The Dog of Roald and Lillian Ilebekk from the place Homstean had developed stomach cancer and was sentenced to death. Then God intervened in a wondrous way. Homstean is located in Vennesla, Norway.

Roald and his wife Lillian discovered that their ten-year-old Norwegian buhund Balto started to ail. Roald took him to an experienced veterinarian in Kristiansand. He examined the dog thoroughly and concluded: The dog had developed stomach cancer. It was so bad that it couldn’t be saved. No medicine could remove the stomach cancer.

Roald and Lillian had not lost hope that Balto could recover. But his condition just got worse. After a few months, he became very ill. They got another appointment with the veterinarian. Lillian took him and had him examined again. The doctor then concluded that the dog was dying. She got an appointment for euthanasia a week later.

Here is their experience of a great "dog miracle":

"God will heal the dog"

"We had a neighbor named Laura. My wife Lillian often visited her and used to take Balto with her. Laura became fond of our dog. She knew that our dog was very sick.

At this time, about nine years ago, Laura went for prayer at your center in Vennesla, Norway. In connection with this, you received an image of a dog in your mind and asked Laura: "Do you know anyone who has a sick dog?" She answered: "It must be Roald and Lillian's dog because it has stomach cancer and is very sick."

↑ BALTO: The doomed Norwegian buhund with stomach cancer was declared healthy after prayers. The veterinarian found no trace of disease, and the dog lived for several more years.

They then had an appointment for euthanasia with the vet a few days later. "God will heal the dog," I said to Laura and prayed for both her and the mortally sick dog. I placed the matter in God's hands and forgot about the dog. But God had not forgotten the vision He had given me."

Roald is not in doubt: "Being a good old Christian man, I trust both in God and Svein-Magne. A couple of days after Laura had been for prayer with you, I called the veterinarian and canceled the euthanasia appointment for the dog. It was supposed to happen in less than a week.

After the prayer at your center, the dog began to perk up. After a couple of months, he was completely healthy and could run like a bullet up the stairs at home," says Roald smiling.

Surprised Veterinarian

But Roald wanted the veterinarian to hear what had happened to their Norwegian buhund. He got an appointment for an examination of Balto.

"Here is our doomed dog," I said to the veterinarian.

The veterinarian took new X-rays of the stomach, pressed on it, and said: "The stomach feels perfectly fine. I don't find any cancer on the X-rays either. But just to be sure, I'll take another picture of the stomach."

He found nothing then either and stated: "Balto is healthy now. You can keep this dog for a long time. It's incredible that the dog is healthy!"

But Roald explained what was the cause of the healing, that I had prayed for the dog. The veterinarian then asked: "But didn't you have to pay for the consultation with Svein-Magne?" Roald replied: "That's nothing compared to what it costs to come to you."

The veterinarian understood the point and nodded smiling. "He thought it was very amusing to hear such a special story," says Roald with a twinkle in his eye.

"After this, Balto lived for another three years. He died when he was 13 years old, old and full of days," says a faith-strong 71-year-old to me.
