Just a few stories from people who have been healed, or who are well in the process of their healing, following God's wonderful intervention in their lives.... Truth is, most people don't write, some I never hear from, so if you're reading this, and you've been healed, let me know, please?

Thanks for coming to see us the other week, it was a much needed boost for us all. One answer to prayer that I know of is that the little boy Sam who didn't speak at all is now speaking quite a few words much to every ones delight.

I really do appreciate your prayers as I should have told you in my first e-mail that God gave me such a sense of peace after you prayed with me. It had been many years since I had sensed God's touch on my life in such a tangible way.

You prayed for me last Friday night during your recent visit to Southside, Ayr, and I wanted to say a big “THANK YOU” to you for your faithfulness to God and for coming here. I’m the one who needs the new lungs and I’m believing for that. I’ve felt so much better these last few days and am boring the pants off everyone telling them! Although I still have the symptoms, these have lessened and I have more energy. I’ve had a problem sleeping for about 10 years and although I didn’t share this with you, since Friday I’ve slept like a log for four out of the past five nights – it’s fantastic! Praise God!
Ishbel, Ayr, Scotland
Just wanted to tell you. We listened to you in Agape, Stockholm a couple of weeks ago. On sunday, you prayed for a prayercloth which my husbands mother was going to receive. She says: every time her back hurts or her joints in her hands hurt - she put on the cloth and the pain goes so she can sleep. She's very grateful for the prayercloth.
She's had nervepain in her back for many years. The doctors say they cant cure her. And now her joints in her hands has begun to lock ... (I don't really know how to explain it). She's got pain almost every hour of the day.
So I would like you to pray for her - so that all of her pain leave her body. I think that she needs to see healing in her body - it would surely strengthen her faith.

Thank you for praying for me when in (Swedish city) . You prayed for a child I've asked for who had a brain tumour. A lot of people in Borås do pray for her, since I don't know her family I can't really testify about it, but all I can say is thank God, her family fought hard for her and where there first was no hope there is now.
You prayed for me, and I have to admit I was a bit sceptical. I've had problems with a syndrome affecting my hormones, periods, ovaries and uterus for the past 20 years. I've had numerous tests and ultrasounds, I KNOW what they usually show. A month after you prayed, thank God, I had an appointment with a new doctor. He did the tests again, and lo and behold, they were almost normal, since the doctor had not yet recieved my journals he was sceptical to my description of my problems.
Since you prayed for me I've been regular, this time like clockwork. Maybe that sounds like nothing to a guy, but for a woman who basically haven't experienced that for decades, trust me it's something.
I 've still got a hard time believing that it might be as good as it seems, but I thank the Lord for it as it is now.
So, bless you
and thank you

I was blind in my left eye, and after prayer from Paul at Green Street Green Baptist Church, God gave me back my sight. The next day, I went to my doctor to tell him, and his only response was 'It's a miracle!'

