We would love to hear your testimonies! In sharing them, we glorify the name of Jesus unto the ends of the earth!
Rev 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony”
At age six my grandson, Joshua and I attended a prophetic healing conference conducted by Jeanne McDowall (Smith) and sponsored by The Healing Order of St Luke at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church at 7pm.
The church was packed and it was a beautiful lengthy service. We came in expectation as Joshua was diagnosed as Autistic when he stopped walking and talking at the age of one and a half. We have been on a healing journey with Christ for four and a half years.
We stood easily for 45mins in our pew as Jeanne progressed from the back of the church to the front giving blessings and anointing after which period of much patience on Joshua’s part he sat down. I joined him so he would feel comfortable.
Amazingly he knew when she was about to reach our seats on the middle aisle and he immediately stood up and out into the aisle. I was “out in the spirit”, which Jeanne explained to him so he would not be afraid.
When I came to, Joshua and I joined the circle in the front of the alter. He suddenly released my hand and stepped out into the middle of a semi circle and clapped his hands and did a dance. I knew he had been touched and blessed.
Patterns of repetitive speech were notably reduced and healed. He learned the words, patience and wait.
Later, when speaking in front of the “Healing Order of St Luke” about the miracle healing of Joshua, several people came up and asked me why I had not told them the rest of the story. I asked them gently what was the rest of the story?
We were on one side of the center aisle with a line of people three feet across from us who witnessed Jeanne’s blessing on Joshua while I was out in the spirit.
He looked directly at her and then lifted his face and eyes higher, way above her head and stated “JESUS IS SO TALL”.
It took people’s breath away!
Since that day Joshua’s whose ninety-six and a half year old papa was a Canon in the Episcopal Church reminds us the white church is his favorite church and now I know why. He had seen the “FACE OF JESUS” here.
Later in the summer in June, Joshua was again blessed by Jeanne and taught to pray directly to Jesus. “Heal me Jesus”, which we pray frequently.
While playing cops and robbers on a Saturday, as Joshua shot me coming down the stairs, I clutched my chest and called out to call the Doctor (his dad who was upstairs), call an ambulance and Josh exclaimed “no, no, mama”, with his arm raised to heal and bless me.
He was interviewed for admission to a few private schools. These children are labelled and it is almost impossible to be accepted. Josh had done so well at “Tree House”, a remarkable private school based upon the teaching principles of Doctor Rimmer in San Diago, Cal, an authority on education for children with handicaps, he (Josh) was no longer qualified to attend there which rarely ever happens. He literally was and is an inspiration to other autistic families.
Remarkably “issues” disappeared and he was accepted at St Andrews Methodist 1st Day School (normal school), where teachers have visited his class and always guess the wrong student as being the quote the “autistic child”. He is indeed a miracle and blessing.

I am the man with the 2 children you prayed for on Wednesday night. You broke off condemnation from me and prophesied that I was a rock, that God would use me. I needed to hear those words desperately because what God didn’t reveal to you was that my wife died 1 month ago after we had stood on His word against her cancer for several months. I was condemning myself and didn’t think I could ever be used because I failed my wife.
May God use you mightily and Bless you.
October 2023
11 years ago, I was injured at work. The pain that resulted from that injury changed my life. Every single aspect of it. I was diagnosed with CRPS which is rated higher in pain than childbirth. Every second of every day I was in debilitating pain. I had to learn how to walk again. I was medicated and drugged, and the side effects were horrible.
Slowly after years, more and more of my passion, desire and my heart died or broke off. It was buried with pain. Although I never felt like I had given up. All I was doing was doing my best. But that’s the thing I was trying to do it. I wanted Jesus to help me and heal me, but I didn’t feel worthy enough. My identity again was destroyed.
God is always perfect with His timing. It’s one of the things I love about Him. He waits and waits until all His workings have timed up perfectly, then He does His thing! It was around the second miscarriage when Jeanne and I started to reconnect again. She’s been the one person to break down the walls that I have put up around my heart. She pushes me to do better and be better, in Jesus.
Jeanne said that she’s doing a meeting, like what she did years ago, that it’s time to go again. It took a few weeks to really understand what that meant. It wasn’t just a meeting, that this was her stepping back into ministry again. And I said yes to her and more importantly to Jesus. Yes, to committing to Him, and to going after Him. My spirit had again felt alive after so much time feeling dormant.
One of the pamphlets for that meeting said “What do you want Jesus to do for you?” I spent hours thinking about that. Not knowing what to say. Do I want my healing? Do I want something else? Sitting in the carpark waiting to pick up my children from school, I was listening to worship music, and I had a revelation, tears streaming down my face, not forced, just complete surrender. “I JUST WANT JESUS. I just want to meet with Jesus, to have an encounter with Him.” That’s it. In that moment, there was nothing else that mattered more, I understood, it’s all about Jesus. It doesn’t matter if I get healed or not, what mattered is being close to Jesus, to love on Him and to receive His love. To FEEL loved by Him.
The meeting was here. After the singing, Jeanne started praying, and I felt the Holy Spirit come down in the room. I said to myself, this is it. I’m riding this wave, it’s all or nothing. Without thinking I was on my knees surrendering my life to God. The anointing was so strong that I ended up having my face on the ground. Complete surrender. He’s presence tasted so sweet, and so rich. While I was on the ground, all I could think was “Jesus”. I was drinking in all I could of His presence. Deep long breaths. Enjoying His presence that I hadn’t felt in many many years. I could have stayed there forever. His presence was so thick, so heavy, so peaceful, so loving.
Jeanne brought a cross with her, and she got us all to write down what we want Jesus to do for us, then bring it to the cross. I decided to get up and do it too. I wrote on the page, “to be healed” which I was not expecting to do.
God’s encounter with me stayed for a long time, I felt satisfied. Once you taste the strong presence of Jesus, nothing else satisfies.
That night when I got home, I finally sat down and went to take my pain meds, but I realised I didn’t need them, that I wasn’t in any pain. The next morning, I didn’t have any pain either. I went to church, and I stood up for all of worship which I couldn’t do before.
On Tuesday I still had no pain. I said to myself, I’m going to do something that I have not been able to do in 11 years. I’m going for a walk. And I did. An hour and a half walk. No pain. My daughter was running beside me, and I just felt joy. A deep sense of Joy. 11 years of pain and heartache, and loss, was gone. I felt released, I felt free. I feel free.
I honestly can’t put into words the love and joy I have now. Jesus has gone so deep in my heart. He has awakened what I thought was gone forever. The love I have for Jesus now, it’s so deep. He’s so faithful. I love Him with every fibre of myself. I had given Him everything that night, and now He’s returned it healed.
