Casey Uggen writes: "While I was a pre-believing rebel (at 27), thinking I was cool at the Burning Man festival, I was airlifted after an internal injury from Thunderdome fighting...little did I know the Creator of the Universe would encounter me on the helicopter on the way to Reno Emergency Center; showed me I was not RIGHT with HIM, scared me sober - right out of the morphine. And HE HEALED ME - docs had to release me, they couldn't explain the recovery, people!!! GOD IS REAL! I have a science degree from the U of M that can't even stop me from my faith -- in fact, the more into science you get, the more it EXPLAINS GOD (quantum physics). THANK YOU, JESUS, You are worthy of my life I have surrendered to YOU. I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS this story. I want to see them on that Day."

Stories of Faith - Episode 27

Narrated by Christine La Vita: "When I was in Assemblies of God church in Australia (Wollongong) back in 1996-1999, there was an old gentleman from England, called Raymond. He used to get up and tell us of the miracles he had seen as a 10 year old boy in England, under the ministry of Stephen Jefferies and Smith Wigglesworth and others. Tears used to fill his eyes and he would choke up as he recounted them. He said one time, all the ministers were seated on a big platform in a hall. Raymond sat up the front row. He said, a mother came forward with a little boy whose legs were so twisted that they were back to front. He stood there in front of them all badly deformed, all alone. Suddenly, Raymond said, the mighty Presence of the Lord filled the platform and all the ministers (healing evangelists and others) ran, they fled from the platform. Raymond said that right before his eyes, he heard bones creaking and watched in wonder, as an invisible Hand straightened the little boys’ legs and feet, until he was totally healed! All the people erupted in cheering and shouting for joy! Other remembrances old Raymond had too."

Stories of Faith - Episode 26

There was a man who had charge of evangelism in a great church.

A new pastor came who was a zealous soul winner. He took the fellow out in door-to-door witnessing. 

When they returned that night after leading several souls to Christ, he said: "I've been the Sunday School Superintendent of this Church for 33 years. I've presided over our evangelism activities, but tonight I have a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ which I never experienced before."

Stories of Faith - Episode 25

Story by by Joel Oluyemi: "This happened one fateful night in the month of November 1995.

I was on my way (alone) to the staff quarters in Lagos State University (LASU) which is quite some distance from the University Auditorium where a Christian musical programme was taking place at about 2.30am. At a junction I saw a set of people along a foot path which I was meant to pass through.

Immediately the Holy Spirit told me they were cult members and that they just finished an initiation ceremony. Though there was an alternative to change my route, I didn't even think about it. I headed straight on for the same foot path.

The boys were almost fifty in number wearing black trousers and black T-shirts and they were coming in two's They were well arranged from the beginning of the foot path to its end. The word fear didn't cross my mind. I didn't speak in tongues, neither did I pray. I was just consumed with boldness and I just walked in between them looking into their faces but they could not behold mine. I knew it was not me they were seeing, the Holy Spirit had either made me invisible to them or covered me with a glory that can't be beheld. I walked with my shoulders held up high, looking at their faces shaking my head. After I left them, then the thought came into my memory that I'd just passed between about fifty cult members without being hurt or harassed.

It was then, it dawned on me that it was beyond the physical. There was something extra ordinary about me. The answer was not far fetched, it was not me but the Lord that blind folded the cult boys as He did for Elisha in 2 Kings 6:18.

There was another night that I encountered another set of cult members, about eight in number. This time I challenged them and asked where they were coming from at that time (it was about 2am). Of course, evil must bow at the gate of the righteous. They were mesmerized by the presence of the Holy Spirit in me. If only we Christians could recognize who we are in Christ, we would have taken our world for our Master, but our world is full of fearful Christians who cannot trust their Father to deliver them from carnal weapons like guns, sword, cutlasses and charms etc."

Stories of Faith - Episode 24

Narrated by T.L Osborn

"When we first ministered in Java, Thailand it was a 95% Moslem. Around the world we had heard how difficult the Moslems were to reach. They do not believe that Jesus is God's Son or that God raised Him from the dead. We remembered how helpless we were to convince them in India. But now things were different. We knew HOW to believe for miracles.

The first night I preached to that multitude, when I finished my message, I told them that I would not expect them to forsake their religion and accept the Jesus of the Bible unless it would be proven to their satisfaction that Christ is alive. I expressed that I did not feel a dead Christ could do them any good.

They knew that Jesus Christ had once lived on earth. They understood that He was a good man, a sort of prophet even a healer with strange powers to do miracles. But they understood that He was dead.

There is only one argument to win a Moslem. If Jesus Christ is alive, let Him do the miracles which He did before He was killed! He is dead, He can't. If He is risen, He will!

I called for deaf people. I told them I would prayy in JESUS' NAME. If Christ is dead, His Name would have no power. If, He is alive, He would do the same as He did before men killed Him.

The first man up the steps was a Moslem priest about 55 years old, wearing his black fez. He had never heard in one of his ears.

I witnessed to him of Jesus Christ, then I told him how I would pray. I explained how God was looking down on us, how He had raised His Son from the dead, how He wanted men to know Christ was raised for our Justification, and how He would give, this by doing this miracle.

Then I told the audience "If this man does not here when I have finished praying, you can say I am a false preacher and Jesus is dead; but if he does ear, now that 

Christ is risen, because a dead Christ cannot do such a miracle."

I placed my finger in his ear and prayed let it be known that Jesus Christ is thy son, that Thou didst raise Him from the dead and that only through Him and His shed blood can men come to Thee and receive Eternal Life let this be known according to the Scriptures by causing this deaf ear to heal IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME I pray. Amen!

The entrire audience gasped when the old priest could hear the faintest whisper even the tick of a watch perfectly. Thousands raised their hands that night to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord."
