Healed of alcoholism "He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength" |

"My father and grandfather had died alcoholics, and I too was battling this scourge. I had attended may conferences, prayer meetings and had been prayed with through laying on of hands, but it hadn't worked. I had also attended healing of memories seminars. But I wasn't going to give up! I knew the Lord had in mind a complete healing! I arrived at Medjugorie with a prayerful determination, I was going to bombard Heaven. I knew this was a last chance of sorts, as I felt the weight of my alcoholism pulling me towards that slippery slope and satan taunting me, you'll end up like your father! I found myself at Vicka's patio, packed with people desperately trying to speak to her, or get her attention in any way they could. I felt so sorry for her, and thought I won't be a part of this, even though I wanted so badly to have her pray over me. I inched my way over to this area, and leaned up against the railing, closed my eyes, and began to pray. I opened my eyes and there in front of me stood Vicka smiling as she was inching her way up her stairs. I grasped her hands and placed them on my head, folded my hands in prayer and pleaded with my eyes. She prayed briefly over me, and disappeared up the stairs. I felt such a closeness to heaven, a feeling I had never had before or since." Cathy was healed that day - all glory to God! "It was about 2 months before I realized I wasn't drinking anymore, and didn't have any cravings! That was 17 years ago. I have endured tragedies and heartbreak since, but regardless of what crisis I faced I never had a temptation to drink - only a desire to pray." |
