arlene Van Wyk grew up living with pain and intense discomfort. Having suffered
insomnia since early childhood, as well as migraines and depression from her
teenage years, she had spent decades trying to cope with life by using medications.
An accident that occurred when she was 19 years old left her with a fracture in her
neck, and another one a few years later caused injuries to her spine. Time wore on
and the situation only worsened for Marlene. Eventually, she was diagnosed with
fibromyalgia, a medical condition without cure, arising from the various issues
she had endured over time.
Amidst the despair and desolation, light and hope came to Marlene
when she heard of a place where her troubles would come to an end – a
place of love and God’s manifest presence. The Healing School provided
the lifeline that Marlene so desperately needed, and she grabbed the
opportunity for a change. She was 63 years old when she came to the Healing
School, but she came with an open mind. Her expectations were exceeded when
she encountered the power of the Holy Spirit. With one touch from God, fibromyalgia
was gone; and insomnia, migraines and all sorts of pain disappeared permanently.
It was an experience that transformed her situation and forever altered her life. A radiant Marlene returns to the Healing School
a year later, to bear witness to the goodness of God in her life, and the new chapter that’s opened up since she got healed.
Marlene reminisces about being in that condition, “It was a time of sadness because it seemed I had been taken captive,” she
says. “I came to the Healing School because I suffered from fibromyalgia, which was diagnosed as a result of so many years
of acute insomnia, migraines and pain. I had headaches and sleeplessness since before I was 11 years old, but the condition
worsened when I was 19 years old. I had an accident and hurt my neck, but they couldn’t operate because I was pregnant.
That was when the depression started. Years after, I was in another accident and my back was broken. I had one surgery on
my neck and two more on my back. They put in pins and screws, but I still had very bad pain in my neck, hands and legs.

“Where there was
hopelessness before,
I now happily look
forward to the next 64
years.”
“Over time, I just got used to living with it. Sometimes, when I complained about
my neck, the doctors told me that it was just stress and depression, and put me
on heavy stress medication and antidepressants. I was operated on several times,
but the condition kept on, with me taking more and more pills over time, usually in
handfuls – at least 4 pain pills every 3 hours; these pills did my body much harm.
I had severe kidney problems due to high level of toxins in my blood, and also
developed allergies – there were sores and my body itched all the time, making me
scratch till my skin blistered. One time, I was rushed to the hospital because I was
severely anemic. An ulcer caused by the pain meds had led to internal bleeding.
They even put me in institutions where I was treated with electric shocks to try to
treat the depression, but this didn’t help at all.
“I felt useless; there were so many things I couldn’t do because the pain was too
severe, like lift my hands or sleep properly. My back was sore and my bladder was
leaking. It was difficult to get on or off the bus; if I walked for more than 5 minutes,
the pain worsened. Using a back brace and neck collar for many years didn’t do
much to help. The sickness deprived me of life, and cost me time with my family,
especially my children. I spent so much time in and out of hospitals while they grew
up and changed. It eventually led to my divorce. Life was a struggle. I went through
a lot of things trying to solve this problem; despite spending so much money, it
wasn’t solved, there was no change.
“Then the guilt and self-condemnation started. Every day was blank – there was
no tomorrow, so there were no dreams and I didn’t make plans. I couldn’t decide
what to do, even if it was just a few hours ahead. Every day of my life was managed
because there was always pain. At some point, all the things happening made me
decide that life wasn’t worth living like this. In this period, I attempted suicide three
times, but God didn’t let me go.”
Indeed, God has proved His graciousness and lovingkindness in Marlene’s life,
and He’s given her a remarkable testimony and a new song to sing: “When I heard
about the Healing School, I just knew I had to be there. As I stepped through those
doors, I felt the love of God. When Pastor Chris entered the room, I couldn’t take
my eyes off him. When he touched me, it was like something burst out from inside
me. I felt joy explode and I was just laughing and jumping and running. I checked
myself after and I could pick up stuff and turn my neck. I’d been healed completely.
“I don’t use any pain medications or sleeping tablets anymore. I don’t need ulcer
or kidney or allergy tablets anymore. I can turn my neck, bend, walk five kilometers
and back. I can carry my own grocery bags and sit on the beach and play with my
grandchildren. My miracle is obvious for everyone to see and I’m shining now. Now,
I tell everyone about the Healing School and share the Word of God with them.
This miracle has changed my whole life and brought me a new future. Where there
was hopelessness before, I now happily look forward to the next 64 years. Glory
to God!”

I suffered from degenerative disc disease from the year 2010. There is no remedy
for this disease, but my doctor recommended an operation and different therapies to
suppress its effects and manage the pain. I went through a few therapy sessions, but
then stopped because I couldn’t afford it. This condition affected me so much: I was
always so sad and depressed, and I felt out of place because I couldn’t get involved
in simple activities like walking, running or jumping. I came to the Healing School
in 2016, and when the man of God ministered to me, I felt a warm sensation surge
through my body and I couldn’t contain myself. From that moment, I knew I was
healed and I celebrated my victory. Now, I can climb up the stairs, I can bend down,
I can stand for as long as I want, and even do push-ups. Glory to God!
2. Shower daily: Take a shower at least twice, it’s guaranteed to rid your
body of any dirt, sweat and/or germs accumulated during the day or night,
and will prevent acne and other skin diseases. Of course bathing daily
helps you feel, look, and smell your best throughout the day.
3. Wash your hands with soap and water: This is one of the most
important ways to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Wash
your hands after using the restroom or caring for someone who is sick, before
preparing food, and at regular intervals throughout the day.
4. Wear clean clothes: Dirty clothes breed bacteria and will make
you smelly and uncomfortable. Wash your clothes, or at least air them,
after each wear. Never put on sweaty or wet clothes.
7. Sleep well: Regular, consistent sleep every night will keep you
refreshed and fit for each day. Inadequate sleep may ruin your day
or negatively affect your productivity at work. At least 6 hours sleep is
recommended for adults. Give your body the rest it deserves.
9. Don’t Share Personal Hygiene Items: It is inadvisable to share towels, razors, combs, sponges and items
from your makeup purse, as this can increase the likelihood of contracting infections from affected persons.
10. Trim your nails: Regularly cut your nails; this helps you keep your hands clean, and will also prevent hangnails and
infected nail beds. Trim your nails at least once monthly. Also soak your fingers in warm soapy water weekly (at least
once) to release dirt and residue from beneath the nails. It is advisable to moisturize your cuticles and nails regularly.
Start with a new habit for improving your personal hygiene. Start today. Stay clean, stay healthy.
