FOR some, the idea of miracles happening in the 21st century seems far-fetched, but Bishop Dr Grace Ade-Gold says miracles are a regular occurrence in her life, which proves that God is still in the business of doing the impossible.

A deliverance minister and pastor of Arise Shine Apostolic and Deliverance Ministries, Ade-Gold said she has “seen signs and wonders” and proclaims, “I live in miracles”.

In testimony about His miraculous power, she recounted an encounter in which a woman who had sores all over her body was brought to her for deliverance; she had stopped breathing and was brought back to life through the power of prayer.

While visiting a church in Manchester in 2004, a mother came to the church and begged them to deliver her daughter from her health condition that caused her body to be filled with sores.

“She was brought because the mother said she had gone to every place but they could not heal her [daughter]. As we were praying for her, she fell down and became lifeless,” Ade-Gold recounted.

“Her mother actually walked off [earlier] to go outside of the church while she left her in our hands. The second pastor quickly went for a mirror to put it near her nose, and there was nothing, and she said, ‘Oh, she’s probably dead.’ I said, ‘Okay, we’re going to pray, and she’s going to come back,’ ” she told the Jamaica Observer.

“The mother, at some point, came to the door to see if something was happening, and she quickly came to us and said, ‘What’s happening? What’s happening?’ We said, ‘Just hold on,’ and we prayed, and she started to breathe again and cough and all of that. We prayed for her, and she was delivered,” Ade-Gold said.

She said she has even had experiences where God has spoken to her directly, using various signs and wonders.

She told the Sunday Observer that a few months after her husband’s passing, she was planning a regional conference for prayer when a man came to her church and told her that he received orders to kill her.

“He said that this was the third time he had come because each time he came, I was out of the office. The third time when he came, he said he wanted to kill me but he couldn’t touch me. He didn’t know what happened to him, but he had just got so weak, he couldn’t move,” she shared, adding that it had to be God who delivered her from that situation.

In a separate instance, she said she saw a cloud on the church platform that followed her everywhere she went. A few days later, a document she received from the Registrar of Companies was soaking wet, but no one knew how.

For six weeks she said she tried to dry the document, but had no luck. She said the Lord then spoke to her and told her to read Isaiah 2:8, which speaks about people worshipping idols, and told her to take down all the idols in His Father’s house.

As individuals around the world mark Easter Sunday, which is the joyous celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, Bishop Ade-Gold said the occasion serves to remind those who doubt miracles exist, about the power of the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent God.

“If Jesus came and did miracles and even put His own life into the hand of man to kill Him and on the third day He resurrected, then who are we to say there are no miracles?” she questioned.

She further warned individuals against seeking deliverance from those who practise evil, instead urging them to turn to God this Easter season.

“If Jamaica is a Christian country and worshipping the mighty God, the only God, then we should run from deceit and have nothing to do with the world of darkness. The worlds of darkness are unprofitable and evil. We should run from it,” said Bishop Ade-Gold. “We should go after God rather than witchcraft and all kinds of evil that is polluting us, polluting the nation and the land. The nation itself is filthy and needs to be cleansed. The people are filthy and need to be cleansed,” she said, urging Christians to rise up and fight for Jesus.
