John of God: The Brazilian Healer Who's Touched the Lives of Millions by Heather Cumming

Sometime in 1951 João Teixeira de Faria, age nine, rightly predicted which houses in his aunt's neighborhood would be damaged or destroyed by an impending windstorm. Since then, his abilities have expanded to include the channeling of a number of Entities, or spirits. Two of his followers (from the Casa de Dom Inácio de Loyola, where he makes his home and performs his healings), Cumming and Leffler, began gathering testimonials and "spirit photographs," pictures that they believe capture the essence of the spirits. The result is a combination history–prayer guide–visitors' primer on medium João and his work in South America and throughout the world.

  I Do Not Heal, God is the One Who Heals: A Tribute to John of God (DVD)

John of God, an ordinary man with an astonishing gift as a psychic medium, does extraordinary spiritual healing. This documentary is the insider's view of John of God's work narrated by a woman he recognizes as a "daughter of the House" and produced by an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Since 1960 John of God has been helping people who come to him in Brazil to heal from AIDS, cancer, and every kind of emotional and/or physical disorder----all at no charge. People come from all over the world to consult with him. The vast majority have profound spiritual experiences. Some receive their healing through meditation and prayer, others through psychic or etheric surgery-a small percent choose a physical intervention. Those having physical surgeries do not experience pain, and there is little bleeding. Numbers of physicians have studied John's work, and reported on its authenticity. "For thousands of years the priesthood held and carried the Way. It is now time to share the ancient mystical knowledge, so that everyone may benefit."

Miracle Making In Abadiania
©2005, Kimberly V. Schneider

         Our youngest daughter, Bridget, was born prematurely.  She has struggled to gain weight, to walk and talk, to do all the things most children take for granted.  She was also born with a heart defect.   Bridget had 3 open heart surgeries before she turned 3 years old.  She's now 5. 

     Every few months, we take her for another echocardiogram, and her cardiologist reminds us that, at least in the western medical reality, we should expect more surgeries for her in the future.  In April, after yet another echocardiogram and a discussion about future surgeries, I realized I was tired of waiting for the day when we would be told to schedule another visit to the OR.  I didn't like living this reality anymore—I was ready for another reality, and I thought that Bridget deserved one.  The awkward part was, I didn't know what that reality would look like. 

     In addition to pursuing the best medical care available, my husband David and I have sought many different forms of energy work and alternative healing methods for Bridget since she was a baby.  I've no doubt that this work has enhanced her health and even saved her life, but so far none of it has been able to obviate surgical intervention altogether (although, it must be said, we don't know that we would have made it this long without a surgery if not for the complementary methods we've used). 

     Shortly after Bridget's last cardiology appointment I received an email commemorating the prophet Moses' parting of the Red Sea.  The email invited me to turn my back on whatever was lurking behind me and step out in faith, to believe in new possibilities.  I mentioned the email to my friend Brenda-Fay (who happens to study Kabbalah) and she told me a detail in the story I had never heard before:  the Red Sea did not part until Moses and his people were up to their noses in saltwater.  They had to act on their belief before it became evident that anything would change.  Their faith that God would open a way for them was that strong.  I began praying for that sort of faith and meditating on the Hebrew Name of God that means "Miracle Making."
