HEALING OF HEART PROBLEMS

Merissa at her baptism

My name is Merissa and i'm from Angola. I've been living in Holland for about 8 years. And i have a 12 year old daughter.

6 years ago i had to undergo a major heart surgery because i had a big heartproblem and they had to perform open heart surgery on me.

A few years after the surgery in 2004 i had to go back to the hospital because i was having problems with my heart again. I lost consciousness on an average of 3 times a week and every time i had to be taken to the hospital with an ambulance. The doctors told me i had to have an other open heart surgery. My chances of surviving the operation would be around 20%. They to make up my will and write down who would have to take care of my daughter. All of this because i was not likely to survive the surgery.

I felt desperate and depressed. I didn't feel like eating and i became sicker.

I wanted to make an appointment with the hospital about when i would be admitted and have the surgery. But because there was a very long waiting list, i was re-directed to the Sophia hospital in Zwolle. It was at that time i got to know Christ Ressurection Power Ministry.

I had met Pastor Isaac a few years before when we were taking the same course, but i didn't know then that he was a pastor. When i came in and saw Pastor Isaac, i was pleasantly surprised. I told him my problem and the stress i was going through.

Pastor told me that there was hope, that there are two kinds of reports.

One is the human report and the other is God's report. The report the doctors had was the human report. And Pastor told me i had to have hope and faith that Jesus still performs miracles and is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The pastors of the chruch started to pray for me and during this prayer i felt that something happened inside of me. Pastor told me to believe that i was healed. When i came home i already felt better and every day and step by step i was doing better. The next Sunday when i came to church again, Pastor Isaac told me to to make an appointment with the hospital to have my heart examinated. The following day i immediatly called the hospital i no longer wanted to have the surgery as i felt a lot better but the doctors didn't believe me and agreed to examin my heart again. They examined my heart very well but couldn't find any problem any more. I was completely healed. The doctors were amazed and almost couldn't believe it. It is through prayer and through the mighty name of Jesus that i am healed! Since that time i haven't experience any problems with my heart anymore.

I gave my life to Jesus and Pastor Isaac baptized me after that.
