A lady
stood in line one day in Leeds,
England,
waiting for a bus. A nurse in uniform was next to her and they engaged in conversation.
They discovered that they were both Christians and then the talk turned to
the subject of sickness. The woman told the nurse that she had a son with a
diseased thumb and she contemplated taking him to the hospital. ‘Don’t do
that,’ said the nurse, ‘they may take it off. I’ll give you the address of
someone who will pray for him and the Lord will heal his thumb’. By this time
the bus had arrived; and although it was not going in the way the nurse
wished to travel, she boarded it with the lady so that they might continue
the conversation. On the bus the woman said to her: ‘I, too, am sick. I have
a cancer on the breast’. Taking a small book from her bag, the nurse wrote on
it the name and address of Smith Wigglesworth. ‘Write to him and you will get
a reply’. Having finished her work for God, the nurse alighted at a
convenient stop.

The sick
woman wrote to Brother Wigglesworth, so we went to visit her and found the
cancer in an advanced stage. Prayer was made for her, and then we left to make
the twenty-five mile journey home. God completely delivered the woman, making
her well and strong in her body. Feeling extremely well, she undertook to
decorate her house. While emptying a cupboard she found an old Bible, and on
opening it her eyes fell on a passage she had underlined with red ink. It
read: ‘Thine health shall spring forth
speedily’. She had marked that passage twelve years previously…….
