Last August (2001) you came to Abbotsford, Canada to minister and minister you did!

A friend of mine, who is in deliverance ministry, told me about your book A More Excellent Way. After reading it, I was anxious to find where you would be teaching. I live in Oregon so Abbotsford seemed close enough. Being the last week in August, it was our week of setup for the new school year. I co-teach and my partner told me to go anyway. That it was too important. God is amazing!

The reason I wanted to attend was due to the fact that my brother-in-law is dying from a heart disease that is generational and I believed he would be healed, if he would attend. Bottom line was that he would not go (even though he is a believer) and instead I was healed! God is so very awesome!!

Try as I might I could find no holes in your teaching. I had even asked my father-in-law (who is a Bible scholar) to come for one day to help me discern if you were right on. God tells us to test everything and so I do. However, your teaching is based solely on His Word and you do not deviate from it. You have also seen how it is misused and abused in the realm of healing and expose those areas for what they are – the enemy’s lies.

I could go on and on regarding my opinions (all positive) of what I saw happen at Abbotsford and how I feel about your ministry, but this letter would be endless. So I will get to the point of my healing.

The healing teams were wonderful. How awesome to use the body of Christ to minister to one another (like we are supposed to, as opposed to one person). Since I had only been there for half of the week I could not minister and though I would have loved to, your rules said I could not.

I asked for a couple of things. I had scoliosis since I was a teenager (I am 51 yrs old) and all the issues that go along with a curved back. I wanted to break all the generational fears and anxieties I inherited from my mother and my Italian/Catholic background. During our time of praying and seeking God, a captain helped us out by explaining the unloving spirit that I also had acquired in a past marriage that was abusive. Quite a package to be carrying all these years. However, I can truly brag on the scripture that “Christ has come to set the captives free”!!!! I am free!!! Gloriously free!!

It was so weird to be free of back pain. God gave me the best adjustment I ever received! I kept expecting it to be there around every turn. What joy in the freedom of physical movement. Truly miraculous!

As extraordinary as this is in and of itself, it was the other deliverance that has freed me in areas I would not have dreamed possible. Being set free from “fear and anxiety” is wonderful. When Philippians says, “be anxious for nothing” I can pretty much go there now. Before I used to think the scripture was for others only. My overall health has improved so much I had to cut way back on the vitamin supplements I used to take (made my husband happy) because my body does not need them! Praise God!

Being released from the “unloving” spirit has also changed many things. I have been surprised at my reactions to things that happen. I seem to be able to handle most situations less emotionally and with a different attitude! I just love accepting God’s love and my family’s. I can see how I used to reject compliments from people and figured if I just did a good enough job as wife, mother, teacher, etc., that would prove I was a worthwhile person. What freedom there is in just being a child of God! How glorious!

I desire to pray with people and help them get well. Unfortunately, there are many people who do not wish to hear your teaching or about my healing. Our church teaches that you cannot be a Christian and have an evil spirit. I now know that is false teaching.

Thank you does not seem adequate for how my life has changed. May God continue to bless you, your family and the ministry.
