True Story No.1, by Belma Vardy
(an extract from Catch the Fire by Guy Chevreau, 1994)
As I lay on the floor at the Toronto Airport church, I felt
a beautiful presence come all over me.....I felt my physical body unable to get up, and as I 'rested',
I had what I best describe as an 'out of body' experience.
I saw myself walking in lush green pasture, hand in hand with Jesus. We came to a river, and He told me that this was the "River of Life" which flowed from the throne of God (as described in
Revelation Chapter 22 at the end of the Bible). As we walked further into the river, I noticed the water flowing through my leg, not around it. As we continued to walk,
I felt a refreshing feeling flow through my body from my toes up to my head.
After three hours resting on the floor, I struggled up and had to be driven home. That night I was woken up at 2 a.m. I was immediately
wide awake, and heard a voice say, "Look at your leg!" [For six years I had had a growth on my leg, which had started out as a rash, but by
March 1994, it covered an area of about 4 x 2 inches; the skin was raised and extremely irritating, itchy and painful. I had been to the doctor many times with it, and had been told
it was a skin condition which I would have for life, and there was nothing they could do for me.]
When I woke up, I knew immediately to look at my leg where they growth was. It was TOTALLY GONE! I gasped and started touching the spot, and it felt so smooth, like new skin. I thought I was dreaming,
and found it hard to digest - that God would love me so much as to heal me!
True Story No.2, by Dorothy Carlson
I have received healing from Arthritis in my
Hands and Feet!
I couldn't drive the car without pain in my hands and feet,
because of arthritic pain. During prayer at the Catch the Fire
conference in Toronto,
I felt heat in my hands very intensely,
and the pain left.
It doesn't hurt to write anymore!

where many such healings continue to take place; you can watch their meetings online via the Revive TV page...but God can heal you ANYWHERE!

True Story No.3, by Bob Brasset, Extreme Healing, Canada
In 1996, Peter deJong, a successful businessman and a well known youth evangelist was seriously impaired in a car accident. The injuries were so severe from whiplash, soft tissue injury and neurological damage that the doctors gave him a permanent lifetime invalid status and pension. He was for years in constant pain, unable to work or lift objects. He couldn't remember many of his friends or where he lived or even what day of the week it was. His business went down and down, hovering on bankruptcy, even though others were attempting to manage it for him.
Then he heard that Bob Brasset, a personal friend and healing evangelist from Canada would be coming to Holland. His friends urged him to go to the healing meetings. He replied, "I'm too sick to go but if you prepare a bed for me in the balcony of the auditorium then perhaps I could go for a brief time. Then he had another idea. "I'll invite Bob to my home for a cup of tea." He did so and as they sat drinking tea the power of God came in the room and completely healed him.
The next day Peter was able to drive Bob to Belgium, a journey that took about five hours. That same night, as he joined Bob as a member of Bob's healing team, Peter began healing people. He hasn't stopped since. His business thrived and greatly prospered. Today, Peter ministers all over the world with a miracle anointing similar and equally as effective as that of his friend Bob Brasset.
True Story No.4 by Dr Paul Poonraj, Cardiothoracic Surgeon from Chennai, India
An 80-year-old businessman, living in Chennai, had to depend on an artificial heart pumping controller for 20 years,
and had an operation. Because he was too old, the result of surgery was not good
and he did not seem to get well.
I put the handkerchief on him and earnestly prayed for him with faith. To my surprise, in a very short time,
he recovered his health and threw away that artificial heart pump.
In the January of 2004, another man who was in need of a coronary artery bypass surgery was brought to me,
and I immediately began the surgery since it was a simple, straightforward bypass graft surgery
that did not require a cardiopulmonary pump. As I was sealing the patient's chest, his condition became critical all of a sudden as his electrocardiogram became abnormal and his blood pressure plummeted.
I made various efforts to recover him in vain, and I thought I should declare he was almost dead. But relying on God, I knelt down on the ground and prayed to God with the handkerchief the Korean minister had prayed over, in my hands.
Suddenly the patient's condition had turned completely for the better and his electrocardiogram had become normal. Hallelujah!
True Story No.5 - Are Heaven and Hell Real?
"I entered this opening to find myself inside a long narrow passageway or tunnel - at the far end of the tunnel I could see the source of the light - it was so radiant that it looked to be the centre of the universe. As I continued to look towards this light it seemed to draw me towards it at an incredible speed - I wasn't walking but was being translated along this tunnel towards the source of this light. I watched as a wave of light broke off the source and moved up the tunnel towards me - as it passed through me I could feel a wave of warmth and comfort flood my soul … it was incredible. This light wasn't just physical, but was giving off a living emotion … Halfway down another wave of light - this time it gave off pure peace - followed by another wave - of pure joy. Coming out of the end of this tunnel I found myself standing in the presence of awesome light and power - it seemed as though even the constellations in the universe must find their energy source from this focal point.
As I stood there I wondered to myself if this was just an energy source in the universe or if perhaps there could be someone standing in the midst of this light!!!!! A voice immediately responded to my thought and asked me "Ian, do you wish to return?" Return, I thought!!! Where am I??? As I looked over my shoulder I could see the tunne1 going back into darkness."
This is part of the story of New Zealander Ian McCormack, a young man who was out to explore the world, enjoy life and not give any thought to God or eternity...however, his mother never failed to pray for him every day. Everything changed for Ian when one night he was diving off the coast of Mauritius with his friends, fishing for lobster, when suddenly he was stung five times on his bare arm by the world's second deadliest animal, the box jellyfish.
As the poison worked its way up his arm and into his nervous system and vital organs, he felt his body losing strength and death coming ever closer...however, nobody wanted to help him until it was almost too late! When the ambulance finally arrived to take him to hospital, he found scenes from his entire life flashing before his eyes, and some words from a prayer his mother taught him coming into his mind:
"Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
Thy will be done"
Once he arrived in hospital, there was a struggle to save his life, which failed because by that time all his veins had collapsed and he could feel icy death creeping through all his bones, until his spirit left his body and went on the journey described above.
