"GOLD TEETH!"
(Official Statement of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, March 17, 1999)
Why would God fill people's teeth with gold? Perhaps because He loves them and delights in blessing His children. Perhaps it is sign and a wonder to expose the skepticism still in so many of us. Perhaps His glory and presence are drawing very near.
On Wednesday evening March 3rd, 1999 miracles began happening in people’s teeth. By Thursday evening, over 50 people were on the platform at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship testifying to having received what appeared to be gold or bright silver fillings or crowns, which they believed had supernaturally appeared in their mouths after receiving prayer during the Intercession Conference. Many received one, two, three or more, and in some cases up to ten changed fillings! On the Saturday night of the conference, there were 198 on the platform saying that God had given them a dental miracle. By Sunday night, well over 300 people were testifying to this unusual sign. Testimonies, even now, are continuing to pour in.
Our leadership have encouraged
people to verify these miracles with their dentists, who in some cases,
have been
understandably hesitant to explain
why their patients’ fillings have become so shiny and have changed in colour
from dark amalgam to bright silver or gold. In a few cases, dentists were
able to show from their records that the gold was put in their mouths previously
by the dentist and not by God. These people had apparently forgotten that
this work had been done. The majority of these incidents however, seem
to be beyond explaining, other than that God has given these wonderful
gifts.
After the conference, delegates returned home and dental miracles surprisingly began to happen to some of their friends and family members. Some are testifying that these miracles happened while watching conference sessions on video tape. Reports of people’s fillings turning a bright silver or gold color are coming in from South Africa, Australia, England, Mexico and across Canada and the USA. The excitement here at TACF is electric with the news of how these dental miracles are so rapidly spreading.
TACF is encouraging people to
obtain dental confirmations. We will do a follow-up report in the near
future and publish our findings. Meanwhile dental miracles, along with
many other healings, continue to take place at the nightly meetings. Things
that we have seen happening in Argentina and Brazil for fifteen years are
starting to happen here now. Conversions to Christ have also increased!
While we are thankful for the miracles and healings that are taking place,
our eyes are on Jesus and it is Him alone we look to and worship.
"Gold Teeth Make Their Mark in Toronto"
by Melinda Fish ("Spread the Fire" [published by the Toronto Airport Christian
fellowship], n. 2/1999)
On Wednesday evening, March 3, during TACF’s Intercession Conference, a new dimension of the Holy Spirit’s presence fell, this time in healing power and signs and wonders. Two women from Capetown, South Africa testified before the nearly 4,000 conference attendees that their father had received a gold filling while watching a video of John and Carol Arnott’s meeting at the Hatfield Christian Church in Pretoria, South Africa in February, where several people had reported receiving gold fillings.
After their testimonies, John
Arnott asked everyone who needed healing or a touch from God on their mouths,
necks, jaws, teeth or gums or who wanted to ask God to supernaturally fill
their teeth to stand. Almost everyone stood to their feet and prayed. Within
moments approximately twenty people began to stream to the altar reporting
that gold teeth had miraculously appeared in their mouths immediately after
prayer. As the service continued the number of those receiving miraculous
touches in their mouths began to increase dramatically. Some attendees
were testifying to the color of their amalgam fillings changing to gold.
By the next day, the air of expectancy in the conference began to escalate
dramatically. By the Friday evening service, over 100 people gathered in
the cafeteria adjoining the sanctuary to fill out testimony forms answering
specific questions about the miraculous changes taking place in their mouths.
As the conference attendees, including a professional dental hygienist
from Germany, shone penlights on each others teeth, many reported observing
changes in the metallic composition of the fillings
taking place before their eyes.
The room was filled with people in awe. Some were shouting and gasping
and others were falling under the power.
