I haven't been here for a while...but when I re-read this response...I had to share again...
only this time...it's about God healing me!!!...(and it's happened more then just this time too)...
As an Iron Worker...my career ended in Nov., 98 when I was impaled through my right foot...A piece of heavy gage wire came right up through my boot and caused alot of damage...Two surgeries later...I came away limping...and I do it quite well by now I might add...
You can only imagine...a single dad...with a, then 7 year old boy, living on the top floor of an apartment building...and NO elevator...lol...
It took almost 4 yaers for my foot to stop swelling, every time I took my boots off...
Chris and I would pray together...(he had a loft bed)...and he would always tell me my foot was purple...
This caused alot of damage...to my right leg...and lower spine as I would always favor the outside of my foot as I walked...
In the last church I was in, I was in the chior...and standing for periods of time would cause me alot of trouble...the damage now included my right knee...It was twice the size it should be...I would actually fight just to be able to stand and sing(it was swollen for several years)...Actually I dont remember it NOT being swollen since the acquired injury...
I remember people standing in front of me while we would sing...and friend would place her hand on my leg and pray for my healing...This happened alot when the leaders would pray...and when we prayed for each other...
Well...a few years ago...(6 years after the acident), we were at chior practice...It was Saturday and we were getting ready for the Easter Cantata...
We had what they called "a hot seat"...in which people would gather around and pray for each other...laying on hands...etc...
I and 2 other people were standing in the center as everyone prayed and stood in agreement...After they were finished praying I limped over to the platform and sat down...I looked at my knee...I was no longer in any pain...and IT WAS HALF THE SIZE...the swelling was going down...I SHOUTED!!!
A friend looked at me...then my knee and said..."I'm a witness"...as well as another lady that was there...
By the time I got home from the church...it was half the size again...and well, lets just say...GOD healed my knee completely...as I haven't had any trouble or swelling like it was for so long since...
My knee hasn't had any trouble ever since that Saturday...
PRAISE GOD!!!!
