Healed of blindness

By Margaret Cisneros

On February 24, 2004, I suddenly lost the sight in my left eye. The ophthalmologist said I had suffered a mini-stroke affecting the retina and that I would never regain sight in my eye.

I often visit my daughter in Albuquerque and attend Trinity Family Church (AG) when there. During a visit, Pastor J.M. and Jeannette Barnard came to pray for me at my daughter’s house. I was very thankful.

Several months went by and I continued to believe for God’s healing touch. On Sunday, August 15, I was again visiting my daughter and Pastor Barnard called me forward for prayer. I was anointed with oil. I knew the Lord was doing something.

On Tuesday, I went to be checked by the ophthalmologist. She could not believe I could see out of my left eye. As she did different tests, she kept asking what I had been doing different. She said it was impossible for me to be able to see with that eye.

I told the doctor I had been praying and that God had answered my prayer. She took a picture of my eye and saved it on her computer because she said no one would believe her.

I thank God for healing me. But I also thank the many people who prayed for me at home and at Trinity Family Church, my church away from home.