By Saturday night, 198 people
stood in front of the platform testifying to miraculous changes taking
place in their mouths. Many of them reported the sudden appearance of gold
overlaying teeth formerly covered by amalgam fillings and white porcelain
caps. Others reported gradual changes occurring in the color of their fillings
and healings of diseases of the mouth. In several mouths, gold work obviously
done by dentists was juxtaposed beside brand new, shiny teeth completely
overlaid with gold entirely different in appearance to the man-made dental
work. The supernaturally overlaid teeth appeared as though they had been
freshly painted with pure gold leaf. Incredibly, the sides of some of the
gold teeth even appeared to be etched with designs, one with a lily and
several with crosses. One woman who had suffered for years with swollen
gums as a result of gingivitis reported that her gums had returned to normal
and that by Saturday only a tiny red spot remained in the roof of her mouth.
On Sunday evening more people
testified to receiving gold fillings in place of amalgam. One woman from
Idaho testified that she asked God to put a sign in her mouth as He was
doing for others. He gave her the scripture, Psalm 34, "His praise shall
continually be in my mouth." As John Arnott laid hands on her mouth after
the Sunday morning service, her previously gray amalgam fillings began
to change appearance. All who looked in her mouth saw the fillings change
to delicate, yellow florentine gold.
Pictures of the gold teeth may be accessed at Toronto’s web site address, <www.tacf.org>. As individuals downloaded these pictures, and all over the world people showed them to others, the same miracle began to break out in other locations. Calls were coming in from England as well as cities in the US and Canada reporting the supernatural appearance of new gold teeth and fillings. The supernatural appearance of the gold teeth in people’s mouths has been widely reported for several years in Argentinean revival meetings. In fact, their appearance has become so commonplace that some evangelists there refuse to allow testimony of those receiving fewer than three in one meeting. All those who came to the altar were exhorted to go home and make appointments with their dentists to verify the changes and validate the miracles taking place. In our next issue, we will report further on the results of these miracles and their professional confirmations.
In the meantime, other healings began to break out as the faith level at the conference rose. One woman threw her back brace across the platform and began to bend over, touch her toes and run across the stage screaming, "I don’t need this anymore; I’m healed." Another wheelchair-bound faithful member of TACF reported being able to touch his toes for the first time in his life. On Sunday morning Paul and Elaine Morris of Cincinnati, Ohio testified holding their two-year-old daughter Rebekah. In September the Morrises had brought their daughter to TACF to receive prayer. Rebekah had been diagnosed at age 12 months with Hepatitis C, an incurable liver disease. Her mother reported that she had passed the disease on to her daughter during pregnancy. After Rebekah received prayer, the Morrises returned home to Cincinnati. On October 26, 1998, they went back to the doctor to receive the results of tests taken on Rebekah after their trip to TACF. The doctor reported that there was no longer any trace of the Hepatitis C virus in her bloodstream and that she was completely healed. Paul Morris, Rebekah’s father, tearfully thanked the Lord Jesus Christ publicly. Elaine Morris, Rebekah’s mother, still suffers from the illness but received prayer on Sunday. "When we were here the first time, there was no way I could ever ask for healing for myself," she said. "I just needed Rebekah to be healed so much that my healing wasn’t even an issue."
The outbreak of new signs and
healing miracles gave rise to speculation that a fresh outpouring of the
Holy Spirit has begun, and that the River has risen to a new level. Prophetic
voices at the conference and throughout the US and Canada were phoning
in interpretations to the events. "It’s a sign that a new filling has begun,"
some said. Others quoted the scripture, "Open your mouth wide, and I will
fill it." Still others remembered, "Buy of me gold, refined in the fire…"
Sue Mitchell, one of the conference speakers, interpreted the appearance
of gold in the mouths of believers as a sign of the gospel being preached
and the end-time harvest beginning. All of these are undoubtedly true.
But John Arnott’s characteristically gracious interpretation may be the
most accurate. "I just believe God loves people and wants to bless them."
