Over Easter we visited your evening service as our son Philip was visiting from New Zealand and he was real keen to come visit you guys.

About 15 years ago, I had a serious fall and injured my back. Over the next few years I developed serious pain throughout my body – at times I thought I was losing my mind. My sleep patterns were completely disrupted, and I lived with pain every second of every day. I could not walk, stand, sit or even lie down without pain. I averaged throughout these years about 2 hours sleep per night. I have been a physical and emotional wreck for a very long time due to pain. I was eventually diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder, fibromyalgia and myo-fascial pain syndrome. For the last 7 or so years, I have lived on schedule 5 pain killers – taking 2 pills every 3-4 hours – even throughout the night. These pills gave enough respite to allow me to sleep for 20-30 minutes at a time. On top of that I had anti-inflammatory injections on an almost daily basis. My chiropractor became my best friend – he manhandled my body in order to bring some pain relief! I cried every day due to pain. Headaches and backache, frozen shoulders and neck were a part of my life every second of every day. Because of the way I walked in order to accommodate my back and neck pain, I developed serious knee problems. I had surgery on my left knee, and was considering surgery for the right knee as it had become really bad as well.

I have to sit during my teaching time as standing causes major pain. Fortunately my Matric students are a great bunch, so they don’t mind!

I attended the increasing glory time in Pinetown, and experienced a tremendous blessing. I stood for the entire conference, begging the Lord to do something – anything in me! I watched my precious son – who was standing right next to me – get totally smashed in the glory…me? Nothing – or so I felt.

On the Friday night I went home and for the first time in many years, I slept through the night – without the use of my back brace or knee braces to give a little respite. On Saturday morning I woke up refreshed, and I did not have to reach for a pain killer at all. I felt really strong and my pain had gone from a 50-100 out of 10 to a very manageable 5 or 6 out of 10. This is a massive miracle in my body. Since the conference I have been able to sleep at night with little or absolutely no pain at all! I have not worn a back brace or a knee brace since the conference. The Lord is so amazing!

During one session, there was a prophetic word about us reclaiming stuff that had been stolen from us – we had been burgled and I lost jewelry that was over 150 years old. I am trusting God for the return of this pearl and garnet piece, amongst other things. However, my husband’s grandfather (we called him ‘two-pa’) lost a large gold ring (which was given to him for his 60^th wedding anniversary) over twenty years ago. He lost it while working in his veggie garden. When he passed away, we bought his property. We have been in his house for 15 years. We often talked about two-pa’s ring, and the fact that it was never found. This patch of garden was dug up EVERY season as we plant our veggies in the same patch. Many different people have worked in this veggie patch. It became a standard question every time someone was out in the garden – anyone see two-pa’s ring? I think our children believed that the large gold ring was just a treasure legend!

On his return from the conference, my husband Alan went to work in the garden in order to prepare the veggie patch for the big planting time. I had stayed on in Natal to spend a week with my son Paul. While still at the south coast, Alan phoned me and said he had started planting and preparing the veggie patch. He asked me, “Guess what I found?” I answered straight away “Two-pa’s gold ring!?”

The second shovel-full of dirt had revealed the ring! TWENTY or more years of lying out in the veggie patch! All sorts of people and doggies digging around in the patch during this time! The Lord has begun to return to us things that were lost or taken from us. What a wonderful, wonderful Lord we serve!

Thank you Rob, Glenda, Fini and Isi for your faithfulness in opening the Grace message to us. We have been blessed in so many ways.

We look forward to the next conference with you all, and we will be staying in the glory –‘cos that’s the best place to be!

I’ve been coming along to Jubilee International Church for the past 5 weeks, and I feel like my life has changed forever.  Many great and amazing things have happened to me since I joined Jubilee, however, I wanted to share one thing.    I have suffered from migraine attacks for the past 36 years and since becoming a Christian 18 years ago, I’ve tried everything medical and spiritual to get free of these attacks. 

On the first Sunday I visited I responded to the pastor’s ministry call and prostrated myself at the altar consecrating myself and giving all of my life to the Lord.   I’ve never actually laid down at an altar call before and felt a bit weird but as I lay there I felt as if 2 big wings were covering my whole body and I quietly wept as I felt God’s love for me.    

