Examples of this can be found in the "Primitive Methodist Magazine". For instance the December edition from 1824 contains an anecdote of a cripple being healed through her conversion to Primitive Methodism. Likewise the November edition from the same year contains a chapter on "raising the dead" (V) under the title "A Treatise on the Cultivation of the Spiritual Gifts". Primitive Methodists saw the Lord's work in everything. The "Primitive Methodist Magazine" of 1821 asserting that the movement had begun "undesigned of man" and was an example of "Divine Providence". The magazine continues to reveal further examples of God's power and favour towards them. A man who set out against the Primitive Methodists was struck down by illness, and a preacher who became lost and stranded was saved when the Lord sent people to find him.
