The miracle man. That’s what many believers called evangelist A. A. Allen. That’s because he was bold and confident in the power of God to work miracles through his ministry. His television commercials professed, “See! Hear! Actual miracles happening before your eyes! Cancer, tumors, goiters disappear! Crutches, braces, wheelchairs, stretchers discarded! Crossed eyes straightened! Caught by the camera as they occurred in the healing line before thousands of witnesses.” To be sure, Allen was one of the most heralded evangelists in the Voice of Healing Movement. The miracle man was incredibly gifted, dramatic – and controversial. Allen was also a type of apostolic forerunner. Religious enemies launched so many attacks against Allen that he felt he was surely one of the most persecuted men in ministry just because signs, wonders and miracles followed him. But Allen thrived under the pressure and refused to back down from his calling.
