Testimony of William Murphy

 

Testimony of Healing by William Murphy (Maghaberry Prison, N Ireland)

 

I first saw Martin in prison, on the wings and in the yard when he was visiting inmates. I asked some of the other inmates who he was. The reply that I got was that it is Martin also known as Jesus, as they said that he could cure people by praying for them. Many prisoners told me that he had helped them. I thought to myself headers: they have healed over time by themselves.

 

Through time I saw more and more of Martin and a few more rumours of inmates who had been healed, these people were good people. Anyway a few months ago whilst playing football I fell and landed on my elbow, which ended up with a chipped bone. This was painful, I could not straighten my arm properly without pain. I got talking to another prisoner about the Bible. He's for, Im against, we had a good chat. Then I was placed in the punishment unit known as the Boards for a week. Someone sent Martin over I thought for a laugh. Martin got talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and to give him his dues I listened but not completely as I am a non-believer in Christianity. For I have friends who say they are Christians but in my eyes are not. But I could se Martin was different, he had no need to come into this prison or even see me. He did not have a lot of time to spend with me. Before he left he asked me if I had anything wrong with my health. I lied and told him no. He said he would be over to see me. True to his word he entered into my cell one day, to visit and see how I was getting on.

 

We chatted for a while and he asked me again if there was anything wrong with me, as he could see that I had a discomfort with my arm. This time I told him what had happened while I was playing football. Then Martin came out with it, he said the Lord Christ Jesus can heal you. I thought into myself no way as I have a chipped bone in my elbow. Martin asked if he could pray with me. I thought why not it won't do any harm. He put his hand on my shoulder, not my elbow where the probem was. We both bowed our heads and Martin started praying, at the end we both said our Amen's. Martin then asked me to do something I could not do before. So I straightened my arm out and NO PAIN. I then sat moving my elbow in all different directions just to find a sore spot ad to my amazement I could not find sore spot. This was over a month ago and there's still not a bit of pain.
