Dear Mr. and Mrs. Price:
I am sorry it has taken me so long to write back, but I got a hold of some bad food or something and had problems with my stomach. God has really been tugging at my heart during the day and even during the night for me to write a testimony. I am not a real good writer, so I will jus t have to pray to God to put the words that are in my mind on paper for me.
I don't know where to begin, but I know that I need to write to let people know how truly powerful and awesome God really is! You see, I have been a Baptist all my life. I was raised as a Baptist, where I was saved and baptised with water as a young child.
Back in 1992, I learned that I have multiple sclerosis and have been dealing with this disease which has no cure since that time. Periodically, I would get on IV treatment when I would have an exacerbation, which is the worsening of my disease.
I know the one particularly time, I had been on treatment and I met this girl who was a cashier at the store I was at, at that time. She asked me what was wrong and I told her I had MS.
She told me that the Prices were going to come to their church here in Texarkana, and how they had been annointed by God to heal. She said a girl with MS had been healed at her church last year, and how she was doing great at this time. Well, weeks past. The time came for the service to be held. I told my husband I wanted to go.What I didn't realize was the amazing experience I was going to encounter.
The girl I met, saw me and asked to to go forward because they were talking about
healing. I told her I didn't understand, because they didn't do that kind of stuff in the Baptist church. She talked me into going up where I met Brother Price. I let him know that I didn't think i would fall down like the other people, because at this point I didn't even know if this was real. I told him I did believe that God could heal me. Never in my mind would have dreamed what took place after. Brother Price prayed for me, and lo and behold before I knew it I was down on the floor Never, in all my days have I ever experienced God's presence in such a real and powerful way. Next thing I know, Ms. Colleen came over and asked me if I wanted to be Baptized in the Holy Spirit, I told her I had been baptised in water by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, but at this point if there was anything else that God wanted to let me have I wanted it and I was Baptized in the Holy Spirit.
It was just amazing, more than I can ever begin to write in words. They said when you feel the manisfestation of God you have a wonderful power over you, and let me tell you there is so much truth in this. Before, I knew it I started speaking and tongues. I am in so much awe, i had to go back to our Baptist church to discuss it with our preacher. He said there is truth in it, and he would never take away a religious experience that someone had encountered. He even told me that he has asked God to let him speak in tongues, if it was his desire for him to, but instead God gave him the gift to preach.
I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful feeling it is to feel God's presence all over you, It is just amazing. Not, only has God let me feel His presence in a real way. He has also began the healing process in my body beyond amazement. I use to
have to use crutches, and could barely use my left leg, and would just have to drag it behind me. If I went to church, if we stood to sing, I would have to stand with my crutches, or use the support of my husband or whoever else that is near. Now, I don't even carry crutches with me whereever I go.
I have had people at my church, look at me and ask me why I wasn't
having to use my crutches, and I tell them it is all the power of God-GLORY TO GOD!!!!! Now, whenever I can get to tell people about what God has done for me and about the experience I had when I felt God's presence. I try to let them know all about it. It is so real and wonderful to know that God is there for us and He wants us to be well.
