The good news is that God is healing people today, through faith in the name of Jesus. The Healing Tree was created as a way to chronicle healing testimonies of the glory of God. Read these encouraging stories of how Jesus has worked healing in the lives of others. You may just be inspired to add your own.
The Power of Your Testimony
Your testimony is sharing how God's miraculous intervention worked in your life through healing. When Christians tell their stories about how God has healed them, others will realize that God heals, miracles do happen, and prayer works. This will encourage people to seek god so that they may know the peace and fulfillment that come to a person when they give their life to Jesus.
The Challenge
HEALING: PASS IT ON! Have you been prayed for and received healing? We challenge you to find someone who needs prayer for healing and pray for them in the upcoming week. Then share The Healing Tree blog with them so that they can read encouraging healing testimonies from others, and perhaps give their own.

In the late spring of 2009 God called me to ministry. We prayed, sought counsel and were eventually led to apply to seminary in Johnson City, Tennessee. About the time we decided to begin the application process we began to be attacked.
God called us to have a second child and in obedience we tried to conceive. As with the first, we became pregnant right away. Tragically, that pregnancy was stolen from us and what seemed like perfect timing dissolved from the picture. Nonetheless, we tried again and became pregnant immediately. Six weeks into the third pregnancy we had an ultrasound and found a healthy child growing within my wife’s womb. We were overjoyed to see the heartbeat and felt as though everything was alright.
A week later the wave of spiritual attacks became stronger still and we would awake in the night to our toddler crying about “black things” she saw in her room. My wife began to spot. Three days later the spotting turned red and just like with the miscarriage, she lost pregnancy symptoms. We both feared the worst. In the early stages, when I prayed I simply asked for God’s Will and that my wife would have peace and comfort during what was about to take place.
After about the 5th or 6th day when we found blood we decided that we would join God in his desire for life. We drove to a prayer meeting across town knowing that it wasn’t an open “healing prayer time”. I felt like the men who lowered their friend through the roof as I asked if we could interrupt for some emergency prayer. We were happily greeted and the prayer team was more than happy to pray. They prayed, they battled and they stood the gap for my family. The bleeding slowed that night and stopped the next morning.
As my two year old daughter rose from her nap the following day she looked up at me in a daze and simply said: “its Okay daddy, the baby is Okay.” And it is. Today we saw the heartbeat again and we are certain that the Lord used our toddler to deliver a prophetic word of comfort. We, with our many prayer partners, will contend for life. This is always God’s desire.
I went down to see my best friend, Jason Tax, in Los Angeles, just to visit for a week and hang out—and who knows what adventure the Holy Spirit might lead us into. Jay and I love to do street evangelism together. On the way down, I saw a Disneyland sign, and I remembered the times of lying on my bed dreaming with the Holy Spirit of revival inside the theme park. I thought, “Wow that would be cool if that ever happened for real.”
I had the privilege of speaking at my friend’s church on Wednesday night, and after the service, a lady asked me if I wanted a free ticket to Disneyland the following day. Yippie, Jesus. I thought, Wow! Those tickets are $94!
Jason Tax, Hannah Ford and I went to Disneyland to have a great day in the sun with the Son—and God set us up through one key miracle of a young man’s shoulder that was in a sling. We approached him and asked if we could pray for healing. Jesus instantly completely healed his shoulder and he removed his sing and began to test it out. He started crying from God’s goodness, and he told us how he could not raise it at all because of a fresh torn rotator cuff injury. He then started raising his arm over his head and moving it as freely as the other one. His friends explained how he is the star football player at their school and he would have had to take the entire year off from football after his scheduled surgery, so we explained the gospel of Jesus Christ and the miracles to the group of eight or so, and they all got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, and two of them got healed—one of scoliosis. The other had Jesus grow out his leg as his friends all looked on.
They all started freaking out, and the heavenly momentum hit and it erupted into an all-out Holy Spirit healing miracle service in the Disneyland food court for four and a half hours as groups of young people got their friends and brought them back to us for healing. They would come to us and say, “Can you heal this?” as they would point to a lump on their knee or a bad ankle. We would answer something like, “We can not heal anything but Jesus can heal everything and that same Jesus is in you now, so everyone put your hand on this person and say, ‘Be healed in Jesus’ name! Now test it out.’” Really, that’s how we prayed: “Be healed! Now test it out.” Almost every healing was instant as the looks of shock appeared on the faces, then praise and cheers to Jesus would erupt from the crowd of youth!