Soumvilaysack was hit by a vehicle while riding his bicycle and severely injured his left shoulder. He couldn’t lift his arm above is head. He attended a service with Australian evangelist Jeanne McDowall (Smith). There, he unexpectedly found himself lying face-down on the floor, dazed and wondering what had happened. When he got back on his feet, Soumvilaysack was healed and able to move his once-gimpy arm like a pitcher throwing a fastball.
A “miraculous healing” said Soumvilaysack, who was raised in a Buddhist household and converted to Christianity about eight years ago. Others who saw the “miracle” also praised God for healing the personable man.
The teaching for the Holy Spirit seminar was excellent, and scripturally based. It was very encouraging and empowering. In the workshop on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, it was amazing as people stepped out and the Holy Spirit used them powerfully to bring healing, enlightenment and the love of God. It was so wonderful to see the young people responding so willingly. For myself, I felt so blessed in the unity of our team as we all contributed, supported Jeanne and each other.
The music ministry was anointed, and the healings and deliverance prayer touched my heart at the awesomeness of our God.
We were encouraged to listen closely to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and to ask questions, eg. “What do you want me to pray?” and wait for the answer.
It deepened peoples understanding of the Holy Spirit. It released people into seeing themselves as God sees them. It empowered people to believe in God and in themselves. People’s sense of identity in God changed.
This seminar was different to most because of the ‘head-cramming’ information sessions, but rather and understanding of how the Holy Spirit imparts into us coinciding with the practical demonstration of that.
Jeanne’s ‘real life’ experiences made it all very relevant. Bearing her heart with us. Being released into the prophetic. Releasing and equipping. An understanding of how to use those giftings. Many testimonies and practical outcomes. Exciting to see the releasing of the Body of Christ. To experience Isaiah 61, Matt 28, Mk 16, also where the apostles were released earlier in the Gospel. Knowing that this was the heart of Jesus that we are released into His great commission.
For ALL people. We are all ministers. His desire.
I just want to testify that you prayed for my voice on Friday night and today this is Thursday, August 4th, 2005 it is totally restored. My throat had been swollen and infected for over 10 days to the point my vocal cords were inflamed and I could hardly speak. The Lord healed me when you layed hands on my throat and prayed for the healing.
May The Lord bless His beloved children who dare to pay the price for stepping out in faith and obedience! There is no sitting in the “easy chair” for Jeanne. Seeing The Holy Spirit work through her gave us a glimpse of what The Lord can do with a person willing to go through the refining fires and THEN be willing to be called into action.
Jeanne had a glow that could only come from an overflow of The Lord’s love and compassion for humanity. She served in love, gentleness, truth, and the MIGHTY power and authority of The Lord Jesus Christ. There were countless experiences to observe this in action and plenty of opportunities to receive prayer, ministry, and teaching.
The beautiful time of worship ushered in a presence of the Lord that grew in intensity from one meeting to the next. The hungry were fed, deep wounds were healed, souls were saved and baptized, and a stirring up in The Spirit began to grow for people to WAKE UP and GET GOING.
From the time of the crusade, I have found the Lord challenging me into a greater level of holiness and discipline to live a life in tune with the Holy Spirit. I have become aware of weaknesses in me that He wants to refine and renew so that I can be prepared and strengthened for His Kingdom purposes and able to withstand the enemy.
Jeanne taught by example that we need to be a true representation of the character of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Only then can we truly be a new testament church in action, functioning out of love, truth, and grace. Through Jeanne we observed and experienced a taste of the things that bring life. A life free, abundant, and victorious.
I am so grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ that He has provided EVERYTHING we need for our journey to receive our eternal inheritance. I am also grateful for Jeanne’s sensitive approach. She has shown us how to tune in our Holy Spirit connections to The Lord and to have the courage to actually USE the precious gifts that flow.
Jeanne is one of The Lord’s anointed. Gifted to preach the gospel, heal the sick, set the captives free and to equip others for the task of building the Kingdom of God.
Jeanne McDowall (Smith) was…..
FABULOUS!! It was an incredible experience for both of us….my husband, as you can imagine, was a bit skeptical when I told him the plan, but the minute she started talking to him he became totally engaged….on the way back to your house, Jeanne said, “It took a while for me to get to him, but I finally did!!” Of course, that wasn’t a surprise! We visited with her about seeing her when she returns in November.
I can’t thank you enough for putting the 3 of us together….it is a time neither my husband nor I will ever forget, and we’ll be eternally grateful for our dear, dear friend!!
THANK YOU for the wonderful gift you gave to St. Luke’s in bringing (not only yourself and the other gorgeous Texas Ladies) but Pastor Jeanne McDowall (Smith) to us. What a Blessing the time spent with her is proving to be. I’m so grateful for the time she spent with B & with me. My cup runneth over with gratitude.
Dear C has returned from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and there will be no more surgeries at this time. Her adopted parents, K & my darling R, are so grateful for the time Jeanne spent with C (and with them). C was at the 8:45 service this morning with her precious parents for the first time since May 26th when this all began with C’s rush to the Emergency Room. The way Our Great Physician has been revealing Himself throughout this time has been remarkable!
This past Wednesday we had a new Intercessor pray with us who also had been deeply touched by Jeanne’s visit. D has been going through extensive surgeries for her cancer and the recipient of many, many prayers and supplications. Pray that she will be able to continue to pray with us as she brings testimonies to us of how our prayers have worked in her life.
These are but a few of the lives touched during Jeanne’s time with us. I’m sure there will be many more “Jeanne Blessings” that will be shared with me over time.
“Thank You” for allowing me to join you all last Tuesday. It was an awesome event and truly life-changing.
I’ve been struggling the past year with the notion that God’s will is perfect all the time and rejoicing even amid trying circumstances. I have, since I was a young child, accepted Christ’s sacrifice on my behalf, but what I haven’t really experienced over the past year is a Christ-centered joy and outward evidence of a Spirit-dwelt life. I simply relied on childhood training and half-hearted Bible study to “get me through” and put up this facade that everything was “okay.” In other words, I knew all the lingo and could quote the verses, but felt spiritually dead. And, for the past 3 or 4 months, I have felt very convicted about this.
After Jeanne prayed with me Tuesday, I can’t even express what happened, but I feel forgiven, and relieved of the burden of doing it all on my own. I have experienced a renewed passion to LIVE the Word, not just to read and recite it. I feel the springs of abundant life beginning to bubble up past all the sadness and bitterness of the past year. It is a truly awesome experience and I’m thankful you were a part of it. I realize the last paragraph is a little dramatic, but what has happened to me IS dramatic!
Blessings to you and the incredibly anointed ministry God has placed you in. I cannot thank you enough for your obedience and yielding to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If not for you hearing the voice of God and yielding to Him you would not have come back to San Antonio, you and Ron would not have prayed over me, and I would not have been delivered by the assume power of the Holy Spirit! It is amazing how God works, I never could have imagined how all of the pieces would have fit together. I look forward to the day I can bless you as much as you have blessed me.
