Encourage your Sunday School, Youth Group and Kids Club with the true story of Demos Shakarian.
Demos wonders "Will I be a prophet like Efim? or will I be a healer?God says, "All my people can do these things."After the healing in his ears Demos at 14 years wondered if he would become a prophet like Efim but the years passed and one day a new happening made him think maybe he would be a healer.
Demos’s youngest sister Florence was six years old when she fell against a rough pipe in the barn and broke the bones in her elbow.
When the doctor had finished they said the elbow would remain bent and stiff – moving only the smallest bit.
That was the best they could expect.
Demos says, ‘One Sunday in church I felt again the sensation of the warm heavy blanket across my shoulders. I knew at once what to do:
I was to step across the room and pray for the healing of Florence’s arm.
While everyone was singing a hymn, I got quietly up from my seat and walked over to my little sister.
I leaned down to Florence her right arm encased in a huge plaster cast. 
The warmth of the blanket spread down my arms and into my hands. “Florence,” I whispered, “I’m going to pray for your elbow.”
Her large dark eyes watched me. I placed my hands on the cast. I hardly prayed at all, but just stood there feeling the fire flood down my arms and hands into the plaster around Florence’s elbow.
“I feel that!” Florence whispered. “It feels hot.”And that was all.In a moment the sensation of the blanket left me and I returned to my seat. I doubt if half a dozen people had noticed us. A few weeks later the cast came off. At dinner that evening Mother told us how the specialist had carefully tried to straighten the arm slowly and gently.
But Florences’ arm moved easily in wide circles from the elbow. The doctor’s face broke into a wide smile. “Well…!” he kept saying, “Well!
Better than I expected. Much better! Why, it’s...it’s like an arm that was never broken!”Learn more in the Kids Pages.
