In 2003 I went to a meeting organised by a well known evangelist/"healer." At the time I had only been saved around a year and didn't really know what to expect. As a former Catholic such meetings were alien to me. (Although Rome does have some charismatic priests/"healers," I had never met any.) Upon arrival there was a good 100 strong crowd present. The usual trestle tables were erected, selling books, tracts and videos.

We took our seats, sung a couple of good hymns, with a very good one called Have You Meet The Man From Galilee, although the key was too high for me. Before the main speaker of the evening was introduced, one of his colleagues, an elderly gentleman begun by telling us how his mother in law, (80+ and after 50 years of prayer) had finally received Jesus as her own Saviour. Naturally we applauded this unusual and happy ending to what must have felt like a lifetime of prayer finally being answered.

As people were still clapping the elderly man in the pulpit began speaking in some strange "language." At the time I remember thinking how he might have been speaking in Hebrew. Of course later on I deciphered that he had in fact been "speaking in tongues," and like all the others there who did likewise, no interpreter was on hand to interpret; so with unsaved people present, this group had already violated two areas of Scripture, when dealing with the subject of speaking in tongues in a local meeting (1 Cor. 14.)

Throughout this evening I witnessed people rolling around on the floor, repeat "healings," one woman crying as someone tried to "exorcise her demon," another lady being "healed" of some illness, to later being found outside the building chewing gum with another "healed" victim puffing away on her cigarette. One lady told us how she'd been finally "healed" after visiting this "healer" for 20 years of arachnophobia.

I came away with mixed feelings about what I'd seen.
