My Thoughts on I Witnessed Miracles
I Witnessed Miracles is full of stories that are going to make you face the healing power of God. He really can heal anyone He wants to and might even use you as the instrument. The author is a medical professional who has seen and experienced these things and decided to share them with others.
This book is written in a conversational style so you won’t be off-put by too much information but rather feel like you’re having a chat over coffee. It’s not going to make you weep at the prose though just reading the stories can move you to tears as you witness healing but also those who were not healed.
I did enjoy this book but I don’t think it’s one that I would keep on the shelf and read over and over. This would be a good book to have on the shelf to help others to see the healing power of God with.

About the Author of I Witnessed Miracles
Read an Excerpt
“Faith was a single mother in her late twenties. Very pretty. Upbeat personality. She was well-liked by most people. Faith was also a devout Christian. She shared her faith constantly like seeds in the wind. She worked in an office in the building where I leased space.
It was late in 2005 that Faith developed a physical problem in her mouth. Her dentist removed the right upper wisdom tooth, but the wound did not heal. She had been seeing the dentist for weeks. He would debride the wound and cover it. Then she would go back for more debriding. The painful, dime-sized wound refused to heal. After six weeks of conservative care, her dentist told her the hole would not close on its own. She would need surgery, so he made the referral.
This was the day she told me about the problem. She was visiting in our office just at closing. She pulled out a pocket flashlight and showed me her gum. What I saw was a lesion about the size of a dime and deep. I could see white uncovered bone, but the wound was clean. There was no dead or infected tissue. I didn’t know why with the care she was getting the wound had not healed.
In a purely social way, I told her that I hoped all would go well with her and proceeded to exit the building. It was already getting dark. The winter sun went down early. That day had been a particularly long one. I was tired. My coat was on my body, my purse on my shoulder, and my briefcase in my hand. I was done. I pushed open the heavy glass door and walked toward my car. Next stop, home. No sooner did I get outside the building than I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak to my heart: “Are you my servant or aren’t you?”
I was so tired. And I didn’t want to go back into the building. I wanted to go home. I had a short discussion with myself, turned around, and went back to find Faith. Fortunately, she was right where I had left her. She had found someone else to talk to. I asked her if she would be offended if I said a brief prayer for her and applied the oil. “No, that would be wonderful,” she said.
I returned to my office, retrieved a drop of oil that had been blessed, and placed it on her face near the wound inside her mouth. Then, I put my hand on her shoulder and prayed a very short but sincere prayer in the name of Jesus. I still had my coat on, so I shouldered my bag, picked up my briefcase, and left.
I was interrupted in my morning schedule by my office manager. She told me Faith had been healed. My whole office was excited. Faith was jumping up and down. The hole in her gum was gone. She was still carrying her flashlight, so I could see where it had been. There was nothing in her mouth but clean, well-healed skin. It couldn’t have healed like that overnight. Faith’s dentist didn’t believe it either, so she took the time that day to show him. He, too, was amazed.
There is no medical explanation. I give the glory to the Lord Jesus, our Savior.”
Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