"WHAT ABOUT THE GOLD TEETH?"
by Connie Janzen and Melinda Fish ("Spread the Fire", n. 3/1999)
Since the Intercession Conference, March 3-6,1999, where nearly 150 people reported receiving gold fillings or other miraculous changes in their mouths, TACF has contacted all those we could find who had completed pink testimony forms. In addition we were in contact with numerous individuals and churches through email. Here’s what we found. About one-third of the people we contacted by phone actually went to see their dentist; the rest encountered difficulties such as their dentist had moved away, their records could not be found, they were waiting for an appointment or they simply did not get back to us.
These were the responses from the dentists who were sought for confirmation: Some dentists were unwilling to comment or responded by saying that their patients’ teeth just looked polished by grinding of teeth or eating something acidic, or they asked if the patient had been elsewhere. Others found that they already had their gold fillings put in previously by the dentist and had forgotten about it or were not aware of the work that had been done in their mouths. About 5% found that their dental records conflicted with what appeared in their mouths, but the dentist was skeptical or fearful and simply said that an error must have been made on the records or that the records were too old to be accurate. About 5% of the dentists were surprised at the changes in their patients’ teeth and were willing to say that a miracle seemed to have occurred. Of this five percent about 1-2% were willing to verify by writing a letter of support for their patient.
Here’s one letter we received.
"Today my dentist examined my gold fillings I received during the Intercession
Conference… This exam was to have this miracle confirmed medically, and
it was! My dentist was so astounded by this miracle… He said, "I’ve never
seen anything like this in my life." I asked him for his opinion and he
said, "It is my opinion that this is a miracle."
Paulette - Ypsilanti, Michigan
In other cases, people checked their dental records and insurance forms and found that what was in their mouths reflected a change; however, they didn’t request the dentist’s written confirmation. The conflict in the record was enough evidence to satisfy them that a miracle had taken place as in the case below.
"Our pastor looked in the mirror
and noticed that his white crown had turned to solid bright GOLD! He called
his dentist to verify that it had been porcelain and the records proved
it. He now has a 100% gold tooth!"
James - Fort Worth, Texas
We appreciate the integrity of everyone who reported findings. We also noticed that after every avenue of confirmation was examined in those cases where dentists confirmed the changes, there was still the need to take that last leap of faith to believe that God had performed a sign and wonder and that no other dentist had been consulted. While we need to "provide things honest in the sight of all men" (Romans 12:17) and seek verification, in the end, we discovered that there is still no substitute for childlike faith.
(If you have obtained a written
confirmation from your dentist that a sign or healing has been performed
in your mouth, please contact TACF at (416) 674-8463.)
"God 'gives' gold teeth to believers"
by Ruth Gledhill ("The Times", April 17, 1999)
God is filling worshippers' teeth
with gold fillings and producing gold dust on their hands and faces, according
to the latest "miracle" craze to sweep England's charismatic evangelical
churches. In the new phenomenon, emanating from Canada and California,
gold fillings are said to replace amalgam fillings in worshippers' mouths
during prayer.
The latest Christian "miracles"
are said to be a fulfilment of the prophecy in Psalm 81.10: "Open thy mouth
wide and I will fill it."
The miracles are reported on the British Christian website Ship of Fools, an on-line magazine which keeps track of happenings in church life. The gold fillings are said to be the latest manifestation of the "Toronto Blessing", the charismatic phenomenon which led to worshippers falling down, laughing and barking like dogs in churches up and down the land in 1995. The miracles began in March at a meeting of evangelical church leaders, where more than 300 people were said to have received gold fillings in their mouth. Churches in Wimbledon, Bath and Croydon are among those said to be affected. One church which has been affected is Croydon's Folly's End Christian Fellowship, an independent evangelical church of about 300 worshippers.
Jenny Taylor, administrator of the Fellowship, said: "I have had gold dust appear on my hands and chest and around my eyes, although I have not had gold teeth. "A woman who went to a church in Bath showed me her teeth and she had six gold fillings which she said had previously been amalgam. She is going to go to her dentist to verify it."
