Come And Receive
Your Healing

The Healing Rooms of Wilmington provide a loving, safe, confidential environment where you can come to receive prayer. If this will be your first time visiting the Healing Rooms, we would like to take this time to walk you through your prayer session. When you first come in, you will be warmly greeted, and asked to sign your name on our sign in sheet and then fill out an information form, listing what your prayer needs are. This form is for our information only and is strictly confidential.  

We have wonderful prayer team people at our Healing Rooms who are all devoted in seeing that you receive the answer to your prayer request. A family atmosphere of love and unity permeates our team of people. Assembling in small groups of two or three to pray, the Holy Spirit flows through them as a team. There is only one “super-star” in our midst: Jesus!!  Some are healed instantly by a miraculous touch from God. Others receive their healing progressively over a period of time. We are committed to pray for you, contending for your healing until you are completely well in spirit, soul and body!!

In August of 2000, twelve members of Newark Christian Fellowship traveled to Spokane, Washington to receive training in the Healing Rooms model. From October of that year, three of these twelve, Pastor Bruce Latshaw, Rev. Maria DeShields, and Mr. Larry Field envisioned, planned, and administered the Healing Rooms of Wilmington. Training of ministry team members from local churches began in 2001 and the Healing Rooms of Wilmington opened its doors on April 18, 2001.  In 2002, Pastor Chuck Williams began serving as executive director of the Healing Rooms Of Wilmington.

Above all, you can expect the gentle presence and touch of God’s love through Jesus Christ. Our healing teams are trained to minister healing in Jesus’ name. A member of the team will come to the reception area and escort you to a room where you will receive prayer for healing. One person on the team has been designated as the team leader who will lead the healing ministry time, though all on the team will pray for you as led by the Spirit of God. Our healing technicians may anoint you with oil, lay hands on you as they pray, or ask you to receive communion.  But, before they do, they will ask your permission to do so. If you do not give your permission, they will respect your desire and minister to you in other ways. Each healing session typically lasts fifteen to twenty minutes, though this may vary as decided by the team. Normally, the team will command your body to be made whole in Jesus’ name, even as Jesus and his disciples did when they ministered to the sick. Occasionally the Holy Spirit will give team members special ways to pray by utilizing the gifts of the Spirit.

If you have strong faith that God will heal you, that is wonderful. We encourage you to grow personally in biblical faith for healing by studying scriptures on healing. We also encourage you to ask God for healing through the prayer of faith. However, at the Healing Rooms of Wilmington, we expect our healing teams to exercise faith for healing on behalf of those who receive prayer.  While God can heal you in many ways, including through your own faith, we expect  God to use the faith-filled prayers of our ministry teams to bring healing to you even if you are weak in faith

The medical community ministers healing through medicine. We are fully supportive of their work and believe God uses them greatly.  Divine healing is not in competition with medical or natural means of healing. You should remain under your doctor’s supervision and treatment plan for as long as you judge is right for you. When your health is recovered through healing prayer, we recommend you have your healing confirmed by your doctor not only as a witness, but also for your personal peace of mind as well.

No. Anyone who is sick for any reason should come to the Healing Rooms of Wilmington. We will pray for Christians and non-Christians alike, young or old, and of any ethnic background.  When God touches you, we ask you to let us know what He has done in order for us to keep accurate records of His works in the Healing Rooms of Wilmington. Your testimony will encourage others in their faith to be healed.  We also encourage you to call us at 302-268-0026 with any prayer request for those who are sick. Our intercessors will pray over these requests for one month.

Steve received ministry for bronchitis and heat exhaustion.  His cough went away before he arrived home that evening.  He reported, “I cut the grass the next day (over one hour) and had no problems – Amen!”    He later came back for prayer for his singing voice and for healing of alcohol addiction.  Steve testifies to a total loss of the desire to be intoxicated and to an instantaneous change in his singing voice -“I sing in tune now." S. H.

Andre came to HROW for prayer because he desired to quit smoking cigarettes. After his second visit, he has gone from smoking two packs of cigarettes a day to none per day!

Total healing over a five month time period.  We visited the Healing Rooms 3 times and stood on God’s Word for healing.  Eric quoted scripture daily morning & night.  Grades are greatly improved. I can sit still longer, my concentration has improved, and I like school better.  Also, I made student counsel and my memory improved.  Mom wrote:  He said he woke up one day and felt like a different guy!  Praise God! Eric S.

After prayer, Ana was healed of allergies. Glory to God!  

