My imagination
started running wild
as to what could be
wrong, so I had to
ask the Lord to help
me cast it down.
I didn’t go to the hospital
right away, but my finger continued
to swell. I did everything I knew to keep
it from getting worse, but nothing worked; so
I finally went to the hospital. By that time, my
finger had swelled so much that the doctor had
to put a hole in my fingernail to release the
pressure. The swelling finally did go down, but
I ended up losing my fingernail; and the doctor
said he couldn’t guarantee it would grow back.
I looked to the Lord and prayed, “Lord, I
know you don’t want me to be deformed in any
way, and I know you don’t want me to have
problems with my finger or my nail.” Then I
just trusted God to take care of it. Eventually,
my fingernail grew back, and it now looks like
nothing ever happened to it. That was possible
because I kept my eyes on the Lord and believed
He would move for me no matter what situation
came my way. I give the Lord all the glory.

Ernest Angley Ministries,
I was raised in Canada. I had severe allergies
which started when I was in nursery school, and
I found out when I was in high school that I also
had asthma. I had to get shots and take special
medications for my allergies, and I had to use
inhalers for my asthma. These things affected
my life so much when I was in high school. It
was difficult to study and write my exams, and
it was difficult to participate in activities.
I made my first visit to Grace Cathedral in
Akron, Ohio when I was still in high school,
and I went in the healing line. After Rev. Angley
prayed for me, the asthma and all the allergies I
had dealt with for so long went away. When
I went back home, I was able to show
off my miracles and run with the track
team at school. Everything was completely
gone, and I was so thankful.
Many years later, my family doctor
ordered some tests to be done
on my lungs; and one of those tests
was the same type doctors had done when I
was initially diagnosed with asthma. After
studying all of the findings, my doctor said
three times that I was definitely not asthmatic.
It was nice to have medical confirmation of
what I already knew God had done for me.
Several years later, my immune system was
very low for a period of time; and I had frequent
colds, several bouts of the flu and some
other things back to back. I was also extremely
sensitive to certain allergens; but through
prayer, God brought me out of all of that.
Over 20 years ago, I was having a lot of
weakness; and I started not being able to talk
properly at work. My thoughts were all over
the place, and I was tired all the time. I knew
something was wrong, so I went into the healing
line to get prayer. God revealed to Rev.
Angley that I had a blood tumor about the
size of a grapefruit that was really taking the
life out of me. He let me know that the tumor
was shrinking in the presence of the Lord,
and then he prayed for me. After that, I was
so much better. People even commented how
different I looked.
Several years ago, I was having a lot of pain
on the left side around my lung. When I was
in church, I would have to lean forward in my
chair because I was not able to sit upright. No
matter what way I turned, it was painful.
Again, Rev. Angley prayed for me, and God
let him know that my lung had been knocked
out of place in an accident. I couldn’t remember
anything happening right away; but later, I
remembered that years ago, I had fallen back
in the bathtub when I was cleaning the bathroom
ceiling. At first, I couldn’t breathe; and I
couldn’t even speak to those who were trying
to help me up. Things continued to get worse;
but after prayer, God moved for me.
Lastly, I want to thank Rev. Angley, Rev.
Machamer and Rev. Millar for preaching the
truth. Many preachers cover up the real truth,
but our ministers preach it fully. I appreciate
that, and I am so thankful for all of
them.
