Witnessing signs and wonders can lead to faith. Many come to believe after Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead:
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
John 11:41–45 (NKJV)
Testimony
Inflammation in a shoulder
Ever since 1993, I have had inflammation in my right shoulder. My general practitioner examined me and found out that this was the cause of the suffering. The reason was that I had worked in home nursing for many years. There were many heavy lifts there. It was so painful that I couldn't scratch my back with my right hand. It got tired quickly. So one day I decided to call you. You prayed for me over the phone. After 14 days, I suddenly discovered one day that my shoulder had become well. Since I recovered, I have chopped wood and carried heavy things without feeling any shoulder pain.
“My daughter had COPD”
Two years ago, my daughter's doctor found out that she had COPD. This was revealed in an X-ray. My daughter had smoked for many years, so that was probably the cause of this affliction. A month ago, I called you and got prayer for her. My daughter didn't know about it. Then she went for a new check-up with her GP. He listened to her chest and asked: “What has happened? Now you are breathing much more than you need to,” a surprised doctor said to my daughter. She was now breathing normally and was no longer coughing. The doctor listened again and said, “I don't understand this – you are completely fine!” A week before, my daughter had called me and said, “Mom, now I no longer have COPD.”