Philippians 4:6 (NKJ) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God.
Good morning, once again thank you for your dedication and commitment to the Lord from all those, like me, who have been edified by your ministry. May He bless and keep and glorify you and your work.
My back felt much better this AM and I woke up singing “there is something about that name”.
I was informed there was a Holy Spirit Seminar on at a local school, October 20th, a Saturday. The lady leading the seminar was Jeanne McDowall (Smith).
I felt that there were areas in my life that still hurt so much: (rejection as a child, broken marriage, no support from family members) my father died when I was 1 year old. My mother was distant and could not relate to me all my young life because she was suffering too at the loss of my dad, but later, years before she died, we had a lovely time together. I have been told I am a strong person but inside I am not.
I have survived because of My God’s love for me. I had prayer 4 years ago, which was not completed (it was hurried): it left me confused and frightened. But on Saturday 20th October 2007, when I was at the seminar, God knew that and unbeknown to me He completed it and set me free. As Jeanne spoke words only God knows, I felt Him there comforting and freeing me.
I am married for the second time: it will be 24 years on the 1st December. I will be 64 on 28th October, have 4 children (sons), 4 grandchildren (3 boys & 1 girl). God is good.
I want to share with you one of my testimonies of how Jeanne has impacted my life through the Holy Spirit.
I personally had never been filled with the Holy Spirit until I attended a teaching on the Holy Spirit by Jeanne held in the PLC. The feeling was so incredible and so peaceful, God just embraced me with his blanket of love that just filled me up. Ever since, I have wanted to be touched and know more about the Holy Spirit. Jeanne was scheduled to be the upcoming SJD Family Retreat speaker in March of 2006. Tim & I were excited about attending our first SJD Family Retreat. Saturday morning during the Retreat, Jeanne led us in a time of prayer. Thank you, Lord as I was slain in the Spirit for the second time. I was resting in the Spirit and not wanting to come out. Meanwhile, Jeanne had begun her teaching and shortly into her teaching the Lord gave her words of knowledge that suddenly stopped her in her tracks, and she said she needed to pray for someone having trouble getting pregnant.
This being my 2nd encounter with the Holy Spirit I was still not wanting to come to, and my wonderful husband was just sitting there quietly not wanting any special attention focused on us. My cries were getting louder and thanks to my friend who knew about our recent miscarriage and difficulty trying to conceive a healthy pregnancy was sitting on the other side of me. As Jeanne asked the question again my friend pointed to my husband & me and said “right here…” (Thank you my friend!!) Jeanne being the obedient servant, said come up for prayer. I came to and my husband & I along with 2 other couples got up to the front of the room and Jeanne asked others to come up and lay hands on us. Just about everyone got out of their seat to come pray for us. That was such an awesome sight. We were so touched and deeply moved by everyone’s prayers. While we were being prayed for, Jeanne indicated to us that we would conceive and the number 6 was given to her for us.
Three months later on a Sunday morning in June, I took a pregnancy test which confirmed I was pregnant. That morning at church we were studying Genesis, so I open my Bible and the first words my eyes glanced to were the words “you are pregnant”. I was now thinking, that’s God confirming it for me. So, I’m just elated and we make plans to spread the good news to our family at a get together in a couple of weeks. We were about 2 to 2 1/2 months along. We have our family get together and announce our exciting news; then I start having really terrible headaches, cramps and everything else that goes with a miscarriage. I was taken back, so confused about my faith and very heartbroken. I went to my doctor’s office the next day and she confirmed I was having a miscarriage and diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I was finally put on the right medication to allow my body to carry a healthy pregnancy. September rolls around and I’m having all the notions of, I’m pregnant again which a home pregnancy test confirms. A couple of weeks go by and we are sitting on pins and needles headed to my doctor’s office and she confirms we are about 2 months along with a healthy pregnancy. This is 6 months later from our amazing prayer time.
My husband & I were blessed with some one-on-one prayer time with Jeanne around March of ’07 and Jeanne gave us some amazing words about the pregnancy. We choose not to find out the gender of the baby until God would bless us with our wonderful gift. During the prayer time with Jeanne, she kept referring to the baby as a “he” and how “he” was on fire with the Holy Spirit. Jeanne also said the baby would be 2 weeks early and it would be an easy delivery. The baby’s due date is May 18th 2007. Fast forward, to May 4th; 2007, our beautiful boy, Noah “Carson” Crockett was born. Thank you God, and Jeanne and all my brothers and sisters in Christ – Thank you for your prayers. God’s timing was perfect, because we weren’t covered by health insurance until just about the time we became pregnant but we were covered for the entire pregnancy. The timing was better than we could have imagined.
I need to tell you a little more how God has been working in my life. About 5 months after my son was born I realize I’m pregnant again. Without the proper medication I was unable to carry and had another miscarriage. Let me assure you we were not trying to conceive.
During her last visit in April, I was privileged to host Jeanne for a prayer session for other women. Jeanne released the Gift of Healing and through the Holy Spirit she said touch the area on your body where you need to be healed. So I placed my hand on my womb and I just cried to Jesus to just heal me. I had a secret that I was to scared to admit even to myself, that I might be pregnant again and without being on the medication I knew a miscarriage was eminent. Days go by and I finally get the courage to take a pregnancy test and before I know the results, I bring my husband up to date. So together we see the results of the test “Pregnant”. O.K. Lord where do we go from here? I had to keep telling myself not to fear or worry; give it up to the Lord. That following Monday, I and a small group of ladies were blessed with another prayer session with Jeanne.
Jeanne prophesied, that I would have another miracle baby and that I was now healed. So a couple of weeks go by before my husband & I go to my doctor’s office (waiting on pins and needles). My doctor confirms a healthy 10 week pregnancy. We were and are just blown away by the wonderful news. So, by mid Nov early Dec, my son will be a big brother. (How awesome is our God!!) Please keep me (us) in your prayers for that adventure of 2 under 2. THANK YOU LORD!!
The Holy Spirit has worked through Jeanne to impact my life and now I want hear from you. Please share with us no matter how big or small Jeanne has made a difference in your life.
Thank you Lord for sending us your prophetic daughter, Jeanne!
At Jeanne’s Holy Spirit seminars, I found the teaching to be Biblical but simple and easy to follow and understand. Jeanne was able to impart knowledge and wisdom in her teaching and able to help in understanding and in the practical use and development of the gifts. It was one of the best seminars of its type I have attended and I was truly blessed by God in amazing ways as a result. I would recommend them to anyone to look at the giftings the Holy Spirit can impart to us.
I first met Ms. Jeanne McDowall (Smith) at the Chapel of St. John the Divine Episcopal Church, the evening of Saturday, February 19, 2005. My wife and I arrived at the first break point. Her topic was “Living in the Kingdom.”
