FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE
sanctuary.” A week later the old lady saw my advertisement and wrote to me. A week after I met her I was installed in a very adequate Sanctuary and waiting rooms.
So I had a Sanctuary and a Ministry of Divine Healing. I think my business and war-time training came to the fore and turned out to be a factor in managing my Sanctuary, in that I had the sense to realize who was in command. Quickened by the illumination from quite a long time previously, I knew that the infinite spirit of God did not need me to tell Him what to do or how to do it. Here I was, obviously placed in this position by some kind of inner compulsion, and therefore my relationship should be rather one of a servant being available to the Master. And it has been just like that, from that day to this.
I spent the first two days just being quiet, in meditation, in the presence of the Lord. The third day a crippled lady arrived. She said she had heard about this new Sanctuary of Divine Healing and wondered if she could get some help. She had been crippled for many years with arthritis, locked knees and shoulders and arms, and was constantly in great pain. There is always a first time for every new adventure, and I remember, very vividly, with a beating heart, talking to her and trying to find words which might help. I talked about the teaching of Jesus Christ, about prayer, so far as I could define it, and about being with the Father and what could happen.
The strange thing was that beyond the words I felt this overwhelming compassion towards her. I felt a great excitement that some wonderful good was happening because I saw her face lighting up. She was receiving something of this blessing through the words and this indescribable feeling of love.
Eventually I led her down to the altar. As she sat, I stood behind her and prayed. How does one pray? Well, I only asked the Father to bless and help her and we went into the silence in the presence of God.
