A most 'remarkable', challaneging and faith-building (though little-known) testimony

This book deserves far higher recognition that it has received. It was written well on a century ago, and yet, to this very day, very few Christians know of its existence. It's a remarkable testimony - or rather, a collection of scores of remarkable testimonies, from the life of a holiness Methodist itinerant preacher by name of C. G. Bevington, based in Kentucky, but who travelled far and wide across America. The man developed a most remarkable (there's that word again!) faith. He took God completely at His word - in a way that very few people ever do. He witnessed outstanding answers to his prayers again and again - usually against the staunchest of Satanic opposition. But he held on till he got the victory. Most of these stories are accounts of human physical healing. But numerous others are other examples of miracles - such as the healing of animals, the death of thousands of earth worms causing damage to a crop, details prophetic visions, control over the natural elements, and numerous others. In each case, Bevington had to fight, nearly always for hours, and sometimes continuously for many days or even weeks, to reach the point of victory. this is true intercession - though oddly the author never refers to it by that term. The intercession was usually accompanied by days or weeks of fasting, and a complete reliance on God. He distilled a wonderful ability to hear the voice of God (which, again came through many hours a day in the 'secret closet'). The book ranks alongside the likes of 'Rees Howells, Intercessor' by Norman Grubb, and 'Intercession - Your Power To Possess Nations' (a much more recent book) by Michael Howard, who in fact was the one who recommended 'Remarkable Miracles' to me. I'm so grateful that he did. This is an outstanding read. Ok, so you may struggle a little with Bevington's personal views on sanctification ('the second blessing'), but perhaps there's something to learn here too. But if you're prepared to lay aside any small quibbles, then there's little doubt, you'll be thoroughly blessed by this testimony. I read the entire book within 24 hours. I literally couldn't put the thing down till I had read it right through! The real test of the book, of course, is putting the principles gleaned to the test. That's the tough bit. This mustn't just be an enjoyable read. Bevington wouldn't have wanted that at all. He would want us to learn deeply from it - allowing it to change our whole lives. If we allow it, it will do just that.

A wonderful book because...

Christ was real to Brother Bevington. This man prayed hours and hours on end, until he got an answer and then he did what God asked him to do. He spent his time in prayer and in the Bible and let God take care of the rest. Some of the accounts are incredible and writing style reminds me of Mark Twain.

The finest book on healing for those who need help.

God used this very book to give me the faith I needed to see God HEAL ME. This man, through prayer and faith alone, saw God do mighty miracles of healing, sanctification, and revival. This is for our lives today - its not gone !! If you are suffering, please read this book and give God a chance to heal you. Mr. Bevington writes, "Look up, weary one; Jesus is the same today as when He walked the Judean hills and healed many there. He wants to heal you, to get a chance to heal you". I am living proof that He can and will. 3/16/06.

The finest book on faith, prayer and miracles

This book should be read by all Christians and non Christians. The book is his life's account of a Holy and devoted walk with the Lord. A man who would pray and recieve answer in the most amazing ways. His life should be an example to all, a truly powerfull and entertaining read on God working through a devoted servant. I have been buying books for all friends and family and they are all learning about true faith and healing.

awsome

Read this book two times. Has inspired me to be more patient on receiving answers to prayer and to be more persistant in my own prayer time. Love the book. It is also funny at times.