Matt, aged about 18, was going deaf, and during a meeting in Exeter, God restored his hearing to him...
Matt, Exeter, England
I had major problems with the right foot, for a number of years. The tendons had burst, the 'fat pad' between the toes had ruptured, and the arch had fallen. I was not able to walk without support shoes, and then in extreme pain in my foot and my leg. I could not walk without shoes, even in the shower. Friday (18 April) Paul prayed with me, and within minutes amazing sensations were happening in my foot, and I was able to walk, spin on it, and jump. Praise the Lord!!
Jean, Williamsburg, USA
I thought I would give you an update on my mother, Agnes. I was at the hospital today with her for her check -up. Her blood count is Normal. The doctor said they could not find what had caused the illness and that maybe it was a one off !
Reading between the lines as doctors are bit reluctant to say they don't know. I think whatever was there has been removed by the Lord when you prayed for her and there is no trace left of anything that caused the blood count to drop so dramatically.
Alan Gouck, Bangor, Northern Ireland (April 2008)
My mother, Agnes, had a serious blood disorder. When she had been taken into hospital ,toward the end of last year ,her blood count was so low that the doctor told her if she had waited any longer on being admitted she would no longer be around. My mother had a telephone call on Friday from her G.P . The doctor had received a letter from the hospital and the Doctor told my Mother " Her blood Count was Great".
Alan Gouck, Bangor, Northern Ireland (March 2008)
Hey. Do you wanna know what I did today? I ran up through a long escalator and up some more stairs and 2 more shorter escalators. All in a row!!!!! Sure it took a while for me to catch my breath again. Hardly no pain in the foot, knee, leg. Sure, the back and the hip didnt like that, but they have to get used to it. I'm not stopping!
Anne, Stockholm
Ulrika, from Sweden, a long-time Multiple Sclerosis sufferer...
you said yourself that you want to have reports.. I just have to tell you that I just a few minutes ago talked with my friend Ulrika (the one with MS) in the phone and she asked if you had prayed for her. I said that you said you would, so I believe so yes. Then she told me. She have had this "strange feeling" since that day. Today she could stand on one leg and put on her jeans without falling. Then she thought she was gonna be bold and try to spin around on the floor without feeling dizzy or falling. NO PROBLEM! She is so happy about that. Really excited. She thinks that her next step would go driving in a circular (what is it called?). She will drive lap after lap. She couldnt do that before, cause she got so dizzy and naucious. yes she still have her drivinglicence and are allowed to drive. She knows who to thank. GOD! Today she met a friend and she said how "fresh she looked". Ulrika didnt understand a thing. She have been battling with broncitis, hadnt even taken a shower that morning.. I just laughed when she told me.. told her that other people sees her appearance in a another way than she see.. And she sounded much happier than in a long time..
Anne Lucca, Stockholm, Sweden
Well, yes the appearance is getting better! They're nearly completely normal now its great! The appointment is at 7.15 tonight so I'll email you later to let you know how it goes (Im not expecting a reply straightaway or anything!)
Next day update from Jennifer Gouck (two stories down) ahead of a visit to the doctor who tonight will decide whether she needs inserts for non-existent foot arches...
I thought I would give you an update on my family and whats been happening.
My brother - his foot has healed, with regards to his back you had said 2 weeks so I will send you the good news when the 2 weeks are up. My mother had a telephone call on Friday from her G.P . The doctor had received a letter from the hospital and the Doctor told my Mother " Her blood Count was Great ". As you know it was a very serious blood disorder she had .When she had been taken into hospital ,toward the end of last year ,her blood count was so low that the doctor told her if she had waited any longer on being admitted she would no longer be around.
I expect to hear more good news over the coming weeks and I will pass it on as soon as I can.
Alan Gouck, Towerview Free Methodist Church, Bangor, N. Ireland - Alan's wife Barbara was wonderfully healed of arthritis in December, and her own story is further down this page... Alan recommitted his life to the Lord as a result of Barbara's healing!
I hope you remember me..Im Jennifer Gouck (Im Alan and Barbara's daughter) from Towerview Free Methodist in Bangor? You prayed for my feet?

I'm really emailing you for is just to ask that you'd keep praying as I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday (18th March) and I dont want to have to go away needing those inserts the doctors have for me!
Jennifer Gouck, Towerview Free Methodist, Bangor, N Ireland - seems like God is on the Gouck family case, huh?!!!
Hey Paul it's Laura here...you prayed for me on Sunday night at Towerview Free Methodist because i'd pulled all the ligaments in my foot, when i woke up on Monday morning there was a dramatic difference in my foot, I am now able to walk at a normal pace without straining my foot at all! I also don't need to wear my support for it anymore so thats great! thank you for praying for me!

Andy Putz, from Bangor, Northern Irealnd, photographed 7 March 2008, when realistically he should have been dead some three months ago. Andy suffered from Motor Neurone disease, Parkinson's disease, and Diabetes: Paul prayed for himin September 08, and saw him again the following Friday, when he'd been to the hospital for a regular checkup. They found NONE of the diseases, and will, at best, even now say that they 'can't find them'....

Last Thursday at Bible study we were talking about the day you ministered at Tree of Life, because one of the men there that day received a healing in his knee. You probably recall that he had put a> nail into his kneecap with a nail gun, well he shared last Thursday how the guy from England prayed for him and after 12 years of pain his knee was healed.