About 3 weeks ago, I went forward to receive prayer for healing my migraines and the person praying for me didn’t pray one word (but they later told me, that they felt not to speak, but just to keep releasing God’s glory, and as they did so, I would reel backwards).  So I just rested in God’s presence, and all I could feel was his love for me.  Big waves of love enveloping me and I started to cry because I realized how much he really does love me and I felt him say “It’s not about the migraines, you need to know how much I love you” and I felt that if I could just open myself up and receive his deep deep love for me I would walk in the healing that Jesus gained for me at Calvary – like it’s done, there is nothing else to do.  Just receive his love.

Last week I woke up early with a migraine attack and got out of bed and sat in my favourite armchair listening to the  Spirit Spa cd by Joshua Mills, and I started to think about the Jason Westerfield conference and talk to Jesus about how I want to know him like Jason does and admitting just how much I don’t know him!  Then I started to tell Jesus what he is like to me, saying, things like “you are like the brightest light, brighter than any sunshine, your smile is amazing, you traverse time, you’re a wild man, and you are so much fun” – stuff like that, and then I started to sing about him and then about the Father and then the Holy Spirit, and then I stopped as I realized my migraine had completely gone!

I never thought that I could receive healing through just worshipping God!  I’ve spent years going to every healing or ministry call; had elders anoint me with oil; decreed healing Scriptures over myself countless times; broken off any agreements about the migraines in my soul; etc. etc. and I’ve had minor breakthrough with this, but never anything like I experienced last week – instant healing!

Dear Fini & Isi 

I am expressing my sincere gratitudes to you and all Jubilites for what God has done for me through you.The prophetic and healing I received from this church is unbelievable. God is amazing, awesome and merciful. Those miracles gave me more affinity for our God through his only son Jesus Christ.  I want to testify that I was saved from a chronic back pain which I had had for more than 5 years. Having tried various medication with no improvement. Fini prayed for me on a sunday evening service and I do not hesitate to say I received instant healing up to this moment.

Secondly, I had a fall in the bathroom and sustained injuries on my right shoulder. Only family members knew about it and Narelle, picked it up when she prophesied that there was someone with a shoulder injury and she asked that individual to come to the front for prayers. She prayed for me and again I was healed instantly.

I would like to thank the church for guiding me to God and through your wonderfull church with all these amazing miracles and wonderful leadership. He is alive and living with us. May God bless you all.

I work with elderly people who are hungry for connection and love and are more than happy to receive prayer. My rounds are taking a long time these days as I grow in knowledge of my authority and use it to bless the residents I work with.

I prayed with a lady who has congestive heart failure and needed an oxygen tank to breathe, she was confined to her unit because it was difficult to move with such restricted breath. She was visibly blessed and filled with joy when I prayed for her.  I did not see immediate recovery but two days later when I saw her, she was breathing well, eating a meal with her friends and without her oxygen tank! Every time I see her now she looks at me with a twinkle in her eye. The next week I had the opportunity to pray with a different resident who I was instructed would need to be given inhalers for severe asthma and shortness of breath. I prayed with her before I left and when I returned she was breathing well and excitedly telling me and her friends that my prayers had been answered and she was feeling just fine now.

I received a word of knowledge at a Sunday morning service a few weeks ago about the repayment of debt. Last week I had a relatively large financial need which I submitted to the Lord in a dollar amount. I just declared it a couple of times and stood on the countless testimonies I have heard of people receiving provision.  A week later and after an email follow up of a debt (which I had very small expectation onseeing repaid) I had the exact amount I had declared I needed in my account. Later this day after jumping about wildly praising God for this breakthrough, I was on a call to my phone provider who said they had been overcharging me for the last year, today I received that cheque in the mail. Daddy is just lavishing me with gifts!

My mother who is not a believer had a long standing referred pain in her neck and shoulder. This pain was described as excruciating and was keeping her up at night. One day we had met in a local pub to catch up and she was compaining of the torment the pain was causing her since she had travelled interstate earlier that day. I asked if I could pray which she agreed to and after laying my hand on her and praying a short prayer at the bar she exclaimed in some colourful language that the pain was completely ******** gone! I just thought the irony of this happening at the bar was hilarious and soon after we prayed my hands were covered in gold dust to testify to the greatness of God. I had some explaining to do, but my mum's responsewas basically "How can I get some of that, I want that!".
