José's Miracle

For years José sold tacos from a little cart near the

bridge in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. But he had a sickness in his lungs and had to use oxygen. He continued to get worse and for the last two years he was attached to an oxygen tank twenty four hours a day. He could only walk a few steps without running out of breath. He was pale and sick, couldn’t sleep at night and even the smallest sounds of children playing tormented him.

Two weeks ago someone invited José and his wife to church in Nuevo Progreso. Pastor Gerardo prayed for him, and José accepted Jesus into his heart. Within twenty four hours José realized he no longer needed the oxygen and he began to walk back and forth in his yard, finally free of the four foot tank in his living room. His wife Guadalupe was concerned, but José told her God had healed him.

José's sons have been coming to see what happened to him, hardly able to believe how he looks and acts. All the neighbors are coming to his house to see the miracle!

Pastor Gerardo took us to visit José and we found him sitting outside in the shade, an open Bible and his glasses on a chair where he had been reading. Guadalupe confirmed that there have been big changes in her husband since he was prayed for at the church. She told us that his illness had caused a lot of stress in their family, but now everything is peaceful and she’s very happy. We asked José’s permission to take his picture and tell about his experience. He said he wants everyone to know what has happened.

We had a time of prayer together, thanking the Lord for His goodness for not only saving José, but healing him. And José continues to say, "Esta un milagro!" (It’s a miracle!)
