A “Stay-At-Home” Goes Out!

Norma Stibbs went on a trip to the Philippines with us some twenty years ago. She stayed in the background all the time but saw incredible healings, including blind eyes opened. She has been on many overseas trips since then and she has been consistent in her tremendous faith and love of God at all times! We have watched her grow tremendously in the Lord ever since. She and her husband, John, now pastor a church. You ‘ii find her story fascinating.

All of my life I had an overwhelming desire to see people healed, but I never dreamed that God could ever use me in such a wonderful way. I was a housewife who stayed home and took care of my family and home. I enjoyed what I did but there was a longing on the inside of me for something more.

When I heard about Charles and Frances Hunter and the ministry they have I knew I had to know more. I asked my church to order their video healing school and I agreed to be in charge of it and to conduct a class every Saturday morning. I had no idea what was about to happen to me! As the classes began I knew something different was taking place in me.

Charles and Frances made healing look so simple and easy but always let you know that it was in the name of Jesus and by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. The method of healing with the arms and legs growing out was so incredible because you could see it happen. I watched the other people in the class and saw the excitement in them as they watched the videos. After the class we did exactly what they said and found those who had back pain, neck pain, etc. As we began to minister to these people you could hear the snapping and crackling of bones as they were being healed. We had slipped discs, degenerated discs, bursitis, arthritis and stiff necks which were instantly healed. I knew everything that was happening was by the Holy Spirit but it was happening through me.

The words which kept coming to me that forever changed my life were “If Charles and Frances can do it, you can do it too.” God is no respecter of persons. If they could do it, I could too. I stepped out in the most incredible faith and simply believed those words.

I started laying hands on the sick believing they would be healed. God works through faith. I have seen tumors dissolve right in front of my eyes as I curse them in the name of Jesus. I started commanding deaf ears to open and they pop open. I went into the hospital to visit a woman who was in traction because of back injuries, I asked her if she had to stay in traction all the time and she replied it was just six hours a day. I asked if I could check to see if her legs were the same length, and her one leg was a good two inches shorter. I said, “Watch what God is about to do.” I made the commands and her leg grew out and she got up, moved around and was healed. Her back problems were instantly healed and the next day after her doctor checked her out she was discharged from the hospital.

Since then I have traveled to many nations with Charles and Frances. On a trip to Honduras, Frances asked me to go to the wheelchair section. At that moment all the faith that I had felt like it drained out my toes. What was I going to do if they didn’t get healed. Then I remembered what was taught on the videos, you make the command in the name of Jesus and go on. It’s up to God to heal them. The minute Frances said to start ministering I went to the first wheelchair and said, “Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to you, in the name of Jesus rise up and walk.” Nothing happened. I went to the next wheelchair and said the same thing, nothing happened. Then, I remembered if Charles and Frances can do it, I can do it too. My faith was coming back. I went to the third wheelchair and as I began to say the same thing again, I heard everyone shouting and turned to see the man in the first wheelchair stand up and walk. I turned back to minister to the woman in the third wheelchair and before I could finish she got up. I was so excited I went like fire and just said, “In the name of Jesus rise up and walk,” and six people came out of wheelchairs!

Needless to say my life has never been the same. It’s so wonderful to see the Holy Spirit heal through you. I’ve thought about all the healings that have taken place since I first watched the videos and all the lives that have been changed and I guess the one that stands out in my mind the most was a man in his late fifties who was blind since birth and wanted so badly to see. I laid my thumbs on his eyes and made the commands and rebuked the spirit of blindness. I removed my thumbs and he still couldn’t see. I said the same thing again and when I removed my thumbs he said he could see light. That wasn’t good enough, so I began to make the same command again, but he spoke out and said, “I want to see her (meaning me).” Through my tears I lifted my voice to the Lord and said, “God give him the desire of his heart, open his eyes and let him see me.” I removed my thumbs and he opened his eyes and saw me perfectly. I was the very first person he had ever seen in his lifetime. We hugged and praised God together and every one was shouting. I asked how many of them wanted to receive Jesus and their hands shot up in the air. They prayed and received Jesus and then received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I’ve learned that healing is the easiest way to bring people to the Lord. I’ve shown the video healing course about thirty times. I’ve purchased them and placed them in churches where I’ve ministered and also sent them to Ireland and Ivory Coast, Africa. I’ve been blessed to train thousands how to heal the sick as I’ve traveled to twenty three nations and throughout the United States.

I now have my own church and the first thing we did was to show the video healing school and train the people to minister to the sick. Charles and Frances gave me the confidence that changed my life, and “if I can do it, you can do it, too.” Get ready for a life-changing experience!
