The Power of the Testimony

I think the story that follows is a great example of the power that is resident within each testimony.

A church in Atlanta had a guest speaker from another state. He told the story of how he had suffered with a hernia, though he had prayed for healing, he ended up having surgery. Not long after his recovery, he went on a missions trip. Following one of the services, people were coming up for prayer. One of the people wanted prayer for the healing of a hernia. Imagine the thoughts that would go through your head, "How can I pray for healing of the very thing I had to have surgery for?". He prayed. The hernia sucked back into the persons body like jello through a straw. The next several people in the prayer line all had hernia problems and all were miraculously
healed! Never underestimate the goodness of God.

A man from Fayetteville was attending the church service in Atlanta listening to the guest speaker and heard the testimony of the hernia healing. The next week at work one of his co-workers was complaining of pain from a hernia. The Fayetteville man prayed for his co-worker and the hernia sucked back into the body. Totally healed! The next week at church the Fayetteville man gave the testimony of the healing that had taken place at his work.

A woman from Thomaston was in that church service and heard the man from Fayetteville give the testimony of the hernia healing. She attended an outreach in downtown Atlanta with a group that included people from Byron and Warner Robins. During this outreach the Thomaston woman had an opportunity to pray for a man with a hernia the size of a baseball sticking out of his abdomen. She told the testimonies of the previous hernia healings. She had the man put his own hand on his hernia and she placed her hand on top of his hand. She prayed and the hernia sucked back into his body. Totally Healed! She couldn't believe it herself, this was the first time she had someone healed from her own hands.

Because one man chose to release the Kingdom of God and not get offended by his lack of healing, the testimony was born that propelled others to receive their healing.