At the end of the evening Jeanne had words of knowledge and prophecy for me as she did everyone there. This was her first visit to St. John’s Church. Here is what she spoke through the Holy Spirit to me:
The first thing she said to me was “You have been healed of every sin.”She said this three times during the course of her prophecy. “ You are a rock as broad as you are high for the Lord. Oh what they have done to you. They have shot bazookas at you, they have shot torpedos at you. They have thrown the kitchen sink at you. They have tried to chisel you to pieces. “ They have dynamited you. (All this is literally true) “You are a Rock and have not been moved.” (I do not feel like a rock.)
“You have a ministry for the Lord. Your enemies will be put under your feet. The Lord has blasted away the mountains for you and cleared a path for you.” (Which he has and is doing.)
“Everything has been taken care of . Your battles in your finances have been won for you by the Lord. “
“She ended with “It is time to be on fire for Jesus again. Do not look down at your feet any more.”
Then she called on the Holy Spirit to come with fire. I literally felt a fire ball go through the middle of me. I was slain in the Spirit and knocked 5 to 7 feet back.
June 23, 2005, (Thursday night) in the Sid Smith Prayer Room A gathering of Men of the Church with Jeanne. I had a shadow on my heart and had to have them go into my heart and look with a camera right away. That night Jeanne prayed healing for my heart. The results of the test later on 6/27/05 @ St.Luke’ Episcopal hospital showed that my heart was in a very healthy condition. Also, that night Jeannie said that the Lord has given me the gift of healing in my hands. I have honestly been using this gift ever since. There are probably 6- 12 healings or more that have occurred since then when I used my hands for healing and it happened through our Lord Jesus. Often we pray in teams so I am a part of a team of people who pray for an individual. Slain in the spirit again that night.
June 25, 2005, Saturday…..Jeanne directed me through the Holy Spirit to start praying before the Lord on my face on the floor. This was a major directive to me from the Lord. I had lost a business in 1983 and went through personal bankruptcy which lasted 7 years. I had spent hours and hours and days and days seeking the Lord on my face as we worked through this trial which took about 10 years to work through. Only about three people in the world knew I had done this. I had learned at Northwest Bible Church in Dallas that that is how the prophets of the Lord prayed to Him. (This was in the chapel I think.)
Jeanne also said to me that through this process “The Lord will take away the Little Foxes that steal my Grace.” I am still on my face before the Lord nearly every day of my life. She also told me in the spirit that I was a wonderful man. Lastly she said that I would be walking in new dimensions with the Lord. Slain in the spirit again.
Several healings occurred on Sunday 6/26/05 at the 11 O’clock contemporary service where I used my new gift of healing hands.
On November 11-November 13, 2005 Jeanne was here again. Her topics were You’ve got to fight for the Jesus in You. God’s word is a Doing word. Great talks that hit home with me. No new prophecy for me. During this period she had the prophecy for our new grandson who was not born until December 8th 2005.
January 30, 2006 Through the work of the Holy Spirit I quit drinking alcohol completely. (I do still have communion wine and some wine in spaghetti sauce.) This has to do with the purifying work of the Holy Spirit. I am not an alcoholic but my brother mother and father were. Now they are with the Lord. One of my sons is an alcoholic who is in AA and is about to marry a gal who is also in AA.
March 29, 2006, Great prophecy for C. Had problem with a varicose vein that day in my left leg that Jeanne prayed for. Had to go to the emergency room. It was OK. I had been a catcher at a previous services for Jeanne and I had been mildly attacked. Also, somewhere in here Jeanne prayed for our new grandson’s heart. Before he was born on December 8, 2005, with my daughter in law and the baby in the womb Jeanne gave a prophecy that the baby would be born with the Holy Spirit already within Him. I believe this is true and he will be a great servant of the Lord. This prophecy happened in the Sid Smith room in November, 2005.
July 29, 2006 @ main church. Session on Prophecy and the Gifts of the Spirit. This is not exactly what Jeanne said but this is how my spirit interpreted it. “The Spirit wants to break me out of the bondage of my flesh for His Work.” I desire for that to happen very much and I am still on my face before the Lord.
We prayed for my friend M. Earlier in the day she had singled out a man named M at the church. My friend M I met at Columbia University in 1965-1967. He has had some difficulties lately and I believe the Lord is working on Him. I have been praying for him and had recently mailed him a book titled “Street Saints” By Barbara Elliott which I think will move him close to God. He is a client of mine. I stood in the gap for M.
Lastly, she said that I am a Man of God. I am going to start seeing the Favor of the Lord. Slain in the Spirit. I go down very fast now when I am near Jeanne. Had to get M in very quickly. (Jeanne for your info- M is in the Forbes 400 and is now worth about $1 billion.) I would rather have the Lord than a billion.
Hi Jeanne…you have been on my heart a lot lately! Every time I find myself praising the Lord, I find my heart praising Him for you and your ministry. The words of knowledge He has given you for me and my family have been hope and healing for us!
Your ministry time with C on your last visit was perhaps world changing as his work ripples out. Amazing things are going on!!!!! He is a changed man, born again, and finds Himself calling on Jesus all the time and the Lord has been very busy with C. He got home from the hospital at 11 p.m. last night, 2 hours later than he had predicted, and this a.m. he told me that he was in a tight spot in the OR and kept calling on Jesus to ‘take the wheel” (there was a LOT of interference coming his way from the family waiting room bc the family’s other kids had DIED on the operating table from a hereditary heart defect in other hospitals, so there was a LOAD of fear interference from the family in waiting room). C said the Lord came in the OR and got that child, miraculously, off of the bypass machine (only Jesus knows what He had to do in the spiritual realm to get through all of the enemy attack with the mom!). He said it was completely supernatural and was exactly what you had prepared him about.
I just have to share the “Good News” with you about C! I’ve just returned from having lunch with C/her Mom after the Wednesday morning Eucharist and Healing service at St. Luke’s. My Dear – C’s eyes are sparkling with the light of Christ! She said that when Jeanne McDowall (Smith) prayed with her that her whole spiritual life came alive! Jeanne was able to break the bonds that had held her captive! She cannot keep from showing the Love of Christ from within her. She is aglow and sings the praises of Jeanne McDowall (Smith). C is now a “New Creature in Christ”!!!!
I was just sitting there, in the beautiful parish hall of the church during the Order of St Luke’s Healing Mission. Sitting, shifting, and squirming, trying to find relief for my aching thighs and legs.
Sitting and thinking of getting up and leaving, to work out the kinks and pain out of my body. The painful and debilitating “Polymyalgia”, from which I had been healed months before, had apparently returned with a vengeance.
