Jesus heals a man with dropsy on a Sabbath:
It happened that He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, and they watched Him closely. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. Then He answered them, saying, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?” And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
Luke 14:2–4
Testimony
Wear and tear in a shoulder
After many years of hard work as a farmer, road worker, and later as an installer, I developed pain in one shoulder. The doctor believed I had wear and tear and gave me pain-relieving tablets. In the newspaper, I saw an advertisement saying that you were going to speak at a meeting in Nordkjosbotn in 1997. By then, I had had shoulder pain for half a year. At the after-meeting, I went forward and received prayer from you. The next morning, my wife asked, “How is your shoulder doing?” I suddenly discovered that the shoulder was healed! Since then, I have been pain-free.
Quit smoking
My boyfriend had smoked for 20 years. Six months ago, I called you and received prayer for him without his knowledge. On the same day, he stopped smoking. He told me that the craving for cigarettes completely disappeared.
