PRAISE BE TO JESUS!!!!!!!

We have a PRAISE REPORT for you.

We went to the doctor to have Rudolph's prescriptions refilled.

The doctor took Rudolph's blood pressure (several times) and said, "it is out of bounds." The doctor looked frightened. He gave him an electra-cardia gram which showed that the wall around his heart was thickened. He took a chest x-ray,which was fine, a prostate test, also fine.

The doctor could not understand how a person with such high blood pressure could function. (Rudolph said he felt fine) The doctor was so concerned that he ordered an echo-cardio gram.

Our daughter Elaine set up the appointment. Rudolph had the echo done. They also saw a thickening of the wall of the heart. This doctor, a heart specialist, cardiologist, ordered a stress test. Rudolph passed the stress test. He did not even tire. Notwithstanding, the scan showed that there was narrowing of the arteries that lead to the heart. This was very serious.

The cardiologist spoke very firmly to us and said that to determine the seriousness of his condition, he must have an angio-gram done. This would determine how many arteries were narrowed or it would also show that nothing was wrong.

We questioned him regarding other alternatives and he said emphatically that there were none. He said the way things looked now, Rudolph could drop dead without warning. He said this was the "silent killer" because you have no symptoms. He said you can say you don't have a flat tire but that does not mean that you don't have one if you attempt to drive your car. He said you can't deny the findings. He said that he could not even recommend another stress test because it may kill him. If that was not enough, he added that the angio-gram that was mandatory had a risk of death in itself.

He said that the dye used to go through the arteries could kill someone allergic to it. He also said that there is a risk that the arteries would be too narrow for the dye to go through which could kill you. Also, he said that there have been cases where the dye touched the heart and death occured. There was also a risk of bleeding and the other extreme clotting that could cause death. He said that many people had died just from the procedure also called catherization.

We had to make a choice. It was not difficult because we knew that The Lord was with us. We know that nothing is TOO HARD for our GOD.

We would show them how Our God that is MORE THAN ENOUGH works.

We told the doctor to make the arrangements for the angio-gram procedure.

We left the doctor's office, drove to our office, and in the car, we prayed, exerted our authority, bound the devil in the name of Jesus and praised thanked The Lord.

We said that when they conduct the angio-gram, they will find nothing wrong, no narrowed arteries, nothing, everything would be normal in Jesus' Name. By His stripes we were healed, we are healed and we will stay healed in Jesus' Name.

After we prayed and thanked The Lord, Rudolph said, "let's go in the office and lift our hands and voices and just praise The Lord," and we did. We walked around the office shouting, praising The Lord with raised hands and arms and loud voices, Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise Be To Jesus, Glory, Glory, Glory!!!!!!!!! Praise The Lord For His Mercy endures forever. We shouted, in joy knowing that all was well with us. We knew that Rudolph was whole. We then read scriptures and rested in The Lord.

People asked Rudolph, are you afraid? He said "no, when they go in they will find nothing wrong." He kept saying that to everyone that asked. He told the doctors that they would find nothing. They looked at him strange, he didn't care. We know our God, He is a Big God. We did not care if people thought that we were crazy.

We were standing on The Word Of God.

We know what The Word Of God says. We trust our Lord. We don't focus on the symptoms, the doctor's tests, people's remarks, people's faces, the way that we feel or anything else. We focus on What The Bible, God's Word says.

Jesus told the woman with the issue of blood that her faith made her whole. He said regarding the Centurion,(that told Jesus just to speak The Word and his servant would be healed, "I have not found such faith no not in Israel".

We know that "faith" is the medium of exchange in the spirit world, we know that without faith, it is impossible to please God, and we want to please Him.

We know that we have been dealt "the measure of faith" and we exercise that faith given to us. Faith is one of the "fruits of the spirit". We are so blessed. Thank you Jesus for mountain moving faith. We purposed in our heart to use our faith in this situation and put our complete trust in Jesus. He already obtained healing for us, so we received it.

