An evangelist says to the crowd, “Is there anyone here who wishes to be healed?”
An old man on crutches hobbles up. “My name is Fred, and I would like to be able to walk again.” The evangelist says, “Bless you, Fred, please wait behind that curtain. Is there anyone else who wishes to be healed?”
Another man comes up. “M-m-my name is P-P-Patrick, and I w-w-would like to lose my s-s-stutter.” Evangelist says, “Bless you, Patrick, please wait behind the curtain.” Then he says, “I want everyone here to pray for those two believers behind the curtain.” After ten minutes, the evangelist calls out, “Fred! Throw your crutches over the curtain!” A pair of crutches come flying over the curtain. “Praise the lord!” says the evangelist, “Patrick, please say something!” And Patrick says, “F-F-Fred f-f-fell down.”
