I INJURED MY NECK IN 1961
By Sandra Lee Antle, Bishops Falls, Nfld

      I had injured my neck in 1961 and had a lot of pain.  The doctors didn’t seem to know what to do about it.  So, I just lived with it.  I would have terrible headaches. 
      In 1968 we had our first child and a few months later I was paralysed from the waist down.  I went to several doctors and they had no answers. 
      Finally I went to a chiropractor and what he did was wonderful.  I was able to walk but I was left with my right side out of alignment and my right leg was 2 inches shorter than my left leg. 
      We went to Lewisporte, Newfoundland because we heard Brother Solbrekken would be holding healing services.  I started having terrible headaches in the middle of the service and I thought I would have to leave. 
      That’s when Brother Solbrekken called out: “Someone’s here tonight with neck and back problems.  Raise your hand”. I really thought it could be me.  Then Brother Solbrekken said: “You’ve been to chiropractors and they’ve done all they can do.  Raise your hand”.  I said it is me but I had better wait.  Brother Solbrekken called out: “your one leg is shorter than the other.  Raise your hand”. 
     I raised my hand as fast as I could and as high as I could.  Then he asked me to come forward.  I sat in the chair and he measured my legs.  My right leg was indeed 2 inches shorter than my left leg. 
      He prayed for me and all of a sudden my leg started pushing out until it reached the length of my left leg.  Praise God. 
      Not a limp, perfectly even.  I’m still telling about it.  That was 34 years ago! I praise the Lord for His mercy and grace in my life and for His healing and delivering power! Amen.


THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO I GAVE MY HEART
TO CHRIST IN YOUR CRUSADE CRUSADE!
By Richard Randall, Bishops Falls, Nfld.
 
      On June 1st, 1969, I attended one of your Gospel meetings at Emanuel Convention Centre at Lewisporte, Newfoundland.
      You preached the Word of God under the rich anointing of the Holy Spirit.  During the whole service, God was dealing with me.  I felt that I should be saved but thinking that I would wait for another time.
      After finishing your message that evening, you said that God had spoken to your heart telling you that 16 souls should come to the altar for salvation in that service.  Well, I thought to myself: “I’ll wait and if 16 goes forward then it doesn’t mean me.”  
      But, as those thoughts were going through my mind, it was as a voice said directly to me, “You are to be the first.”  I could no longer resist the working of the Spirit and I arose from my seat and almost ran forward and immediately felt lighter as the load of sin was gone.
      And I’ve never looked back to the world since.  It’s been a most wonderful 36 years and I love the Lord with all my heart.
       Since my walk with the Lord, I came down with a stroke, causing me to lose strength in all my left side including the left side of my face, affecting my speech. 
        That night my pastor from Bishops Falls visited me and prayed for me.  I went to sleep and when I awoke a few hours later I realized that God had touched me and gave me complete healing.  Praise His Name!
       I thank you for sharing the precious Word of God with me and pray that God will continue to use you to reach many others for Him!
 
GOD DELIVERED OUR GRANDCHILD
FROM A VERY SERIOUS SICKNESS!
By Pastor Claude Desjarlais, Edmonton, AB
     Three years ago when our granddaughter, Brooklynne, became seriously ill God broke through with a miracle!
     The doctors could not diagnose her problem with a CT scan until they did an MRI. Then, they found deep in the frontal lobe area of her brain a very large life - threatening blood cloth!
     We did not know how serious the problem was when she complained of headaches and earaches and loss of appetite!
     The doctors had no answer and we were at a loss to know what was causing these aches! These pains had continued for several months and while we were at Kitimat, B.C. she complained of earaches. We thought perhaps it was the altitude!
       It was so hard for me to preach and minister to the people when she was so sick!
       Not long after, during a Sunday service while I was preaching in Edmonton, Brooklynne become seriously ill. Her eyes crossed and she turned pale. My wife Evelyn and daughter Sherri rushed her to the hospital immediately. And when the doctors found the large blood cloth, they immediately began administering a blood- thinning drug.
      Realizing how seriously ill she was, I went out to my truck to pray and weep before the Lord. I felt so alone, so sad and everything looked so hopeless. Then, a name was dropped into my spirit: “Call Pastor Max Solbrekken.”  The devil whispered: “It’s no use. He won’t be at home. He’s probably overseas in a crusade somewhere.”
     I almost didn’t call. While I was dialing he said: “You’ll only get the answering service. He won’t answer anyway!” The answering service came on and my heart dropped. I desperately needed someone to pray with me for Brooklynne. He whispered: “Don’t bother leaving a message.” I wasn’t going to, but I did! I said: “Pastor Max, Are you there? I need to talk to you!”
     Immediately, I heard a voice: “Hello Claude, my son, how are you?” I poured out my heart to him and we had a powerful prayer meeting! God gave us the victory and the assurance that all would be well! And within a week, Brooklynne was out of the hospital with no complications. She has been perfectly well since that time. Hallelujah and Glory to God!

GOD’S MIRACLES LAST!
says Margaret Montour, Hobbema, AB

     I WAS ROLLED INTO FAITH CATHEDRAL IN MY WHEELCHAIR IN 1981.  AFTER PRAYER BY PASTOR MAX SOLBREKKEN, I STOOD TO MY FEET & ROLLED THE WHEELCHAIR BACK TO THE HOSPITAL ALONE!

      On November 5, 1980 I was involved in an automobile accident.  My spine was seriously injured and I became paralysed from my chest down and could not walk at all.
On January 3, 1981, I was taken to Faith Cathedral and Pastor Max Solbrekken prayed a strong prayer for me.
I was instantly healed and pushed my wheelchair all the way back to the hospital alone.  Praise God!

Editor’s Note:  Margaret is still well in 2006.  All glory to God!
