This is the story about a man who was working under these conditions when something got in his eye.  This can be really irritating with severe pain!  The company sent the man to the doctor to get the object removed.  When the doctor looked at it, he said it would require the normal procedure which was a small drill.

Literally, they put your head in a fixed position between two pieces of metal wrapped in rubber.  Then, the machine they use is like a drill.  The object is to just touch the unwanted material in the eye with the end of the drill bit.  Usually, when this is done, the piece flips out with no other procedures necessary.

This was not the case with Jim who told the story at one of our miracle services.  The doctor actually drilled too deep into the eye causing permanent damage.  Jim could not see anything out of that eye from that day forward.  Basically, he had become blind in one eye. 

I met Jim as he came forward to the altar in response to the call for anyone who needed prayer.  The first question I asked him was if he was saved.  “Just Got saved Thursday”, he replied.   

I placed my thumb over his eye and prayed, and then I quickly removed my thumb and asked him what he saw.  The procedure was repeated about 3 or 4 times when Jim declared that he could see some out of the damaged eye.  Then we repeated the same thing again.  It just seemed as though the Lord was not going to heal any further.  I told Jim to sit down and wait on the Lord.

All of a sudden, everyone heard him shout!  His eye fell completely open to see as good as his good eye.  The church we were in had a plaque on the wall that said something about missions.  Jim could read this now with his new eye.  

What a celebration of a man who trusted his new Savior.  Jim is blessed, not only has his spiritual eyes been opened, but his physical eyes as well!!!

Even though the devil tried to discourage us with rain, we just moved the services into the sanctuary for two of those nights. Other nights, we saw people pull over and stop their cars, listening to the anointed music. Some got out and stayed for the service, while other cars slowed way down as they drove by. We saw souls saved, lives touched by God, and many receive His deliverance and healing.

The second night, a lady came for prayer, telling Bill that she was legally blind and could only see some shadows. In faith, Bill prayed and asked her what she saw. She told Bill that he was wearing a striped shirt. Bill prayed again and again asked her what she saw. This time she could see the brass cross with a red cloth in the front of the church. Bill prayed some more.

Then, the lady turned, and for the very first time, saw the face of her young great-niece. Oh, the joy radiating from her just can’t be described. She can now literally declare, “I once was blind, but now I see.” People had to help her into the church and up to the altar, but because of the power of God, she walked back from the altar all by herself and came back the next night unassisted.

Another lady came who was almost deaf in one ear. You should have seen her shout for joy when God opened her ear. As Bill often says, “If it hadn’t been for her ears, the smile would have gone clean around her head!”

We may never know all that God did, and how he used the water, the tracts, and these services, but we do know the seed was planted in hundreds as we prayed for them as they walked or drove by. We thank all of you who helped reach out.
