Liberia: Woman Healed Of Ebola after a Touch from God—a Prayer Warrior's Testimony

Mark Ellis : Oct 27, 2014  God Reports

As she lay in bed, with her temperature soaring, her body sweating and shaking, she felt like her torso was on fire. "It was the worst sickness I ever had," she told The Times... Then something remarkable happened...

"Only God knows where we are heading to now," Dorothy Sawer, 48, told the Los Angeles Times. Sawer is an abandoned wife caring for six children in impoverished circumstances—but she has her faith.

That faith—in the midst of the devastating epidemic—is often ridiculed by her neighbors. "Sometimes I pray loud; sometimes I pray louder," she told The Times. "My neighbors get vexed. They get angry. People laugh at me and mock me. They say, 'Every day, it's God, God, God business.' These neighbors say that's all they hear."

airliftWhen Sawer was 10-years-old, she had her first personal encounter with God. She saw a flash of light and a white man with long hair appeared out of nowhere, his back turned. Then he disappeared as quickly as he had arrived.

"I believe that was the angel of God that I saw," she told The Times. From then on, she had "spiritual fits" and had to drop out of school.

She also received prophetic words for people close to her. As a result, Sawer might warn them not to take a certain road on a particular day. "People didn't listen. There would be consequences," she noted. (Sawer says her former husband was attacked by thieves after he ignored her warning.)

Some of her friends began to recognize her spiritual discernment. Four years ago, Sawer joined the prayer team at Conqueror's Tabernacle, led by Pastor Varney Garpou.

Ebola first arrived in Liberia in March, then died down after a few cases. But in July it re-emerged with a vengeance, killing staff members at New Kru Town's Redemption Hospital before devastating the local community.

In Liberia's capital, Monrovia, it has killed nearly 2,500 people as of Oct. 17. The cases in West Africa will reach 10,000 within weeks, according to The Times.

Some say it's a punishment, or something Satan brought. Sawer is certain it is a spiritual disease, not just a physical sickness, she told The Times. (Photo: John Moore/Getty Images/via L.A.Times)

Although she heard the government warnings not to touch people with Ebola, "I wasn't afraid because I believed God was with me..."

...Soon, Sawer herself felt unusual symptoms that began with intense burning in her stomach. She fasted and prayed for three days, but the symptoms kept getting worse. She decided to have her oldest son Tim, 25, care for the rest of her children and she went to an Ebola treatment unit.
