This is a bit weird

I'm a Christian (obviously) but my faith is riddled with doubt and uncertainty, and when I see those so-called 'healings' at certain Pentecostal churches, I shake my head and feel shame and embarrassment for all concerned.

However...

For ten days or so my left arm had been aching. It was a constant ache and the only respite was in sleep. I tried three different kinds of pain-killing tablets but none of them worked. I was at my wits' end.

This morning in desperation I cried out, 'God, please take this pain away from me!' An hour later the pain had vanished. I was in shock. Did God actually hear my cry and take action? Or was the pain due to end anyway of its own accord? I really don't know what to think!
I can’t speak for everyone, but the laying on of hands and miracle healing is a real gift. I’ve seen laying on of hands work to varying degrees, but it isn’t always 100% effective or instantly like how it always seemed to be in the Bible.

Your testimony is a miracle healing in my belief. Of course we can appeal directly to God. Glory to God.

One time I visited Happy Church in Denver and tried to teach me to speak in tongues. One guy said, they are speaking Hebrew. I said, I know Hebrew and no one spoke in Hebrew. I no longer speak Hebrew today. But, I know it when I hear it. In no Charismatic or Pentecostal tape, I have never heard Hebrew.
