Attended a week long "Miracle" Rally in London, it was a real old fashioned Pentecostal do, glorious worship, exquisite anointing, heavenly preaching and miracles galore. Many were saved.
The preacher had advised everybody not to expect to see any miracles on the first night, people need to be taught, when they have heards God's message then they will see miracles, if they believe.
That first night he took as his base Isaiah 53 the first 6 verses, he went back to the garden where man fell and sickness, poverty and death first entered the human experience along with sin, he went to Pilate's porch and Calvary to show how Christ was that suffering Servant who fulfilled the words of Isaiah, "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed." The sermon lasted almost 2 hours and I wished it could go no another 2.
Then the preacher closed in prayer.
Now I was in the outer circle facing the centre body, my attention was drawn to a little girl, I had noticed her before. She was a darling little blond thing about 6 years old. She had come to the meeting deaf and dumb. She wore a huge amplification device on her chest and back, it looked a little like a life preserver. By it loud noises were converted into vibration which would alert her of impending danger.
During the prayer she had become very animated, her face lit up like a little angel and she was tugging at her Nan's sleeve. Her ears had come open and she could hear the noise of people around her.
Meanwhile the preacher having dismissed the crowd with a blessing had started to walk off the platform. But he stopped and came back to the microphone, "somebody in the building has received a miracle" he declared, "Someone came to this meeting deaf and dumb but during prayer their ears came open and they are hearing normally."
Of course the little girl's Nan grabbed the child and rushed to the front, her hearing was tested on the platform and demonstrated to be perfectly normal, she also made her first sounds that night. What a precious miracle.
The next night the people came expectantly, faith was risen in their hearts. The preacher had only been preaching about 10 minutes when he said "for this purpose was the Son of God made manifest that He might destroy the works of the devil" A great wave of glory went through the whole auditorium and people started to get healed all over the place. And so it continued the whole week, the platform was filled with sticks and crutches, frames, chairs and other mobility devices as well as casts and various other medical implements. Needles used for drugs and piles of cigarettes also littered the platform as God set men and women free.
Many were saved each night to the glory of God.