I had a cough and sometimes tightness in my chest and throat like I could not get enough air in my lungs. I went to the emergency room once and got breathing treatments which helped and I had an inhaler. The doctor thought the cough was triggered by allergies. I was taking allergy medication and had just started taking an asthma medication. Sometimes I would wake up at night feeling panicky...like I wasn't getting enough air. I was also having dreams in which I (or my family) was under attack and I tried to fight but felt paralyzed.
I came to the healing rooms of Wilmington. I can't remember or understand all that was prayed...what I remember is that the prayer ministers spoke in God's power and authority. I was physically moved back with God's power and presence and started shaking so much that I could hardly stand.
I know that God is not far away. He is alive and present! Like His word says, He came to set the captives free...to free us from all that binds us and keeps us from being healed and whole and He did that for me.
The prayer ministers gave me some scriptures (Isaiah 53, Psalm 103, etc.) which I continued to pray. Within two weeks I was symptom free. God's word is powerful and He is so faithful!
Today I take no medications...not even for allergies...even though this is usually the time of year they act up...not as much as a little cough!
I give praise and thanks to God and thank you to the faithful prayer warriors in the Healing Rooms of Wilmington. Shannon

Arthritic spine and pain.  Backache is gone! Praise God! N. D.

In the process of praying, a real peace and release from pain began to manifest in my body, a popping in the vertebrae of my neck was happening, yet with no pain. The presence of the Lord shook my head real fast, yet my joy was manifested in laughter. All stiffness and pain left. Hallelujah!! M. T.

I was having a hard time breathing and in constant fear of not being able to breathe. I was delivered from asthma and I am now at peace and there is no fear. Earlyn

One day at work, I noticed a mental and physical confusion affecting me to the point that I couldn’t use a measuring tape correctly. I went to the hospital and a MRI was taken of my head.  The next day, I was told that the MRI had revealed a tumor the size of a golf ball in my brain.  I was diagnosed as having multiform Gleoblastoma, which is a terminal disease.  I was informed that at the end of the first year, 50% die and at the end of the second year, 50% of the remainder die.  Six months later, the rest will die.  At best, two in one hundred will survive with a devastating decrease in the quality of life.
I had surgery at the University of Penn to remove the tumor, followed up with six weeks of simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation, none of which produced any healing. In December, I started to read books and listen to tapes on faith and my trust in God’s healing power increased. In late March, I endured another surgery where balloons were implanted into my head. The balloons were to be filled with radiation at a later date. Right after the surgery, I visited The Healing Rooms of Wilmington, DE and received prayer for the healing of my body.
Not long after the balloon implantation surgery, another MRI was taken.  My surgeon called to inform me that the MRI results showed no sign of cancer anywhere.  I was completely cancer free.  He wanted to schedule a date for the removal of the balloons.  A wave of relief and gratitude overwhelmed me and I started to worship my wonderful, miracle working Father God.  Since then, every six weeks I have had a MRI and I am still cancer free. 
Praise the Lord! Dennis O.

Anne received ministry for a brain lesion and emotional needs related to the diagnosis. She praises God that not only have all of the symptoms been resolved, but repeated MRI studies have shown that the lesion is diminishing in size.

My son was diagnosed with microcephaly (small brain), then ADHD, later with dyslexia and lately with poor tooth enamel. He was prayed over for each condition and was healed. 1) his brain grew to normal size, 2) he was healed of ADHD without medication, 3) he improved two reading grade levels within two weeks and is now an A+ student completing the 6th grade, 4) he has normal teeth. Thank you for your faithfulness in the Kingdom!

Jerry C. was given a prayer/healing cloth from the Healing Rooms. Jerry had cancer of the throat and lungs. He was on a feeding tube at home. He was not expected to live too much longer. The prayer/healing cloth was placed on his throat. The throat cancer disappeared which was confirmed by his doctor. The lung cancer started to recede. He is now able to go on trips (vacations) with his wife to states quite a distance from home and has just bought a new SUV for himself to enjoy.

Melissa has come for prayer for headaches, Crohn’s Disease, and emotional needs.  She testifies, “The Lord is really sweeping through my mind, body, and spirit.”  She was healed from Crohn’s Disease and the headaches.  She shares that she has grown in her Christian walk and in her faith in Jesus...  “I feel like a new creature in Christ.  He is really doing a work in me.” 

Anna asked for prayer for mental, spiritual, and emotional conditions.  She has been plagued with depression most of her life.  She shared that much healing has come and that she now feels peace and delivered from mental torment.  Anna writes, “The peace that I had after prayer was truly beyond understanding.“

I had been seeing my allergist for angio edema. But as a result of prayer, there is no trace of the angio edema in my blood stream. The depression I was dealing with has lifted and my doctors are taking me off the medications. The emotional abuse from my younger years, which included flash backs, have gone away. I feel a peace and a joy that I have never felt before. I also have not had to use any inhalers for asthma in over three month.M. D.

