Dear Friend
I received a letter one morning from one
of our crusader friends who lives in
Australia, she was writing about our
mutual reaction to some dramatic
happenings in the world, and then she
added these words which reflected her
appreciation of nature, down under:
“I have just lifted my head to look out at
the garden, and I see the beauty of the
autumn leaves, the reds, the greens, and
the orange and browns. The world is an
amazing place.
“It’s a beautiful day, fluffy clouds floating across a pale blue sky,
a slight nip of frost in the air, and, yes, there is a Kookaburra
calling in the distance.”
I hope you agree that, every now and then, it is good to lift our
heads from work and our daily worries, and take time to look at
the wonderful world that is all around us.

For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or
dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things were created by
Him, and for Him.
Colossians 1:16

 Sometimes We
Must BE PREPARED
TO
Make Sacrifices

At the beginning of June my good lady and I visited Eyam, a village in

Derbyshire England that was badly affected by the Great Plague of
1665. Even though the disease is mostly associated with its impact on
London, the sacrifices made by the villagers of Eyam may well have
saved cities in northern England from the worst of the plague. At the
time of the plague, the village had a population of about 350. The
most important person in the village was the church leader - William
Mompesson.
In the summer of 1665, the village tailor received a parcel of material
from his supplier in London. This parcel contained the fleas that
caused the plague. The tailor was dead from the plague within one
week of receiving his parcel. By the end of September, five more
villagers had died. Twenty three died in October. Some of the
villagers suggested that they should flee the village for the nearby city
of Sheffield. Mompesson persuaded them not to do this as he feared
that they would spread the plague into the north of England that had
more or less escaped the worst of it. In fact, the village decided to cut
itself off from the outside would. They effectively agreed to quarantine
themselves even though it would mean death for many of them.
The village was supplied with food by those who lived
outside of the village. People brought supplies and left them
at the parish stones that marked the start of Eyam. The
villages left money in a water trough filled with vinegar to
sterilise the coins left in them. In this way, Eyam was not
left to starve to death. Those who supplied the food did not
come into contact with the villagers. Eyam continued to be
hit by the plague in 1666. The rector, Mompesson, had to
bury his own family in the churchyard of Eyam. His wife
died in August 1666. He decided to hold his services
outside to reduce the chances of people catching the
disease. By November 1666, the plague was considered at
an end. 260 out of 350 had died in the village but their
sacrifice may well have saved many thousands of lives in
the north of England.
William Mompesson did survive. Sometimes we are called
upon to make great sacrifices and the village of Eyam was
prepared to make that sacrifice.
 MY OWN TESTIMONY TO
ANSWERED PRAYER

I don’t as a rule publish my own testimonies, but I thought this

may be an exception being from my own personal experience
and by sharing it with you, it may add strength to your own
faith and belief in Divine healing.

I contacted spinal meningitis at an early age and survived

only to be left with a diseased ear. Over the years, right into
adult life I underwent three major and two minor operations to
remove tumours and to try and correct the problem.

Because of constant discharge I had to wear a dry dressing in

my ear for most of my life and suffer constant pain. I had
resigned myself to the fact that this was a condition that I
would have to put up with for the rest of my life.

Then one morning, just after Christmas 2003 I was sitting at

the altar in the Sanctuary. I was taking the morning service
along with my prayer partners, and was in deep meditation
and prayer when all of a sudden it felt like two large hands
had grasped my head covering both my ears and for a
moment I experienced total deafness. It seemed to last for a
long time but it must only have been seconds. I was shaken
by the experience and after the service I mentioned the
incident to those present, but soon after the incident was
forgotten.
Over the following weeks, I started to notice a change in the
discharge from my ear. It appeared to be drying up and as
time went on I found I needed to apply the dry dressing less
and less in my ear until the day came I stopped altogether.

On 5 June that year I had my six monthly check up on my

ear with the local hospital ENT consultant. He did an
internal investigation and declared the ear was clean and
dry. He then arranged for another appointment in six
months time.

Even as I write this article, my ear has been dry for nearly
six years and I have had no pain or discomfort since.

The Sanctuary here in Blackpool has been a focus of

healing prayer for over 50 years. Visitors often comment on
the overriding sense of peace and energy that prevails
inside the building. We have had many testimonies of
people both observing and experiencing wondrous things
happening after they have made contact either by phone,
letter, and email or in person.

One day I asked the Lord for a sign and He responded –

HE, healed me. Thank You Father

 YOUR DAY
WITH
THE FATHER

MONDAY
I come into your presence, Father and ask that you help me to be
as trusting and close to you as many little children are with
their parents. May my life today reflect that you rejoice in my
company. May I rejoice in yours.

TUESDAY
Love can take many hearts and make them one, uniting them in
the love of God: it makes them open, friendly, peaceful, one in
mind and heart; it makes them capable of learning the will of
God.

WEDNESDAY

In busy days of noise and action - and especially when my

journey seems long and my energy is spent - lead me to be still,
Lord, and discover anew that you are with me.
THURSDAY
It is not only amidst our joys and hopes but also in our grief and
anguish, Lord that you are with us. Sustain us today in your love.

FRIDAY
May my horizon this day, Lord, not be so foreshortened that I
notice little. Instead, open my eyes that I may see afar and above
as well as in front and beneath me. Lead me to keep my life in
perspective and balance and discover that the thread of your
presence is interwoven through the events and people of this
day.

SATURDAY

Not only did people come to Jesus to be healed, but Jesus went
to them. "I will come and cure him," Jesus tells the Roman
centurion who asks help for his servant. (Mt 8, 7) He even cured
people who didn't know who he was. (Jn 5.1-18)

SUNDAY

Take everything that happens as coming from the hands of God,

who loves you; in this way every trial will become a source of
peace and joy since God is not a burden, but rather comfort, joy
and cheerfulness.