Flat feet were healed as arches formed in front of everyone to witness. One girl was so scared as her friends dragged her up to us. She was almost crying from fear. We told her, “Hon, you have nothing to be afraid of. This is Jesus and He loves you very much.” She had extreme scoliosis and a dislocated thumb that was in a hand brace. She was still very much afraid so we told her, “We won’t even need to touch you because the glory is here. Just remove your brace and move your thumb around.” She did and her thumb was instantly healed. We asked her to touch her toes and then check her back out. She did and her friends lifted up the back of her shirt to check out her spine. They all screamed because it was now perfectly straight. Jesus! We asked her if she knew Jesus, and she said no. We told her it was Jesus who just healed her and asked her if she would like to know that Jesus? She said yes, so she got saved and then we explained to her about being filled with the Holy Spirit and she said she wanted Him, too! So we asked her to put her hands out in front of her and say, “Holy Spirit, come and fill me up. I give my life to you.” She started shaking under the power of God. God is soooo good!
We witnessed bone knots dissolve from knees, asthma healed, crooked knees straightened out, and eyes healed. Some protruding ribs were pulled back into the chest. Even gold dust showed up on many and three youths experienced supernatural weight loss as their once tight pants got looser and looser. Screams erupted as one man grew an inch taller while everyone looked on.
A super cool thing was how each kid got saved and then we prayed for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit and almost every kid felt a strong manifestation of the Holy Spirit like electricity, heat, tingling all over their bodies or a heavy, weighty presence.
They would then ask us questions like, “Can you make the sadness I feel leave the inside of me?” All their friends would say, “I feel that way, too,” so we started praying in large groups, commanding depression to leave them and joy to come. Kids were crying, laughing, yelling “Jesus,” saying things like, “I can’t believe this! This is way better than any ride here!” Those kids were getting set free. We prayed for healing for the first few kids only. Then we taught the youth that the same Spirit dwells in each of them, and then we watched Jesus heal through their hands! We witnessed around 120-140 healings, most of them instant and about 100 or so decisions for Christ, of which 50 or so were first-time decisions, asking Jesus to forgive them of their sins. Yea, Jesus! One young man came up to me and said, “I never knew that Jesus died for me,” and he yelled at the top of his lungs: “Jesus!”

A believer has laid hands on me and I shall recover! (Mark 16:18)
I have called for the elders of the church, and they have prayed over me, anointing me with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will heal me and the Lord will raise me up. (James 5:14-15)
If I listen carefully to the voice of the Lord my God and do what is right in his eyes, if I pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, He will not bring on me any of the diseases He brought on the the people of the world. (Ex 15:26)
I pay attention to God's words and listen closely to what He's saying. I do not let them out of my sight; I keep them within my heart. For I have found them and they are life to me and health to my whole body (Prov 4:20-21)
Our words (our declarations) create an avenue by which Heaven’s resources and power are released. It is important for us to realize that when we declare God’s Kingdom coming, we are releasing Heaven to earth with our words.
We believe that God’s will is always to give life and life more abundant, and we pray for healing by declaring that belief. We encourage you to begin declaring health and wholeness over yourself and your loved ones.
The word of God has become a part of me. It flows in my bloodstream to every cell of my body, restoring and transforming my body.
Since Jesus is Lord over my life, I forbid sin, sickness and disease to have any power over me.
Father, You have forgiven all my iniquities; You have healed all my diseases; You have redeemed my life from destruction. You satisfy my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed as the eagles.
When God gave me the vision to start The Healing Tree, I was days away from my 4th surgery. I was diagnosed in 2002 with congenital hepatic cystic diseased and have suffered great pain because of it. I've had 3 prior surgeries to remove cysts and tumors from inside my liver. I was told that the liver cysts were pre-cancerous and that over time, would most definitely turn into cancer. They told me that liver cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, and they ended up removing the entire left lobe of my liver to hopefully get rid of the problem once and for all.
I saw my liver specialist 1 month ago and he said the information showed that the cysts that were removed were found NOT to be pre-cancerous. He was puzzled at why the surgery proceeded (he was not the operating surgeon). He feels that I should make a full recovery from the liver disease: congenital hepatic cystic disease.
It was God who healed me but it took surgery to find that out make it evident. The Lord showed me that just when I have things figured out, He completely amazes and astonishes me. He shakes me up, stretches my faith, and puts a new song in my mouth. A song of praise and thanksgiving.
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
--Psalm 40:1-3
There's healing power in the name of Jesus. It's documented in many places throughout the bible. The good news is that He still heals today! I believe He's establishing The Healing Tree to be used as a vehicle to help build His Kingdom by delivering this wonderful news to others.