I felt like the whole world was falling in on me like there was no way out. I just came from my counseling appointment down the road. I turned my car into the parking lot and I didn’t even think of turning. I know God turned my car into the parking lot and I came to the office door to talk to someone. I didn’t know about the Healing Rooms of Wilmington but thank God they were open. I was crying when I came in. When I left, I was smiling, no more crying. I felt so calm and peaceful after the healing prayers. No weight on me anymore. Thank you so very much. Lori

After prayer, stable blood sugar levels.  Ability to key at 9000+ keystrokes per hour without pain or stiffness.  There is relief of pain and stiffness. Depression is gone. ADHD – no medication needed for focusing.  D. D.

While Ashley was being prayed for at the HROW, Maria had a word for her that she needed to forgive herself.  She began to weep, not realizing why.  After that prayer session,  Ashley reports that she felt released from low self-esteem – an inferiority complex.  She testifies, “All my life I have never felt good enough, always on the outside looking in, as though I never fit in or really belonged.  It has been nine months since my prayer and those awful feelings have not once come back.”  She feels comfortable, at ease, calm, and self-assured in situations dealing with people from all walks of life.  Her relationships have improved since she is no longer worried that she may say or do something wrong.  She states, “I am enjoying peace as never before….I feel as though I have come into His rest!”

I could see faces after prayer.  I could see your eyes.  I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues.  Ring finger used to lock up and now it doesn’t.  I feel like that heaviness is gone.  I fell like I can breathe now. Helen W.

Prayer was asked on behalf for my arms to grow and be the same length.  I could feel a crawling type sensation.  Also, my legs were prayed for so both would be the same lengths. I felt the same crawling type feeling on my skin.  Both arms and legs are now equal in length.  I walked in with pain but I walked out feeling the best I have in ten years! Sandi

Yesterday, after she had been to HR, she cleaned her house from top to bottom, including laundering curtains, scrubbing floors by hand and vacuuming extensively. She had so much energy and went to bed exhausted from working, not from fighting pain in her shoulders, arms and legs as usual. She expected to wake up and not be able to get out of bed this morning. Sue is rejoicing in Jesus because she jumped up from her great night's sleep full of energy and has had no pain all day!!!! Sue

Biopsy Negative!!  No mass found on the MRI! New thyroid medication – no reaction.
The Healing Rooms was a significant part in my life. For support, prayer, teaching me to speak the Word of God for Healing. God has shown me His faithfulness and his presence revealed to me. Praises to God! The Healing Rooms Staff is truly doing God’s work and played a very important role in ministering to me at a very vulnerable time in my life. Deanna

My brain MRI was negative for MS and my adrenal function tests were normal after my last visit several weeks ago. I praise the Lord and you for your wonderful ministry!  Linda S.

I was dependent on a cane to keep me from falling and to help me walk.  I was met at the Healing Rooms by Pastor Chuck Williams and Kathleen Taconelli.  He asked me what I was there for.  I said I was believing God for a miracle from MS.  When they began praying for me, I could feel a lot of tingling in the right side of my head.  I got real excited because I knew I had lesions on the brain from the MS and my faith soared as I realized there was activity going on in my head.
When he prayed for the pelvic area, I was shocked to actually feel the inside of my body move around inside of me. As he prayed for my arms they lengthened and when he prayed for my legs they lengthened and went back to a normal place. (One arm and one leg were shorter than the other and after prayer they were equal in length) Then he had me stand and asked me how I felt. I said fine. He told me to put a sealing on my healing by telling people about it. Then I went to the worship service and danced around the room. I started using the stairs, running up and down them. I stopped using the cane and have new freedom and liberty in movement and continue to rejoice over my Miracle from God. Praise the Lord! E. A.

Cyst in right knee and it bothered me when I would walk and sleep. A Healing Rooms worker prayed for me and I was healed. I felt heat from her hand and I felt it just shrivel up and then it was gone. I tried to feel it but I couldn't find it. It's gone, Praise the Lord!! - Sharon

For the past 8 Years, I have had problems with my sinuses, a deviated septum, and a post nasal drip that had me coughing continually and waking up at night with a blocked nose that made it difficult to breathe.
It has been five days since I was at the HROW. My symptoms have decreased dramatically. It has been a while; in fact I can’t remember when I was able to breathe out of both nostrils at the same time. My sleeping has improved and my coughing has diminished. Praise the lord. Bob
