FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE
controversial issue that sometimes embarrasses her here when she must refuse to shake hands. She has magnetic healing powers and every time she shakes hands-by that I mean when she is not doing it for the purpose of healing her powers are expended or wasted because the handshake would leave her sensitive hands feeling numb and sick. A lot of her healing has been done by a special handshake. At that time her clothes have been seen to shower electric sparks. The handshake has also been used in her healing center in the development of healers. On this subject many African witch doctors also refuse handshakes, saying that this draws their power.
Spiritual healing to us Africans is the intervention by the spirit guides who prescribe the method of healing to be used. For example, a young boy came to our center to be healed of a gangrenous toe. He had been taken from one doctor to another, from one hospital to another, without finding any help. Somebody suggested Mama Mona Ndzekeli, the Moroka Prophet, as she is called. The sick boy was accompanied by relatives. This is very typical of African affairs, a deputation always. The boy had a sitting with Mama Mona in which the boy's dead grandfather came through. He spoke to the medium, Mama Mona, and told her to tell his wife, the boy's grandmother, to send this boy to a circumcision ceremony. They did, and with the healing of the circumcision operation, the boy was healed. This is just one example of the many such spiritual healings which were always suited to the understanding of the patient.

In faith healing you are saved by faith and by grace even though the grace may be undeserved. This type of healing