The Toronto Airport church insists
the miracles are true. In a statement on their Web page, accompanied by
photographs of the miracle fillings, the church says: "On Wednesday evening
March 3, 1999, miracles began happening in people's teeth. By Thursday
evening, over 50 people were on the platform at Toronto Airport Christian
Fellowship testifying to having received what appeared to be gold or bright
silver fillings or crowns, which they believed had supernaturally appeared
in their mouths after receiving prayer. "In a few cases, dentists were
able to show from their records that the gold was put in their mouths previously
by the dentist and not by God. These people had apparently forgotten that
this work had been done. The majority of these incidents, however,
seem to be beyond explaining,
other than that God has given these wonderful gifts."
"When The Glory Comes Down"
by Elizabeth Moll Stalcup ("Charisma Magazine", November 1999)
When I pulled into the wooded parking lot next to Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle in Ashland, Virginia, I could hear lively praise music coming from the meeting house--a wooden structure that seats more than 1,500 people. Although it was a sweltering summer night--with no air conditioning in the place--people were singing, clapping their hands and even dancing in the aisles.
I grabbed my seat in the second row and looked around to find Ruth Heflin, a 61-year-old Pentecostal minister whose family has preached at this camp meeting for 45 years. I scrutinized her, searching for any trace of the supernatural gold dust she says has been falling on people for months in these meetings.
Despite the heat, Heflin was wearing a long-sleeved black dress. I watched her closely as she worshiped, and I saw no metallic gleam anywhere. But as the service progressed, tiny specks of gold began to appear, first on her face and then on her clothes. I remembered what she had told me about the gold dust when we talked on the phone the day before: "It falls like rain, or it just suddenly appears."
I searched the air over Heflin's head. With its high ceiling and theater-style seats, the tabernacle was open on all sides to the surrounding woods. Occasionally I thought I saw something floating in the air, but each time it turned out to be a buzzing insect drawn to the bright lights. As I watched, more gold appeared on Heflin and on some of the women in the music team. I was skeptical. After all, I had worked as a geologist for the federal government for 17 years. My scientific training told me this was impossible. "Lord," I prayed silently, "If this is of You, I want to know."
A few minutes later I saw flecks of gold on the face of a teen-age girl a few seats away. Later, I spotted two tiny bits of gold on my wrist. Baffled, I held my wrist up to the light and twisted my hand back and forth so I could see the gold as it sparkled. This was hard to believe. Was God really manifesting the glory of His presence in a tangible way?
Sparkles From Heaven?
For about six months, Charisma's offices have been flooded by fax and e-mail reports of gold dust falling on people during worship, as well as accounts of believers receiving supernatural dental healings. Silver amalgam fillings or crowns have turned to gold or platinum, or even to white enamel. In other cases people claim their dark amalgam fillings have miraculously turned to shiny silver. Others claim they received new fillings or crowns that appeared in their mouths where they had had no previous dental work. And some say whole teeth have turned to gold.
According to church growth expert C. Peter Wagner, miracles like these are not new. In Argentina's revival in the mid-1970s, teeth were mostly being filled "with a hard, white substance that dentists could not identify," Wagner recalls. Wagner and his wife, Doris, first heard of the dental miracles in the early 1980s when they encountered the ministry of Omar Cabrera. "Today," Wagner says, "there is hardly a church that I have been to in Argentina where numbers of people haven't had supernatural dental work."
In services conducted by Argentine
evangelist Carlos Annacondia, Wagner adds, "People can only give a public
testimony if they've had three or more teeth filled. If they've just had
two teeth filled, that is considered normal."
The dental miracles spread to
Brazil in the early 1990s, where the first reports of gold dust also originated.
Although there have been isolated reports of gold fillings in North America
even in the late 1800s, the phenomenon only became widespread in 1999.