The leader, Jeanne McDowall (Smith), was walking around and singing softly, as led by the Holy Spirit. The scene was set; music, soft lights, His presence, and my desire. My thoughts and fears were overcome by the presence of Jesus Christ. As I relaxed with my eyes closed, sitting next to my wife, Diane, among about 100 other people, peace became dominant.
I was just sitting there when my wrist was taken, then I was pulled out of my seat into the aisle! Hands were placed upon me, seemingly from all directions. The facilitator’s (Jeanne) prayers and instruction’s were clearly directed at me. My attempts to join in the prayer were rebuffed, as I was told to “stop praying, just receive, receive”. Receive I did, as, standing there in the aisle, Jesus healed me again- removing the aches and pains, loosening the limbs to perform as God had made and intended them to perform.
Little did I know that Diane was lying in the aisle which we shared!
Sailing on His healing cloud through the next day of the mission was a literal breeze(or was it Ruach?), enabling me to concentrate on the leaders instruction’s, enabling this body to better share the healing of Jesus with all whom He might send my way. Thank you, Jesus.
The facilitator encouraged us to “reach out to Jesus” for our healing. My bible readings bear this out, as Jesus responded to His subjects, who all reached out , going to great lengths to get His attention and plead their case; from the woman with the issue of blood to the frothy-mouthed wild man at the tombs.
I was really blessed, and I was just sitting there!
This was the first time I ever felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. It was a profound and overwhelming, and my daughter is now talking about the fruits of the spirit. A new door has been opened and I am excited about where it will take us! I am going out to flip on the switch!
I experienced a cleaning of my soul and a renewal in the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this incredible Church Lord.
Thank you God for forgiving me, for healing me, and for filling me with peace. Discovering I have a gift for working with children.
This weekend was not a coincidence. We have been battling turmoil within the house… we were battling it in the flesh, instead of in the spirit. We know this has been a turning point for all of us to work more closely in the spirit.
Thank you God!….He is alive- how awesome! I feel so blessed to be in your presence. I have never felt the Holy Spirit…….What an amazing life changing experience. Thank you God and all!
This is the first family retreat we have attended. It has been a life changing experience for my family and me. Praise God for those responsible and to the Holy Spirit for guiding us there. In the name of Jesus Christ we are better persons. Thank you.
Physical, emotional healings, more filling of the spirit, deeper in the Spirit. Thank you. We loved it!
Jesus healed my ankle. Amen. He also resolved something else, but I am still waiting for Him to tell me what it is!
My day was Saturday. Even before Jeanne laid her hands on me, I was shaking from head to toe!! As she came towards me my tongue loosened up. I started to speak in tongues. She placed her hands on me and I fell down, started crying, feeling good though!! Revived and at peace with joy.
Thank you Lord, my whole family was prayed for!! This year is going to be filled with happiness!
We had the best experience of the presence of God and the Holy Spirit. The power of forgiveness….and accept God’s plan for our lives….The miracle of my family healing after 2 years of resentment, anger, jealousies, unforgiveness, we left all that old stuff at the foot of the cross with Jesus.
We are healed by the blood of Jesus. We received and believe it. We got the weapons this weekend to fight satan every day. The word of God.
What a remarkable weekend! It was pure conviction to see so many people of all ages transformed by the Holy Spirit. Our whole family was prayed for and we all felt moved! My 13 yr old son, had a transforming experience. At first he was scared, but when Jeanne offered him prayer she knew his heart “sports”. He was stunned that she could tell what he loved. She told him that he would pursue his sports love but would need to rely on Christ for success. He was convicted, transformed and moved! My child truly has faith- it has just been reinvigorating in a BIG way!
How wonderful this weekend has been. During the session we received what we needed. The Lord delivered my daughter from a mystery ailment. No Doctor has been able to find a cause or cure. The Lord healed her this weekend. He restored authority in our household. I feel the Lord urging me to step back and let my husband lead.
He poured out His spirit on me; my worship experience was totally uninhibited for a change- WOW! We made new friends; the children played and had a wonderful time, my son told me he felt like he belonged and accepted with the kids he met this weekend. Thank you God, and all the staff for your ministry. We were deeply touched. Thanks.
The Lord truly wanted my family there this weekend, even though the enemy tried to keep us from coming, and once we were there, he even tried to get us to leave for Houston after the first night! We prayed and asked God to show us what He has shown us for the past 6 months- to wait on the Lord!
This weekend was a divine appointment, and the Lord is working in our marriage, our family, and continues to reveal His purpose for our lives for His Glory. I thank the Lord for bringing us to the retreat, and keeping us here the entire weekend! The Lord has ministered to us in the Holy Spirit and Spoken and Written Word.
The Holy Spirit was released in me to convict me, send the enemy and his lies away and to empower me to do God’s will and purpose in my life to His glory. Pride is such a big issue and God is trying to melt that. I will keep praying for discernment of the gifts the Holy Spirit wants “my vessel” to share what, where, and how. Jeanne shared that my husband has the gift of great wisdom and I of touch and healing. I pray God can use both of us and will show us where and how. I pray we will not keep the light under a bushel.
This morning I felt well rested, which has been a problem over the last several months. My husband asked me how I slept and I said great. He said “Boy, you dreamt!” I asked, “Why do you say that, did I toss or turn or talk?” He said “You talked and I awoke and saw a big light, a spotlight, shining down on you and a hand was reaching out to me and you were saying “take it”.” I don’t know what the Holy Spirit is saying, but my husband and I must work together in the Lord, and the Spirit will guide us.
I had no recollection of the dream, but clearly God was using me as He was using my husband. I needed to hear the light, the Spirit is upon me. I think my husband needed to “take it” and do something with “it”. Praise the Lord.
What an amazing weekend! I really had no idea what to expect, and honestly had no indication of what was in store for us. But it was a divine appointment- I was meant to be there, no doubt. I have never had so many emotions; cried so bitterly, felt so much peace, such joy, had such profound questions as during different points this weekend.
What really is fascinating is that many of the things that I witnessed and experienced this weekend are things that made me very uncomfortable in the past. Not this weekend. There was so much pain in my heart that I really needed to understand, to pray about, to confess. So much pain. I had to leave the room to cry.
During the evening session I stood when Jeanne asked for those who were not sure. And again, she laid hands upon me and this time I felt it. My heart is so much lighter, I feel peace. I feel I have an idea of what the Lord might want of me. I have been talking about this weekend to people with whom I would not otherwise discuss such matters. I am changed.
I thought of myself as a person of tremendous faith- and I was, on one level. But now I am obedient and I understand and believe in a way I had not before. I feel questions that I would like to explore and I am hungry to know what the Lord has in store for me. I believe there are gifts beyond what I received this weekend but think that maybe I was not ready to receive them. I am praying about how I can make myself ready.
