil. She spoke to Maria, telling her stories of hope, of love, and of miracles. She held onto the belief that Jesus himself had said, “Your faith did it.”

One night, as Nicole finished her prayer, a soft cry broke the silence. She looked down and saw Maria’s eyes flutter open. It was a small movement, but it was everything. Nicole’s heart soared. “I’ve seen people come back from death’s door,” she reminded herself, and here was another miracle unfolding before her eyes.

Maria’s recovery was swift. The doctors were baffled, calling it a medical anomaly, but Nicole knew the truth. It was faith, pure and simple. Her faith had made Maria whole. It wasn’t hearsay. Nicole had seen it again and again, and now, she had witnessed it with Maria.

As Maria’s parents wept with joy, Nicole silently thanked God. She knew that many believed healing was solely according to the will of God, but her experience, her faith, had taught her otherwise. “It’s going to happen according to your faith,” she whispered, a smile spreading across her face.

Nicole’s faith had been the difference between life and death for Maria. It was a powerful reminder that in the midst of despair, hope could still flourish, that miracles were real, and that faith, above all, was the key.

“I’ve heard from heaven,” Nicole thought. “I have got my answer. It’s not what men think. It’s in the Holy Word. He told me it is His will.”

And with that, she knew that no matter who, no matter where, and no matter how far gone, faith could heal. As she watched Maria sleep peacefully, Nicole felt a profound sense of peace. She had seen a miracle, and she knew that it was faith that had made it possible.

Susan Went to Nations Church

Susan Reynolds, a fifteen-year-old girl from Boston, had always been full of life, her radiant energy mirrored by her thick, dark hair that cascaded down her back. She was the pride of her family and the star of her high school drama club. But a few months ago, Susan noticed strands of hair falling out when she brushed it, then more and more until it started coming out in clumps. The doctors called it alopecia, but they had no clear solution. Susan’s vibrant spirit dimmed as she watched her hair disappear, her confidence ebbing away with each passing day.

Her mother, Margaret, refused to give up hope. She heard about a place called ‘The Nations Church’ in Orlando, known for its powerful healing services. Although sceptical, Margaret decided to take Susan there, hoping for a miracle. They flew to Orlando, desperate for a sign that things would get better.

The church was a massive, modern building filled with people who had come seeking healing. Margaret held Susan’s hand tightly as they walked in, the weight of her hope almost tangible. The pastor, a tall man with a commanding presence, began the service with an intense energy that filled the room. He spoke of faith, quoting scriptures with a passion that resonated with everyone present.

“Believe ye that I am able to do this?” he asked, his voice echoing through the hall. The congregation responded in unison, “Yea, Lord.”

The pastor continued, “Then touched he their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith be it unto you.’”

Margaret squeezed Susan’s hand, whispering, “Have faith, honey. Believe.”

Susan nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She had always been taught to believe in the power of faith, but her current predicament had shaken her deeply. Still, surrounded by the fervent believers in the church, she felt a flicker of hope reignite within her.

The pastor moved through the crowd, laying hands on those who sought healing. When he reached Susan, he looked into her eyes and asked, “Do you believe that Jesus can heal you?”

Susan, her voice trembling, replied, “Yes, I believe.”

He placed his hand on her head and prayed fervently. The congregation joined in, their voices rising in a harmonious plea for divine intervention. As the prayer ended, Susan felt a strange warmth wash over her, a sensation she couldn’t quite explain.

The next morning, as Susan stood in front of the bathroom mirror, she noticed something incredible. Tiny sprouts of hair were emerging from her scalp. She gasped, calling out to her mother. Margaret rushed in, her eyes widening with joy and disbelief.

“Mom, look!” Susan exclaimed, tears streaming down her face. “It’s growing back!”

Margaret hugged her tightly, both of them crying tears of joy and gratitude. They knew that this was more than just a coincidence. The healing prayer at The Nations Church had sparked something miraculous.

Over the next few weeks, Susan’s hair continued to grow back, thicker and healthier than before. Her confidence returned, and she felt a renewed sense of faith. She went back to school, re-joining the drama club and embracing her life with a newfound vigour.

Reflecting on her experience, Susan often thought about the pastor’s words and the scriptures he had quoted. She realized that it wasn’t just about believing in the possibility of healing but having faith in its certainty.

In Mark 9, a father brought his son to Jesus after the disciples couldn’t heal him. The father said, “If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus replied, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.” This echoed in Susan’s mind. She understood now that faith wasn’t just passive hope but active trust in the power of God.

Susan’s story spread through her community, inspiring many to rekindle their own faith. She often shared her journey, emphasizing the importance of belief and the power of prayer. Through her experience, Susan learned that miracles happen when faith is unwavering, and she lived her life as a testament to that truth.
