I Believe in MIRACLES


Your Heart is approximately the same size as your closed fist.

Bundle Branch Block - with gaps where the heart stops for a short time.


A few years ago I suffered from a heart complaint known as (L) Bundle Branch Block. I had experienced two cardiac arrests while living in America and this was likely the end result.

The heart contains two bundle branches, a left, and a right. There is an electrical system which stimulates and fires between these two branches to keep the heart in a healthy rhythm. 


Coming back to live in Australia with this condition I was sent to be assessed by Dr. David Cross a cardiologist. He saw me on a regular basis for two years before deciding to investigate it further. My worst symptoms were the episodes of almost fainting. The room would spin with everything turning black for a few seconds.

The night before entering the hospital, I asked Pastor Gary if I could have prayer for healing and oil anointing.

He and the church elders plus my husband Ray were all present on that night. The Bible scriptures on healing were read aloud for understanding. This was one of those scriptures.  

James 5:14-15 “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”

Everyone lay hands on me, with each person taking the time to pray individually. Then I asked the Lord to forgive me for any committed sins either on purpose or unintentionally. 


Next Day: I caught a train to Brisbane. Climbing the steep hill from Auchenflower train station to the Main Hospital Entrance I had no problems with shortness of breath which was unusual. 

Admitted and before being taken to my room, I was fitted with a telemetry. This is a small type of portable E.C.G. monitor that transfers a heart pattern to a computer screen. These screens with a patient name and room number are situated on display throughout the ward for constant vigil. They raise the alarm, in case of a severe problem.
Looking at a screen as I was about to enter my room, I saw that my heart was NO LONGER in bundle branch block but back in NORMAL sinus rhythm.
The joy of the Lord burst forth as I laughed with recognition, yes the Lord had miraculously healed me.
I said nothing to David as I entered the theatre for him to perform an angiogram on me the next day.      
This test is performed under local anesthetic with a catheter (a long thin tube) inserted into the femoral artery (groin), it is pushed up inside until it reaches the heart. A special dye is injected into the coronary arteries and X-rays are taken. Just as I was going under the anesthetic I remember the doctor looking at his screen and joking, “hey Crystal, look at your heart.”

In recovery later and still woozy, David told me I was fine and would go home the next day.
Asking the evening nurse, what time David completed his daily rounds, I was told he was NOT a morning person, and always came after lunch.
So I was amazed when he came busting into my room at 7am the next day. He said to me, “I am astounded, no I am flabbergasted! Your heart is fine! It’s like that of a newborn baby.”
He looked in shock seemingly confused about what he was saying.
I was laughing so he must have thought I was mad.
I told him about the prayer for healing, and he just stared. He knew this was a miracle because he was the one to perform the previous blood tests, ECGs and stress test on me.
God doesn’t always heal, yet he does tell us, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

THE BEAUTY OF HEAVEN

From the many people who have known an Out of the Body Experience they have all stated,  "Heaven is more beautiful than we humans can imagine."







Those who have visited that Ethereal place and returned to tell of it, repeatedly confirm, they never wanted to return to their life on earth.







Heaven is the place everyone desires to end up, when their life on earth has ended.

And they will, if they have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savour.

NO..... not everyone will go there. And you don't get there by being a good person.

"FOR by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Ephesians 2:8.

You can't fool God, because he knows your heart. He knows if you are pretending or putting on a show. You have to be genuine.


How does the Word of God (Bible) describe this eternal happy place?  Revelation 21 by John


And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
11 Having the glory of God: and Heavens light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.


14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

One day our body will die.
Our Spirit and Soul will go to either Heaven or Hell.
Where will YOU go??

The BEST takes TIME to come

I have written eight books
Not many of my books have been recognized or read.
Does this mean I am a poor author?
Well, I am not rich in the world's eyes, yet that doesn't matter.
Has the fact that no one reads or comments on my books by writing reviews hurt me?
It has.
BUT, it shouldn't.

I may be dead before anyone actually benefits from what I have written, isn't that the fact about the Apostle Paul's writings?

The scriptures have taken a long time to be recognized for what they are.

However, I am NOT in league with any great Bible teacher or author, I am only a small human 💖🙋 who desires to encourage and inspire others through what I write.

Today I felt down. Then listening to a television preacher's uplifting words my heart soared.....
He said, it can take time. He said that we are to keep praising God in the mean while.

Then he told of, how a dog will only take a few weeks to have puppies, and when it has those puppies, it will give birth to many- a litter, even up to eighteen. Yet they are small.

Unlike the dog (who could boast about how well it has done), the elephant will take two years to give birth (seemingly forever). When it eventually delivers, it produces only ONE!
Yet that ONE is soooo BIG!🐘

What does this tell us.
Sometimes it takes time for big things to happen. God has everything under His great control. 🙆

We, have a USER WORD, into the presence of God.... and that Word is JESUS. 💓

We are not left high and dry getting past the Userword... NO! we are given a PASSWORD right into the presence of God. That Password is PRAISE.

All of this is a FREE gift. We pay nothing to get it. It is given with love.

As we praise God and worship Jesus, no matter our circumstances, we defeat the demons that would like to drag us down.

So keep on Praising no matter what you see or feel. No matter how difficult it may be, and God will LIFT you up.



   Do you know that song. "Give thanks with a grateful heart give thanks to the Holy One, give thanks because he's given Jesus Christ his son."
