God is Still Doing Miracles
Broadway Musician
saved from hell and death
Here is the testimony from Caspar that we promised
we would share with you. This is an amazing true story about how he
was miraculously healed by the Lord. It's well worth taking a few minutes
to read about how God is working. I believe it will encourage you.
Some years ago I was involved with Broadway, playing the part of the
John Lennon in Beatlemania, and also recording as a solo artist for
Atlantic Records. With my career going the way it was, a lot of people
would think I was in the midst of fulfilling the American dream, but
in actuality, it was a very stressful time in my life. My mother had
died from cancer and then my father was murdered shortly thereafter.
Little did I know that it would all take its toll on me some years later.
It was my friend, Phil Keaggy, who lead me to the Lord back then, and
helped me to break free from secular music, and learn to live my life
for the Lord, Jesus Christ. I will always be grateful to Phil for sharing
Jesus with me and for being such a good role model to me. Anyway, I
was out playing here and there doing concerts, and ran into some difficulties
a few years ago. Somehow I managed to come down with a heart condition.
We are talking serious stuff here. I discovered that it also ran in
my family tree, but having been an orphan now for a number of years,
I did not know anything about this at first. The Bible talks about blessings
and curses, and the sins of the Father being passed on to the third
and forth generations. (Read Exodus 34:7, Deuteronomy Chapt 28, II Timothy
3:16 and Galations 3:10-3:29) I will tell you that I did not grow up
in a Christian home.
I was sent to see a cardiologist after a week in hospital in the fall
of '99, and the future looked pretty grim. I had just acquired a young
3 year old Tennessee Walking horse, as I have been an equestrian most
of my life, and am as passionate about horses, as I am about art and
music. I was told I would never ride again. Soon I was put on some very
dangerous medicines, that actually have caused sudden death, the very
thing it is supposed to prevent. Being a believer, I desperately ran
after the Lord. Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." I was at a church
service in Dallas, GA about that time. My friend, Eddie Rogers, who
was a pastor there prophesied over me, and told me the Lord would heal
me and I would receive a miracle, and live a long healthy life. Eddie
helped me understand that the Lord wants to heal us, but we still have
our part to play. I mean, not everyone gets saved, and yet the Bible
teaches that God wants to save all of us that none shall parish. Of
course you can see God wants to heal all of us as well, but we still
have a part to play. We have choices to make. How many times in the
Bible did Jesus say to someone, "your faith has healed you?! "
So faith must have a part in getting one healed. Without faith we can
not even be saved. You are saved by faith! ( If you have not yet been
healed, I am not saying that maybe you don't have enough faith, because
God gives us all a measure of faith. Faith can increase, however."So
then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"--
Romans10:17 ) Also, "as a man thinkth so he is." So I came
to that place where I had to ask myself, "Whose report are you
going to believe?" I sought after the Lord Jesus, day and night
and discovered Hebrews 13:8 that God is the same yesterday, today and
forever. Malachi 3:6 He changes not!
So I got to thinking, "when did he stop doing miracles?" My
friends the Newsboys all prayed for me and the lead singer, Peter Furler
told me his dad, Bill, had prayed for a blind man once, back in Australia
and he received his sight. My good friend Seth Barnes of AIM, (Adventures
in Missions) encouraged me in the Word, and also showed me amazing reports
from around the world where the Lord was still doing miracles, healing
people, and even raising some from the dead. He got me to read a book
by Jack Deere, Surprised by the Spirit, and in it I found stories that
also helped build my faith. There was one story of a young boy who had
been dead over six hours, and a evangelist from North Carolina, named
Mahesh Chavda was used to pray him back to life with many witnesses.
Yes, this happened in our life time. Read your Bible and see for yourselves.
It talks about casting out evil spirits and raising the dead. (Mark
16 and Matt 10:7-8--KJV) After the Holy Spirit came upon them even the
Apostles did these things. As believers we are told "this and greater
things shall you do!" Many Christians just do not study the Word
for themselves, but trust their pastor instead to think for them, which
actually puts extra burdens on the pastor. No offence, but they are
still just men too, and in Romans 7 Saint Paul admits the things he
wants to do he does not always do, and the things he does not want to
do-- that he does, because of the evil that dwells within. All of us
have fallen short, of the glory of God. What I am trying to say is you
need Jesus Christ to be Lord over all of your life-- every aspect of
it. So make sure all the thoughts you have line up with what God says.
Think holy words always!
Anyway, I started looking for the Lord in a number of Churches and ministries
and as He said, "seek and you shall find!" Eventually I ended
up at Pleasant Valley Ministries in Thomaston, GA. After receiving ministry
there, I was healed of a so-called incurable heart disease! Then in
July 2001 I was there for a church service just a week after I was ordained
as a minister, which was also the same day I was taken off heart medicine.
I was asked to share my gifts of music in that service, but instead
of doing so, I began to have heart trouble, of which I knew I was already
healed. My Doctor, Terri Allen of Montgomery, Alabama, (the Fit Center)
who to me is the best doctor in the world, was with me at the time.
I recall her taking my pulse and looking very concerned, but saying,
"we have tried medicine, now we must just trust in the Lord,"
and she kept praying for me all through this time.
After the service had ended, I was talking to Pastor Henry and his staff,
and I suddenly started to pass out. Actually, I was dying right there
on the alter of the Lord. Dr. Terri, was taking my pulse. For two and
half hours it had been faint and irregular, and was at this moment completely
gone! All I recall was hearing Pastor Henry say," I know how to
deal with this." Pastor Henry prayed at this time, apparently casting
out a spirit of death. I recall Dr. Terri telling me how astonishing
that was because she had her finger on my pulse, and it was non-existant.
The instant Pastor Henry prayed, my pulse came back so strong and healthy
that it pushed her finger off, which had never happened to her before
in all her years of medical practice and ER duties.
It's impossible to have no pulse and then suddenly have a normal healthy
one. Anita Hill, who is a nurse and Pastor Henry's assistant, was taking
my pulse on the other hand and had the exact same experience as Dr,
Terri. The Bible tells us, "Nothing is Impossible with God!"
In a tape series called " Spirit World Realities 2002 " by
Pastor Henry, he mentions this story and goes on to say,"What should
we have done? Called 911? It would have been too late. We called on
the name of Jesus, and Caspar is alive and well today!"
Pastor Henry Wright, is one of the most Christ-like men I have ever
met in my life. I believe he operates in all nine gifts of the Holy
Spirit. I am eternally grateful to him for the work he does in ministry
to teach the truth and set people free. I believe perhaps, thousands
of people have been healed of all sorts of terrible diseases by the
Lord, through this ministry all around the world. I would strongly suggest
you take a look at the book, A More Excellent Way, and also Biblical
Foundations for Freedom, which were transcribed from Pastor Henrys teaching
of the Word. If you have not yet heard of it, you can order it at 800
453 5775.
A few months ago I was preaching at a Church, and Dr Terri drove over
four hours both ways, just to help me testify to what I have just shared.
When Dr. Terri shared her side of the story at the end of the service,
she went on to say that indeed, it would have been to late to call 911,
and that I had already been on last ditch medicine. There was nothing
anyone could have done to save me. I ask you, do we serve a Living God
or what?!!! All Praise be to my Lord Jesus Christ, I thank Him everyday
for my now good health, for allowing me to still be here to watch my
children grow up in the knowledge of the Lord, to be here for my wife,
family, and friends, and to ride my horse again, to make music and art
unto the Lord, and serve Him through this ministry. Alleleuia!