Heflin says she saw gold dust
for the first time in February 1998, after some of her associates visited
Brazil. The daughter of Pentecostal pioneers, Heflin says she never doubted
that the gold was a miracle from God. Within a few days of hearing the
reports, people began to see flecks of gold on Heflin's face when she preached.
By April 1998, Heflin began seeing gold on the faces of others. Once, a
gold nugget the size of a dime fell out of a woman's
dress during a women's convention
where Heflin preached. At the same conference, tiny flecks of gold appeared
on the face of a guest speaker. It seemed the more Heflin talked about
the phenomenon, the more it occurred.
Because so many pastors were uncomfortable
with the idea of God putting gold dust on people's skin, when Heflin traveled
she was careful how she reported it. She often kept quiet if the pastor
asked her not to mention the gold. But she still saw gold dust appear on
faces in the congregation, even when no one had said a word about it.
Pastors admonished Heflin to
"focus on the Giver and not the gift," she says. But finally she decided
that to stop talking about it would dishonor God--because she believes
it is a sign of His glory. "The Lord loves for us to show off the gold
dust because of His relationship with us. We couldn't do this ourselves.
He is doing it because His coming is so near," Heflin says.
Whenever Heflin talks about the
gold dust, it falls on someone nearby. In November 1998, pastor Bob Shattles
of Friendship Baptist Church in Austell, Georgia, asked Heflin to minister
to his congregation. When she prayed for him, he felt overcome by the Holy
Spirit's power and saw an extended vision. The next morning, Shattles says,
oil began flowing from his hands, and by the evening service gold dust
appeared on his neck and face. He says he received an unusual anointing
for evangelism that day--and he now claims that he has led more than 2,000
people to Christ since the encounter.
Heflin finally decided she wouldn't minister in a place where she is not
allowed to talk about the gold. "I had a major speaking invitation canceled
because of it--but I never felt bad because when you've got the gold dust,
you don't care," she says. "It is like a sovereign sign from heaven that
is so glorious that you don't care about the approval of people because
you know you have God's approval, and that is all that matters."
By the end of last year Heflin had gold dust on her face almost every time she preached. Soon she was not alone. In March, during a conference at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF), almost 700 people claimed they received gold or silver fillings. The church put the story in their newsletter and posted it on their Web site, and almost simultaneously reports of gold manifestations began occurring in Oklahoma, California, Florida, Montana, Tennessee, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio and outside the United States.
A Contagious Phenomenon
Everywhere that Heflin or Shattles preached, gold miracles were reported. The phenomenon spread from Toronto, too, as well as from South Africa where it had actually occurred a few months earlier. "It is highly contagious," says Marc Dupont of Fort Wayne (Indiana) Vineyard Christian Fellowship.
After the conference in Toronto, TACF pastor John Arnott excitedly called Ché Ahn, pastor of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, California, to tell him about the miracles. Although it was 11:30 at night in California, Ahn asked Arnott to pray for him over the phone when he heard about the gold fillings. The next morning, Ahn noticed that all his dark gray amalgam fillings had turned to shiny silver. "They were bright," Ahn says. "I just said, 'Wow.' It gave me enough faith that God was up to something." Ahn already was scheduled to speak at churches in Oklahoma and Tennessee that week, so he shared the story of the gold miracles in both places. People received gold crowns and fillings at each location, and the miracles were repeated at his home church in Pasadena and at a church in Pennsylvania when he visited there the next week. Since then Ahn has seen the miracle duplicated in Indonesia, the Philippines and Hong Kong.
But what does it mean? Why would
God put gold in people's mouths and sprinkle gold dust on church audiences?
