Miracles God Hath Wrought, Eyeglasses

I firmly believe in the working of miracles. I believe God uses human beings to perform these miracles. I believe God can work a miracle without the aid of a human being. I've been feeling inspired to tell some of the miracles I have witnessed in my life. Here's one:

A few years a go there was a man visiting our church service. He was a tall man that I gauged to be in his late 50's or early 60's. He was a sharp dressed man who wore glasses. His wife sat with him in service. There were obviously not used to our "style" of worship. Though not mocking they stood in their pew with their hands clasped respectfully in front of them waiting for the next portion of service. We, on the other hand, were clapping, singing, raising our hands, and though I can't remember exactly I wouldn't be at all surprised if some were dancing. (We tend to do that often at Souls Harbor!)

After Pastor was finished preaching he told the congregation that we were going to join in groups of 5 to 8 people and we were going to pray together. If anyone did not want to participate they should simply be seated and no one would bother them. Well, this visiting couple remained standing so those around them forming groups brought them in their group with them. My brother, who never misses an opportunity to be a part of someone receiving the Holy Ghost for the first time went into the midst of this group to lay hands on this couple. ("Lay hands on": put his fingers lightly on the forehead of one he's praying for. It was done over and over in the Bible. Its awesome!) Well, my brother leans toward the short side of a lot of men and this man was on the tall side of most men. This forced my brother to stand on the pew to lay hands on him. (Another common practice in our church. Whatever it takes to facilitate faith!) Jason, (my brother) had prayed for this man a mere 20 or 30 seconds when he, BOOM! Fell straight to the ground between the pews, knocking his glasses from his face! This shocked us all because he was such a stoic individual beforehand!

His wife didn't seem in the least bit perturbed so the people around kept right on praying in the Holy Ghost while my brother got down on the ground to check on the man. The man prayed on the ground for a couple minutes. When he had finished praying he opened his eyes and began to stand up. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He closed his eyes very deliberately and opened them again, looking around. With complete bewilderment he shook his head and asked, "Where's that man that prayed for me?" My brother had been there all along and reaching out his hand he said, "Hi, I'm Jason." The man, shaking his head in awe said, "Who are you?" And without waiting for an answer said, "I've worn glasses all my life. I've never been able to see without my glasses. But I can see perfectly clearly right now! I felt like lightening went through me when you touched me." Still in bewilderment he began to cry.

Unfortunately, I never saw the man again. But I will never forget his testimony. God shows his hand and power in the most amazing ways!
