Thankful for Air


by Louise Willms


It was Thanksgiving 2009. Our Church was having a sharing time. We were asked “What are you thankful for”? I remember simply saying “air”.

I had just recently been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. It was becoming very difficult for me to breathe. I loved to sing during worship time. I would start to sing and after two or three words into the song I had no air. It was a very scary time for me because my brother died from this disease.My doctor told me there was no cure, there was no medication or exercise I could do that would slow down the calcification of my lungs. Every day it was getting worse. I prayed, my husband prayed, my family prayed, my friends prayed. But there seemed to be no change. My breathing became more and more difficult.

In January our Church had special prayer nights. I believe it was the third evening that we were asked to especially pray for the sick in our Church. I said to my husband “I really don’t want to go there. I’ve already had so much prayer. God knows what I need. I don’t want to make a spectacle of myself”.

However, when the night came, we went. After there had been general prayer, we were asked “If you want prayer for a specific need, come and sit on this chair, you’ll be anointed with oil and the elders will pray for you”.

After an inner struggle, I stepped forward and was prayed for.

I went back to my seat as though nothing had happened, except I knew I had done what God wanted of me.

In February I went for another series of tests. Shortly after this I remember one Sunday morning while in the worship service I turned to my husband and whispered “I just sang a whole song! I had enough air!”

In March I saw my specialist for a follow up to my tests. He looked at his chart, he looked at me and said, “You are of the 2% of people where the disease reverses itself. It’s gone! Your lungs are fine!”

I looked at him all teary eyed and almost shouted “Praise the Lord!”

Eight months later I simply say “Thank you Jesus for what you have done!”

Psalm 118:13 says “ I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.”

In His mercy Jesus gave me a miracle. Hallelujah!

Healing Testimony  :  Aquilla Nash

Ministry

Aquilla Nash was dying when she met God in 1961. Complications following the birth of her second son resulted in acute hemorrhaging. In spite of the efforts of several physicians to revive her, she began to feel her life ebbing away. In those moments, she turned to God and committed her life to him. That dramatic and decisive confrontation with God also led to her healing.

A short time after her conversion experience, she received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit began to operate in her life. After a time of growth in the grace and knowledge in Him, the Lord called her into full-time ministry.

When Aquilla ministers the Word of God, she often speaks to the listeners through a Word of Knowledge and the Gift of Prophecy. Through these gifts, the Lord gives encouragement to countless lives and brings miracles of healing and deliverance. Throughout her ministry, these blessings have been experienced by thousands and their lives have been changed and strengthened by the Lord.

A seasoned teacher of the Word of God, she teaches Salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus, which is God's greatest gift to mankind. She also teaches a deeper walk with Christ through the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, the understanding of each believer's position in the body of Christ, and obtaining a balance in all things.

Aquilla is the host of the weekly television program, 'The Prophetic Whisper’,which airs on TBN and The TBN Church Channel. It has a potential viewership around the world of 2.3 billion viewers.

'The Prophetic Whisper' is also translated into the Arabic language and is seen throughout the Middle East on The Healing Network, which has a potential viewership of approximately 400 million.

People around the world are receiving healings and miracles as they respond to the Word of the Lord. To God be ALL the glory!