Hello Paul
It’s Barbara here. I’m at lunch in work and I have just logged onto your website and was very pleased to see I was mentioned in your blog today.
My husband Alan and I were with you on Sunday past when you came to Towerview Methodist Church in Bangor. Since you prayed for me for relief from the arthritis in my knees I have not had to take any painkillers. My mobility is so much better and the swelling at my knees has started to reduce.
I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for both Alan and myself. Alan was talking to you after the prayer meeting on Tuesday night. This was a big thing for him as due to his anxiety he wouldn’t have dreamt of being able to sit within a group of people without taking tremors in his hands and having a very dry mouth. I have lost count of the number of times I have been left at school events as Alan just couldn’t cope.
I have been telling anyone who will listen about what has happened to me and will continue to do so.
Barbara Gouck , Towerview Free Methodist Church, Bangor, NI
I Praise and thank God for giving me my voice back after having no voice for five months.
It was during our church service when Paul Bennison prayed with me that my voice came back immediately.
I have had no trouble since and my voice has remained strong since. Also I have been able to testify in the church on 2 occasions to what God has done.

I wanted to tell you that one little patient doesn't need a surgery; because his head is normal now after your prayer. He had a craniosynostosis starting but it no longer continued and his deformity is disapearing.
Dr Dunia Quiroga, Consultant Neurosurgeon, Cali, Colombia, who took me into Club Noel, the children's hospital as well as numerous other hospitals
Paul we had a divine appointment with you one Sunday in the Free Methodist church in N.I. a month or so ago. You asked how we where when my wife and I first met you at the alter, our reply to you to your surprise was not very good. You could see and feel that was the case. I had had a severe pain in my chest for about 3 years,like a heart attack but 24/7, with a pain level of about 7 out 10 on a twenty four bases. I also had a great pressure on my both shoulders , like someone had me in a bear hug or had a rope around my upper body applying pressure on my shoulders 24/7. We had prayed ,our pastor,friends etc. all had prayed but the pain and pressure still remained. This pain and pressure had all been medically checked out but always with no answers. As we talked and you laid hands on us ,you saw that the devil had placed a huge demon around my neck, this demon was sitting on my shoulders, straddling my head, thus causing the pain and pressure to my shoulders and chest. I'm not sure why this was being aloud and still haven't found out why but as you prayed and spoke of these things the pressure seemed to start to recede. You told us that with in four days the pain and pressure would be gone and praise God with in those four days it did totally leave not to ever return. You did pray for other things that had been happening in our lives and for our two girls, Praise God for obedient servants. We are hearing of many other people that have been touched by God from your last visit, we're all looking towards God for more miracles and blessing through your ministry when you come back to Northern Ireland.
Praise God, God is so good,
Doug, Sheila, Rebekah, Beth Johnson, Northern Ireland, Free Methodist Church, Bangor.
Hi Paul!
