He Wondered If God Had Forgotten About Him

“We are also seeing many miracles in our islands,” he added. “I am a doctor who fully believes in the power of prayer and divine healing.” Then he shared with me a "recent miracle" that he said took place in the life of Eydun Jacobsen, a “well-known singer and song-writer” in the Faroe Islands.

“This took place about six week ago," said Dr. Rana. “Eydun Jacobsen is a Charismatic Christian who is about 55 years of age and is well known for his songs about loving God and following him. He is also known in other countries in Scandinavia for his songs.“But then, about six months ago, he suffered a stroke which resulted in him not being able to use his left hand, legs and he also had trouble speaking. When he had the stroke he was taken to the hospital and because the effects of it were so severe, he was kept there for several months.“After four months, they told him one Friday evening that couldn’t help him anymore. By then he was not able to use his left leg or his left hand as the fingers were paralyzed.” Dr. Rana said that the singer-songwriter was discharged and went home, but became frustrated because he couldn’t play the guitar or piano anymore. “He attends a good church that believes in miracles and on a Sunday evening shortly after leaving the hospital, and halfway through the meeting, he wondered if God had forgotten about him as he was still unable to use his limbs,” said Dr. Rana.
