The first time I shot heroin into my veins,

it just took me out of the world.

NARRATOR: Donald Nally struggled with drug addiction

most of his life.

He started using when he was 10, soon after his mother died.

What drugs did for me was they basically

helped me escape reality and the pain of things.

NARRATOR: Over the next 34 years,

Donald used every type of drug he could get his hands on.

He was also a drug dealer, and spent years behind bars,

but he could never admit he was destroying his life.

I never came to the knowledge of the truth

that what I was doing was harming anyone or myself.

It's like an endless cycle.

NARRATOR: That changed one day when he almost

overdosed on heroin.

I knew I was dying.

And I just, basically, said, God, you gotta help me.

I need your help.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I can't live like this anymore.

NARRATOR: Donald survived the near-overdose

and soon faced another arrest.

He was convicted of drug distribution

and faced 25 years with no parole.

Waiting to be sentenced, he cried out to God.

If you get me out of this mess, I'll try to do right by you.

And I heard this whisper in my ear,

and it said, Ecclesiasticus.

It totally stunned me.

I looked around, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's going on here?

I said, are you talking to me God?

NARRATOR: Donald found a Bible and started

reading through the book of Ecclesiastes.

He repented of his sins and surrendered his life to God.

It's like the words off of the Bible came alive.

And it's like they came up, and they shot straight

into my soul.

I started weeping like a baby and crying.

And I got down on the floor, with my face to the floor,

and I said, God, I have no doubts

that you just spoke to me by your voice somehow.

I said, and through your word.

So whether you get me out of this mess or not,

I want to do right by you, but I don't know how.

You have to show me how.

NARRATOR: Donald says God also delivered him

from his addiction.

But two weeks later, he began to feel sick

and went to the infirmary.

A blood test revealed he had hepatitis C from his years

of intravenous drug use.

The doctor told Donald it was the worst case he'd ever seen.

He said, you'll be lucky if you live past six weeks.

And when the doctor gave me that report,

I quoted the word of God back to him.

I said, you don't know who Jesus is, do you?

I said, Jesus is my Savior.

I said, not only is He my Savior, He's my Redeemer.

Not only is He my Redeemer, He's my healer?

NARRATOR: Donald says the doctor didn't prescribe medications

because he believed his illness was terminal.

Donald was quarantined, and while alone in his cell,

he began reading healing scriptures

and trusted God for his healing.

I would just literally take those scriptures

into my spirit, and I would speak them out.

And as my spirit got stronger, I believe

that's what pushed the disease out of my body.

Because the One working in me was stronger

than the disease that was on me.

NARRATOR: Six weeks later, Donald

says he woke up one morning feeling different.

At this time, when I knew that he knew that I was healed,

I just got the revelation of it.

The power of God didn't hit me in any powerful way

or anything.

I wish I could tell you it did, but it didn't.

It's like I woke up one morning and the light just came on.

You're healed.

It's done.

NARRATOR: Donald went back to the doctor for a checkup.

He was so sure of his healing, he asked to be retested.

When the doctor came back with those tests,

he was scratching his head like this.

He said, I do not understand this.

He said, this first report says that your liver

was totally deteriorated.

But this test here says it looks like you've

got a brand-new liver, and I don't understand it.

You're the most healthiest person

I've examined in a while.

And all I could do was look at him and say,

I told you Jesus was going to heal me.

I told you.

NARRATOR: Donald went before the judge a short time later

and all charges but one were dropped.

He left jail after just five months, saved, healed

and delivered.

Today, Donald is married to Kathleen,

and they travel the world sharing the gospel of Jesus,

and the message that God still heals.

When Jesus said it was finished,

He means it is finished.

And because of the miracles God has worked in my own life,

we've seen God work miracles in others' lives.

It's His will to heal, to deliver, and to always

set people free.

It's simply because He loves us.