All of our family (especially our children) was concerned, worried is a better word, they all love their father very much.

Valerie is a Rhema Bible Training Center Graduate. She agreed with us that Rudolph had his healing now. She stood in proxy for Rudolph at her church and her pastor anointed her with oil and prayed for Rudolph.

She asked some members of Rhema Bible Church to get in agreement with her that Rudolph is healed (the last day of Campmeeting, she and her husband attended). Some people from Rhema called to encourage us, and asked us to call and give them the praise report. Rudolph said, I will give it to you now. They will find nothing wrong when they test me, by His stripes I am healed he said.

You see some people said that they were praying but you could sense doubt and fear in their voices.

Elaine works with doctors every day. She is privy to medical tests and results. She is highly respected in the medical community here. She has witnessed people with the same symptoms die. She believed the doctor's report.

The reports were accurate but we knew that they were subject to change, because we believe the report of the Lord, that Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the Law, sickness & disease, (poverty and spiritual death the other two).

We believe Isa.53:4&5, Isa.54:17, I Peter 2:24, Matt 8:17, Ps.103;3 &107:20 and all the scriptures pertaining to healing, health, wholeness as we believe the entire Word Of God, so we acted on it.

Rudolph preached to Elaine and Allan. He explained to them that The Lord had already healed him. He said that no matter what the doctors found or thought they found did not mean anything because God had him and the doctors would find nothing when they performed the angio-gram. He said, they are going to look like suckers when they finish the process and check the results.

Rudolph kept praising The Lord through it all (for about a week). He emphasized Jesus. He told them that our God can do anything if we believe. He said I believe, now you watch what The Lord does.

This experience brought out the preach in Rudolph. He talked loud, bold, confident and full of faith. You felt like you were in a salvation, healing meeting,(revival meetings) and Rudolph was the evangelist. They listened out of respect. Each time he talked, they listened. You could tell that they wanted to believe but were not fully persuaded. They had to wait and see what the result of the catherization.

Elizabeth was easier to believe because she saw The Lord work a miracle in her husband's life.

A few months ago, we laid hands and prayed for Mike when the doctor's said that the arteries in his neck were clogged and he could die. He passed out at work.

We went to their home in N. J. (about an hour drive from Nanuet, N.Y.) We laid hands on his right side first and a few days later we laid hands on the left side (the report showed subsequently that the arteries in his neck on the left side were also clogged, both sides almost completely clogged).

We prayed the prayer of agreement, bound the devil in The Name Of Jesus and commanded his body to be whole in Jesus' Name. We then shouted, praised the Lord that Mike had received his healing.

We took them a cassette from the Winter Bible Seminar (1998). The tape was the Rhema singers singing about faith. It is just what that needed to boost their faith. We also gave them books on healing and faith to read. We gave them The Word Bible (more like the today's English , the King James Bible is difficult for some people to read). They love that Bible and read it faithfully.

Beth said that Mike was just examined this week by the doctors. They said that his blood pressure is good. If the pressure is the same next month, they will reduce the strength of the medication that he takes. The Lord performed a miracle in his life. They thought that he would have to have surgery, if they could operate in his condition.

The Lord showed Himself faithful and healed Mike and we give God the glory. They agreed with us as we prayed and The Lord honored our faith. He worked with Rudolph & I confirming His Word with signs following. Mike was healed and will stay healed in The Name of Jesus. . You could tell that Beth was still anxious about Her father but operated in faith, believing The Word Of God. Brother Kenneth E. Hagin said, "faith will operate in your heart with doubt in your mind" because The Word is disposited in your heart. All you do then is STAND on that Word (Ephesians 6:14) when negative situations (of all kinds) arise.

Rudolph told her that, "Don't worry about a thing, the devil is messing with me now, we are going to show him how The Word Of God works, how strong our faith is".

She sounded relieved, and laughed.