My wife and I have grown together as Christians in the last 6 months more than any other stage in our lives. God has broken us during this time through the trials we have been through. Our reliance on Him has become stronger as we try to give Him all our worries and concerns each day.
During the Holy Spirit seminar and the time since we have learnt ways to defeat the enemy in our daily walk with God. We feel a closeness to each other and to God now and His word has come to life for us. We have felt the Holy Spirit move within us as He sends His peace and joy into our lives. The devil has continued to attack us, but we are now more aware and understanding of the tools that God has equipped us with. Each day we ask God to equip us with the full armour which is available to us all. We are filling our heavenly tool box with weapons so powerful that satan cannot defeat.
We have learnt so much over the last couple of months and now realise that with every curse God turns that into a blessing. God has surrounded us with people who have a heart for Him which has been evident through their prayers and actions and we give all the glory to God for each victory that He gives us.
We now realise we are in the age of the Holy Spirit and we need to embrace Him and continually ask for all the gifts which He longs to give us. We thank and praise God for all He has done and will do in our lives through the Holy Spirit.
I went along with surrender and expectation. Talking with a friend and sister in Christ about healings we have heard of, and fatigue of wanting to live a fully Spirit filled life but falling short; understanding the nature of the time and wanting to be all in for Jesus.
When asked the question with the group if anyone wanted healing and to stand if we did, I hardly heard what was said. I’d had a big week and very big day so missed it because I was tired… but I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to ask what was said and stand. I was already experiencing the anointing of God… but did not recognise this at the time.
As prayer was extended to others, I agreed but received a measure of blessing associated with them… I was receiving collateral blessings by being in agreement.
Waved of Holy Spirit rolled over me and I wondered if I would fall. I was reassured I was safe and held. When I had hand laid on my heart, I encountered such power. A surge of Holy Spirit rushed into me and pressed all areas of me from inside, more like rushing wind surging and purging my being. My heart was pounding sooo hard. But I wasn’t frightened.
The Spirit pushed out the evil that had rooted in me. Took out a strongman I believe. This root was deep from childhood trauma. Jesus took it along with “holding it all together” bitterness, self-pity and sadness. It had no chance in the presence of that power. The physical manifestation of pain especially in my bones was gone.
I know there is more to come… and I’m not afraid.
I received a revelation of gift given which was a larger measure of the Spirits anointing. With the responsibility of growing in strong character which represent the fruit of the Spirit. Need wisdom of how to carry this gift.
I understand now that the anointing is the power behind miracles.
Waves followed for the next few days at the very thought of God. Still are, but not as strong.
I exercised using this gift on Sunday mornings worship. The church was tired and not enthused… my thoughts were “well I’m glad it’s tough that way I will see the change in the room is all God… bring it on!” The presence of God was very palpable as collective worship deepened. Another involved in leading said “No words”. There was prayer and tears afterwards. I saw the glory roll over them. What an incredible thing to witness!
Just wanted to give you a PRAISE REPORT and thank you for your prayer. I went to the GYN Dr, he took three pieces of flesh and sent it away, said he could see something. I rebuked it, and claimed the REPORT of the LORD, not the report of the test…
The test came back… nothing was there at all.
I am healed by His stripes. God is soooo good. To God be the Glory.
I attended your service at which you prayed for me. I had been on pain medication since 1996 on account of injuries in an auto accident. Many have prayed for me. Regardless, the pain persisted. I dislike taking medication, especially for pain, but on the day of the service I had to take the full prescribed dosage (3 tablets) just so I could attend. During the service the pain persisted.
I went to the front during the first call, and you prayed for me. Since then, I haven’t had to take any pain medication. Praise the Lord! He used you greatly that evening to bring me relief.
May God continue to bless you immensely.
Dear Jeanne.
Thank you for coming to Wellington & sharing your life & love for Jesus with us. You have become so special to me personally in such a short space of time, it’s truly amazing to see how Jesus brings people together, and in such a gentle & unassuming way.
The time I have spent with you has meant more to me than I can say & I know it has brought lasting change to my life.
You are just such a beautiful, anointed woman of God & the love of Jesus really does just continually pour out of you. You have been such an encouragement & inspiration to me & I just thank Jesus for you.
I look forward to many more times spent with you & adventures in God & just be able to talk with you as a mother. What a gift you truly are!
1 Cor 4:15 “Afterall, though you should have ten thousand teachers (guides to direct you) in Christ, yet you do not have many ‘MOTHERS’. For I became your ‘mother’ in Christ Jesus through the glad tidings (the Gospel)
All my love & blessing,
Thank you so much for inviting me to experience Jeanne McDowall (Smith). I was really struck by her ability to awaken each of us to the presence of the Holy Spirit.
I must report that the chronic pain I experience is no longer with me this week. I can only attribute it to God who answered Jeanne’s prayers. The pain is always with me and sometimes is excruciating. Today is Thursday and I don’t feel it.
Praise God
Thank you again for the invitation to join you all this morning for your bible study and healing session with Jeanne McDowall (Smith). She is obviously a woman of great faith and spirit-gift. She has a powerful, and yet gentle presence. It was a gift to not only be in her presence, but to be the light and love that was flowing in the room during her session.
From the time we first met, you have been God’s gift to me. You have been His hands. His hand of ‘healing love’ and peace. Always releasing upon me faith and hope. I shared with you the hope that you gave me. I have always felt spirit reaching spirit. Deep talking to deep. But it’s taken until now to know what that fully means. Ps 42:7 A work of the Holy Spirit!! A deep work! Like John 4:4 ‘a well rising up within’. John 7:38 & 39. The Holy Spirit’s work is very deep. Our minds are not always aware of what He is doing deep within us. But we see the fruit!
Dear Jeanne,
I wanted to tank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us today. Your ministry is a blessing indeed!
Along with the rest of the group, I was hoping to have a chance to visit with you more. That is the nature of the Holy Spirit, isn’t it? When we see it, feel it, somehow come in contact with it, we always want more.
With many thanks for your care and generosity in helping out little girl get better.
What an enormous blessing I received through Jeanne. I received a deep spiritual healing during my time with her. I know her to be a truly anointed person that has the truth of the Holy Spirit in her presence. What she gave to me was clear, direct understanding of what is happening in my life, the choices I have before me, and when we prayed together… honestly, I felt I was face to face, eye to eye with Jesus. It was riveting and absolutely from the Holy Spirit.
Today, I sense that a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, my heart is light, and my eyes are starting to look alive again. I know God called me to come to her yesterday, I exaggerate not at all, prior to that day I felt as though my spirit was slowly draining from my body. A miracle? I can’t say that others would call it that, but for me, I choose to claim it as a miracle that pulled me up from the ‘pit’ and set my feet upon a solid foundation. I feel as though I am ‘squared’ with Jesus Christ… and freed of all other distractions that kept taunting me for my attention and energy. I am deeply calmed. A feeling I’d almost forgotten.
