As God's people take Him at His Word, and boldly confess their faith and ask Him publicly for healings and miracles, God hears their prayers and grants their requests, as former missionaries Edgar and Darlene Coombs testify:
"In August of 1978 a miracle occurred in our Foursquare church in Penonome, Panama. One of the Sunday School boys died on the operating table at one of our local hospitals. His grandmother had taken him there for the removal of a cast from a broken hand.
When the doctor saw the hand would remain deformed, he ordered an operation. A second anesthetic was ordered when the first one failed. Suddenly, the attending doctor and nurses realized the child had died from the overdose. The medic went into the waiting room to inform the grandmother of her loss.
Trembling, she stood to her feet and felt she should pray, but she felt ashamed to pray in front of the people crowding the waiting room. Finally, she just fell to her knees and threw up her hands and cried to God to resotre the child's life. She also asked God to heal his deformed hand.
Just then, the medic returned to tell her that her boy was alive again! She rushed up to him and begged him not to operate on the hand. The doctor then came out and told her to take the boy home because the operation wouldn't be necessary! The boy had been completely healed!

Father, give us the courage to boldly proclaim our faith and to reach out to others and pray for them in every situation. Help us to swallow our pride and to put aside doubts and fear . . .

A pastor I know had prayed for someone to be raised from the dead once and she was. It really blew him away, because he said that he felt pretty silly praying for someone in a hospital who had been declared dead.
This guy I believe, because he was not one to be prone to sensationalism.
WoW!!! Brings tears to my eyes!!!
