On one night of the meeting, after praying for the sick for nearly two hours, T. L. Osborn slipped out the back door, jumped over the wall, and started to his car. Someone grabbed him desperately. It was an elderly woman.
“Oh, please,” she begged, “I am totally blind. I cannot even see the light. If you will touch my eyes, I will be healed. I know God will heal me.”
In the dark, T. L. laid his hands on her eyes and said, “Woman, in the name of Jesus Christ whom God raised from the dead, I command your blind eyes to be opened. Receive your sight.”
The woman nearly pushed T. L.’s hands from her eyes as she began to look up. Suddenly she exclaimed, “Oh, thank God! Yes, I can see everything–the moon, the stars, my hands. Oh, thank God. I knew He would do it.”
The Osborns saw more fruit from their labors in a single night in Jamaica than they had seen in the seven years of their ministry before the Lord appeared to them. And it was the miracles that made the difference! T. L. and Daisy stood firm on the importance of miracles and for their need today. T. L. shared, “People who are being born today need miracles. They need to see Jesus the same as people who were born in Bible days. The Church was established for the people then, but God re-establishes Himself for every new generation. He is as real today as He ever was, and He wants to prove it. That is why the theme of our crusades around the world has always been Jesus Christ the Same Yesterday and Today and Forever. (Hebrews 13:8.)