You probably don't remember me but we met at West Church, Bangor on the Friday evening of your healing services. Charles, my good friend, introduced us. I had just had surgery following a diagnosis of bowel cancer. You prayed with me focusing on my forthcoming scans which were worrying me greatly. You prayed that the cancer would be taken completely from me. I have now had a full body PET scan and yesterday heard the wonderful news that it is clear. I have one more liver scan on Oct 22nd but have been greatly encouraged by yesterday's news. The last few weeks, since the scan, have been anxious but I want you to know that in those dark moments, and there were many, I focused greatly on your words to me that Friday evening. Your prayers for my healing never left me, encouraging and reassuring me throughout. I feel truly blessed that God led me to you that Friday evening and that He continues to lead me along a road of recovery. God's blessings to you in your continued travels and work.
Christine Dickson
Hi Paul
Just to let you know that Ella's surgeon said that he thought Ella was a 'little miracle' when we went to see him on Thursday. he doesn't want to see us for 6 months!
Praise the Lord!
See you soon I hope
Love
Richard
Hello Paul,
It's Jen here that you prayed for on the last day with baby Jude (born profoundly deaf). Thanks for your prayers. We took baby Jude for a check up at the hospital today and he was making a response to noises today which hasn't previously happened!! He is going for a full blown hearing test in September so that will be exciting as he made absolutely no response at his last one and was declared profoundly deaf. I also am off all my painkillers (terminal cancer), two weeks ago I was on opiates and at new wine ( the week before Detling) I came off those and was on paracetamol (I know it sounds pathetic but paracetamol really did make a difference, even when on opiates!) but now I am off all the pain killers and am getting rid of all my "aids" from around the house! So I am very excited about what is happening and will let you know of any other medical stuff. I am getting a lot of hip pain at the moment which I haven't previously had which isn't so good! We had a great week at Detling and were grateful for yours and Heidi's time in praying for us. I have enjoyed reading your blog and have saved it to my favourites so I can keep up to date with your exciting life! Great to hear all the healings! I will keep you up-dated,
Jen, Dave, Ella, Sidney and Jude. (14 August 07)
I have been feeling better and better each week and am now pain free, all I have now is weakness in my back and arms and am able to do so many things now I couldn't before. Jude is responding to more and more sounds and his big brother actually wakes him up by screaming now which of course we are very grateful for! He goes for a proper hearing test in a few weeks so it will all be clear then. The hospital won't give me a scan unless I present them with more symptoms, so I'll have to see how we can check my progress medically, but I'm sure God has it all in hand and I won't be worrying about it!! I was praising God whilst I was hoovering the other day, something I haven't been able to do for a long time!
Thanks for your prayers
Jen, Jude & Co (30 August 07)
Just had to tell you this- I arranged to go and see my dad on Wednesday- all ready to offer prayer for healing in light of the disturbing news he’d been getting from the Oncology and Eurology consultants he’d been referred after his Prostate cancer flared up again. I knew he was worried (to put it mildly)- but I hadn’t realised he hadn’t slept properly for 2 months because of how things were progressing- he really believed he was on his way out.
The consultants had sent him for a bone scan and an MRI scan because they feared the cancer had spread, meaning he was left with just 2 options- cryo surgery for which the outcome was very hit and miss or drugs which he understood might prolong his life but as his body/the cancer adjusted to them might give him 2 years at most.
Well I rang him on Tuesday after he got his results back and he was overjoyed and not a little surprised to have been told both scans came back clear!!
Honestly I really had expected the worst and was ready to see him on Wednesday to put my faith in action and to offer him hands on praying, asking God for a miracle.

