The reason I told the story is that miraculous tales of healing don't necessarily "prove" the validity of someone's healing power. Don't forget the placebo effect.
So if some guy is addicted, suicidal, then goes to a talk by some Pentacostal or charismatic minister and suddenly becomes a new person, maybe it was just his time to turn it around. He could have gotten an miraculous epiphany at a rock concert, a poetry reading, an art exhibit, watching football or a movie, or becoming a Moonie.
