Luke’s Testimony of Healing
By John A. Luke
DEAR BRO. WHITE: I feel that it is my duty again to say something through the Review. I would have written before this, but I believed that there were others better qualified to edify and strengthen the brethren. I would say that I am still trying to overcome, and to hold up the cause of my dear Redeemer to the best of my poor ability. Dear brethren, I rejoice that I have heard the third angel's warning; that I was, in the good providence of our Father in heaven, shown the light of the present truth, and that the gifts are again restored to the church. I can speak from experience. Up to last September, I had been subject, for years, to one of the most distressing diseases afflicting the human family. Before the tent-meeting closed near Eddyville, Bro. Waggoner came to my house, and offered prayer in my behalf. My face was so swollen that my left eye was nearly closed. After he had prayed I felt relieved. The swelling left my face, and the inveterate disease, neuralgia, was rebuked, and I am now well. I have taught school four months, facing the bleak north-west winds two miles, and have been otherwise exposed, and I have not lost a day from sickness. I have read sister White's testimony, and would say to all who have any doubts, read all she has written. "Prove all things, and hold fast the good." Her testimony carries internal evidence of its being from God. Pray for me, brethren, that I may overcome, and that I may be fitted up to join the loud cry of the third angel. Yours hoping for a humble place in the kingdom.
JOHN A. LUKE.