Hi Paul
Three years on and Colin’s Colitis is still in remission.
The Blood vessel in his brain has caused no problems in the last year. Colin awaits a further M.R.I. scan in June.
We have so much to give thanks for, please continue to uplift Colin in Prayer. I pray day and night.

Alasdair, Alistair (from Callander), Mhairri, Neil, Stewart, Stephen, Theresa, Rebecca, Charles, and Joanna all received a measure of healing - some complete , others partial improvement….
Graham Wallace, Troon, Scotland
Great news - my knee is feeling wonderful. I noticed in going up and down the stairs that is doesn't crack anymore - when I realized it - it brought tears to my eyes and I thought "what have I done to deserve this?" Secondly the young man at Youth Challenge you prayed for the last time you were here that had aids - he went to the doctors and they can't find it!! God is so wonderful.
John Crowder, Pastor, Virginia, United States of America
Hello Paul: Just a few words to inform you that my niece, the one I asked you to pray for a couple of weeks ago, had a CAT Scan on her head and there was no tumor!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord.
My Sister is so very happy. She is now attending an evangelical church in Panama. I want to thank you very much for your prayers.
Carlos Miro, Elder, Iglesias Camino de la Cruz, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Sue and I, so much enjoyed renewed fellowship with you, and the Saturday morning seminar. Bonny, whom you prayed for, and who had a congenital intestinal problem is healed! She can now eat all the food she couldn't eat before, and is rejoicing.
John Bowles, Pastor, YWAM Perth, Western Australia
During the summer of 2003, my daughter Cerys and I attended a Christian festival in Detling Kent.. Our wonderful Father had been doing many things in our lives. as well as starting to heal me from the inside following several traumatic events He had started to heal my eyesight, I was either born blind, or blind at early infancy, following many eye operations my sight had improved, but I was still registered partially sighted. So on arriving at Detling to find seminars on healing was an exciting bonus for us, it was our first Christian festival and what a memorable occasion!!!!!!
At this time Cerys had a food intolerance to all dairy products and wheat. If she ate any of these at the very least she would have colic like symptoms, at the worst she had been in hospital twice to be treated for dehydration due to severe sickness. The paediatrician said that she would eventually grow out of this condition, but especially with egg, she may have an intolerance until she was five.
Well Our wonderful Father had other plans! After one of Paul's seminars on healing I felt a bit of a Holy Spirit nudge to go and get Cerys and ask Paul to pray for her, he did and Praise Jesus she is now totally healed! it took a while for me to have the courage to give her the foods that she may have had a more severe reaction to, but after getting out of the boat and giving her all food, she can now eat all dairy products and wheat!
Paul also said that he felt that my faith would heal me, at the moment every so often it gets a little better, so in God's time that will be the case, I am really looking forward to being able to apply for HGV/bus driver, air traffic control and commercial pilot training!!!
Nina Montoya, Maidstone, Kent - mum of Cerys – then about 3, with a major intestinal disorder that prevented her eating all dairy produce, healed at Detling Bible Week, Kent 2003
Hi Paul,
You prayed for our 2 year old son Oscar in relation to his possible autism when you were at West church in Bangor recently. We wanted to let you know how Oscar has progressed since then.
We were delighted to see an immediate difference in Oscar's behaviour on the Sunday after we brought him to see you in church. He was out playing in the garden (he even played with toys!). We firmly believe that Oscar was touched by the holy spirit that Sunday when you placed your hands on his head and said "Oscar Jesus is your friend - be healed in the name of Jesus". His hearty laughter at that point only ever happens when he is really enjoying himself.
We have noticed the following improvements in his behaviour:
1) Greatly reduced dependence on the TV. Although he still likes to watch it we can now usually turn it off with minimal protest.
2) He is much calmer when the TV is on. He will often now sit in his chair when the tv is on, where before he would jump in a very excited manner in front of the tv.
3) Improved eye contact generally.
Although he still has bad days, he is hugely improved overall. We had a formal review of Oscar's progress at the hospital recently with the consultant and when I told him that we felt the Lord was healing him, he said that he was a Christian and firmly believed in faith healing. He acknowledged that there is much the medical profession doesn't know.
Praise the Lord!