Rudolph Jr. spoke encouraging words but he too was concerned.

We stood on God's Word and trusted in The Lord.

On the day of the procedure, we wore our JESUS IS LORD caps, shirts and our faith jackets.

We do not wear Christian clothing for nothing. We have JESUS IS LORD license frames on all of our vehicles. We want people to know who we serve. We are not ashamed of The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST.

As we pulled into the hospital parking lot, "When You Are Saved You Got It Made" was playing from the Gospel Album, "Shouting For Jesus" by Rudolph Isley.

Allan & Elaine parked next to us, they heard the song and smiled. We all walked into the hospital together.

The Last thing that Rudolph said before they rolled him into the treatment room was "JESUS!!!!!!"

He was able to watch the screen as they tested him. Through the entire procedure, he kept saying , thank you Jesus. Everyone heard him in the treatment room, the doctors and attendants.

Remember Paul and Silas, in prison? And at midnight, After they prayed, they praised The Lord and the prisoners (and everyone around ) heard them. There was an earthquake and they were set free from their bonds. An entire household was saved because God's people praised HIM.

This was midnight, a bad time, but Rudolph (after praying) praised The Lord out loud and he was set free. Burdens were removed and yokes destroyed because of the Anointing, The Power Of Almighty God.

The people in the hospital knew that we were ministers of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ.

We prayed if there were any there in the hospital that were not saved, receive Jesus into their heart as their Savior and Lord of their life.

We know that life and death are in the power of the tongue.Proverbs 18:21& 4:20-22. God,s Word is life.Rudolph kept speaking life. We have what we say. God gave him life.

He came out of the treatment room (the procedure took about 20 minutes) laughing, shouting and saying,"Praise The Lord." Most people come out sleeping but he came out praising The Lord. We had to calm him down, he was so excited. He was taken to the recovery room where he had to stay for

8 hours for observation. The doctor came in with the test results about an hour and 1/2 later. This doctor comes straight to the point, he pulls no punches, does not have much of a bed-side manner. He said, "I have good news, we found nothing. I don't what happened." Rudolph said"I know what happened, and the doctor replied, "I know you do", smiled faintly and walked away.

We all laughed. Elaine and Allan spent the day with us and were so loving & supportive. We stayed at their home during this time. Elaine took the day off from her job to be with us. That was so thoughtful. We are so appreciative. Allan is on vacation.

They saw a miracle that day.

Allan told Rudolph, "that's a great praise report".

We are blessed to have such a loving family.

We know that the family's faith level has been elevated because of Rudolph's trial and his triumph over it. JESUS gets ALL THE PRAISE, HONOR AND GLORY for this victory and all victories in our life.

HALLELUJAH JESUS, PRAISE BE TO JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rudolph's faith made him whole. We continue to praise and thank the Lord for His Mercy, Grace and His Faithfulness.

Now everyone is joyful that all is well with Rudolph. They learned that we do serve a POWERFUL GOD.

The doctor went to the bed of the man that had the procedure right after Rudolph and said, " I have bad news, there are many clogged arteries in your body, you will need by- pass surgery." We felt bad for the man and his wife and prayed for him.

We knew that we had the victory when we prayed and it became manifest when the doctor presented the test results that "they could find nothing wrong."

Rev. Gerald Rollinson (a Rhema Bible Training Graduate) called us the night before the angio-gram procedure. He said that he was praying in tongues and just in The Lord's Presence and The Lord gave him a word for Rudolph. He said that this word was bubbling in his spirit, With long life will I satisfy you, all your days will be fulfilled."

GOD is SO GOOD all the time. We love THE LORD with all of our heart. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR HIM.

WE SERVE A MIGHTY MIGHTY GOD, HE MAKES US A MIGHTY PEOPLE.

We just wanted to share the great news. We know that you rejoice and praise The Lord with us. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be blessed in Jesus' Name,

Love
