WARTS DISAPPEAR!!!

Alina Christenbury had about 10-12 warts on her hands that just would not go away no matter what we tried. We gave her topical medications, natural home remedies, we even took her to the doctor to get dry ice put on them to freeze them away. Nothing worked. Joel came to our church, the Dagsboro Church of God on December 20, 2001. At the end of the service, I asked him to pray for Alina's warts. A month later I noticed that they were shrinking and quickly took this picture, knowing, in faith, that they would soon be gone and I didn't want to miss this miracle in Alina's life. Sure enough, two months after this picture was taken, Alina has normal five year old hands – no warts at all and no warts since!! Praise God.

HEARING IMPROVED!

My husband Rob truly got blessed with the healing of his ear. He has been tested time and again and they kept saying his hearing was getting worse. When you prayed for the other sister in the church, he was standing there helping you and all of a sudden...POP...his left ear just popped open. What a blessing that has been.

RAISED FROM WHEELCHAIR AND HEALED!

Brother Joel, and Heidi, I awoke to find myself being drawn to the computer to find you. I did not know that you had a website. my name is Philomena, I was bound to a wheelchair for a year and a half. when you prayed for me I felt the power of God, and was freed from the chair. you said to me Philomena do you promise from this day forward to give your life to Jesus Christ and that changed my life. God gave me a miracle of the physical body and one of the spiritial body. I had drifted far away from God. I have shared my testimony with people at the hospital where I work, and at churches...I can't tell you how much I appriciate your ministry.

HEALED FROM WARTS WITHIN A WEEK!

Dear Brother Joel My son Scooter was at the covention center one night. You said that, as a kid, you kept on praying about the warts on your hand, and how God healed you. Well my son scooter has been praying ever since that night. And he asked God to take them away. The other night (which was Saturday) he was taking a bath and the wart was half way off! So he asked God for a complete healing and when he got out of the tub it fell off totally! He was so excited about what God had done for him.

SHOULDER PAIN HEALED!

Well, I got up one morning about four years ago and I had this bad pain in my shoulder and when I tried to move my arm I found out that I could only move it half way up. I could not move it all the way. When I tried to move it, the pain was so sharp--I just couldn't do it. So I went to the doctor and he sent me to get x-rays. The doctor told me that I had bone spurs on my shoulder and I needed an operation. I went home and said a prayer and asked Jesus to heal my shoulder. I found out that evangelist Joel Hitchcock was going to be at our church for a healing service. I knew that it was an answer to prayer. So that Sunday morning I got up and was ready to go to church. I could not wait to get there, because I knew something was going to happen to me. I coame expecting to get healed, because I had already prayed and asked Jesus. Well, when Joel gave the invitation, I couldn't get up there quick enough. I told him what was wrong with me and Joel put his hands on me. He began to pray and I could feel the Holy Spirit going all through my body. I could feel my shoulder starting to knit back in place. Praise the Lord for that! Joel asked me to raise my arm up and I did, all the way up. It was sore, but I could move my arm for the first time in a number of weeks. You don't have any idea what that was like for me. My prayers were answered. I could feel the power of Jesus' Holy Spirit working on me. Well, praise the Lord! I didn't need that operation. If you have a need in your life, why not try my Jesus, because I got a healing and a blessing. I believe in prayer. But to be healed you have to keep the faith and you have to believe you can be healed. If you believe that, I know that you will get a blessing like I got. In Luke 11:9 it says: "...and I say unto you ask and it shall be given you. Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you." Put your heart and your faith in Jesus, because through Him all things are possible God bless you!

Your friend in Christ,

WRIST AND ARM HEALED!

Dear Brother Joel, I wanted to say that praying for my wrist and right forearm has produced freedom from the "fire" that used to consume them night and day. I have not experienced tenderness or the burning sensation since the evening you prayed for healing with me at the ByPass Church of God. I just wanted to make a praise report and am so very proud to know the good you're doing in Washington and on the India/Holland crusade. Thank you so very much for having a night of healing prayer.

HEALED FROM CONCUSSION AND SEVERE NECK AND BACK INJURIES!