Here's my story!
From 1997 I had suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. For the first couple of years my life practically stopped, I went from working full time in my first job and being involved in a church, to 3 months hardly leaving the house. It was a real battle to do anything and although I returned to working part time it was very difficult and I was in a lot of pain. Over time (and with stubbornness!) I was able to work full time again, but at the cost to the rest of my life. I worked but that was all I had energy for. I had a low immune system, which resulted in me often being ill with a virus etc.
In September 2001 I felt God called me to go to do a DTS with YWAM. I knew that it was not going to be easy for me with my health but I was desperate to change my life. It was the most amazing experience, God so taught, encouraged and blessed me through the experience. I returned home transformed spiritually. However, the experience took it's toll on my health and I was quite ill during my outreach phase. When I got home in March '02 I had lost over 2 stone in weight and knew I was exhausted. The following months I was slowly building up my strength again as I waited to learn what God had in store for me next.
In August I met you at Detling and following your prayer I steadily got stronger and stronger each day. As the conference continued I was feeling so much better and my friends remarked that a sparkle had returned! Week by week I continued to improve. By the end of the year I had become a youth leader at my church and was involved in running a drop in youth centre and youth church.
In February I got the job as administrator at Revival Fire Conferences and now work towards making Detling happen each year!! I am the best I can ever remember. I have not been off sick from work for six months now. I just worked 13 days straight, most of those days were 12 hours long and although I am tired, I am not ill. Thank you Jesus. I am amazed when I look back at the last couple of months and everything I have managed to do. God is great!
Thank you Paul for taking the time to pray with me. I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Chrissie Keeley, Maidstone, Kent
You may remember that after the first seminar (on Monday), you prayed for my healing, my release from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; then at the final seminar, I shared with everyone that I thought I had been healed. Well, another week on and I am telling everyone I have been healed!
{Just to remind you, can I go back over why we were at Detling in the first place? I had been suffering from CFS for about two and a half years, and had taken early retirement eighteen months ago. At the end of January, I prayed to God for healing – saying I had had enough of this condition – and felt God saying to me “go to Detling” (some friends had been encouraging us to go for some time, and had already given us an application form). So, wishing to be obedient and trusting in His leading – we went! Before going to the Bible week, God had already been working in my life, not only challenging me to change my priorities and some of my attitudes, but earlier in the summer He also healed the heightened sensitivity of my hearing (caused by the CFS) – thereby enabling me to take part in the worship etc at Detling!}
I know God healed me, but thank you for your part, and for the superb series of seminars (if you are in contact, could you please also pass on our thanks to Yvonne - you came to the issue of healing from different experiences, but together your presentations had the perfect balance).
At home group yesterday, I was able to lead the group in our bible study (as is usual, based on Sunday’s sermon). I have not been able to do that for over two years. Many people from our church have been saying “welcome back”! Over the past few days, I have begun to be concerned that I’m feeling tired – but I think I may have been overdoing it (simply because I now can!). And Jean is still wondering how to cope with this “new me”!
I feel I am at the start of a new life – I intend to pray for healing for those who need it whenever I have the opportunity, and I am longing for the time when I do see God’s Spirit healing people regularly. Finally, thank you again for being a part of God’s wonderful plan – and I pray that He continues to bless everything you do in your healing ministry.
Colin French, Crowborough, East Sussex
Hey Paul
Remember me? You prayed for my normal womanly cycle to be restored and said you believed that God would heal my while I was in Calcutta. That has become a reality. I had one on September 15 for one day and then here in Caluctta exactly a month later. That is the first regular one in over 3 years. Praise the Lord. Thank you for your prayers.

