During our Ministers Seminar in the west last month, a lady testified of her miracle. She was dying with AIDS and going in and out of a coma. They had her grave, casket and funeral all ready for her. When Bro. Jacob went and prayed for her. She had had many people come and pray for her, all to no avail. Her husband is a pastor of a large "Born Again" church in Kampala, but she was sent to the village to die. When Bro. Jacob began to pray for her, God told him to stop and have her forgive those who had done evil to her. She broke down and wept as she said, "I can repent, but I can't forgive." Her husband had given her AIDS as he had been unfaithful, and she could not forgive him. As they prayed, she began to forgive her husband and God instantly healed her and brought her out of her death bed.