Dear Brother Joel: I am writing to tell you my testimoney. On October 31, 2000 I went to work at 8:00 in the morning. At 9:45 a metal shelf fell on my head, causing me to have severe head injuries, back injuries, neck and shoulder injuries. I was rushed to Milford Memorial Hospital. At 10:30 my mother recieved the phone call. It's amazing how God works in mysterious ways. About 9:30 my mother was at work and she started to get nervous (now when something bad happens my mother feels it ) while she started to pray for everyone in the household. The way the shelf fell on me it was to break my neck and for me to be dead. But of course it wasn't God will for me to go. The doctors ran several test, and told me that i had severe concusion to my head, and i had back, neck, shoulder injuries. The doctor told me that my recovery process will be six weeks or longer, and that i will be in bed during this process. They sent me home and put me on heavy medications for my head, neck, shoulders and back. When i came home, several hours later my neck started to swell up. My mom called the hospital and they told her to come in the next day. The hospital forgot run a C spine on me. They sent me home. The whole time i was bedridden i felt like i was paralized. i couldn't move my body sometimes and i would get fustrated and ask god why did this have to happen to me. I would get headaches that i would wind up crying and asking for more medication. But we had to watch out when i took the! medication, the problem with the medicine was that they gave a me strong prescription that could make me addicted to it. The thing i didn't want to go through, was to fight addiction. At this time i was going through emotional problem. People at church would call to see how i was, and they were praying for me. I went back for a check-up and that is when they told me it was time for me to go to physcial therepy. Of course i was scared. I was afraid that i would never be the same again. The first session i went to was the first friday of november. And to tell you the truth i didn't want to go back. When i came out of the session i was in more pain. I cried because i didn't want to go back, i felt like i was getting wrost intead of being better. November 12, 2000 i returned to church. I was still in pain and slow. On Sunday night i though i was going to die, with all the pain i had. I was not going to church. But at the last minute something told me to go. So i took more painkillers and went. Brother Joel Hitchcock was preaching at the service. Before i go on and tell you the ! rest of the story let me tell you, I never met Joel Hitchcock and i didn't tell him about my accident. While that night i sat in balcony with my friend Charlette Herd. Brother Joel Hitchcock was talking about physical healing. He ask us to stand up and put our hand up if we need a physcial healing. I put my hand up and started praying. My friend put her hand on me and started praying to. While we were praying he said there is a young lady in here who has a bump on the head. I almost fell down when i heard that. Then he called us to the front alter to be prayed. My friend helped me get to the alter, and there were alot of people at the alter. I was at the end of the line. All i know is that he pointed me and told me that i was the person he was seeing, and he told me to come to the top of the alter were he was. Brother Hitchcock ask me what happen and i explain to him. While he put his hand on me and i felt this heat come all over my body, and then i was slain in the spirit.&nb! sp; When i got up the pain was gone. Brother Hitchcock came over to me and started to twist my neck and back and i felt no pain. For the first time in weeks i felt happy. I went to the doctors and they were amazed that i was doing better and there no trace of injuries in my body. I was healed in 3 weeks not in 6 weeks. God is so good !!!! Thank you for letting me share my story with you. May God Bless You Melissa Diaz (Missy)

DELIVERED FROM A "LIFE OF HELL"

Brother Joel, Something that you said in your preaching hit me like a hammer, and saved me from my world of hel and damnation with the devil.... I feel like 500 pounds of weight has been taken off of my shoulders. God bless, Joseph Elburn, Greensboro MD.

DEMONS CAST OUT

When you started praying with me I started coughing uncontrollebly. Then I started feeling sick and I went outside and vomited an amount of substance out of my body. I believe I am delivered from the spirits of addiction. Greenboro MD.

DELIVERED FROM DEPRESSION

My doctor told me that I HAD TO CONTINUE using medication for my depression. But when Brother Joel prayed for me the Spirit of God started bubbling up in me and I was "giggling" with the joy of the Lord. Every time I wanted to talk about the Lord or testify, I started laughing in the Spirit. I was totally delivered from depression and discontinued my medication. The doctor told me that he did not believe in that "Hocus Pocus" stuff, but I am still free after six years! Bridgeville DE.

