Healing Power
One Sunday, a preacher was teaching his sermon. It was on “Healing”. At the end of the sermon, he asked the congregation if anyone needed to be healed today. A man came up, and the preacher asked him for his name.
“J-J-Jon,” he replied.
The preacher asked him what his problem was.
“I…I…I…w-w-w-well…I-I…stu-stu-stu….I…st-stutter…a-a-lot.”
“Okay,” the preacher said, “you just go over there behind that screen and we’ll pray for you in just a second.”
The preacher turned to the congregation, and asked, “Does anyone else need to be healed?”
Another gentleman came up on crutches.
“What is your name?”
“Fred.”
“What can we do for you?”
“Well, I’ve had to walk on these crutches ever since I was young.”
“Okay, you go over there behind the screen with Jon, and we’ll pray for you, too.”
The preacher now got on his hands and knees and began to pray.
He stood up, and called out, “Fred!! Throw your crutches over the screen!!”
Two crutches flew over the screen.
“Jon, speak to me!!!”
“F-F-Fred-d…F-F-Fred..f-f…f-f-fe…f-fell…d-d-d-down!!”
