People Had Silver Manifest Tonight!!!
February 14, 2007
We had Awana tonight. For those not familiar it is a children's
bible memory program, a club, kind of like boyscouts or girlscouts
but with bible memorization.
I was helping a 2nd grade autistic boy. As we were looking up
bible verses and filling in blanks on his worksheet about God's
goodness, my hand got hot. Instinctively I looked at it and
noticed silver was starting to manifest on my palm.
People who attend Awana come from the community, from a variety
of backgrounds, including some kids who do not go to church.
Of course my typical reaction was that I did not want to call
attention to this so as not to offend anyone. But as God continued
to manifest on my hands the joy rose up in me such that I could
no longer keep it to myself.
I secretly signaled for my two children, 9 & 11, to come
behind my chair and sneak a peek at my hands. They had seen
silver like this before. My 11 year old quietly went back to
her seat, smiling. But my 9 year old did not go quietly. The
funny thing is I know that my 9 year old son can't keep quiet!
I believe God gave me temporary amnesia.
My son instantly went back to one of his friends and loudly
announced that his mom had silver from God on her hands. As
he spoke, his unchurched friend began to get silver on his hands.
And when the friend showed him, my son got silver on his hands
too. Then people started popping up like popcorn. One person,
then another, then another. Before long we scrapped our books
and were just gawking at the silver on our hands. Virtually
every person in the room - 10 kids - 5 adults - had silver at
one point - anywhere from just a fleck or two - to silver all
over both hands. One moment it wasn't there, and the next moment
it was.
The best part is the person with the most silver was one of
our newest church members who transferred from a conservative
congregation. The mother of the autistic boy. I was so concerned
she might get offended about what was happening. When her son
ran across the room to tell his mother that I had silver on
my hands, she held up hers and we were shocked. One of her fingertips
looked as if it had been dipped in silver. She had so much on
her hands it could have been photographed (but there was no
camera.) Come to find out this happens to her often! She just
didn't know what it was. Even her son got a few flecks - which
of course being autistic - he wanted to wash off immediately.
When it would not come off I had to explain to him that it's
OK - it won't last forever - God is touching your hands - and
the silver will fade away on it's own.
Another little boy had a hand so red it looked (and he said
it felt) like it was burning.
At some point I regained composure and realized that the most
appropriate thing to do was explain what we were experiencing.
A novice myself, I had to laugh because it was only last week
my husband and I were searching the scriptures for answers about
the unusual manifestations we have been experiencing. I clearly
remembered, chapter and verse (which is rare for me) Psalm 68:13
- talks about the dove (the holy spirit) - and the silver and
the gold on the wings of the dove.
15 people within 15 minutes! I can't believe it. When my hands
first started manifesting I prayed that nobody would feel left
out or envious or confused. Well that surely did not happen
- because everybody in the room either experienced or witnessed
it - and even the people who didn't have it at first had at
least a few flecks by the time Awana ended. Two hours later
I still had a couple flecks.
My kids and I were laughing and singing the whole way home in
the car.
God is good!!!
