I must be dreaming! i must be dreaming! I MUST BE DREAMING!!!!! ~ Bro. Paul A. Allen is the son of the late great healing evangelist known world-wide as Gods man of faith and power: Rev. A. A. Allen. I had tried for several weeks to locate his book In The Shadow Of Greatness ~ Growing Up Allen. The only copy I could find on the internet was on Amazon and they were wanting 70 dollars for it and I could not pay that much for the single copy they had of the book. I wrote to different ministries but received no reply. It was just this week that our Facebook friend, Bro. Buford Dowell, informed me that he had worked for eight seasons with Rev. Allen so many years ago and mentioned that Rev. Allens son, Paul, was on Facebook! The LORD let me locate him right away and I messaged him immediately. I told him of my quest for his book and I also told him of my hearts desire to find a prayer cloth that had been prayed over for the sick by his Dad. Today, I received from him his book: In The Shadow Of Greatness ~ Growing Up Allen! He had signed it to Stephen and me! What an honor! What an honor! What an honor!!! In another envelope that arrived today was a certificate of authenticity with Rev. A. A. Allens photo on it and attached was a piece of the last canvas tent that Rev. A. A. Allen owned! Surely I must be dreaming this! Rev. A. A. Allen had prayed over it so many years ago for the sick and oppressed! Thousands of miracles from God were witnessed under that tent as Rev. A. A. Allen would pray the prayer of faith for the sick and LORD Jesus healed them. Many of his services were televised and shown on television in the 1950s and 1960s and can still be viewed on Youtube and other video sites. I have been watching them faithfully for weeks and weeks as God has led me to do so. The miracles in Rev. Allens services were viewed around the world. Wondrous miracles did The LORD Jesus Christ do for His glory! People traveled from across the globe to attend his services because they needed healing and deliverance and knew that Rev. Allen could pray the needed prayer of faith for them. The prayer cloth that was brought to us personally by Bro. Jimmy Vickers and Bro. Tim Blomberg on Thursday evening was a piece of that tent! It is still hard for me to grasp that these two men of God who had personally known Rev. A. A. Allen flew from North Carolina to Memphis to pray for Stephen with the prayer cloth in hand. They did not even know us. They came as a result of Gods directing them to do so. I cannot thank Bro. Jimmy and Bro Tim enough! I also cannot thank Pastor Tom Elkins enough for rearranging appointments to be with all of us on Thursday night as he was praying fire down from heaven for Stephens total healing and total restoration. Then there was Bro. Billy Shankle who traveled approximately 70 miles to be with all of us! How very thankful I am to him, too. Bro. Billy had been part of the late Rev. R W Shambachs ministry and Bro. Tim invited him to be with us and I am so very thankful that he did. The prayer cloth that Rev. Allen had prayed over was anointed with oil that Rev. Shambach had prayed over many years ago. ONLY The LORD knew how I had desired so very much with my heart to have a prayer cloth that Rev. Allen had prayed over for the sick so many years ago. I had told Stephen of my desire but he would have no way of knowing how my heart ached for this. ONLY JESUS knew! I wanted it for my husband as he lay dying with satans cancer. I cannot wait to read this book written by Bro. Paul! To read what it was like to be Rev. Allens son and to see the multitude of healings and deliverances that God did through his Dad is going to be a treasure. The gift of this prayer cloth from Bro. Paul means the world to me! Oh, how very thankful I am to him for this! So very thankful! It is interesting that I had a dream just last week wherein all that I saw in the dream were three handkerchiefs. The handkerchiefs were very neatly folded and had lace on the edges. I now truly believe that these handkerchiefs were three prayer cloths that Stephen and I were going to receive from God. The third prayer cloth that is en route to us is one that has been anointed and prayed over by Pastor Kimberly Dube from Zimbabwe, Africa. He is a powerful, humble, and faith-filled man of God that LORD Jesus gave to us to have and love seven years ago. He has fasted and prayed for Stephen during all of these years for his total healing and total restoration. Going alone to the bush country to be alone with God to seek for Stephens total healing. I had asked for for a prayer cloth from him last week or the week before without ever realizing that two prayer cloths prayed over by Rev. Allen would be given to us this week! ~ And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick HANDKERCHIEFS or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. (Acts 19:11-12) As I ponder all that I have personally witnessed in this week, I am left in total awe and wonder. Speechless. The events have left me this way. The power of God falling on Thursday night as the four mighty men of God prayed over Stephen has left me this way. The fact that God would hear my hearts cry and answer it has left me this way. I know that Stephen is going to be healed. I KNOW it. The Word says plainly: And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEAR US, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRED OF HIM. (1 John 5:14-15) ~ God has indeed let me know that He has heard me. A little dot that is about as insignificant as a single grain of sand on a beach am I, yet Jesus has heard me! He has also heard my precious husbands cries for healing! Oh, Glory to God! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Thank You, LORD! I cannot even speak my words of thankfulness to You, LORD Jesus, for there are no words here on this earth to express it but You know my heart and can hear its joy unspeakable. Thank You, Father! I love You!
