God Is Still a God of Miracles
By Brother Tim Scolaro | May 18, 2026
This experience was submitted from the Mesa Branch in Arizona.
There is a young woman who has been attending our branch regularly for many months. She has been participating in a faith-based sober living program run by a couple of sisters in the branch, where we hold scripture studies on a weekly basis, and she has been receptive to treatment as well as to the gospel message.
At the time she joined the program and stopped using drugs and alcohol, she was already pregnant, so there was a concern about the health of the baby due to the exposure to substances early in the pregnancy.
She delivered the baby at full term, and while he initially seemed to be okay, in just a few days, he started experiencing tremors and blanking out on a frequent basis. There was great concern that these were seizures that might be an indication of serious brain damage.
She asked to have the baby blessed in our church, and we suggested that he be anointed at the same time, which she gladly agreed to. Up to the time of his blessing, he was continuing to experience these episodes multiple times a day.
After the blessing and anointing, the episodes stopped completely, and after several months, praise God, he remains completely healthy!
This has been a faith-building experience not only for her and her family, but also for all, including the other program participants who witnessed the healing power of God upon this child.
Do you have a testimony to share?
We'd love to hear about what God has been doing in your life or your branch or mission. You may have told the experience a hundred times, but there are many who still have not yet heard. We would love to share what God has done and praise Him with you.