Jeanne,
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for blessing me with your kindness, your gentleness, and mercy, reflecting the love of Jesus. His love has touched me through you in the depths of my heart where I was broken. Look what God has done! God bless you!
Jeanne,
Thank you for visiting with us on card night. It certainly was an unusual card night, as the Holy Spirit doesn’t always come to us. I was very touched by what the Holy Spirit led you to say to me. It was exactly what I needed to hear.

Wow! What an awesome experience to meet and be so blessed by Jeanne McDowall (Smith)! I believe I received a special healing through her.
I know when I encounter a presence that is saturated by the very life of Christ. The beauty of Christ oozed out from you copiously.
Jeanne,
I wanted you to know how you have changed my life – FOREVER! Thank you, Jesus. Many, many thanks, more than words can say, for the prophetic words you gave me over a year ago. What a blessing you gave me and I gave to others that I have met this past year. You’ve helped me to understand how to react to the message of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus. Wishing you continued success with your ministry. You truly are a channel of His peace, His word. I feel so bless to have met you. Thank you, Jesus.
Jeanne,
We just wanted to thank you for all the time you have spent imparting “fresh fire” into each of us. We both know God has done a deep work. We are humbled that God is allowing us to be a part of this “NEW” wave of His love being imparted to central Florida.
I was healed by Jeanne McDowall (Smith) on Sunday Feb 13th 2005 when she prayed for me. I have not been sleeping well for a long time now and she prayed for me to have good sleep and rest. Since she prayed for me, I have been sleeping life a new born baby and I get up each morning feeling so refreshed. I thank and praise God for Jeanne McDowall (Smith).
Jeanne,
You have so blessed me during the past week. You brought much healing and revival for me personally by what you have preached and by what you have prayed over me. I know that you touched many here at St John’s in the same way.
Dear Jeanne,
It has been such a pleaser to be with you this weekend and to come into communion with our Savior. Our lives are forever changed.
Jeanne,
You were a blessing to the family! Praise God for your willingness to serve Him!
Dear Jeanne,
Thank you so much for following the Lord un ministering the way you do – all over the world, yet on such a personal level. I have been very blessed by your encouraging words about my husband. I continue to keep my eyes open to what the Lord wants me to turn my spiritual attention towards. One release I felt after you prayed with me continues to allow me to experience new facets of the Holy Spirit within me; and I am grateful to God and you for that!
Dear Jeanne,
Thank you so much that through your wonderful ministry, that change is happening in my life.
When you prayed about removing “all that is not of God” and mentioned generational curses I had a definite response throughout my body, followed by what seemed like a deep release from within. Since then, I have felt like a huge burden has lifted. At odd times the doubt occurs that I have been released, but I am claiming and thanking God for what He has done.
I can’t thank you enough Jeanne for being His wonderful faithful daughter who made this opportunity available for me.
Dearest Jeanne,
Thank you for being available to the Lord to bless us! Thank you especially for taking the time with L. and leading him to the Lord! I will always praise God for you!
Jeanne blessed so many of our people with her ministry and I am deeply grateful to her for all she does for the body of Christ.
Hello Jeanne, woman of God,
I greet you first of all in the amazing name of Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank the Lord at every remembrance of you and the encounter I had when you ministered to me while in Orlando earlier this month. I attended the meeting not having much expectation, but the Lord not only knocked my socks off, but also blew my mind in the process.
You were accurate in what you said under the direction of the Holy Spirit. I am happy to say, my life has changed for the better. I feel the impartation I received that night propelled me into another level of revelation and anointing. God is amazing.
Your voice is needed by the Lord in times like these. Please continue to say yes to Him concerning equipping His saints. Woman of God, thank you and please know that wherever you are daily “You are the move of God” in that place at that very moment. You carry the move of God so humbly, gracefully and powerfully.
Jeanne,
Words of thanks are inadequate, but I am so grateful to God for the work that He has done for our family through you, God’s prophet. There was major breakthrough today when the soul ties were broken and we were able to release mom to the Lord. Thank you for your help, your guidance, you love. I’m so grateful so B’s complete healing. Thank you for your faithfulness and obedience to the Lord concerning B.
I met Jeanne McDowall (Smith) at the Alamo Heights Methodist Church in San Antonia at her healing meeting in 2005. At the Lord’s leading in 2004, she had prayed for my brother, B, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. B. testified that she had ‘picked him out of the crowd’ and ministered to him with the power and authority of the Lord. Brad not only received a significant measure of healing from the debilitating symptoms as a result of her prayers, but also experienced the present and real love of the Lord through her obedience and friendship.
A I have grown in my relationship with Jeanne I have come to know the integrity of her heart and the Father’s love that flows through her for others. She has demonstrated the characteristics of the Lord in her ministry by submitting to His authority, as well as earthly leadership. The scripture that I believe would best describe Jeanne’s ministry would be: John 5:19 – “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.”
Jeanne has become a special part of our family, and I believe she is His gift to use and to the body of Christ.
Dear Jeanne,
Thank you so much for praying over our family. You richly blessed our lives and truly have a gift from God. You have a way of setting people free, encouraging them in their walk of life, and showing people how to hear from God. I really witnessed the Holy Spirit and you brought tears and joy to my heart when you prayed.
Thank you so much. I learned so much about myself and others. You really gave me confidence in myself and I saw God’s calling on my life. Thanks again. You have such a powerful gift of prayer. Thanks for being such a love and blessing to out family. You have no idea the impact you made.
Dear Jeanne,
You probably don’t remember me, I was on the same flight with you to San Antonio back in February 2005, we had seats on the same row. We prayed together and you asked the Lord that I find someone to share life together.
I think I have; the woman, I visited in San Antonio, and I hit it off. She will be visiting me here in Florida this week. It may not be proper, but we do have feelings for each other and we have talked about marriage.
I celebrated my 70th birthday this past June 6th and she is a little more than a year younger than I. She is a very loving person; she has to be for she is a devoted Christian.
I thought I’d let you know that your prayer has been answered. I’m planning on asking her to marry me. I’ve been alone too long, it’s time to move on with my life.
Thank you for your prayer.
Dear Jeanne,
I am so blessed to be able to learn from your wisdom and forerunner experience in God’s wats and the supernatural. You have actively sown and watered holy seeds and watched patiently to see the Holy Spirit’s growth and pruning of me over the years.
I have watched you “soar” in the supernatural as an eagle and seer prophet, and your heights have consistently helped me “draft” to new heavenly heights. You’ve also taught me about access to heavenly places. I’ve learned so much from you.
Dear Jeanne,
We can’t begin to tell you what your love and friendship has meant to us and how the Lord has blessed us both through your powerful ministry.
