Local Ni-Van Stories
Healing by God is not new. It occurred in both Old and New Testament times. In the Old Testament God said, “…for I am the Lord that healeth thee” Exodus 15: 26. The scriptures record much more detail about Gods willingness to heal, in particular through Jesus. He healed all who came to Him. The scriptures declare, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8. It follows that healing is part of Gods promises to believers today. Below are examples of such healings amongst the people of Vanuatu.
George Healed of Paralysis
George was crippled for 6 months. Caused by a disease in his spine. He could not move legs or arms and was spoon fed by his wife for the 6 months prior to people from the church arriving. They prayed for him, and he immediately started to move. He started walking and gradually gained strength. George went back to work a couple of weeks later.
Martha healed from Blindness
Martha was blind for approximately 2 years. Through her daughter Morty, church people were invited to pray for her mum. Within minutes she burst out ‘speaking in tongues’ as she received the Holy Spirit. After another 5 minutes she turned to her daughter and in her native tongue, Bislama, told her daughter to say thank you, as she could now see.
Healed of Infertility
Manses’s wife was unable to concieve children. She was told by medical specialists she could never have children. Through a mutual friend, church members visited and prayed for her to be healed by God. She was completely healed and now has two healthy children.
