At times the illness left me bedbound. My studies and social life began to fall to pieces. I couldn’t tolerate exercise and any activity, even as minor as talking to a friend on the phone, could worsen symptoms and leave me out of action for days or weeks at a time. Since receiving prayer in September 2006 at Southland Christian Centre in Melbourne I have been made completely well! In the few days leading up to that night I was weaker than ever, basically bedridden, having fits and difficulty breathing.

During prayer I felt warmth throughout my entire body, like I was on fire. A great fog lifted from my head and I felt strength returning to my body. Over the following few days I continued to improve until all signs of the sickness had disappeared. The disabling symptoms of CFS/ME that used to weigh me down and hold me back from life are a distant memory now. I am bursting with energy, my mind is sharp again and I can do all the things I used to do before becoming unwell, without a second thought. Jesus has separated the sickness from me, just as he separated my sins when I got saved a couple of years ago.

In fact, He has cast it off and thrown it so far from me that it is no longer part of my identity, and I struggle to remember how it felt to be so ill. But at the same time, after a return to health, it has dawned on me how sick people with CFS/ME really are, and pray that they will come to know Jesus. When I was born again He began a good work in me, and has indeed shown His faithfulness to bring it to completion! I am absolutely overcome with joy just seeing God at work in my life and know He will use the testimony to draw others to Him. I am whole again and nothing can take that away now.

Confession of God’s Word brings possession of His Word! Today I caught up with some members of my local CFS/ME support group. They are all very amazed and intrigued about the sudden turnaround in my health! We are planning to invite everyone in the group to John’s meetings when he returns to Melbourne.
Endless thanks to John and praise to Jesus! « Close

I was in continual severe pain. My doctors told me they couldn’t operate because there was a chance the operation would leave me paralysed. In 2001 John Mellor was holding healing meetings in my church. I went along the 1st night and John prayed for my shoulder, but nothing seemed to happen. I went again the 2nd night, he prayed, nothing seemed to happen. I went up for prayer on the 3rd night and again nothing seemed to happen. I went home after the meeting feeling pretty disgruntled.

I needed a miracle and I wasn’t getting one! The next day I was in town and happened to meet an elder from my church. He knew I’d been getting prayer for my shoulder and asked me how it was. I told him that nothing had happened so far but I was going that night expecting a miracle. That night John prayed for me and I got my miracle! For the first time in 2 years I could raise my arm above my shoulder. 3 days after I was healed, I got a job as a concreter and was able to earn enough in a few months to be able to go on a mission trip with my 15 year old daughter.

Unfortunately in 2004 I had another accident. I was using a chainsaw when it slipped severing my hand at the wrist. Due to a number of miracles that day I was able to get to hospital and the doctors were able to successfully reattach my hand. During the next 18 months I had 2 more operations but still experienced numbness in my hand and pain so intense in my wrist that the doctors put me on morphine. In October 2005, I visited the specialist who told me that I needed another operation.

This would have involved either another bone graft, or the ‘freezing of the bones’ in my wrist. If my wrist had to be frozen it would have meant lose of movement in both wrist and hand. I’ve always been a very active worker so I wasn’t thrilled with that idea! In the car going home that afternoon I prayed ‘Father God you’ve got something better for me than what they’ve told for me. They may be world class surgeons but I don’t have to accept what they’ve said about my hand. I’m going to hang out for something better from you.’ The following Sunday John turned up again at our Church!

He recognized me and asked me how my shoulder was going. I raised my arm above my shoulder and said ‘it’s great!’ He saw the splint I was wearing and asked me about it. I told him about my latest little mishap and he prayed for me. That night I took the splint off in faith and I haven’t worn it since. Over time my hand has continued to improve. Before I was prayed for I had difficulty holding things and the slightest movement of my wrist caused pain. A few months after I was prayed for I was able to spend 2 days in Western Queensland mustering sheep on a motorbike!« Close

However she also had hay fever (which she suffered from for about 7 years) and right shoulder and neck muscle pain (a problem she had had for a few months) caused by her manual car reverse gear problem. During prayer she didn’t mention her shoulder and neck muscle pain. John asked her to place her hands over her abdomen. As soon as he placed his hand on her head she felt a wave of dizziness. She fell under God’s anointing.

The next morning she awoke and had no pain in her shoulder or neck (even though she hadn’t asked for prayer for those issues) she knew God had worked a miracle. She started eating all the things she was not able to before, bread, noodles, cakes, biscuits, ice-cream and cappuccinos. She waited for the bloating and diarrhoea, but nothing happened. Her hay fever has also disappeared. It has been 5 months since the Lord healed her and none of her symptoms have returned. She is completely healed in all those areas. « Close

During this time I had to spend a lot of time in bed as the pain I was in was so severe. On May 23rd, 1996, I had been lying in bed for three weeks and was at my lowest ebb. I could not see any way out of my situation. I lay in my bed and I cried out to the Lord. I asked him into my heart and my life forever. I confessed all my sins to him and asked for forgiveness, I also asked him for help with my situation and for someone to come to my door, as I was so lonely.

I had the most amazing peace and calmness come over me it was beautiful and I knew if I put my trust and faith in the LORD that I would be safe in his arms forever . Two days later two men came to my door as I was still in bed. My youngest son answered the door and said I was too ill to come to the door and they said they would send someone else over to visit. Two days later the deaconess of the local church called to see me and this was my first answer to prayer and was to change my life for the better. God’s love truly sinned out of this woman and friend. Within a few weeks things really began to change and I got a home help and a wheelchair on the same day. My health deteriorated very quickly and I had to have carers come to dress and see to my personal care. I became very ill and my whole body began to shut down. Nothing was working and I thought I was dying.

For five months things were really bad. The doctors were sending me for tests and told me I was so severely disabled there was nothing they could do for me. I was invited by a friend to go to a meeting in Scotland where a visiting ministry, John Mellor, was preaching. I was very sceptical and had to be carried up the steps to the meeting. John prayed for me at each meeting but nothing really happened except I got very sick. I came home feeling very disappointed that God had not touched me. After a week and a half of being at home I began to notice a difference in my mobility and decided to go back to Scotland for the Friday evening.

I HAD TO BE THERE! John was saying “There’s going to be a miracle tonight”, and I was looking around to see how it was. Then he said “It’s for you!” as he took my hands and I started walking up the floor. I was laughing and crying all at the same time. My crooked and pain filled body straightened and I felt wonderful! I could not believe that GOD LOVES ME ENOUGH TO GIVE ME BACK MY LEGS TO WALK AGAIN. Within half an hour of being home after the meeting my kidneys started to function again. Every day, I did something new. My doctor cannot take it in, he was totally shocked when he saw me walk into his room but overjoyed. We have an amazing and wonderful Lord who we can trust with our life. He can do these things in YOUR life as well and I invite you if you do not know Jesus as your LORD and SAVIOUR to invite him into your heart. It’s as easy as ABC. Admit you’re a sinner, Believe that Christ is the risen Lord and the Son of God and Commit your life to serve Him. « Close
