Greetings!
We are excited about the Tabernacle being restored. It is a slow process, and we still have a long way to go, but nevertheless, we are pressing forward each month.
I have often thought, "Oh, if only these walls could talk!" I want to share some incredible testimonies to you regarding God moving here in Miracle Valley. I believe you will enjoy hearing about them.
If this building could speak, it would have so many stories to tell us about God and His miraculous power. These miracles are so extraordinary that they literally seem to be unbelievable.
Just some of the documented films that we have in the Archives show a 97 year old woman with a broken hip who was instantly healed by the power of God. The woman stood to her feet and began walking and praising God!

Then there is the GLADYS NELSON TESTIMONY. This woman was a wonderful wife and mother, that is, during the daylight hours. But at night, she became a raging maniac and would try to kill her family.
The woman literally slept in a barn during the night away from her family so she would not have the opportunity to kill them. This went on for seven long years. But Praise God, she went to Allen's revivals and was instantly delivered from the powers of hell.

Then there is the young girl with cancer whom God heals instantly. The power of God comes upon this young girl. She jumped from her wheel chair and ran throughout the Tabernacle, thanking God for her miracle.
Another documented miracle is when God healed a woman with an enlarged heart.

A miracle that I never hear of before involved a 52 year old woman who had her breasts removed due to cancer. A minister testified that God gave his wife this same type of creative miracles. God put back what the surgeons removed.
This woman had faith in God. Allen prayed for her and immediately, God gave her a creative miracle. Instantly, God created breasts on that woman in the Tabernacle here at Miracle Valley.
The miracles that have occurred on these sacred grounds are like nothing you have ever seen before.
The television films and Miracle Magazine articles that we have in our Archives reveal some of the most incredible miracles that a person has ever seen.

A few years ago, we obtained film footage for a documentary that we hope to develop soon. On the film footage, I asked Urbane Leiendecker (the gentleman who donated his ranch to Allen for a Bible College) "What was the greatest miracle you ever saw in your life?" His statement was most amazing.
 Urbane pointed out that Allen stated there was a man who had his arm cut off just below the elbow.
Allen prayed for this man and it appeared that nothing had happened. However, the next day, the man's arm had grown about 6 inches.
The following day, a hand began to be formed on the man's arm. Then God began to create a thumb on the man's hand.
And each day thereafter, God created the various fingers onto the man's hand. First it was the index finger, the next day it was the middle finger, and so on until one week later, the man had a new hand and five new created fingers.

Some time ago, standing with Urbane in the Tabernacle, he began to chuckle. Then he related to me that he recalled the time when a woman was brought into the Tabernacle who was about to die. All hope was gone, and the doctors had given her up.
The woman was lying on a stretcher and had needles and tubes throughout her body. She even had her own personal nurse present with her.
They brought this woman up the ramp for Allen to pray for. As Allen began to pray for the woman, he suddenly stopped and said, "Lady, I am not going to pray for you. I see Jesus walking down the center aisle of this Tabernacle."
Urbane said that he did not see Jesus, nor did anyone else see Him; however, Allen said that he could see Jesus.
Allen said, "Lady, Jesus is walking toward you."
"He is getting ready to place His hand upon you."
"He is now putting His hand on you."
"Lady, Jesus said, 'Arise, and be healed!'"
Urbane said that woman immediately pulled the needles and tubes from her body and jumped from her stretcher. She started running and shouting around the Tabernacle.
The nurse ran after the woman, screaming to everyone that the woman would die if the needles and tubes were removed.
Evidentially, the nurse did not believe in divine healing or miracles.

One man from Georgia testified that the greatest miracle he ever saw in his life occurred in the Tabernacle when a man with no arms was prayed for. He said the man had hands sticking out at his shoulders. He testifies that God instantly grew arms out of that man's shoulders.

Another man states that a man came to Miracle Valley from California. The man brought his dead baby. He told the man, "Man, you can't bring dead people here to Miracle Valley!"
But the man from California stated that "God told me to bring my child to Miracle Valley and that He would bring my baby back to life."
About that time, Rev. Allen walked across the Tabernacle, and the man immediately threw his dead baby to Allen. When Allen caught the child, the baby came back to life.

These are some of the most incredible miracles that I have ever seen or heard of in my entire life. Like one man stated to me, "Dr. Harter, if we told everything that we saw and heard, people would put us in the insane asylum."
One gentleman visited with me several years ago. His name and picture is in one of the old Harvester Yearbooks. I remember his story so well. Keep in mind that this man is not a Christian, but yet has an incredible testimony to share. Here is his story -
"This place literally saved my life. I was going no where in life. I was a complete failure. But I attended the 9th grade of school here at Miracle Valley. And literally, that one year totally changed my life. I am what I am today in society because of my being in Miracle Valley."
This man had just retired from 35 years of being a football coach at a public high school. He said that after he left Miracle Valley, he went on to graduate from high school, and then from college. He became successful in life.
He said, "I don't know how he did it, but A. A. Allen had miracles! I have tried to figure it out, and I am not sure, but he must have had some type of supernatural power over the people because I personally saw the greatest miracles take place in the Tabernacle that I knew were not faked."
"I had to come back to this place today because it literally changed my life."
- - - - - -
I wonder "How many people's lives have been changed by what God did for them at Miracle Valley?"
Friends, don't put your eyes on Rev. A. A. Allen. He was just a man like you and me. The only thing was, Allen yielded himself to God and God used him.
God will use you as well if you will just totally dedicate yourself to Him. Remember, God's eyes are going "to and fro throughout the earth, looking for someone whose heart is perfect toward Him."
God needs someone who will "stand in the gap and make up the hedge." Will you be that person? You can if you really want to be!
