I would like to tell you about my day in Harrogate at the Women's Day. 

But first let me describe a little of my life in the last 5 years. My husband had left to be with another partner. After prayer that I would find another partner, I met the man that I had prayed about, but he was not a Christian. We married and after 4 months he was diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumour. He came to Christ, and died a year later.

We have been learning a bit about the importance of perseverance in our own church in recent months. We are not unused to seeing wonderful demonstrations of God’s healing power and people healed in direct response to prayer ministry. However, two recent cases have reminded us of the importance of persevering in prayer, when we do not see rapid results - of being in it for the long haul.

Five years ago, one of the toddlers in our church family was diagnosed with a life-threatening kidney condition for which there was no known medical cure.

I firstly want to thank you for yet another fantastic year! A big thank you to all the people who do the children's work. They do an amazing job, I think one of the most moving moments was on the day off at the ground breakers celebration all the children standing with there eyes closed, hands lifted singing father god i wonder  - just there voices no music - it was truely magical and so what this is all about its amazing!! it had us all in tears!

In the middle of June i was taken ill. at first they though i had a kidney infection so sent me home with anti biotics. within 12 hours i had had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic and was back in hospital again. they decided to do a scan and found my kidneys were fine but i had a large 6 cm ovarian cyst. when the doctor came to see me after the scan they said it was unusual and could be cancerous and they had to run some tests. that week waiting was awful but eventually they called back and said it wasnt cancerous but a benign tumour that needed to be removed asap as it can have complications. so we had been warned they would try and do it as a key hole procedure but to expect that it would end in a major operation with the removal of my ovary.

We have just returned from the annual New Wine Conference at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, which we attended with other member of St Paul’s . While we were there, my husband George received a miracle of healing from God.

Following a triple heart bypass over 11 years ago, and not being expected to live, George has suffered from congestive heart failure and peripheral vascular disease. This has become progressively debilitating and, according to our vascular surgeon, inoperable in George’s case which meant that he was in constant pain and unable to walk or stand for any length of time. The pain in his legs took the form of severe cramps that came as soon as he made any attempt to walk or stand. Although George has borne this stoically, he had become more and more disabled by this incurable condition and was particularly low just before we went away to New Wine.

On the 13 July 2011, just 2.5 weeks before coming to New Wine, I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that the op that he did on 31 march 2011 had failed and my ankle was totally unstable. I arrived on 31 July on crutches and in an air boot. On the Thursday I started to hear Jesus saying, 'u are going to dance before the king', and the word 'undignified'.

I came to the healing seminar and there was a word of knowledge about someone who has a broken ankle. 5 ladies prayed and about 20 minutes into praying 2 loud clicks were heard. I started to move around as it was painful - it felt like my ankle came into place.

I'm not the best at writing testimony stuff like this but i will give it a try, lol... My family and i along with our church attended new wine N&E this year and had a great week. Being as we have 4 kids juggling groups and worship time at the Impact venue was a bit tough for us but we tried to go as much as possible, all week i did my usual thing of waiting for a specific word for me in the call up to prayer, but i didnt feel that it came so i decided on the last night i would just go up anyway and say right God enough waiting lets have it!

Anyway sure enough at the time for prayer i went up and asked the gentleman who came to pray for a simple prayer, that i would be re-focused fully towards God and his purpose for me. (im a graphic designer and during the new wine week my wife raised concerns that some of my work was seemingly influenced by other things rather than God, until she addressed this i hadnt noticed but as soon as she did it was like a thunderbolt struck me and i saw what she meant)

I just want to say wow.. new wine was amazing this year and GOD is good all the time.

I was in thirst at an evening celebration, and i got two texts - one from my mum and the other from my uncle saying that heidi baker had given the word 'rhumatoid arthrits' for healing prayer... and that is what i had.

We have just got home from New Wine LSE today and had a wonderful week, thanks to everyone for all their hard work. I'm sending this email to keep my side of a bargain I made with the Lord a couple of months ago...

Last year at LSE after one evening talk in Venue 1, we were asked to go forward if we hadn't led anyone to the Lord for a while and wanted to do so again. As I went forward and received prayer, I realised the person I should be leading to the Lord is my Dad. This would be no easy task as my relationship with my Dad is not easy and he's an atheist. I did have one or two conversations with him over the past year, but no progress was made.