I was 12 when I first noticed there was something wrong with my shoulder but it took ages for the doctors to take me seriously. My favorite subject at school was P.E and I had chosen to study it at G.C.S.E level.
At last the doctors had referred me to my local hospital at Maidstone to see an Orthopaedic consultant. He took a look at my shoulder and said that he had never seen anything like it before and had only ever read about it. He referred me to a top Orthopaedic surgeon in London who had more experience and hoped that he would be able to help.
My shoulder became increasingly painful and would dislocate by itself. I would have to put the joint back in by myself, which became a regular thing. It got so bad that I missed a lot of school and was told the devastating news that I wasn't allowed to take part in any sport at all. It was hard news for me as my dream job was to be a nurse or paramedic but I would fail the medical. I carried on studying P.E but was only studying the theory side of things. I passed P.E at G.C.S.E. but I felt like my life was on hold. I got a full-time job at Tesco Supermarket, but the job was becoming difficult to do as it was physical work, so they placed me on every department trying to find the work
i was able to do.
I had surgery in December 2000 and it was looking good. physiotherapy was going well. 6mths passed and one day out of the blue my shoulder dislocated again.
I went to a conference where all the new medical students came and examined me. They all found it really exciting as it was a case they had never heard of before.
My shoulder became so bad I couldn’t doing much at all and ended up being on security and customer service at the supermarket, but the hours weren't much.
I went to Detling and meet Paul Bennison. My friend Anne Hendley (***** VIDEO LINK PLEASE) was healed the year before, she suffered with M.E I told her I had enough of my shoulder. She advised me to go along to one of the seminars. I meet Paul and he prayed with me. Nothing happened so I went back for more!! Paul prayed. I felt different inside and just knew that God was going to heal me but it was a matter of his timing.
I went away with a positive feeling. People a church would ask every week if i had been healed. My reply would be NOT YET!!! I noticed that I wasn't in any pain at all and knew in my mind that it was better. the dislocation wasn't as regular and eventually it hadn't dislocated for 2mths.
January 2003 the hospital in London rang and wanted me to go up and have keyhole surgery in 3 days time. I told my employers and went up straight away.
I had the surgery on my shoulder and because i had it done under local anaesthetic i could watch it on the screen. I will never forget the look on the surgeons face.
“There's nothing wrong with the shoulder Miss Salt”. I just said " i know" . He asked me what i was saying and so I told him God had healed my shoulder and I was able to tell a room full of non Christians about my faith and my trust in God.
The funny thing was that when I was 12 and I first met this consultant he asked me what i wanted to do for a profession I told him I wanted to be an evangelist and a paramedic. So I made him a promise that I would travel the world and tell people what GOD had done.
Whilst I was at Detling this year i was able to share my testimony with a massive hall full of people and the BBC news came and interviewed me and my testimony went out on that evening news across the south east and London.
My shoulder was that bad where they placed the pin in that there was hardly any bone there and the joint was being held together with the tendon. I was told after that if I had made one wrong move it would of put me out of action for a long time.
I had to wait 8 years for my healing but it was perfect timing as in June this year I got the job and am now working for the Kent ambulance service and a starting a year bible school next September.
Nicole Salt, Maidstone, Kent
I came forward during the service for Prayer Healing, my son Colin was suffering from severe Ulcerative Colitis and was awaiting tests on his upper Bowel to see if he had Crones Disease.
You took my hand and prayed for the complete healing of Colin's full bowel, what peace I felt.
The wonderful news is when Colin had his tests on the Wednesday his upper bowel was completely clear and the Ulcerative Colitis in the lower bowel was in remission.
And then…
Three years on and Colin’s Colitis is still in remission. The Blood vessel in his brain has caused no problems in the last year. …
June Doak, Bangor, Northern Ireland, about her (then) 12 year old son, Colin
During your visit to West earlier this month both my wife and I went up for prayer for healing. I was the last person you prayed with on the Friday night. I asked for prayer for the skin on my hands and for a ham-string strain, together with my knees (on which I have had cartilages removed from both some 15 - 20 years ago) and other joint pains.
For each of these needs you prayed for creative miracles.
I immediately stopped using my medically prescribed Hand-Cream which I have had to keep applying 24hrs per day (e.g. each time after washing my hands and at other times throughout the day and night). It probably was allergy related. The way I was affected was that the skin on the palms of my hands would dry-up and begin to peel. I saw two consultants before being prescribed the cream which I have used for the last maybe 8 - 10 years. Before I got the prescribed cream I used to wash in the mornings wearing light rubber gloves! As I have mentioned above, I have not used the cream from the moment of prayer. Firstly my hands cried out for moisture (they were very, very dry like the bones in Ezek 37, I guess!!) but I would not use the prescribed cream only normal hand-cream and even then only occasionally. After a few days I noticed the first signs of my skin beginning to break so I prayed again and the holes which had appeared closed over again. The skin on my hands has returned to complete normality now, being able to moisturise themselves without that awful craving sensation for additional moisture. I do continue to use normal moisturising cream from time to time which would never have been sufficient before (indeed would have had no effect on solving the problem).

Yes we would like to have you come to speak at church again. Last Thursday at Bible study we were talking about the day you ministered at Tree of Life, because one of the men there that day received a healing in his knee. You probably recall that he had put a nail into his kneecap with a nail gun, well he shared last Thursday how the guy from England prayed for him and after 12 years of pain his knee was healed.