Everyone involved in this unusual movement has a different opinion: Some
say it is a signal that Jesus is coming soon or that revival is near or
that God is simply displaying His extravagant love. "I believe this is
a sign to make people wonder," says Trevor Pearce of St. Martin's Episcopal
Church in Bergvliet, South Africa. Using his distinctive Anglican terminology,
he says the gold is "an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual
grace." He advises his parishioners
not to pass the sign or stop at it, but to "follow the sign to God and
hear what He is saying." Ahn agrees, noting that God always uses signs
and wonders to attract the curious. Recently, a man who visited Ahn's church
told God he would become a Christian if he received a gold tooth. Says
Ahn: "He didn't get a gold tooth, but he came expecting it. He heard the
gospel and came under conviction, and he gave his life to Jesus later that
week."
Wagner notes that dental miracles seem to attract even more attention than healings from diseases such as cancer. "Perhaps because it is something you can measure, something that dentists can confirm," he says. "Not that you can't confirm other healings, but somehow this seems to be more spectacular."
The skeptics are receiving gold
teeth, too. In Ahn's church, someone brought a non-Christian friend to
her college fellowship meeting. "She received a gold filling, and it freaked
her out," Ahn says. Joel Budd, pastor of Open Bible Fellowship in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, says a 14-year-old boy came to his church after telling his parents
that he could get his teeth fixed at Open Bible. His father scoffed at
him, but the boy countered by making a deal with his dad: "If God heals
my mouth, you have to stop drinking and start attending church too," he
told him. The father reluctantly
agreed. "The boy was a brand
new Christian from a rough family," Budd says. "Yet he received two gold
teeth." The father was reportedly astonished.
Last spring, Dupont prayed for a man in El Cajon, California, who was scheduled to have surgery to correct serious dental problems caused by an automobile accident. The young Baptist testified in front of hundreds of people: "The pain is all gone, my teeth are right, and I didn't even believe God did these things 10 minutes ago."
Hype and Counterfeits
Although the praise reports are exciting, those who are involved in this new movement admit there is a downside to it, too. Some people get caught up in the sensationalism of the supernatural, just to enjoy a ride on the next charismatic bandwagon.
Others may be faking the phenomenon. "A lot of people are thinking that their fillings are turning gold when they're not," warns Wagner. "My dentist in Colorado Springs had a woman come to him thinking that her silver fillings had turned to gold, but he said they weren't gold. In fact, the cavities that she had in her mouth were still there."
She is not alone. After hundreds
of people reportedly received gold crowns or fillings in Toronto, the staff
at TACF tried to verify as many of the dental miracles as possible. They
found that in half of the cases, people's amalgam fillings had become shiny--"But
they weren't gold," Arnott says. About 25 percent of the cases were a mistake.
People who thought they received a miracle learned later that their dentists
had put gold crowns in their mouths and they had forgotten. The other 25
percent were verifiably gold. "So 25 percent of them were not miraculous
as testified or claimed, but that means that in 75 percent of the cases
something supernatural had happened," Arnott says. In some unusual cases,
entire crowns made of porcelain and metal turned to gold, with "fairly
good evidence from dental records, lab reports, plus personal testimony
that they weren't there before," the pastor
noted.
Others also have seen entire teeth turn to gold. Last spring, after Marc Dupont prayed for pastor Rich Oliver of Family Christian Center in Sacramento, California, Oliver got a huge gold tooth. "There is absolutely no white showing," Dupont says. Oliver's current dentist and his previous one confirmed that he never had any gold teeth before. No one knows what is happening when people's amalgam fillings become shiny, but Arnott speculates that God may be removing mercury in the fillings. A friend of Arnott's who owns a dental lab recently told him that amalgam, which is a mixture of silver and mercury, is tricky to mix. "If there is too much mercury in it, it bleeds out," Arnott says. Mercury is toxic, so surplus mercury can be harmful to the body. "I could see where God would take [mercury] out of a person's mouth--to heal them of mercury poisoning," Arnott adds.
Wagner, who says he has no problem believing that God is performing these miracles, notes that they should catch the attention of the secular world. "Alchemists have been trying to turn other elements into gold for a millennia," he says. "They haven't been successful, but God has."
