January 5
Sarah is healed, and gives birth to Isaac at the appointed time:
The Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis 21:1–2 (NKJV)
Testimony
Infertility – healed through television
I had several surgeries on my ovaries. A part of the Fallopian tube and an ovary were removed. The doctors said that I could not have children in the normal way. Using IVF, they gave me a 20 percent chance of becoming pregnant. I was scheduled for IVF treatment towards the end of 1997. For five years, my husband and I had tried to have a child without success. In the late 90s, you prayed for the sick on a TV program. I was home alone then. No one was supposed to know what I was doing. I placed a hand on the television while you prayed for the sick. It wouldn’t hurt to try, I thought. Two weeks later, I became pregnant! My son Markus was born on December 30, 1997!
Calcification in the neck
For six to seven years, I had calcification in my neck. The chiropractor could determine this after studying the X-rays. Neither he nor the doctors could help me. Without my knowledge, my daughter called you barely a year ago. You prayed for me over the phone. The next day, I was well. Something happened to me. I used to wear a white cervical collar around my neck. When my friends noticed that I no longer had it on, they wondered what had happened. Then I could say: “Svein-Magne has prayed for me, and God has healed my neck.” My friends were surprised by what had happened to me.
