The Full Story
Miracles
Welcome to our page dedicated to the incredible miracles that have touched the lives of individuals in our jurisdiction. Here, we celebrate the extraordinary stories of hope, healing, and transformation that remind us of the power of faith and community. Join us as we explore these inspiring experiences that showcase the remarkable events that can occur when we least expect them.
People turning back to the Lord and Baptized.
Over the years there has been a few people in their retirement years wanting to come back to the Lord. Two ladies stand out as wanting Jesus, Father, and Holy Spirit. After re-dedicating to the Lord again they both indicated they wanted to be Baptized. Since they both where frail, we had them Baptized in the Chapel and at a house service. One in the interior of British Columbia in Canada, and the Other in Vancouver in Canada.
bouncing back from many close calls with diseases
Many people in our jurisdiction have had diseases where they where at deaths door. Including Fibromyalgia and Cancer. One of our Priests in England when he was with our jurisdiction Kept going into Hospital on deaths door. We would pray and God would bring him back to be able to be with his family and to minister.
Spared from Surgery. Fully healing in the leg.
A person in St. Zachariah's Chapel had Diabetes and the medication was not working. Everything they tried to do was not working. So our church kept praying for a miracle. The Doctors said they where going to have to amputate the leg up to the knee. Just before the Lord got the person on the right medication, and the leg was spared and healed.
Deliverance in a witchcraft fair
Over the years this juristiction has had impact in giving the Gospel in different Witchcraft areas and stores. We have seen people change their way of cursing and using demonic activity to seeking the light of Christ and His ways. Lately one of our Deacons prayed against the heaviness and hardness in a witchcraft fare.
Free from Persecution.
Over the years our small chapel in the Lower Mainland has had impact in praying for and helping people who have been facing persecution for their Christian/Catholic Beliefs. One Rev. spent six months at a time over two years in Jail in China. Every time he would be before the judge we would pray and God would free him and or help him. Then we had a couple in Pakistan that God brought to Canada after thirty years of exile and waiting. The men in the family had been beaten and put in prison. They are safe now. We had a minister fleeting from an Islamic country because of being threatened for his belief, and now is safe in Europe. Then we had helped through prayer and the hand of the Lord with a few men being beaten in Pakistan, and Jesus healed them.
Moving of St. Zachariah's Chapel.
Over ten years we have had to move the Chapel eleven times. For different reasons and for the safety and preservation of the Gospel. We have not had the resources or means to move the Chapel in our own strength. Yet the Lord has always provided and helped with finding movers and help. Since our chapel fits usually in one room and is with the Archbishop, its hard to keep all the materials for the Chapel and the relationship with others around. Yet the Lord has preserved it for the past Decade. We have been all over the lower mainland and Vancouver island on the West Coast of Canada. From the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver to Maple Ridge... Its been a miracle too, in getting to help all sorts of people in different denominations and backgrounds while keeping the Old Catholic Spirit Filled identity.
Blind now I see.
On missions in India our Archbishop was preaching and praying for people. There was a lady in the front row who was fully blind. Her son and Husband had left her. She had the joy of the Lord but needed the greatness of sight again. Jesus healed her fully, and her family was restored and living fine.
Influence around the world in missions
Old Catholic Spirit Filled Church has had in the past supervisory influence directly with over 40 churches and leaders around the world, and has visited or come in relationship with thousands of others. Archbishop Joel Dooley has ordained thirteen leaders who have moved on to do the will of Jesus in other churches. Seed planting and ministry has been an asset in this Jurisdiction to help the Church of Christ at Large.
