resulted in almost completely REMOVING all signs of the heart
condition or high blood pressure. For four years I have had to
live, knowing I could drop dead at any second! Now pounds have
been taken off. Now I can take longer, more vigorous walks. Now
I am taking them, three times a day--REGARDLESS of circumstances
which might try to prevent! Now, no matter how many conferences
are scheduled, no matter how pressing some urgent executive
responsibility, I am going THREE TIMES or more a day to my prayer
room God has blessed me with, there to commune with Him, and keep
closer to Him! My life from now WILL BE FAR MORE ACTIVE--and that
new routine is already in effect and becoming well established. I
am crying out to God to PURGE from me all that hinders--to GIVE
more of His Spirit, His Power, His FAITH. I am asking Him to put
special HEALING GIFTS in His Church--special and more than before!
Brethren, THERE HAS TO BE AN ABOUT-FACE!
I am not ashamed to lead off in this. I am not ashamed to
set you the EXAMPLE! I am HAPPY and REJOICING in God's chastening
He has given me, and dong my utmost to respond to it.
WILL YOU DO THE SAME?
Now DON'T fast for Mrs. Armstrong! But I feel pretty sure
that EVERY ONE OF YOU do seriously NEED to FAST for YOUR OWN
SELF!--to help you draw closer to GOD! To search down deeply into
your OWN soul! To find what YOU need to repent of--what YOU need
to confess, acknowledge, and turn from.
It may be that God is STILL WAITING for this spiritual
AWAKENING to spread through the WHOLE CHURCH--on down to the LAST
MEMBER--even YOU! --before my dear wife can be delivered, and
completely HEALED and restored to active, vigorous HEALTH.
And let me REMIND all of you--or INFORM you if you had not
heard--TWO of our other ministers' wives are CRITICALLY ILL--and
facing death unless GOD INTERVENES! Their lives, too, may depend
on YOUR PRAYERS OF FAITH!
One is Mrs. Harold Jackson. He is a pastor in God's
Church. He needs his wife, as I need mine. She, too, is a
consecrated, loyal, competent HELP to Mr. Jackson who carries heavy
responsibilities. A week ago she would have died, had not God
performed a miracle. At my last report she is still living--but in
CRITICAL condition!
The other is Mrs. Glen White; Mr. White, a preaching
elder, is pastor of God's Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I
understand she has cancer. But GOD CAN HEAL CANCER--has healed
cancer a number of times by my prayers and those of other of God's
ministers! Her life, too, may depend on YOUR prayer of FAITH!
Brethren, pray for these ministers, too--I know how THEY
have suffered because of their wives' suffering! Are we SELF-
centered, not caring about these women? Or DO we have real
OUTGOING CONCERN--deep concern--over them? When ONE part of the
BODY of CHRIST suffers, do we ALL suffer--do we have this
