Frank Amedia, a televangelist, tells the story: bitten on the leg by an ant while praying and instinctively swatted it, before crushing it into pieces with his thumb.
“All of a sudden, the Holy Spirit speaks to me so clearly. It was as clear as I have ever heard,” he said. “It was the voice of the Father. The Father calls me son, and the Father said, ‘Son, look at the ant’ … And then the Lord said to me, ‘Son, I hear the cry of an ant.’ “I began to weep inside of me,” Amedia continued. “And then the Lord said, ‘Son, take your finger and touch the ant.’
“the power of God shot out … and the ant, it came alive and the pieces all were together and it jumped up on my finger, came up very slowly my palm, and stopped right there as if it was looking right at me.”
All this is just fine, but to suggest that faith alone will help people overcome serious medical issues is risky business. There is absolutely no proof — really none — that his prayers were the reason everything and everyone got better. It might be nice to know the patients’ names, just to follow up.
How about a photo of the resurrected ant?
Raising anything from the dead isn’t something we see everyday, yet the details are buried somewhere.
But that’s how these people operate, always vague.
They never offer specifics.
And Amedia doesn’t provides medical records and we never hear from the doctors.
Watch the video, you can draw your own conclusions.
