Before I begin, let me give you some history. I moved my family (two beautiful children Zachery and Lauren) here from North Carolina in the fall of 2007. I wanted to separate myself from all that was ever familiar to me and grow so close to the Lord. I have always been a free spirit and rather defiant, so my loving parents reluctantly gave permission. As I drove across the United States, I was just so at peace and free. I talked to God the whole way. Once I arrived in Arizona it was the early morning on the fourth day. the moon was so enormous in this vast open space, it was the biggest brightest moon I'd ever seen. It was as though I could touch it, I asked God to protect us and guide me. For the first 3 months things seemed to be going well. Zachery and Lauren were in great schools and had really adjusted. Then the news came I was the first to be laid of from the career I had moved here for. As a single mom savings was never real big on priorities and when it was, well then there were small amounts placed away. The rental house I could not afford, so we moved to a smaller one. I looked day and night for work and could not find anything. As a last resort I had to send my beloved children back to North Carolina until I could either find employment or pack up and come home. This was definitely what my parents encouraged me to do. But I could not. It was not pride but I just knew that I had a calling here and this was where I was to be. I cried so many days and nights, I could have made a lake. I would find myself on different church steps after hours praying, "what am I to do"? I was a present day Job.
And then a small glimmer of hope, I was offered a great position at Grand Canyon University. Everyday as I walked to campus I prayed. There was a beautiful tree right by the canal that stands all by itself and I would be just so drawn to it. I sometimes sat underneath it and prayed. I was comforted and my self- confidence began to grow again. Yes, I have learned I can do nothing without Him.
On April 16th, 2010 at 3:10 I was a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling at 40 mph. Not very far from the tree that I prayed under, maybe 40 yards. I totaled the car. The driver was texting on her cell phone. I had just emailed my family and told them how much I loved them that I couldn't wait to see them. I had just enough time to say JESUS. I felt every fiber of my being leaved me. The next thing I remember I was surrounded by people kneeling around me. A lady, whom I think was Spanish, she had dark hair, was asking me to keep praying on her knees beside me. I couldn't make out her face. I was praying so loud in my heavenly tongue. As I am lying on my back holding her hand, I see out of my right side a person walking around me, not saying anything. They were just walking back and forth, with their head down. A dark figure.
I kept trying to look in that direction but every time I did the lady holding my hand in prayer kept saying, "look at me, keep praying." And so I did, looking back over the past nine months I can't help but wonder, was that death. The enemy waiting for me to give up? NEVER! I said and say to him. Jesus is my all and all! In the ambulance I am praying so loud in my heavenly language, I know they are thinking, okay she's done, she's crazy. But I kept on...."God you are my God I love you let me live to see my beloved children again Zachery and Lauren they are waiting for me. "The pain was so unbearable. By the time I arrived at the hospital I had lost so much blood, I was a level one trauma. As the doctors began to work on me, I pulled one doctor close, right down into my face. I said to him fix my leg that is all that is broken. I have family along way away and I am going to see them! As they roll me in for a scan I am going down a long cold hallway, I feel a knot on the back of my head. I begin again to speak my Fathers words, nothing missing, nothing broken, in JESUS NAME! The knot vanishes. When I awoke from surgery I couldn't speak, I didn't want too I just wanted to stay in that moment of who He is and who He showed me He is. I still get a knot in my throat, I know I always will. I am so grateful!
I am at home now recovering, mid August. I flip through the television and come across David Turner speaking. I did not know at the time he was even a minister, I thought he was a businessman, selling something. I stopped to hear. My spirit was so drawn to his words it was as though he was in my living room. Even though I was by myself I said out loud "I want to meet him, Lord" Three weeks later at my weekly bible study a friend of mine passed out flyer's for David Turners next healing service. I thought O okay Lord I know you got a great sense of humor, I get the point, I can't wait to go. And I did. The first service I had been ordered by the doctor not to put any pressure on my foot AT ALL! As the service began I thought no matter what Lord I am going to represent YOU! It was you that spared my life and for your purpose and glory. David spoke to us, ministered first saying, "there are some of you going through programs that you will one day graduate from and teach" I knew that the Lord was speaking to me. I stood for the first time in six months and took a few steps. I don't really recall. I do know that the Lord heals and He has disciples today just like yesterday. I stood, tall and proud and grateful for the Lord our God we serve. For the next three months I would practice standing and taking a step. Then in November I was given the opportunity to go to David Turner's Healing Service again. It was this time that I walked several steps and have not been back in a wheelchair since. I had told my doctor's that I would not be doing any more surgery and that despite what my x ray's showed my leg would be healed and made whole. David Turner Ministries, how can I give back and let it be known that Jesus heals and to put your ministry out for the people of God to know that He is the same today yesterday and tomorrow!
