Miracles Still Happen
After sharing his personal testimony at a church in the Middle East, Chris and I were able to pray for a young boy who had a congenial birth defect in his right arm where his muscles had never developed. There was also an older man whose foot had been crushed in a construction accident and he was no longer able to work. After praying for them, the boy's arm miraculously grew muscles and the man's foot was fully restored right before our eyes!
On the same trip, we were given an opportunity to pray for a women who was diagnosed with stage four bone cancer. The family was a wealthy family who had seen many doctors and there was nothing more they could do for her. We were summoned by the woman’s aunt to come to the home and pray for her. When we arrived, it was clear that she had only days of life left. She smelled of death. We prayed, and we knew God could heal of course, but neither of us really expected her to be healed. We knew she was a Christian and we expected her healing to come through her death, not before. The aunt insisted we stay there and pray with faith. We did as she asked but it was not our faith we were praying with - it was hers. The next day we got a phone call that the woman got out of bed and went to see her doctor who confirmed that her cancer was 100% miraculously gone. So, she packed her bags and went on holiday to the Red Sea rejoicing.
We were able to minister to many families and churches while we were in Pakistan. We experienced many miraculous healings including a very large abdominal tumor that shrank before my very eyes. Eye sights were restored, hearing improved, and a huge variety of other ailments were instantly healed. One lady’s tongue was held by a demon where she had been mute for years. We watched as she was able to become free and begin to speak. Chris shared with the church the need for each person to extend the love of God to those who persecute you and the pastors are waiting for us to return and minister again.
Late one evening, we were heading home from a dinner appointment when our headlights shown on a face on the side of the road. After turning around, we found a woman that appeared to have been dumped out of a car. She was thin and frail. Chris got on the ground next to her and asked her her name, but she couldn't speak and could barely hold her head up. After the ambulance was called, she struggled for a few more minutes then laid down on the street and died. The Holy Spirit welled up within Chris and he thought, you are not dying on my watch! He prayed a simple prayer over her for the Holy Spirit to come and goose bumps suddenly covered her body and then her eyes snapped open. She took a deep breath and came back to life! Just then, the ambulance arrived and they got her on the gurney. She was sitting up and laughing with them while they were loading her. We never got her name or her story, but she is alive today because we stopped to call on the name of the Lord.