BED-RIDDEN WOMAN HEALED

A friend of mine was brought to your service in Burrsville MD. She was actually carried from her bed to the car and taken to the little country church. You prayed with her and she stared walking and even running. It was a fantastic miracle, especially since we had to help her from her bed to the car to get her to church!

20 WARTS DISAPPEAR

Brother Joel, when you were at the Dagsboro Church of God you laid hands on our daughter for healing from her warts. They were all over her hands. In a matter of two months they all disappeared... Ken Christenberry, Milton DE

WARTS ON HANDS AND AND FACE DISAPPEAR

When you preached at Abundant Life Church in Salisbury MD you prayed for our daughter. She had warts everywhere on her hands, and even on her face--on the side of her lip. Every single one of them disappeared... Mr. Austin, Salisbury MD

GOD'S POWER IN YOU SCARED ME

You called me up to the front and laid your hand on my head. The next thing I knew was they were picking me up from the ground. It was like I was hit with a bolt of electricity. It scared me, and I have never gone back to church again, but I felt God's power coming from you. Thank you for your prayers. God still has to work in me. I am living in sin, but I believe I will repent. I have never forgotten my encounter with the power of God. Salisbury, MD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

I can't believe that my deaf ear opened as soon as you put your finger in it and prayed for me. Springs, South Africa

DELIVERED FROM COCAINE, HEROINE AND HEALED OF DEAFNESS

I didn't want to come up here and tell you, but two weeks ago when Brother Joel's revival started over here I was delivered from Cocaine and Heroine. But I didn't tell anyone. But something happened tonight that made me come forward. I heard the one speaker blow out louder, and I wondered what the soundman was trying to do. Then I realized that it wasn't the soundman's work, but my left ear that has been deaf for many years just opened! Danny in Baltimore MD

NEW EARDRUM

When you prayed for Andy's hearing he was healed, but you didn't hear the whole story. He did not have an ear drum in that ear! He went back to the doctor and the doctor now says there is an ear drum in there! Julie in Lancaster PA

LAME LEGS CAN WALK

This little girl has had these braces on her legs all these two and a half years of her life. You prayed for her and took the braces off. She took her first four steps in her life in the Delmar Christian Center.

(Two months later...)

The girl you prayed for in my church can now walk! She is still improving as her mother encourages her and teaches her to walk right. Pastor Jim Brown, Delmar DE

THE LAME CAN WALK

A week ago you prayed for a poor lady here Majakaneng South Africa who was lame and was brought in a wheelbarrow. You raised her out of the wheelbarrow and she could stand but not walk. Still that was a powerful miracle, because she could not do that. But now, seven days later she can walk! She still uses a stick to walk, but soon she shouldn't even need the stick. Brits, South Africa.

CORPORAL TUNNEL SYDROME HEALED

I first met you and Heidi at a pm service at the Bridgeville Church of God. I had been suffering from corporal tunnel syndrome which caused me much pain and to lose sleep many nights. We prayed together that night and the Lord healed me that same night! That was about two years ago! Since then I have been privileged to hear you teach God's Word on many other occasions... Tiffany Wright, Bridgeville DE

RASH AND HIVES IMMEDIATELY HEALED!

Good Morning Joel, I wanted to share our testimony from the Holy Ghost Revival meetings at Harvest Church of God in Edgewater this week. My husband and I brought our daughter Alyssa forward for prayer. She broke out with a terrible rash and hives. She had them for three days and they seemed to not be getting any better. You prayed for her at the alter and I immediately began to see them fade. Even before we left the church. By this morning the sores were completely gone! God is Able. Thank you for your willingness to come and minister to us in faith. Your  hunger for a mighty move of the holy spirit encouraged us and we are in agreement and in prayer that God is going to do a great work in America beginning in Pennsylvania. We believe God is going to bring the provision for this vision of a tent revival. As a family we bless you and your family in the name of Jesus and we will continue to keep you and your ministry in prayer. Thank you, Brad and Sarah Maxwell

QUEBEC 2002:

