Waking up to a Mircale


OK, so if you follow anyone in the Jesus Army on Facebook or Twitter you would have probably heard already that a Miracle occurred during the night on Sunday.

A 19 year old lad part of a  Christian Community, the Jesus Fellowship, was recently was diagnosed Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy. This caused blindness in first the one eye but shortly followed by the second eye. So at 19 years old this lad is now practically blind in both eyes (He can only see blobs of colour, however any light was causing severe pain and migraines). He was told by medical experts this was a permanent with no known cure.

As a church we rallied together and prayed for Tom to be healed, although we didn't stop praying my faith in healing was starting to dimmer.


He was getting on with is life, he wasn't into sitting and doing nothing, Tom was inspired by a friend to go to the gym to keep fit and then made a choice to raise money for charity by completing a triathlon. That's right Tom has just been classified blind and was now  going to to swim 3.8km, cycle 40km and finishing by running 10km. 

So Monday morning I was late getting up again, and woken up with some one bouncing in to my room Tom can see!

"You what" was my response
My friend repeated "Tom can see, blind Tom isn't blind" 

Instantly bouncing out of bed, full of excitement. 


As I made the journey to farm where Tom lives, I was trying gather together what I was witnessing. I spoke to Tom the night before, he was most certainly blind, and now he ain't. WOW! 


The night before Tom recommitted his life back to Jesus and moved in forgiveness. And during the night God heals him. So man recommits is live to God, and God blesses him by healing him from blindness. 

The news spread fast around the church that Tom is healed. 


The best comment of the day was from a 8 year old boy when told Tom is healed and can now see was....

"I'm not surprised we've prayed loads haven't we"


That is childlike faith, simple knowing and trusting God will heal in his time.
