Jonathan & Sharon

Jonathan and Sharon praise the Lord for a large-scale prayer and worship movement that had believers meeting weekly for 12 continuous hours of prayer, with miraculous results. One pastor received a vision of Jesus while in a 20-day coma. The doctors had given up hope, but in his vision, the Lord breathed into his nostrils, and the next day he opened his eyes. Another pastor despaired after praying for healing for his brother, who then died. However, days later another pastor asked him to pray for his mother, who was in another location. At that very moment she got up, began to walk, and was healed.
