It's a miracle!

[TruelightUK]

Just thought I'd share a report I heard the other night from the Church Family Camp organised by the Elim (pentecostal) fellowship I attend.

There's a young lad (aged about 12 I beleive) who has been know to the church for some time, who suffers from spina bifida. He has to wear calipers on his legs, and walks supported on crutches: without these two aids, he would be unable to walk on his own. During the camp, he was prayed for by one of the speakers for healing. Immediately (as I understand) he was able to put down his crutches and walk unaided. He then removed his calipers, and walked (unsteadily at first, but then breaking into a run) around the tent. The kids who knew him were all in tears - as were many of the adults!

I hope this is true!!

I have no reason to doubt it - it was told me by a good friend whose daughter witnessed the event and whose wife knows the boy involved, and was also alluded to from the pulpit on Sunday night.

I've just been disappointed so many times, hearing about healings that weren't true that now I disbelieve them unless I hear it from an actual eye-witness and a doctor.

Christians, God bless 'em, want so badly to talk about miracles that they sometimes exaggerate or embelish actual events.

Can you document what happened to the boy?

 

[TruelightUK]

No, I can't. Maybe, given time, the Church concerned may be able to do so - it only happened last week. I agree that there are some sensationalised reports around but, in this case, I trust the people I heard the news from - especially as my friend, Ian, is even more cynical than me in such matters!

Praise the Lord! And who says the age of miracles has passed! In fact, there was never an age of miracles but a God of miracles -- and he is the same yesterday, today and forever!

 

[Blessed-one]

who says the age of miracles has passed? there're lots and lots of miracles in the third world countries! it all depends on how God does it.