Thank you, David Turner Ministries!

Pete and I ask you and your wife last Sunday at church to pray for our apt. fire, and the young man that was burned. Yesterday his mother called our manager to let us know that he is expected to have a FULL RECOVERY! We are so grateful for the healing power of Jesus. Thank-you for being the faithful servant of the LORD. We appreciate your faithfulness and use of the gifts you have received. Please let Pastor Dave know the good news.
With gratitude,
Pete and Linda Hrebec
David's passion and love for the Lord has been such a blessing in my life. I have witnessed the power of the Lord come upon him. People are healed by God through him, by the laying of his hands on them. I was healed of a lump/mass in my left breast. After having a yearly mammogram done, my doctor called me in his office for another examination and a second mammogram. He was concerned because the first mammogram results were showing signs of a mass/lump. I went to David and told him what the doctor said. We both agreed in faith that the next test results would be negative, therefore proof that I was healed. I went back a couple of months later to have the third set of X-Rays done. The results were unbelievable in the natural. I was healed! The nurse wanted to take one other X-Ray before she talked to the Doctor (to make sure...). The fourth X-Ray came back the same, clear of any lump/mass. Of course I knew that God had healed me!!! The Nurse would not say that she believed that I was healed, but she did admit that she took the first set of X-Rays and the second set. And now she could not believe what she was seeing. Praise God!!! I thank God for his faithfulness, and for David's heart to see people healed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
...I woke up with a numbing pain in my abdomen, which I initially thought was caused by a c-section surgery seven months earlier. The severity of the pain increased, accompanied by high fever and chills, prompting me to miss work and consult a physician on the 3rd day as it became unbearable. The doctor prescribed antibiotics for 7 days as results from the laboratory test suggested that Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) was the root.
Days passed and nothing changed, instead, pain progressed to the lower right quadrant of my abdomen. A follow-up check-up that day had the doctor order an immediate CT scan (Computerized Tomography) on my abdomen, as he suspected a possible gal stone, kidney stone, or appendicitis.
Upon leaving the doctor's office, my husband suggested that we visit David Turner before proceeding with the CT scan. David prayed healing over my abdomen and deliverance from any forms of illness, and at that very instant my fever was gone; I no longer felt the pain in my abdomen. I went through the CT Scan the next day and the results all came out negative to my doctor's amazement; he couldn't believe what he was seeing. I was so excited about what God has done with my situation because the healing He has made available to me through Jesus is available to each and every one of us. What medicine can't explain, God has revealed to those who believe.
...my husband and I met my son and daughter-in-law at David Turner Miracle Healing. My son has 2 lower discs in his back that are now bone-on-bone and he is in a lot of pain. Plus he has problems with his hips and he is only 22. My Daughter-in-law has arthritis in almost all of her joints and she gets very bad bladder infections that last for weeks. She had a bladder infection coming on the day of the healing and almost didn't make it to the healing because of the pain. She decided to go anyway and was healed that night. Unfortunately she still has the arthritis pain, but we have not given up hope. My son's hips are a lot better but his back is pretty much the same. Again, we have not given up hope. The miraculous story is that my husband did not go to David Turner for healing on his knee. He had tremendous pain and swelling in his right knee for years. We just sat in the audience and prayed for everyone. Slowly, one by one we could really feel the Spirit and healing in the room. At the end of the evening, my husband leaned over to me and said that the pain and the swelling in his knee was gone. It is now 12 days later and it is still gone. He had surgery on his knee 15 years ago and he thought he was going to have it again, and hopefully he won't because of God's healing. We pray for our son and daughter-in-law and many others that they too can be healed. We are going to try to go to a Miracle Healing again for our grown children and others in our family. Thank you, Mr. Turner, you are truly a blessing!

