Rose Collins, a dedicated teacher from New York, had always been a pillar of strength in her community. Known for her passion for literature and her unwavering commitment to her students, Rose was the embodiment of resilience and grace. However, her life took a harrowing turn when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. The news shattered her world, leaving her in a state of despair and uncertainty.

Despite the grim prognosis, Rose’s friends and family rallied around her, offering support and encouragement. Yet, deep down, Rose felt an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. She had always been a woman of faith, but now, her faith was being tested in ways she had never imagined.

One rainy afternoon, as Rose was sorting through a box of old books in her attic, she stumbled upon a book she had never seen before. The title caught her eye: “A Gift of Healing.” Intrigued, she flipped it open and discovered that it was written by an Australian man named Tony. As she began to read, she was captivated by Tony’s words. He spoke with conviction about the power of faith and the miraculous healings that had taken place throughout history.

Tony’s writing challenged the conventional wisdom Rose had grown up with. He argued that many people had been misled by centuries of religious interpretations that muddied the simple truth of the Gospel. According to Tony, anyone who came to Jesus for healing left healed, without exception. This assertion resonated deeply with Rose, igniting a flicker of hope within her.

As Rose delved deeper into the book, she came across a passage that struck her profoundly: “If you’ll read this Gospel without your religious-colored glasses on, you will see that everyone who ever came to Jesus to be healed left healed. Every one of them.” Tony emphasized that it was God’s will for everyone to be healed, just as it was His will for everyone to be saved. Healing, he wrote, had already been bought and paid for through Jesus’ sacrifice.

Rose decided to test Tony’s teachings. She followed his guidance, reciting the affirmations he suggested: “I have a Savior, and I’m saved. I also have a Healer, and I’m healed. It is His will to heal me.” At first, she felt foolish, but as she continued, she felt a strange sense of peace wash over her.

Tony’s book also highlighted three reasons why Christians often remain sick: ignorance of God’s will for them to be healed, failure to actively receive healing by faith, and disobedience to God’s plan for their lives. Rose realized she had been guilty of the first two. She had doubted God’s will for her healing and had passively waited for a miracle instead of actively claiming it.

Determined to change her approach, Rose began to pray with a newfound fervor. She asked God to help her believe and receive her healing. She visualized herself as healthy and whole, living a long life filled with purpose and joy. She even began sharing Tony’s insights with her friends and fellow church members, encouraging them to adopt a similar mindset.

Weeks turned into months, and Rose continued her daily affirmations and prayers. Her doctors were amazed at her gradual improvement. They couldn’t explain the remarkable turnaround in her condition. Rose knew, however, that it wasn’t just a medical anomaly. She was experiencing the very miracle Tony had written about.

One day, during a routine check-up, Rose’s oncologist delivered the news she had been praying for: her cancer was in complete remission. Tears of joy streamed down her face as she thanked God for her healing. She felt a surge of gratitude towards Tony, the man who had written the book that changed her life.

Rose’s miraculous healing became a powerful testimony in her community. She continued teaching, sharing her story with her students and inspiring them to believe in the impossible. She also reached out to Tony, expressing her heartfelt thanks and sharing the impact his book had on her life.

In his response, Tony was humbled and overjoyed. He reminded Rose that the true credit belonged to God and that his role had simply been to share the message. Rose agreed wholeheartedly, knowing that her journey from despair to healing was a testament to the power of faith and the boundless love of God.

Rose’s story spread far and wide, touching countless lives. People who heard her testimony began to look at their own challenges with renewed hope. Rose had not only found her own healing but had also become a beacon of light for others, proving that with faith, nothing is impossible.
