THE GLASS EYE!
This happened in the summer of 1963. That year Marge and I were
preceding the Citywide Crusades of Missionary Evangelist T .L.
Osborn.
We were holding rallies and services all over the UK. In the
city of Nuneaton, near the city of Birmingham England, we were
in a Crusade in a storefront Church.
We wondered what would God do in this endeavour to start a new
church.
The small hall was fairly filled the first night. The Lord
blessed and there was some healings but best of all about a half
a dozen people came to receive Christ.
The second night the hall was full, the response was a little
bigger almost a dozen people came and surrendered their lives to
Christ.
That, of course, is the greatest miracle that can happen. When
people are born again of the Spirit of God and open their hearts
and receive Jesus Christ as their own personal saviour. That is
the greatest miracle. You can go to heaven with a sick body but
not with a sick soul.
Among those who came forward was an older woman who also came
for healing.
She had arthritis and her one side, I believe, she
was suffering from a partial stroke.
She asked, after I prayed, if I believed God could do anything
for her. (Because God had taken the pain from her body.)
I said yes, that with God all things are possible. She said she
wanted to be delivered from the spirit of wickedness.
So, in the Name of Jesus, I bound and charged the spirit to
leave her and she said she was free.
She then asked me again if I believed that God can do anything
for her?
Again I said yes. She asked me to pray for her one more time.
I did and then we closed the service.
Since that was the final night of the short Crusade, we left
early the next morning for meetings in Cornwall.
A couple days later I had to phone Pastor Lloyd in Nuneaton.
When he answered, he said, "Tony Abram, where are you? Do you
know what happened at the meeting that last night?"
I said, "Well, I know the Lord blessed."
He said, "Do you remember the woman that you prayed for with the
spirit of wickedness?"
I said, " Yes."
He said, "Did you know that she was going blind and had no
eyeball in her left eye?"
I said, "No."
He said, "Did you know she had a glass eye?"
I said, "No."
He said, "Hold on to the phone. When she woke up the next
morning, she had not removed the glass eye the night before.
When she awoke she had an irritation in her eye socket. She took
out the glass eye and she found she could see."
Overnight God had created a new eye.
To make it short, she, for years, traveled all over England,
telling what Jesus had done for her.
Yes, the doctors had a answer for this. They said she had a
third eye that had moved into place. This was their answer to
the news media.
She spent over 20 years telling what Jesus did for her.
When the Bible tells us that Jesus healed the maimed and the
halt, the maimed and the halt was referring to people who had
parts of their body missing.
Do you remember when Jesus stood
before the blind man, what did He do? He reached down and picked
up some dust or soil and spit upon it. He made a paste and put
it on the man's eyes and the man, after washing, was completely
healed of his blindness.
I believe, because the Bible tells us in Genesis that we were
made from the dust of the earth, when Jesus looked at the blind
man , He saw something missing.
I believe, because He was there
in the beginning and because all things were created by Him and
for Him and exists because of Him, He saw what was missing and
made what was missing from the dust of the Earth.
Our God specializes in things thought impossible. He is a
miracle worker!
God bless you and
yours.
On behalf of this generation,
Your friends in the service of Christ,