I thank God every day for having chosen me to know Him. For having touched my heart and filled me with His great love and peace. I am so grateful that He has put godly people in my life that have helped me to know Him better. One of them is David Turner. David has shown me that God is alive, that He is real and that we can have a personal relationship with Him. Through David I have seen God working in miraculous ways; healing the sick. I was sick. I had valley fever (a sometimes deadly fungus infection in the lungs). I was scared.
When the doctor found out two years ago, he told me that every year for the rest of my life I had to get checkups, two months ago it was time for my checkup and I asked David to pray for me. I had faith and believed that God was going to heal me. When David was praying I felt peace and like a fresh feeling in my lungs, I was sure it was done. The next day, I went to the hospital for my CT scans. They did it once, I went home, and I received a phone call from the hospital asking me to come back. They needed to redo it with something else… so I went back. God was telling me that they couldn't find anything. Then my doctor asked me to go to the lab for blood work… After reviewing them my doctor asked me for more blood work… Ok God, I know they can’t find anything! Thank you!!! I was so certain that I was completely healed.
When I went to see my doctor again, he just said: You don’t have to come back never again. You are healed.
And I said: THAT WAS GOD!!!!!
And he said: YES.
I played competitive sports from grade school through college. Fortunately, I never suffered a major injury besides an occasional broken bone or slight concussion. I never have required major surgery due to an injury. I remained active through my 20’s primarily playing basketball a few days a week. This suddenly came to an end approximately 8 years ago due to a back injury.
I was moving a piece of furniture when suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my lower back that caused my knees to buckle. The pain was so bad that one day later I couldn't lift up to get out of bed. Even with assistance, I could barely move as my stomach muscles tightened due to the high level of pain. I remained in bed for three straight days and literally crawled to the restroom for the most painful relief in my lifetime. Needless to say, my dad recommended I go to the emergency room but I declined because I was naive enough to think I was invincible. I was also fearful that a doctor might insist that I stop playing sports or recommend rehabilitation, or even worse, surgery.
For close to a year the pain would come and go especially if I tried to lift something even as light as 10 pounds. I remember trying to walk a flight of stairs while holding brief cases hoping the pain would just go away. The pain did eventually subside but so did my lower body strength and active lifestyle. I was no longer able to play basketball, tennis, lift weights or exercise. In addition, I lost all confidence to play any sports due to the inability to strengthen my back, and coincidently I became fearful of becoming seriously injured.
During my journey as a Christian, and especially in the past few years, I have believed in the healing power of Jesus Christ. Not only have I witnessed his healing power but I have always been quick to believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. It has always been easier for me to believe for the big things and not for smaller challenges in life.
With regards to my back, as the years went by the strain would come and go and I just got used to living with the condition. I didn't lack faith for my healing. I just got used to living with the situation and never gave it a thought until one recent day. My brother Matt came into my office and he could barely walk. Years ago he tore his ACL and never fully rehabilitated. David asked Matt if he wanted to be healed and he replied "yes." David laid hands on Matt and by the power of God he was instantaneously pain free and could walk without a limp. At that moment I thought to myself, I no longer have to live with my back problem. I asked David to pray for me. David laid hands on me and by the power of Jesus Christ I was healed!! From that day since I have been without pain. Praise the Lord – all for the glory of God.

David Turner is an incredible man of God, whom the Lord Jesus Christ has anointed with an incredible gift of healing! I have witnessed David pray for countless people who are completely healed from whatever ailment they had. I also can testify to experiencing being healed by Jesus through David’s laying on of hands.
I had an incredible migraine and neck and shoulder stiffness, and I asked David to pray for me, and with his first word, my tension lifted, the stiffness was gone, and my headache was gone. Praise the Lord! Another time, I found a small lump under my right armpit. I had David pray for over me with his wife Jennifer, and when he was finished the lump was a quarter of the size and within a few days it was gone.
Both of my daughters had severe eczema. I have taken them countless times to see different doctors. My youngest had very red and blistery cheeks and I was afraid it would leave scarring because she was always scratching them and causing them to bleed. Once again, I had David pray over her and her cheeks became clearer and clearer each day. Now, you can’t even tell how anything was ever wrong with them. Praise God!!!
God has truly anointed this man and gifted him in healing. I would encourage anyone who is physically or mentally sick to allow Jesus to heal your body.
