The power of prayer knows no boundaries. It moves and it works wherever you are. Many incidents have proven this; one of them was the story of the two missionaries.

Two married missionaries were sleeping in a little hut in Africa. The wife awoke suddenly. She was very nervous and had a feeling that they were in danger so she awoke her husband and they talked in whisper.

Beside their bed, they saw a giant cobra, whose head was raised and ready to bite. The husband quickly gets the rifle and shot the cobra in its head.

During that time, a friend of the missionaries had a feeling that they were in great danger, so she began to pray for them.

“Later, when the missionaries told her of their frightful experience, she compared the date and time of the experiences. The peril of the missionaries and the burden to pray for them corresponded to the minute!”

Another story that proved that there is healing in the name of Jesus was the story of Robbie.

“In August of 2002, Robbie visited her 80-year-old aunt Laurine in Cleveland, Ohio. Her daughter Sophia accompanied her on the trip. It was to be a visit to be remembered on which God would show them His power by using a unique miracle to bring about Laurine's salvation.’

“Four months before their visit, Laurine had two strokes and was unable to speak. While visiting, Robbie and Sophia prayed for Laurine's healing. Afterwards, Sophia stepped out onto the porch while Robbie stayed by her aunt's side coaching her along in an effort to help her say ‘Jesus.’ After a few minutes, Robbie called her daughter back inside to help her.’

“Sophia began to pray for Laurine, asking the Lord to release her tongue to speak. Robbie states, ‘We were overjoyed when the Lord loosened her tongue!’ Sophia led Laurine in the sinner's prayer: ‘Father, in the name of Jesus, come into my heart, forgive me of my sins, cleanse me with your blood.’ Laurine repeated every word!’

“Robbie says that as far as she is aware, this is the last time that Laurine has spoken. It was truly a miracle of loosening her tongue to free her spirit. But that's not all. One of Laurine's daughters was present at the time and heard her mother pray the sinner's prayer. Robbie says, ‘It really made a believer out of her.’ Praise the Lord!”
