announcement - Church of God of Prophecy

A Gospel Singer’s Report
While ministering at my Gospel concert at Church of God
of Prophecy, 3915 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, I was
impressed to pray for a lady in the congregation. When
the Lord spoke to me the third time, I went over to her,
placed my hand on her, and prayed a very short prayer. I
told her the Lord said that “Everything is going to be okay,
and He loves you.” I continued singing, but I noticed that
the lady was crying uncontrollably, and I wondered if she
was offended by the prayer.
The following month, I met this lady again at a
wedding. I thanked her for attending my concert and
inviting her friends, and she began to cry again. I quickly
took her aside and asked her what was wrong. She
explained that right after I prayed for her in the concert,
she felt a pulling and popping sensation in her belly, and
that those tears were tears of joy. She explained that the
weekend before her scheduled fibroid surgery at the
Mercy Hospital in Long Island, New York, she had decided
to enjoy herself at my concert.
This lady had been admitted in the hospital as scheduled
that week; and when she regained consciousness, the

doctor, her son, and her best friend were standing by
her bedside. She inquired of the doctor the success of
the surgery, but he explained that while she was in the
operating room, he tried to begin the surgery twice, but
he could not.
The doctor (who was not a Christian) testified that he
had a very strange feeling come over him as he attempted
to begin the surgery, and then he decided to do another
MRI. While explaining this experience, the doctor mounted
the films of the MRI, which were taken while she was
anesthetized, and there were no fibroids present. Upon
hearing this miracle, this lady’s best friend fainted in the
hospital and required medical assistance.
This lady was a devout member of the Masonic Lodge
for more than 30 years. The night of the concert, God
performed a great miracle of healing. Not only did He
heal her, but He saved, sanctified, and filled her with His
Holy Spirit. This lady also testified that after spending
so many years in the Lodge, she has never felt such joy
and peace. “Accepting Jesus is the best thing I have ever
done,” she stated.
This lady’s son was a Rastafarian, who belonged to the
12 tribes of Israel. After he saw the powerful healing hand
of God on his mother, he decided to walk with the Lord.
He is now a Christian and a member of the Church.
That’s the power of the God we serve!
