I want to share a testimony from 13-year-old Sarah who was healed from a bad sun allergy that caused her skin to breakout in a terrible rash. Not only was this an uncomfortable skin condition, but it was also embarrassing to her and drew negative attention with people staring at her. Fortunately, her mom Pam has been studying teachings about the goodness of God and the full salvation of Jesus Christ (which includes healing), and she taught this to her children. The family has come to believe in authority and healing, and on multiple occasions they have put their faith into practice to defeat the works of the devil. Here are a few key passages that were relevant to this victory:
Satan is responsible for sickness
John 10:10 NKJV The thief (Satan) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Acts 10:38 NKJV how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Jesus paid for our healing
1 Peter 2:24 NKJV who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
We must exercise authority to resist the devil
Luke 4:39 NKJV So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.
James 4:7 NKJV Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Please read Sarah’s testimony below in which she personally put into practice faith & authority to get victory over the devil. I am very proud of Sarah for believing in Jesus and putting into practice what He taught. I hope that Sarah will share this victory and approach to exercising faith with all her friends. Also, I commend Pam for being a disciple-maker within her own home who taught the family members about Jesus’ full salvation and how to operate in authority. Well done Pam! It doesn’t take a lot of teaching to begin operating in the area of healing. Always remember that the simplest message is that God has given us authority over the devil. Jesus gave authority to His disciples and they were able to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. Jesus never taught them healing doctrine – He merely ‘gave them authority.’ Keep it simple and great things will happen for you, as well!
God bless you…

Hi Mr. Collier,
My name is Sarah, I’m 13 years old and I used to have a very bad sun allergy. I was very embarrassed so I wore a long sleeve jacket all the time to cover it up. People would stare at me everywhere I went. I wanted to have normal skin.
Early this spring it came back and Mom bought me expensive sunscreen to use on my arms and face. I didn’t want to always put the sunscreen on. It was hard to remember and it was painful to put on because it burned the rash.
Then Mom started teaching me that I was oppressed by the evil one and I wanted it to stop. So when I wanted to go outside again, Mom told me to put the sunscreen on and I told her that I didn’t need it because I was going to rebuke it. When I went outside I started to feel it was coming back. I rebuked it and it immediately went away. And it hasn’t come back since.
So I know that Jesus can heal anybody if you have faith because Jesus said that he can heal you. Thank you for teaching Mom this because if it wasn’t for you teaching her I would still have the problem.
Sincerely,
Sarah