My whole life I went to church. But I didn’t know Jesus. I longed to, but I was just too broken to think He would ever love me. I had anorexia, depression and very bad self-esteem.
I remember going to church one day and saying that it was the last time that I would go. I couldn’t do it anymore, I was giving up on God, and myself. This was such a pivotal moment in my life. I had hit rock bottom and didn’t know where to go. A friend of mine told me about Jeanne and said I think you should meet her. Not knowing what to do next I said sure.
I remember the first time I met Jeanne. She was the sweetest person who exhumed love and Jesus. She looked at me, and saw who I truly was. She loved me without knowing anything about me. She just knew all of my troubles and pain. She knew the right things to say to draw my spirit out and for me to feel again. She invited me to her meetings that she was having, that night being the first one. I said yes, I would go.
Watching Jeanne preach and minister that night, I said “I want that”, that power and confidence, that Jesus. I felt God’s presence so heavy and tangible in a way I had never felt before. I had to learn to open my heart to Him, to receive His love.
I went to 11 out of her 12 meetings. I couldn’t get enough of Jesus. I just wanted more and more. Sitting under that anointing changed my countenance. People said my face had changed, and I felt it! I became alive again!
Dear Jeanne,
The light of God shines from your face. What a blessing you are.
When Jeanne began praying over me, I was immediately filled to overflowing by the Holy Spirit. Her words of prophecy were a real encouragement and lifted a burden that I had been carrying for a long time. I left with a deep sense of peace and contentment.
When I first heard Jeanne speak, I could feel the Holy Spirit filling the room. Her words of knowledge and encouragement had a profound effect on my life. She is a Spirit-filled, joyful, compassionate woman. The Lord has blessed her with incredible gifts and she in turn has blessed me.
On each of the previous occasions that Jeanne has been with us it has been clear that God has blessed her with the unique gifts of healing and prophesy. Her ministry among the people of St John the Divine has been manifested in significant and miraculous healings of body, mind, and spirit.
Jeanne’s ministry astonished me as she spoke God’s word so individually to each person in the chapel that day. It was a powerful message that this is how God wants us to understand His daily love for us – that He knows us intimately and wants us to bring every need, every disappointment, every hope, every hurt every desire to worship – all of ourselves to Him. He wants us to believe who He is. God truly is love.
Your city is being given a gift as Pastor Jeanne McDowall (Smith) comes to you. She listens and imparts to the church the heart of God in the fullness of His Spirit.
I have been encouraged by Jeanne each time she has been with us. She has a heart for pastors and the blessings and heartaches of church leadership. All our participants, in her times of ministry, have truly experienced God’s touch. Jeanne’s prophetic ministry among us is both anointed and accountable to the leaders of the church. She is unfailingly consistent in delivering God’s word in a manner that builds up the church, even when God has given her messages that herald the painful process of godly change in our lives and church. I Comment her to you and look forward to her next visit.
Jeanne is an agile, adept and superbly sensitive minister of the love of Christ, the truth of Scripture, and the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through those who believe and are willing to receive.
She is a truly awesome lady who grows in the anointing of the Lord every time she has come from Australia to minister to us. Every place we have gone, she has been invited back and wins a place I the heart of all she meets. She ministers with the love of the Father and with astonishing grace and gentleness.
Jeanne spoke a word of knowledge to me about carrying many people’s burdens. She also told me that I am not the “Savior”. God’s words to me through Jeanne have been both liberating and convicting. My heart’s desire is to embrace this message fully! I will be spending more time in God’s presence asking for His help in placing these burdens (mine and others) at the Cross where they belong! B. and I were both blessed by our time with Jeanne!
I heard Jeanne McDowall (Smith) for the first time last October, about the time I started studying Song of Solomon. A lot about that night was new and unusual for me, but one thing I couldn’t deny, emotion so powerful overtook me, and left me wanting more. On the family retreat in March, I heard Jeanne again. Again, I found myself overcome with emotion and praying that I would do whatever it took to be closer to God.
Throughout the course of the Holy Spirit seminars and the public healing meeting with Jeanne McDowall (Smith), I felt the Holy Spirit in a real way. I received a lot of healing, and felt happier, lighter, more relaxed and had more energy.
In March, our world was turned upside down – my soon to be 16 year old son was diagnosed with bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss, with vertigo and tentinus, which is permanent hearing loss.
In hind sight God was holding us together – and it was not easy. For my son’s 16th birthday, he received his hearing aids – it was a very bleak night around here. I, who never asks for favours, began asking everyone to pray for him. People I barely knew, friends who were not religious, even the post woman. The Holy Spirit had me turn off anything that was not praise music. “Lord I Lift Your Name on High” was almost my theme song – whenever I know I would stop breathing, or my heart was breaking – I found comfort in this song. I had never listened to praise music much before, religious music, but not praise music. Now I had this burning need to praise Him. Prayers were now constant conversations with the Lord, I stopped saying amen, because I knew I was not finished.
In May, I went to coffee with Jeanne McDowall (Smith) – the day of the Jeanne McDowall (Smith) prayer coffee, I knew I had to go. I sat in the back but I knew I was to be there – with her. She asked people to stand that needed healing – I did not stand as I was healthy (how wrong I was) – she came anyway and prayed over me. I admit I didn’t go down – but I felt this incredible weight and warmth, saw purple, and went to a special private place with God. Where time stood still, where God knew what you were praying for before you did, where you were safe, and nothing that was not of God could come. Tears flowed like a river. Afterwards, Jeanne prayed for my son’s hearing. “Whatever he is listening to – that is not good – turn it off. What is going on with his ears is not of God”. She also said that I could lay hands on him and heal him. She then laid hands on me for him. This was a whole new world opening up. My life was forever altered. It was at this moment that I learned that we could not be passive receivers waiting for God – we have to be in a relationship with Him, where we obey His call.
I joined a prayer group. I prayed over his ears and his room on numerous occasions. For his total healing, no more hearing aids, ever.
In August, I reported to the prayer group that my son’s hearing was getting better – or so I thought. Then two weeks later – was the day our world was shaken. Like those snow globes – the snow was a miracle. The doctor came in one day before school to adjust the volume of his hearing aids. The doctor said he did not need them anymore – his hearing, although not perfect, was in the normal range – he did not need the hearing aids. My son asked what happened and the doctor said that the Lord had heard all of our prayers and had answered them. There was no medical explanation – but to give God the glory. So, the next day my son went to school without hearing aids and hearing his friends, teachers, life once more. He also asked the doctor the day before if he would lose his hearing again? That if he took out his hearing aids, he could not emotionally ever put them back in. The doctor replied that God gives us complete miracles – you are healed.
Attending the Holy Spirit convention run by Jeanne McDowall (Smith) in October 2007 was an awesome experience that helped me take a few big steps forward in my walk with God
