EVIDENCES OF SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING.
Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine
iniquities;
Who healeth
all thy diseases.-Psa. ciii:23
Since receiving
the following account of Miss Leo’s healing, we have had the privilege of
meeting this dear young sister, and hearing from her own consecrated lips the precious
story of Jesus’ healing love.-Editor
Dear Miss
Judd:
Most
gladly do I give you the account of my sickness and healing, and I trust you
can use it for the Master’s glory.
I had
been ill for over three years with spinal difficulty occasioned by a sever fall
nearly four years ago. At times I suffered intense pain, and nothing seemed to
help me for any length of time, although we tried many physicians and various
medicines.
The last
medicine that I tried I used for about two months, but as I constantly grew
worse during that time I discounted it about six weeks before my healing. Since
that time I have taken no medicine of any kind.
Several
weeks previous to my healing I was visited by Mrs. Rev. J.A. Kummer who told me
that she had been cured in answer to “they prayer of faith,” and that she knew
the same blessing was in store for me.
It was
difficult for me, who had not walked a step, without assistance, for over three
years, to believe that in answer to prayer I should be made “every whit whole.”
Mrs. Kummer and my sister at once commenced to pray earnestly for my recovery,
and that my faith might be increased, as it was at first very weak. Gradually
my faith strengthened until I could grasp the truth, “The prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up.”-(James v: 15.) We wrote to you and to Dr. Cullis to unite
with the friends here in praying for my recovery. I knew that while our Saviour
was on earth, He healed all the sick who came to Him in faith, and knowing,
also, that Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, today and forever,” I just
trusted Him with all my heart, and He did heal “all my diseases,” and forgave “all
my iniquities.” When in answer to our earnest prayers my faith became strong
enough to say “I am healed<” and to act upon that faith, I
found myself made strong and well and all pain had left my back. Although a few
months before my healing I was lying on my bed suffering intensely, yet as soon
as I believed, and rose and walked in Jesus’ name, the suffering all
left me; although my “steps of faith” fell on the “seeming void,” yet I did
“find the Rock beneath.” According to my faith it had been done unto me,
and I found myself “strong in the Lord,” and able to walk about with perfect
ease.
All that
I can do now is to praise the Lord, and to use the strength He has given me to
His glory.
“Bless
the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name.”
Mamie J. Leo.