Here are reports of the Quebec crusade in French, for our French-speaking friends:

L'Été dernier, du 23 au 27 août 2000, dans la petite ville de Berthierville, Québec, Canada, quelque chose de spécial est arrivé dans les lieux célestes. En effet nous avons eu le privilège de recevoir l'évangéliste Joël Hitchcock qui est venu prêcher la Parole de Dieu pendant 5 jours dans notre région. Premièrement je dois vous expliquer, pour ceux qui ne le savent pas, que le Québec est une de 12 provinces Canadiennes, qui possède une population de 7 millions d'habitants (majoritairement francophone) et qui est une des régions les moins évangélisé au monde avec seulement 0.6 % de Chrétiens né de nouveau. La province a été dominé largement par la religion Catholique Romaine pendant plusieurs années et maintenant souffre d'une grande noirceur spirituelle. Dans notre province, à l'heure actuelle, tout ce qui n'est pas de la religion Catholique est considéré comme une secte. Bien que la majorité des gens ne pratique plus cette religion, il se tourne vers elle lorsqu'est venu le temps de se marier ou bien lors de la naissance de leurs enfants afin de les faire baptiser. C'est dans ce contexte que l'église du Seigneur Jésus-Christ doit percer au travers cet immense mur que la religion a construit au travers des siècles. Mais gloire soit rendu à Dieu car son Église avance, car Jésus a dit « je bâtirais mon Église et la porte du séjour des morts ne prévaudront point contre elle ». Notre bien aimé frère Hitchcock a accepté avec empressement de venir prêcher la Parole Dieu pendant 5 jours dans notre petite municipalité de Berthierville. Il était accompagné de son épouse Heidi durant son séjour. Nous avons été grandement béni de son ministère. Le frère Joël bien que puissamment utilisé du Seigneur au travers le monde est très simple et la fraternité entre les gens fut remarquable. Les premières réunions du mercredi et Jeudi soir eurent lieu à notre assemblé, l'église La Parole Vivante et s'adressais principalement aux chrétiens. Déjà lors de la première réunion la présence de Dieu fut manifeste et plusieurs ont été touché de la part du Seigneur durant le message et à l'appel. Les réunions du vendredi, samedi et Dimanche ce sont déroulés à l'école Ste-Geneviève de Berthierville et ces réunions étaient dans le but de faire de l'évangélisations dans notre région. Plusieurs ont entendue la bonne nouvelle de l'évangile pour la première fois. Il a été merveilleux un soir de voir plusieurs jeunes avancer à l'appel pour recevoir Jésus-Christ dans leur cœur. Durant ces soirées la Parole étaient accompagné par des signes et des guérisons; un homme a été complètement guéri du « zona », il avait une immense plaie sur la poitrine et Joël lui a imposé les mains au nom de Jésus et déjà le lendemain cette plaie était presque complètement disparue et quelques jours plus tard il n'y avait plus rien. Un jeune homme a été délivré d'une dépendance à la drogue, beaucoup ont reçu des guérisons de divers genre et plusieurs glorifiais Dieu de le voir agir puissamment et de ressentir sa présence si merveilleuse. Dimanche matin après la prédication, plusieurs ont reçu parole de sagesse, parole de connaissance et parole prophétique, il était étonnant d'entendre l'exactitude de plusieurs parole qui ont été donné par notre frère. Nous sommes convaincu que durant ces réunions une brèche s'est faite dans les cieux au dessus de Berthierville et que Dieu est en train de faire une œuvre et est en train de préparer son église pour ce qu'il veut faire en ses jours derniers. Le Pasteur Guy Gagné de Berthierville a grandement remercier l'évangéliste Joël Hitchcock pour son ministère parmi nous et nous avons tous hâte qu'il revienne au Québec pour apporter de nouveau la bonne Parole du Seigneur. D'autres églises ce sont joint à nous durant ces réunions; Montréal-Nord, Joliette, Rawdon, Repentigny et Mascouche ainsi que 4 pasteurs de ses assemblées. Nous tenons également à remercier le Pasteur Leroux de Mascouche pour l'aide qu'il nous a apporté.