To keep the focus on Jesus and not on the sensation, Dupont says he never prays specifically for people to receive gold fillings or gold teeth. "I pray for God to heal their mouth, teeth and gums," he says. "I don't pray for manifestations, but when they take place they are signs and wonders."
To complicate matters, there have been questions raised about people fabricating the gold dust phenomenon by sprinkling glitter on themselves. One Brazilian minister, Silvania Machado, insists she does not fake the manifestation even though two independent tests showed the substance that fell from her head was some kind of plastic film.
In most cases where the gold dust has appeared recently in the United States, no one has tested the substance, and some pastors said they wouldn't feel right about testing it anyway because they saw the flecks appear out of nowhere. "We know it is a supernatural occurrence, whether or not it is gold," says pastor Bill Ligon of Christian Renewal Church in Brunswick, Georgia. His church began witnessing the gold dust phenomenon early this year. "The fact remains that God is sending a supernatural sign in our midst that He is using to win the lost, heal the sick and deliver the oppressed," Ligon says. And that is what most people involved in this movement contend: If people are being healed or converted to Christ, or if their faith is being strengthened, or if they are becoming more zealous in evangelism as a result of gold dust or gold fillings, then God is at work no matter how bizarre these miracles seem or how much they offend human reasoning. The real "acid test," says Anglican minister Trevor Pearce, is whether people affected by these miracles grow closer to the Lord, develop greater faith in His power and become more serious about the things of God. Notes Pearce: "Satan doesn't do those things." *

Testimonies of Ministry
in Glasgow
Meetings
with Steve Long & Rob Critchley - April 9-11, 1998
"Before anyone even prayed,
Bill looked in my mouth and saw a large gold tooth and some silver
fillings. I did not expect or believe but it happened anyway"
Barbara
"Before Steve prayed for
the jaw problems he said check the teeth of your neighbour. The man
next to me said you have a gold coloured filling. I said I can't
have... we haven't prayed yet. But God had already begun giving out gold
fillings so we prayed and in several parts of the room, as we prayed,
God began to work. People from all parts of the room began to discover
fillings had turned gold in colour. I'm astounded."
Margaret
"Ann telephoned me and told
me that people were receiving gold filings at Friday night's meeting.
Ann had been praying for me as I was unable to be at the meeting
and I had broken a tooth on Tuesday of the week. I was joking with my
housegroup on Tuesday about receiving a gold filling so that I would not
have to go to the dentist on Friday. Anne told me to look in the
mirror. I did but I only looked at my broken tooth that had been
filled by the dentist the day before and it was still white. As I
was driving to pick up Ann to go to the Normandy, I looked in
my mouth when I stopped at traffic
lights and saw two of my teeth on the other side glinting. I thought
that it was the sunshine through the windows. On arriving at Ann's
she confirmed that my tooth was gold and the other one next to it was
silver. I was Godsmacked. Praise the Lord."
Emily
"On 30th March I had two
back molar crowns fitted and there on one of them that night was
a small round piece of bright silver/white gold glistening away. I was
Godsmacked. Already I have shown people and it's a wonderful introduction
to God's power. My bottom back fillings shine also, no longer dull. I love
God's sense of humour".
Liz
When I got home Suzanne
phoned to tell me about the gold teeth in the service. Later that
evening as I was sitting having coffee a thought occurred to me God
can do all things!! So I sat there and prayed, Father if this is
for Glasgow I want to be part of it PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME GOLD IN MY MOUTH,
and guess what I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror on the of
chance well KNOCK MY SOCKS OFF!! my filling had changed to a gold (dark
albeit but definitely gold) I just stood there and rejoiced, I almost fell
over with delight. I asked Suzanne to check my mouth and she confirmed
what I believed THERE'S GOLD IN MY MOUTH !!!!!!!
