第1356号怀姐妹行神迹吗？

怀姐妹行神迹吗？没有，没有。{18MR 372.1}[1]

有人问：怀姐妹曾经行过神迹吗？从未行过。我曾有荣幸极其恳切地为病人祈祷并奉主的名按手在他们身上。然而是上帝的圣灵行了神迹，而不是作为媒介的人。{18MR 372.2}[2]

我现在不可能描绘所有情况。因为情况不少。我经验过的实例一直在增加。我为病人祈祷，他们就起来了，往往是从不可救药的状况得恢复的。一些情况很奇妙。没有人能行神迹，而是圣灵回应祷告叫我从危重疾病起来，有一次是起死复生——使我又活了。[据目前所知，怀爱伦在她87岁的一生中并没有死而复活过。然而，在1882年10月7日，在加利福尼亚州希尔兹堡，她从她和其他人认为她最后的疾病立刻得了痊愈和恢复。关于这一经验，她说：“我丈夫去世后一年左右，我非常虚弱，当时真担心自己活不了多久。希尔兹堡帐篷大会时，我被抬进了有我们的大批会众聚集的帐篷里。我请求将我从所卧的躺椅上扶起来，搀到讲台上，好向众人说几句告别的话。当我试图讲话时，上帝的能力临到我身上，从始至终一直激励着我。会众里许多人注意到我很虚弱，脸和手没有血色；但是当我开始讲话时，他们看到我的嘴唇和脸面有了气色，便知道上帝为我行了奇事。我站在人前得了痊愈，并且自由地发了言。”——《信息选粹》卷一第54页。她的秘书C.C.克莱斯勒在后来的年月说：“大批的会众目睹了这次的康复。大家都注意到她声音的改变，许多人还观察到她面容的改变。他们看到她的脸色从死人一样的苍白突然转变成了健康的红润，所看到的是自然的气色，先是在她的颈部，后是在脸的下半部，然后到了前额。希尔兹堡的一个商人惊呼：“在这全会众眼前行着一个奇迹！”会后她向询问的朋友们证实主医治了她。”——《怀爱伦自传》第263页]{18MR 372.3}[3]

It is not possible for me to describe all the cases now. They are not few. The multiplied instances have been all through my experience. I have prayed for the sick and they were raised up, often from a hopeless condition. Some cases were wonderful. No human agencies work miracles, but the Holy Spirit has, in answer to prayer, raised me up from severe illness, and once brought me back from death--brought me to life. [AS FAR AS IS KNOWN, ELLEN WHITE DID NOT DIE AND THEN RETURN TO LIFE AT ANY POINT DURING HER 87-YEAR LIFETIME. HOWEVER, ON OCTOBER 7, 1882, AT HEALDSBURG, CALIFORNIA, SHE WAS INSTANTLY HEALED AND RESTORED FROM WHAT SHE AND OTHERS THOUGHT WAS HER LAST ILLNESS. OF THIS EXPERIENCE SHE DECLARED: "ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THE DEATH OF MY HUSBAND, I WAS VERY FEEBLE, AND IT WAS FEARED THAT I MIGHT LIVE BUT A SHORT TIME. AT THE HEALDSBURG CAMP MEETING, I WAS TAKEN INTO THE TENT WHERE THERE WAS A LARGE GATHERING OF OUR PEOPLE. I ASKED TO BE RAISED UP FROM THE LOUNGE ON WHICH I WAS LYING, AND ASSISTED TO THE SPEAKER'S PLATFORM, THAT I MIGHT SAY A FEW WORDS OF FAREWELL TO THE PEOPLE. AS I TRIED TO SPEAK, THE POWER OF GOD CAME UPON ME, AND THRILLED ME THROUGH AND THROUGH. MANY IN THE CONGREGATION OBSERVED THAT I WAS WEAK, AND THAT MY FACE AND HANDS SEEMED BLOODLESS; BUT AS I BEGAN SPEAKING THEY SAW THE COLOR COMING INTO MY LIPS AND FACE, AND KNEW THAT A MIRACLE WAS BEING WROUGHT IN MY BEHALF. I STOOD BEFORE THE PEOPLE HEALED, AND SPOKE WITH FREEDOM."--SELECTED MESSAGES, BOOK 1, P. 54. HER SECRETARY IN LATER YEARS, C. C. CRISLER, ADDS: "THE LARGE CONGREGATION WITNESSED THE HEALING. ALL NOTICED THE CHANGE IN HER VOICE, AND MANY OBSERVED THE CHANGE IN HER COUNTENANCE. THEY SAW THE SUDDEN TRANSITION FROM A DEATHLIKE PALENESS TO THE FLUSH OF HEALTH, AS THE NATURAL COLOR WAS SEEN, FIRST IN HER NECK, THEN IN THE LOWER PART OF THE FACE, AND THEN IN THE FOREHEAD. ONE OF THE BUSINESS MEN OF HEALDSBURG EXCLAIMED, 'A MIRACLE IS BEING WROUGHT IN SIGHT OF THIS WHOLE CONGREGATION!' AFTER THE MEETING SHE TESTIFIED TO INQUIRING FRIENDS THAT THE LORD HAD HEALED HER."--LIFE SKETCHES, P. 263.] {18MR 372.3}[3]

怀姐妹为许多病人祷告过，他们得了医治。有许许多多的人得了医治，我的丈夫和我为他们祷告过，按手在他们身上，他们便得了医治并荣耀上帝。但我并没有行神迹；我求告那位行神迹的主，祂以显著的方式应允了我的祈祷。祂灵的光充满了房间，一些人因上帝的能力而仆倒，失去了力量。但他们心中和口中却充满了对上帝的赞美。（《文稿》1907年159号）怀爱伦著作托管委员会1988年1月22日全文发表于美国首都华盛顿。{18MR 372.4}[4]
