My father was a communist in life, (but thank God like the dying thief he believed prior to his passing). As a result of being deprived of the Gospel, I grew up with socialist views on life being taught that religion was the opium of the masses. I had my doubts whether God was real or not, but in the summer of 1989 all that changed when an evangelist by the name of Sandy Thompson came to Rathcoole to heal the sick and cast out demons. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and tackled what a lot of evangelicals shied away from at that time, and amazingly the sick got healed.

I witnessed the Gospel in action for myself as a young sceptic from Rathcoole. Two rows up from me there was a lady who could not move without the aid of crutches. As Sandy laid hands on her fore head, she hit the floor with out anyone behind her to catch her! I thought ...If she was not in pain before, she certainly is now!! It was like an operating scene, the way she reacted to the anointing. To my astonishment, the lady after the five minute operation was over, jumped to her feet and began to dance in Jesus name! At that point I had no other alternative but to believe. There is no argument against the Gospel when it is goes into action in that manner.

Sorry I missed the 2008 CASTLEWELLAN but I had a my pregnant wife to look after! Baby is due in March! Praise the Lord.

A midwife had warned me about a negative report that the pregnancy specialist had received regarding my wife. The report confirmed that my wife's inward parts were not responding to the fertility treatment that Antrim area hospital had her on at that time, which is a low form of temporarily barrenness. The midwife on behalf of the Doctor gave my wife the impression there was a very low possibility of our having a child. As my wife shared the sad news with me, I told her... "not to worry!", as the word of the Lord to me during my devotional time on the morning of our wedding was .... "Your seed shall be mighty upon the earth!"

Well not long after that my wife conceived thanks to the word of the Lord, and the prayer of a local Pastor. We had (let me add) the world wide prayer network that surrounded Lakeland at that time as we made our prayer request known to those who were causing heaven to manifest upon the earth, in the healing of sick bodies, and even the RESURRECTION of the dead!! My friend’s son was 16 min dead! (That's another story that captured the attention of the media.)

Well as you can imagine my wife's doctor was impressed by her pregnancy that followed!

TESTIMONY (USA) - Kristen Miller

Dear Elsie and Keith,

I do not recall if I have ever written to you. You spoke somewhere around the Seattle area I believe in 1993. It was a meeting of several nights. You spoke of a God's word to you for America.

The last night of the meeting you delivered a word, "God wanted to heal someone's son who was deaf." When I as you about this you said that a prayer partner has called in this word of knowledge from Hawaii. My husband and I told you of a boy in Romania who was legally blind and deaf that we were trying to adopt. (Not our son, but hope to be our son).

You prayed for him. I visited him in the early summer. He was not longer deaf (although blindness remains). The adoption never took place although we attempted it for 10 years. He is now 21 years old. He lives in Beclean, Romania in Bistrita Nasaud. We rent an apartment and visit him two or three times a year. His hearing is very good.

Thank you for praying and of course we thank God for this gift and grace He has continued to give to our Ovidiu. May God bless and keep you in His way.

In His Love and Care, Kristen Miller


TESTIMONY FROM WASHINGTON STATE, USA. - Cynthia Baxter

Dear Mr. Gerner,

I saw you at my church around 1995 in Washington. You were very unassuming and I knew nothing about you. I was in the midst of deep depression and a time of personal tragedy. I had been diagnosed with depression and degenerative arthritis of the spine. You gave a “Word Of Knowledge” that someone had hit a “brick wall” and couldn’t go any further. I don’t think it would have mattered what you said because I had already decided I was going up to the front for prayer as soon as possible. I received prayer about my back from you and the pastors. Another brother prophesied over me concerning the depression...”you are angry...”, he said.

Well, I went back to the doctor that had diagnosed my spinal condition about one month later and he could not find any evidence of the arthritis. The Lord healed my spine completely.

Then I began to have breakthrough with my depression. I realised “depression is self pity and self pity is a sin...but confess your sins one to another and you will be healed!” I soon was off the lithium.

My life has steadily improved as I continued to stay with the Lord. I live with my family in the Seattle area now and I am married to a Very unusual man who walks in a level of grace that I had not previously understood. God has been good to me.

I had been thinking of you and sharing the testimony of my spine with many people since a church out of Redding, California has been visiting our church and ministering healing through Words of Knowledge and imparting joy. It reminded me of when you, so I started thinking about you and your ministry and wondering about you.

I had been in such a bad way since 1990 that I had little energy to do anything except survive, even though I had experienced a measure of healing from the “mental” illness. This April 16, 2007 I had a revelation that transformed me from the inside out. I had been born again and spirit filled since 1986, but my life was lived out of the flesh. I not only continued to struggle with a low-level of depression, but with panic and anxiety as well. All the while I had so much guilt because I knew I was in sin somehow. I would repent and cry out, but little changed.

So, on April 16, I had a revelation that I was a spirit...that I HAD a soul and that I lived IN a body. I listened to a teacher who imparts revelation about the human make-up. . For the first time in my life I understand what “living from my spirit man” means.

Now, the other day I was compelled to look through the books at the second-hand store and I saw your name. I lost my breath and almost cried in the store.

God gave me a gift. It was your book, “A New Day.” The C.L. Parker charts made sense to me. I am understanding how Heaven invades Earth and I am experiencing praying from the throne and “legislating from Heaven”.

For the first time since 1990 I am thinking like a normal human. I don’t have any depression or anxiety. I feel like I was born again AGAIN.

Well, God bless you, the ministry, your family... It wasn’t just that you “legislated from Heaven” and spoke a Word of Knowledge over me.... Your very obedience affected me because of who you knew you were IN CHRIST.

I am glad I was dissatisfied and hungry. God is good. Wow!

I have been unable to sleep much lately because I am so excited to get up and live and spend time in the Holy Spirit. This deep peace is such a gift from the Lord. Praise His Name.

Well, thank you once more for your faithful service to the King!

Sincerely,

Cynthia Baxter - 29 April 07