By now it is a report of an old, skinny lady who came to my place, and after the meeting, the Lord opened her eyes and (she) can see. Also the pain is over, and (she) feels much better. Diego Reyes, Cali, Colombia

As to your question about healing testimonies, here’s mine! I have seen and experienced a super difference in my heart. It hasn’t been hurting and I can do more each day before I have to lay down in bed to let it rest !!! Paul, this is a super strengthening miracle ! I was having heart pains spikes throughout the day even the day and morning you preached at church, also after I got home from your service I still got terribly painful spikes in my heart, but after you visited me Sunday afternoon at my house and prayed over me with laying on of hands the pain has not returned even 1 time! PTL! And I have had a remarkable increase in physical strength to go hours longer thru the day without having to get in bed and just be still until my strength returns. Yes! God remarkably touched me through your healing anointing and keep thanking him with me ! I am so grateful to the Lord for this touch from the Holy Ghost!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Paul, It was so much fun to hear from you! Well, after a 28hour travel disaster, I arrived in California! :) I arrived so late that I missed my doctor’s appointment. I was thinking, ‘ok God you are in control’. I didn't think that I would have a chance to see my doctor because of the holidays but my mom made an appointment the day after Christmas - which was today!! I went this morning. I was a little bit nervous but was just praying continually. My doctor came in and I told her that I wasn't taking any of my meds and that I was feeling great!!! I told her that I was sleeping perfectly and doing tons of things that I never would have been able to do before. She touched my back, neck, and shoulders and couldn't believe it. She was totally shocked and kept saying, "this is incredible, this is amazing." I told her that God had healed me and was totally taking care of me. She was so excited that she ran into the waiting room to tell my mom how good I was doing! Basically Paul it was the most amazing experience. To be honest, I don't really think that it has hit me, but my mom cried on the way home from the doctor! She said that this was the best thing that she could ever dream for my life!! My dad just walked in and wants to know how the appointment so I am going to go and tell him. Thanks for all of the prayers! God is soo incredible!! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and a have an excellent New Year!

Paul, just wanted to give you a quick update on some great things that are happening.
The lady you prayed for at church (Linda) her eyes were deteriorating from diabetes, and she was to have surgery - she went to the doctors that week after you left and they said they are perfectly normal! No damage to the optic nerve, etc. The doctor said I don't know who told you had a problem but they are perfect eyes!!!
Also Ann Thomas is still rejoicing with her shoulder being healed.

By the way did you hear that Kathy (the lady who has only become a Christian recently) was so impacted by our evening together that when she got home she was praying and suddenly felt moved to pray for her hands ( she's been seriously arthritic or similar for years and her hands are locked in a semi closed position). The tips of her fingers immediately went loose and she has gained considerable movement, though not complete yet. She didn't tell any of us immediately as she couldn't quite believe it was really happening - but it has. So thank You Lord and thank you Paul for stirring up the gift of faith in Kathy.

I've heard some fantastic news this week that I hope will encourage you too! News from people that came to he service you were with us for, has just got through, and there have been some wonderful healings! I was especially thrilled to hear that Catherine, who is a special needs support teacher at Olborough School (where we meet), has been healed of her ME. In fact Dave , who is the school caretaker, and comes to Loose, reckons that he's praying for the energy to keep up with her now!! Catherine has even had the confidence to try foods again, that used to bring on allergies. Then I heard this morning that Ben's ear problem that you also prayed for, has cleared up. I think he's due to see an ENT specialist soon, but his Dad feels that his ear is completely better. So, much to praise God for, It's just fantastic! And a BIG thank you again for coming to Loose, and for your ministry with us. With love from Anne and Mark.

I wanted to tell you that Monday after you left, Joan - the tall lady at church called, you had prayed for her elbow and the bone spurs and arthritis she had on Sunday. She is totally healed! She was so ecstatic telling me how she had cleaned all day and hung window blinds with a screw driver with no pain at all. Praise the Lord - God is good!!!

You have been in our thoughts and minds. We also talk about you to our leaders and between us. We always say... " As Paul Bennison said..." and we talk about your teachings, stories and testimonies. Your visit to us has been a tremendous blessing.
If you remember, my eardrum was defeat or broken (how do you say?) . When you told all those testimonies to the students I was touched by God deep in my spirit and I said: Lord, if you did it once you can do it again. And really He did it. You prayed for the students Thursday night and again you prayed for us in our home on Friday, when you left to the airport. On Monday I had appointment with the specialist and he confirmed the miracle. The Lord restored my eardrum. Praise God. The main miracle God worked in each one of us in the evening school was to receive the joy of the first love. There is fire in our hearts again. God bless you abundantly.
